Hey Mom and Dad,
Mom: I hope you are doing well, thanks for all the letters your write to me! I enjoyed your last one about the good updates on you and Dad with the WML calling and how the conference in Florida went. Cant wait till you start school again huh? You are such a great teacher and all my classmates would always say how much they enjoyed you as their 3rd grade teacher! And to answer your Q's on the letter: Im doing alot better today and am having fun getting back to work. My week kinda sucked but had a great Pday yesterday and got some good shopping in haha. We are teachin baptisimal prospects named Camillio, Ben, and Lisa (I know somebody with that name? :) ) We have a bap date set with Ben and are doing well with the others who are taking everything seriously that we are telling them! The conversations that I have with people are usually about their lives, I talk about you guys when I have the chance because I love you so much. I am learning members names alot better but get confused every once in awhile with some like the Warrens and the Webbers. My comp is doing well and I think were going to end in this area well together. Shin splints are fine thanks to DAD. Im doing pretty good on cards and envelopes, I get about 3-4 a week from family members including yours every week that I love. For my support....I dont know of anything else that you arent doing already to help me out.
So yes I did have a form of the flu and I was really sore throughout my body too. I was sick from Tuesday to half of Friday and then I was fully recovered Saturday morning! My comp didnt really helped as much as he shouldve and just slept all the time, the Coles got me the usual sprite, chickn noodle soup, and crackers for me which was really nice of them! Elder Olson put a hot shirt on my head but that was about it haha. How are the little boys doing, I miss their smiling faces! I keep praying for ya mom and Love you so much!!
Dad: Did you mean why is Childers in a green suit? Its every week 6 district meeting that you dress up funny haha?? Hey Dad how are you doing with school coming up? I like to hear your getting prepared for Fantasy i want you or Chad to win all for me :) I like your analogy with playing sports just for fun when you get older to create good memories...and I know my mission will be a experience of a lifetime as I continue working hard and being motivated by all you guys to do it! I cant believe you are running that much thats ridiuculous!! We are not biking as much and probably do about 12-15 miles a day thanks to the BUS PASSES they give us. O and the cool thing I wanted to show was in Matt 1:17 about the 14 generations and its like that in the BOM as well and I wrote it down but Ill explain more in detail later. Theres 14 generations from the time of Lehi to the time of Christ coming to the Americas! And 3 Nephi 15 is a great chapter for relating the BOM and the Bible! Im really proud of you both in your WML calling and I try to brag about you guys every once in awhile too
Im all good from being sick and the shin splints are pretty much gone thanks to you! I had a awsome Pday yesterday and found my DREAM STORE called Pro-Image youll have to check it out too they had some sweet Raiders stuff! I was talking with the owner and explaining why I was in Albuquerque and where I was from, so he was nice and gave me a awsome discount with some shirts that I bought!! I got a Bucs and Colts shirt that are really cool!
Back to working is great too...we have found this trailer park that is MOOLAH for missionary work and a whole street in there has provided great investigators for us! We have a sweet one named Ben who is a older guy and has a great mindset on life! Be obedeint to God and all his commandments and help others whenever we get the chance. I like him and we set a bap dat with for the 20th of this month. I wanted to have Steadman actually PEFORM his 1st baptisim before he left but Ben has a little smoking problem. The other poeple are named Camillio, this guy totally reminds me of Carson for some reason, and Lisa whos name of course reminds me of MOM haha. Some of our investgiators moved out, George and Edna, but Im kinda glad cuz they were super lazy and now we can focus on Georges mom alot more cuz she is the only one there at the home now. Its kinda funny cuz the "promissing investigators" that other missionaries left for us have either been dropped or moved out haha funny i guess how this area is a little slow. O had a weird incident with a drunk lady saying how are church just takes money from people and our Bishop kicked her out for no reason, ya sure? She said we didnt believe in God too and said that was abbsolutley not true and just tried to be calm and respond to her objections but she didnt listen and just drove off? I also gave a good scripture message to this family and Elder Olson said hes seeing me growing as a missionary...Im starting to really enjoy missionary work and I hope I can step it up in all the aspects of it like teaching, work ethic blah blah blah.
I would really love to bear my tesimony to you all on how much I know that is the only true church here on the Earth today. I testify that the BOM is true, the prophet Joseph Smith is a true prophet of God because of the BOM. Im grateful for the the Holy Ghost and for him giving an answer to my prayers and let me know for sure that I made the right chioce to come out here on a mission. I know that familes can be together forever and I am so grateful that my Heavenly Father put me with such a great one. I bear you this testimony in the name of Jesus Christ Amen.
Love your missionary,
Elder Davis
