What happens when your Zone Leaders ask you to fill 300 water balloons for an activity. Well you'll find yourself sitting in the bath tub with a hose coming in through the window, while rain wind and crazy thunder and lightning are going on outside. This is how I spent yesterday evening. It was actually quite amazing to watch all the lightning in the distance. The only annoying part about weather like this is no longer is it just a dry heat in Arizona. This morning our Zone did play water-balloon volleyball and had a fight which was pretty fun.
Some updates for the week. Elder Berardi and I have several baptisms this weekend which we are very much looking forward too. Three woman will be getting baptized on Saturday, which is very exciting.
We had one of the most amazing miracles this past week with someone we talked to in one of our neighborhoods. We have been challenged by our President Ellsworth to find 3 new people to teach every week. In an effort to do this we have been very diligent in talking to everyone that we meet on our way to appointments. At one home there was a younger gentleman who I pulled up to and started talking. I told him simply "We are representatives of Jesus Christ and we want to tell you that you and your family can be together for ever". He was very welcoming which isn't always the case. He brought us into his home and introduced us to his family. We quickly discovered that he was the only one in his family that could speak English. After teaching him a little bit about the Gospel he related to us that he had just finished praying for Heavenly Father to show him something, and sure enough right as he finished praying we came around the corner. The lord really does put us in the right place at the right time.
By the way to the Young Women from Somerset Ward. Thank you so much for the letters they were very entertaining.
That's really the news from Mesa Arizona. The mission work is hard, but with every person we talk to we are changing their lives in small ways.
I love you all
Love Elder Davidson
We finally conquered the ants in our house, by vacuuming them up as they come out of the floor.
