Harry Potter attack

Gryfindor wins!

 

No I haven't gone completely of my rocker, and there hasn't been a large group of missionaries watch all the Harry Potter movies.  Today we are going to be playing Quiditch!  I've been chosen as a seeker, and I have to chase my District leader Elder Landsaw (He'll be wearing bright Gold clothes).  Up dates I guess will be next week.

 

Another week and Arizona weather is nothing to get excited about.  In the day time it still gets too hot, and in the evening it gets really cold.  We've been told that it's not normal for the weather to be like this.

 

So Saturday was a very rewarding day.  We didn't have a single lesson hold.  Every single one of the people we're teaching canceled.  On further investigation it didn't take long to see that my companion and I needed to help one another.  As we offered guidance and help to one another, there has been a complete transformation in both of us.  It took me a long time to see that if I want to help my companion, I have to love him first.  To that end it seemed appropriate to make a face in a potato and leave it on his desk.  We are not perfect as we work together, even when we've been together for so long.  This week I can say that we are trying our best.  To that end I am grateful.  It has helped me to read in "Preach my Gospel" and the scriptures about repentance.  Everything I thought was hard to do last week has become acheivable.

 

In this coming week there will be a woman getting baptized, who is beyond prepared.  Her dining table has more study material than my desk does at home.  More than that she has a true desire to make her life better.  It is always refreshing to see others observe the blessings that come by keeping the commandments.  That leads to another awesome story.

 

While biking down the street several days ago we talked to a woman who was totally not interested.  As we turned around and started biking a fellow going the other way stopped us.  In a very greasy T-shirt and rough jeans he asked, "what are you selling?"  I quickly responded, "the good news".  At first it seemed like he was just giving us a hard time (many people do).  Then he started asking questions.  As we explained to him that we believe in everything that Jesus Christ taught and that it is on the Earth today, he asked where church was.  This past Sunday he came!  He had never heard of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, or Mormons.  I invited him to ask any questions and to pay attention to what he felt.  By the end of the three hour block, he invited us back and wants to be baptized into the Church.  It is such a miracle when other people can actually see that we represent Jesus Christ and his church. 

 

I hope everyone has a wonderful week.

 

Love,

Elder Davidson
