Duel with a car

Hello Mom and Family,

So I'll answer your questions first.

I"m not sure were the DS is.  It is probably in the white side table.
It will have the tri-force symbol on it, so ask Annie and Aaron what
that looks like.

We haven't moved yet.  We'll be
moving to the south east corner of Date and 6th St on the corner
house.  The room will be very small, but we're excited to go.

My wrist is very sore.  I was hit by a car last night, and took a
pretty big fall.  I guess I should say it more accurately.  I was hit
by a car, but the car was parked on the side of the road, and I just
didn't see it :).  This morning I started working on repairing all the
damage to the bike. I have grown quite attached to my noble steed.  It
is still going strong, and yesterday when I hit the car the front rim
got a little bent.  I almost felt some pain for it as I biked the rest
of the way home.  Our district leader is coming over to
help.

So Personal Highlight.
Elder L from Bountiful Utah.  For the past 12 weeks I have been
able to interact heavily with Elder L.  When we met was the day
that I sprained my ankle most recently.  Through the last couple
months he has built me up in ways that no one else could.  He is very
direct in correction and always willing to have a good time, yet
remain dignified and hard working.  I've gotten to go on exchanges
with him for two days and they both have been humbling and motivating.
 Sadly by the beginning of April Elder L will be returning home.
 He is one elder that I intend to keep in touch with.

This past Saturday we had a baptism.  He name is N and he is what
we would call a sweet spirit.  Over 8 missionaries have helped teach
him over the years.  So when he wanted to be baptized this past
Saturday we weren't sure if it was going to happen.  Needless to say
we had been praying for a baptism for the month of February, so we set
a date and began a long process of interviews and council with him and
the Mission President.  Ultimately he was approved to be baptized this
past week and because of Stake conference, was confirmed right after.
It was such a blessing to perform the ordinance of baptism.  I've
learned a lot this week about doing your best with what you got.

Elder C is really trying hard.  He has reached a point in his
mission, where we all had to make the realization, that it's not
always fun and exciting.  There are days where you just have to work,
work, work.  You can see as he changes his mind set from just doing
missionary things to actually being a missionary.  Not that his
actions have dramatically changed, but he puts more spirit into the
work.  I distinctly remember moments like that in my mission, when it
became a real ?decision? if I was doing this for my self, or if I was
doing it for the people around me.  Ultimately it's for the people
around me.  When that principle is internalized, everything becomes
easier and the purpose of why we are here is easier to see.

We have a new investigator who came to Stake Conference the other day,
and actually said that the messages were something he needed to hear.
It is always wonderful to see how the Lord orchestrates things to
bless all of us.


It is looking to be an exciting week as we continue to work.  Our
mission is still working on using Mormon.org.  To those at home in
Seattle keep it up.  We've been told that It has had a tremendous
impact on converts in that area.  Please keep making profiles and
telling your friends to check it out.

Love you all hope it'll be a good week for all,

Elder Davidson
