Good teaching moments

Hello from the Mesa North Stake.

I cover a lovely little area spanning from Main to Brown and Stapley to Horne.  Already I have met so many people that are related to others that I have met and love.  It has made the transition quite enjoyable as I've met good friends.  There are three wards in the area Miller, Fraser, and Fairfield.  All are great areas and have a lot of potential.  The bishop of one of the wards happens to be over temple Maintenance, which is interesting, because I've seen him all over the place, and he has seen me as well.  In one of the wards we have a wonderful ward mission leader that I've gotten to know pretty quickly.  He is a great leader.  In his ward there is a lady who has been taught for several months.  She was scheduled to be baptized the week I got here, but then she felt like she needed more time to prepare.  I'm excited to teach her and help her to be prepared.

My new companion is Elder Martin from a little town south of Provo Utah.  He comes from a small family of three.  We have really hit it off, and get along really well.  Already we have seen so many miracles in the small space of three days.  One is really cool.

We went to contact a young woman in the ward who hadn't been able to come to church for a while.  We had a lesson with her and read the Book of Mormon.  During the lesson we were able to help her understand what the book of Mormon is and how it can help her.  Then she asked how to repent.  It was such an awesome lesson, because she was so sincere, and focused on learning more.  What made it even better is that her boyfriend came to a lesson later that night.  He is super spiritual and has read the bible cover to cover.  He was struggling with prayer, and found it difficult.  Elder Martin was able to make a huge impact as he explained how we can pray and receive answer.  Elder Martin is easily the best teacher I"ve ever taught with.  He is humble, focused, and uses simple language.

We are super excited and hope to help a lot of people.

Love you all,
Elder Davidson
