Mailmen

Hello,

 

This week was full of interesting situations.

 

We discovered the mail box for the Church building on Friday.  That might sound wierd, but no one has checked it for months.  There were over 100 letters overflowing out the box.  My companion and I took it upon ourselves to empty the box.  Which involved using the skinniest arms (my own) to empty an old mail box that keeps getting mail.

 

On top of that we had a ward 4th of July breakfast.  It was really a great day.  Especially beacuse the day was nice and rainy.  In fact Bro.T one of the member in the ward, was outside cooking bacon on a propane stove in a cast iron pan.  In one hand he had a spatula turning the bacon, and in the other hand he held an umbrella.  I had a good oppurtunity to fix the curtains for the skit that was performed.  In addition I put a disco ball up, because they wanted it to look more like a party.

 

We had an amazing miracle this past week end.  The past three weeks, we have not had anyone come to church.  This Sunday was no different, until an investigator came to Sunday school.  We stopped teaching him on Friday, because he wouldn't stop smoking.  On Sunday he came to church, and told us that he hadn't smoked in over two days.  I hope that he'll be able to keep going and not smoke.  It is a pretty incredible thing for him to keep working on.

 

That really is the news.

 

Yesterday we had dinner at the Bishop's house.  His daughter played Claire de Lune for us and he was trying to get his son to play for us as well.  Then Bishop Bruce stood up, and said "watch me play".  He picked up a controller and pushed play.  It was a player piano.  We got a good laugh over that. 

 

I hope that the weather is treating everyone ok.  We have had a number of days over 110.  Yipee.

 

Love,

Elder Will Davidson
