MTC P-Day

Hey family!!!
 

Sorry i haven't written or emailed back... today is my first P day =) (Thursday) sooooooo it's going great! I am really happy and my companion is AWESOME! Actually I have two companions now; Sister Heagy and Sister Lloyd. Sister Heagy is sooooo cool!!! I am so blessed to be assigned with such a weird person!! She is really funny and sweet, we have the same sense of humor. Thank goodness!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we like we have fun =) We talk in weird voices all the time. Ha ha mostly a lisp like Sid the sloth. Ha.

wow. 

I was doing my makeup using the mirror on my back of our door and sister Heagy was coming inside and opened the door and the door hit my toe and bent back my toe nail ha ha it was funny =D slash it hurt! but i acted like it didn't ha ha ummmmm those are the sisters in my district and... i don't remember the other ones...

I have a little clock in the top corner that is making me nervous!! it's on a count down. i have 18 minutes left! ok. ok. I am sleeping GREAT!!! and waking up at 6:30 is hard in the moment but i can make it through the day without being tired or falling asleep all the time. so that is awesome!!
 

Thank you so much for writing me everyone!! It makes me feel so happy and loved =) I really like hearing about your lives and what is going on. Ok would you like to hear about my new life here at the MTC?

Ok so the first day was pretty overwhelming but i got over it. the second day we met our teachers and watched a video of the investigator we would be teaching... the investigator explained how they heard about the Mormon church and their background and whatever and then after that we started planning and praying on what it was that they need in their life and what it is we should teach them... and i was FREAKING out because i was like.. uh.. i have no idea what i am doing!! and we teach him in like 1 hour! his eternal salvation is in MY hands and i have NO IDEA what i am going to do or say!!! i was thinking.. .why in the heck would they let new missionaries teach real investigators... after like 2 hours of frantically trying to come up with stuff to talk about and trying to gain as much knowledge i could. My Sister Heagy told me... he's not real... he is our teacher.. so yea. our investigator is our teacher. they are the same person. I was SO relieved and i felt like a fool because we watch a video and the whole time i was thinkin "Wow! My teacher and Dimitric look EXACTLY the same, CRAZY" but... yeah...

I have had amazing experiences here at the MTC teaching investigators, some people are actors and some people really are investigating the church. Sis Heagy, Sis Lloyd, and I had 2 amazing lessons yesterday, the spirit was sooooooooooo strong!! We talked to this college student about eternal families, I testified and told him about Dallas (my brother) and how i knew I was going to see him again. My heart was pounding through my shirt- it was amazing.

 

          Ok well i have 7 minutes left! I love and miss you all! But don't worry I'm doing great, and having so much fun!! Go look up my companions on Facebook. Hannah Heagy and Ali Lloyd they both went to USU. Sister Heagy actually lived in the LLC (where Steve lived) so yea we were probably in the same building all the time!! I leave June 25 at like 4:30 in the morning so I will probably call my mom at the air port at some time during that night...... UMMM family send me T-shirts PLEASE i have like 3 i don't know why i didn't bring more... my man vs mud one and soccer ones.

Umm... I've gained like 5 pounds!!!!!! the food is soooooooooo good i just can't stop myself from eating ha ha, but we do work out 5 times a week so that's really fun and sister Heagy and I love to dance even though you're not supposed to.. we make it look like we are just........ idk... ok umm 3 mins..... sister Heagy is from Farmington...

WATCH THE WORLD WIDE broadcast on SUNDAY!!!!

sorry about my spelling I'm trying to go fast.... 

I can't believe i am a missionary!! AW it is so awesome!! Ok i don't know what else to say. I love you and to all my friends who emailed me if i don't email you back. I will eventually =)

Love,
Sister Davis (what...)

MTC Drop Off

And ye shall go forth in the power of my Spirit, preaching my gospel, two by two, in my name, lifting up your voices as with the sound of a trump, declaring my word like unto angels of God.

Sister Kersey Davis!

Hello everyone! This is Kersey's sister, Kirby. I've been assigned the job of posting Sister Kersey's emails and pictures here on this blog. On Wednesday, as a family, we were able to wake up and have a delicious breakfast together before we drove 70 miles to Provo to drop Kersey off at the Missionary Training Center.

Before we dropped her off though, we were able to go and walk around the Provo temple grounds. There were a lot of pretty pink flowers and lots of excited missionaries-to-be walking around and taking pictures. Then we stopped at Ono Shaved Ice for some snowcones.

Kersey was so excited! We drove up to the bustling MTC and were all shocked at the vast number of young men and women with name tags around the place. When we pulled up to the drop-off curb, we were immediatly greeted by Kersey's escort, Hermana Moss, while some male missionaries quickly unloaded Kersey's large pile of luggage. Some quick hugs were given, lots of tears were shed, and then Kersey walked away with her fellow missionaries. It all happened so fast!

I'm not too sad or worried about my sister though, when I was looking around the MTC grounds I couldn't help but notice how completely and blissfully happy everyone there was. It was like every single one of those missionaries knew that they were having the best time of their lives. They knew that they were exactly where they were supposed to be. And I know that if Kersey doesn't already feel this way, that she will be feeling it very soon.

So here are some pictures from the day.

 Provo Temple Grounds

Just about to be dropped off.

"This is happening! It's really happening!"

Oh, and p.s. we asked some sister missionaries how many missionaries they expected to get this week and they told us that last week alone they had gotten 940 missionaries. 940! In one week! How AMAZING is that?!

*We've gotten our first letter from Sister Davis. She said that she was way nervous but right after she walked into the MTC and got her name tag she ran into Sister Bailey Lubeck. They hugged and cried for a while (until people started to stare) and after that she felt fine. Her companion is Sister Heagy from Farmington. Kersey leaves the MTC on June 24th.
