seven eleven letter

The 4th report

We spent P-day last monday enjoying a nice afternoon of shopping in Walmart and watching explosions.  I've discovered that I have a fear of the walmart super stores.  If you're looking for another way to see eternity besides looking into two mirrors facing each other just look down an isle in Walmart.

 

It's very frustrating the most exciting things happen right after I email home.  On tuesday night there was quite a big sandstorm, which was rather exciting.  Elder Berardi and I got our hankies out and put them on like we were bandits.  The next day every car was covered in dust from the storm.  The good news is it rained the past two evenings which cleaned everything off.  Some of the coolest lighting and thunder was around 4 in the morning.

 

The miracle of the week:

 

Elder Berardi was at leadership meetings every morning this past week, so I got to be in a vehicle with Elder Hannesson who is an amazing missionary.  He really pushed me to the limit in performance. He would see someone on the street and basically push me out of the car with a Book of Mormon to teach who ever was there.  He taught me a lot because I had a lot of good experiences.  One of which was really special.  Elder Hanneson and I were parked on the side of the road and I saw two young men walking towards us.  I got out of the car and went to go talk to them.  One of the boys T. was very interested in having us come and teach his parents.  Well we set an appointment and showed up the next day.  I can tell you it was definitely the Lord putting me in the right place at the right time.  At the appointment we were introduced to a man and his wife B. and T.  He was an active member of the church, but hadn't been for several years.  He related to us an experience he had that week of going to the visitors center at the temple, and wanted a copy of the Book of Mormon so that he could read it again.  That same evening was when I ran into his son.  I can tell you that was a modern day miracle.

 

Also we have another baptismal date for an older woman who is just progressing so well.  The members have truly been the greatest blessing to us in the work.

 

In other news my ankle is finally out of the brace.  I just have to wear it when I play sports.  It was getting rather annoying because I had to wear to different shoes which earned me the nick name two shoes, from one of our investigators.

 

So a common question is do we get a car in the summer.  Sadly the answer to that is no.  All through the summer we are to continue doing work on our bikes which can be very difficult.

 

About the guitar I've had for a while, I've been trying to learn how to play some hymns so that I can play at fireside.  It's pretty fun, because it's something I've never done before.

 

I don't think there's much more for me to say.  I'm doing some sound recording today with Elder Berardi, which I'm really excited about.

 

By the way, never put off Companionship inventories, it just gets more painful when you wait.

 

Thank you everyone for all the letters, messages, and well wishes.  They truly do keep a missionary going from day to day.Thank you.

 

As always I love you and truly miss you all.

 

Love

Elder Davidson
