First off I
want to let y’all know that I am wearing pants and it is AWESOME! It feels
really good… I haven’t worn pants for 8 weeks so this is just EXCITING! Ha ha
that sounded way nerdy/dumb/foolish... anyway! This week has been slow and tough…
but I know it will get better =) Ha ha last Monday Sister Mickelson and I got
lost up in Flamingo Valley it was dark and the GPS was leading us to dirt
roads and really rough terrain. We were bouncing around everywhere. It was scary. Finally we were like uh… we should probably turn around because there was a
drop off and we didn’t want to die. There wasn’t enough room to turn
around so we tried to drive in reverse and… it was dark so I didn’t get out and
that was a bad idea... Because we drove into a bunch of bushes and yeah it was
bad so I finally got out at we finally found an asphalt road so we followed
that and found our way back to Yucca, then all the Singles made fun of us and
laughed at us.
Me, Sister Gonzalez, Sister Davidson, and Sister Mickelson. We all live together. =)
I met a gal at FHE that night; she isn’t a member but her and her brother always hang out with members in the branch . She was really sweet and I talked to her and asked her about herself and we were laughing and things were going good and I asked her if she knew anything about what Mormons believed and stuff and she said no and I was like SWEET guess what I do twenty 24/7!?!?! Teach people about what we believe!!! And I asked her if she would like us to come over to her house sometime and teach her and she said YES! And inside I was like “YEA!AAAAAWEEAAAH!! she’s going to pray! And she’s going to love it! And she’s going to get baptized!! YEAH!” but on the outside I was like sweet.. don’t worry.. we won’t be all pushy or anything… we can just answer your questions and get to know you a little better… I tried to set up a time that we could come over but she didn’t know her schedule, so we couldn’t. I got her number and we texted her a couple days after and… she didn’t text back. Ha ha I was sooo bummed. She got me all excited… I guess we will have to take it slower with her… Ugh… bush beating…You all know how I feel about beating around the bush...
Cheesin' it
BEFORE I FORGET! The Gospels Principles book is AWESOME and sooo easy to understand. Kenzy and Jose you should get one. Just ask your bishop or your… someone. Just ask someone in your church and they will give you one. Jose should have one because he is a recent convert… but yeah. READ IT! It’s sooo good! I taught the gospel principles class this week. It was interesting… I didn’t have very much time to prepare so it was kind of scary… but it was about Charity. We had 4 people in the class 3 of them were members. Ha ha only one of them was an investigator so hopefully she learned something from us 4 members! I’ve been praying to have the pure love of Christ and for the ability to love and serve others for quite some time now so learning about charity was really good for me. The Savior was the perfect example of Charity. Everything he did was for the welfare of someone else. Before he healed the dead he would mourn with those who are mourning… isn’t that amazing?! He cried… he actually cried! I want to have that much charity and concern for my brothers and sisters here on earth… GO OUT AND LOVE! Everyone is a son or daughter of God, look at others through the eyes of Christ. Not one person out there doesn’t have eternal potential. You can help them =)
ANYWAY! Sooo you know my old grandma shirt? The one I am wearing in the snake photos? Well last Monday I was wearing it and when we were in Walmart, 2 old ladies told me they liked my shirt! HA HA! It was so funny. I guess it really is an grandma shirt…. I like old grandma style!
So there is this lady that talks about 2 kinds of conversions…. Her name is Dianna Hullsher… look her up! I think you can listen to her on YouTube. Satan tried to temp me not to listen to her because of her voice… for some reason it bugged me ha ha. The first time I put her CD in I was like NOPE! Not listening to this! I turned it off. Then a few days later we decided to listen to it while we did our hair and it was AMAZING! SO LISTEN TO IT! She has some amazing ways about how to share the gospel as a family and as an individual. I’m sorry if I’m not making sense I’m trying to type really fast so I can talk about everything! Look her up! Dianna Hullsher “2 kinds of conversion” or maybe its called something else… but listen to it! And don’t let Satan tell you her voice is annoying!
