Onion's cookies

Hello. That is wonderful to hear that I've been blessed in my true title of Onion.  Leah sent a letter, and talked about visiting with grandparents.  We met a 91 year old this week who was very lonely.  It was nice for us, because we didn't have any set appointments, and we could just listen to him talk about his family and his wife who passed away 3 years ago.  Papa J as he is called has a lot of family, but they don't visit much.  I can't imagine that it is very easy for him to be all by himself.

 

I'm glad all the postcards got through the mail.  Sadly I never got the rest of Nina's post cards, even when she numbered them.  I remember Bro. B's water cutting, because Bro.S was trying to help me schedule a tour before I left for school, and we never did it.  I'm sure the young men have since gone.  Speaking of young men I've heard that there aren't very many youth left in the ward that I know.  Emily and Bliss already graduated?  That is amazing, I thought they were still in high school. Time does softly sweetly glide when there's love at home.  That has been the greatest blessing I have learned and received as a missionary.  How to Love.

 

This past Saturday we had a baptism for a 8 year old, we thought was a 9 year old.  On Friday we had cooked some 6 dozen cookies to give to families that we were thinking of.  Instead we took them to the baptism.  All the members were really impressed when they knew that we made them ourselves.  They were even really good (not healthy).  That evening we went to the Relief Society President's.  I've been there twice before, but there was something different about this time.  I can't tell you exactly what it was, but as we asked her for help on a Missionary bulletin board, she opened up.  We were given some material that made a great back drop for the board.  While she was getting the material her husband came out and talked to us for a good 10 minutes.  Then we left with a prayer.  It was so amazing to actually feel the love that came across from him. 

 

That has really been our week along with the usual ups and downs.  Bro.W took us out to lunch on Friday which was a treat.

 

Hope all is well for everyone.

 

Love,

Elder Davidson
