New ties, old ties and jerry garcia ties

We had a wonderful baptism this weekend for two individuals.  A mother and daughter.  There was a wonderful turnout for the service, and we had a nice reception at a members home following.  It was Elder Smellie's last baptism.

I hope I can be like Elder Smellie, he is a really good missionary and 100% focused even now.  It will be really sad to see him go.

So the news with transfers is pretty simple.  I will be going to the Maricopa zone, and serving with Elder Martin.

A little news regarding one of our investigators.  He is a middle aged guy, and he moved down to Arizona so he could rescue his 20 year-old daughter.  Needless to say she hasn't been very interested in learning more about the gospel.  The dad on the other hand has progressed so much.  He started reading the scriptures on his own and applying them to his life and how he can help his daughter.  He also has been praying to find a job.  Through the ward employment specialist he was able to find a good job and he started on Thursday.  The other night we asked him to say a closing prayer and he looked right at me.  All I did is give a thumbs up and say "you got this".  I hadn't said much the whole lesson, but apparently it was what he needed to hear, because he said an amazing prayer.

In very fun news Elder Smellie gave me a Jerry Garcia tie and I really like it.  It's name is 'snake garden' and it is purple.

Well that's about all the news, until next week,

Love Elder Will Davidson
