HI! this will be fast..
Random stuff of the week...
We got a referral from the media referral thing and we went to visit him and the wife answered and said that he isn't interested but......... we insisted to see him (yeah weird... i was being like pushy.. how annoying) he has stage 4 cancer and is a double leg amputee. Both of his legs were shot off by 45 mill. He was really cool! He said he wasn't interested but we talked to him for about an hour and a half and by the end he said "You know what, I wasn't interested at first about what you girls have to share with me but now i am!" we gave him a book of Mormon and a plan of salvation pamphlet. We bore our testimonies and we plan on following up with him this week! oh my word tho.. i was so.... i don't know i want him to have the gospel SO BAD! I want him to accept the gospel SO BAD! I want him to have the blessings!!! AHHAHHAHAHH!!!!! Sister Gardner had a dream that he called us and said he wanted to get baptized ha ha I really hope that happens! OH! so we left him with a prayer before we left and of course the phone rings while i am praying and....... the person leaving the message started yelling and swearing and i was just like "uh... please bless... uh... uh..." MAN!!!! oh well.. oh yea! he was in sports illustrated and inducted in the hall of fame! he had so man trophies and stuff. he did wheel chair bowling. ok next story.
ha ha ok funny story... we ran into these 2 young men... they were attractive and we started talking to them.. i was getting all flustered it was ridiculous... we wrote down our number and the address to the church and then i went to hand him my planner and then i realized it was my planner...... oh my... im an awkward sister missionary...............
This week has also been a good week for member missionary work! Our ward and branch is awesome! I have said this several times already but... i can't believe how missionary focussed both of these wards are! For the past 5ish maybe even more weeks there has been either talks on member missionary work or classes! I love seeing members wanting to get involved and getting excited about hastening the work of salvation!
The cutest dog ever!!!! His name is Max.
Oh man I sweriously LOVE LOVE LOVE him! I want to steal him.
On Thursday we gave a ride to a recent convert to the family history center. We recieved a refferal from one of the workers! We called her a few minutes after that and invited her to come to church! On Sunday we got a call from one of our members telling us that Melinda (the referral) just texted her and said "see you at church today" She was so excited and so were we! So we met Melinda and church and whisperd to members to go talk to her and make her feel welcome ha ha and they totally did! She was surrounded by women in the ward! She was smiling and seemed to really feel loved! After running back and forth from YSA branch coucil and classes we told her that we would love to teach her about Joseph Smith sometime and she agreed! 3 hour class was starting so we didn't get to set up a time to go visit her... whoops.. BUT! That night we got a phone call from a different member who we had previously set up an appointment with "she said hey we are going to have to change up the lesson on Thursday because I invited Melinda to come over". PERFECT. We have awesome member missionaries in our ward!
One more story. We decided to try out the weekly planning out in public thing. Last week we did it and had one oportunity to talk to a stranger who sat kind of close to us, but unfortunately we didn't talk to him. I don't know why. This week though, we were determined that if we had an opportunity we wouldn't let it go by. We did weekly planning in the park and there was a man listening to music and doing Yoga. We yelled to him "looks like your having fun" He then walked over to us and sat down. We started talking to him about yoga, then he asked us what we were doing out here. We talked to him about the Book of Mormon and the Bible and the restored gospel and a few other things! It was so fun! I LOVE introducing people to the gospel! We gave him a Bible and a Book of Mormon. We read a little bit and invited him to come to church and left. On Sunday he came to church and brought a friend! He felt a little overwhelmed by the first hour so they went home after that, but he wants to learn more. We are planning on giving him a church tour this week!
This is one of my lunches :) I try to be healthy.
CONFERENCE IS THIS WEEKEND!!!!! we are so blessed to have a living prophet of God on earth today! We have the oportunity to hear from him and his apostles on Saturday and Sunday! We need to be prepaid though! Something our Mission president always says is "puny preportation = puny revolation" in Alma 43:19 it talks about how Moroni prepared the Nephites for war! They were prepared with breast plates and with arm shields and shields to defend their heads! We can prepare ourselves by reading our scriptures and praying and great pondering! When we go into conference this weekend lets go in with a question! I promise that if you ponder and pray before conference and have question going into it you will recieve an answer at conference! Ok I have to go! I love you all! have a wonderful week!
Love,
Sister Kersey Davis