This is our Jeep Compass. Yes it is raining in the dessert! Hallelujah! It's probably going to flood actually... Yay! We are hoping to see a flash flood. P.S. the after rain smell here is NOT good... It is WEIRD!
There was this guy at Big-O tires that started talking to us while we were waiting for our tires to get fixed and he was just trying to bash and he was being quite rude. Ha ha and all sister Mickelson and I did was smiled and smiled some more and answered his questions and then listen to him tell us what Mormons believe and smiled some more. I could tell he was getting so frustrated that we weren’t fighting with him. It was fun.
This is our awkward face. We both make a lot of awkward faces while talking on the phone. Ha ha it's fun.
We met a Spanish lady who knew little English so I told her I knew 2 sentences in Spanish and I asked her what her favorite sport was in Spanish… then she went off in Spanish saying something…. I think she said she doesn't play sports anymore she is too old. Ha ha I should have probably went with the other sentence I know in Spanish which is “ I know that Jesus Christ is my Savior” that one probably would have been a little more missionary appropriate… we will see her again though!
I cleaned out my purse last night... I'm still addicted... I teach people not to have addictions all the time. I should probably try to practice what I preach...
A few nights ago we went to dinner at Applebee’s with a member and her grandson. Music was playing and it was Hunter Hays: Wanted. I was just SOOOOOOOO happy hearing that song =) Oh man... it was the best! I miss my country music… ha ha anyway Kaden (that’s the little boys name) is soooo cute! He has one blue eye and a brown eye its so cool. He is really funny and energetic and loves to dance he is going to a Christian school here in Yucca and he is the only Mormon in his school. They had to have like a school counsel meeting to decided whether they wanted to let a Mormon into their school. Ha ha weird... but his grandma is awesome and told the principal what we believe and he was like oh.. ok I guess y’all don’t believe that much different than we do... we are planning on teaching Kaden the lessons before he gets baptized in march =)
A rancid moth that almost killed me! Ewwww look how hairy it is! Ahhh I'm grossing myself out!
Working with people who have so little and who are going through so much breaks my heart….. one of our investigators went to San Diego to be with family because he is having a really hard time here in Yucca. He sent us like 10 text messages explaining why and that he is sorry and stuff and it breaks my heart to know that he is struggling so much……. Ah……. I WANT TO HELP HIM! I’ve said this 1,000 times but it makes me realize that I am SO BLESSED! And have been sooo blessed throughout my life… I love this gospel! My comp is also struggling. I don’t know what to do. It’s hard. We are a companionship… hint hint… we are both struggling. Words of encouragement would be nice =) we received a priesthood blessing on Saturday night I’m so grateful for the elders and their willingness to use their priesthood. Sunday went really great =D we met a potential investigator and followed up with some families that we invited to do the “family mission plan” they are finding people who they can invite to activities and stuff =) ah sorry I am scatter brained right now. I wish I could talk to my family right now. I miss you all! Love you all!
Love,
Sister Kersey Davis
PS: We ate banana ketchup spaghetti the other night… One of our ward mission leaders is Filipino so he cooks weird stuff all the time. It was SOO GOOD! Go get some banana ketchup!
PSS: I taught about sexual purity in the YSA branch relief society it was fun! Slash… that’s always a difficult subject to talk to young people about. But it went well and talking to the ladies in the ward relief society about how we “made it” through our young years (I'm still young aren’t I..…??) being sexually pure was interesting and kinda fun!
PSSS: watch this video! (about member missionary work)

EVERYONE has a pet snake out here!

It kept trying to slither into my shirt...
It got stuck in my necklace. This family is awesome! The Vikdal Family. Sister Wikdal went on a mission to Spain and Brother Vikdal is a convert. He always saw her missionary plaque in church and when she got back from her mission they went on dates and he thought her name was Hermana for a while. Ha ha ha!

Selfie! If you forgot what I look like. Yes I took a shower a few hours ago. I just look greasy all the time.
