This is Nora. She is awesome! She is a recent convert. She got babtized in April. She is getting married soon as it's been her year mark! I am so excited for her! Temples are amazing! She has 2 dogs named Foxy and Rocky. They are adorable! I love love love them. I hugged Rocky a few days ago and it almost made me cry. Haha I am way too obsessed with dogs.
I was eating some pudding at a members house and with my front teeth i bit something..... crunchy-ish.. i was like "......uh... what what the" (in my head) then i took it off with my finger and it was some kind of worm/bug/maybe maggot!! I was repulsed for like 5 seconds then i told myself... "it's protein, your fine" "you will live" "eat whatever they give you" so yeah. It tasted gross. Ick.. but i'm still alive!
Alan is our ward mission leader for the YSA branch. He is really cool! He is a returned missionary and loves missionary work! His dog is named Muppet. :) He is going to BYU-I in December. We will be sad when he leaves.
I'm training Sister Gardner she 5'10 (yahoooo! i'm not the tallest anymore!) she is from Pleasant Grove, UT! She Graduated from Snow college. She is a hard worker, which i LOVE! She is pretty quiet and we are very different BUT! I love breaking people out of their shells so... it will happen! she is very brave and willing to try new things. Training isn't as scary as i thought it would! It's actually pretty fun. We both woke up Wednesday morning with a sore throat.. so we have been sick. We are just getting over it! Thank goodness!
Sister Gonzalez and Davidson scared Sister Mickelson and I with fake rubber spiders. They taped one to the ceiling above my bed and I screamed and Sister Mickelson almost had a heart attack. She can't see very well so she thought it was real. Haha it was quite funny.
Funny story.. we were at a members house and we were teaching them and our voices both sounded pretty bad but my voice was HORENDOUS!!! it sounded like i was plugging my nose to the max! I felt like such a fool trying to bear my testimony with a Squidward voice! oh man it was so embarrassing ha ha ha i have never had this bad of a cold in my life!! don't worry though it's almost gone =) i am now back to bearing my testimony in a Kersey voice i mean a sister Davis voice..
We taught an old man named George this week! he is really smart and has been to the salt lake temple grounds. He bought himself a Book of Mormon and has read it!!! We plan on teaching him the restoration on Tuesday =D YAHOO!! my favorite lesson!!
This is Bagira. I love him! He is the most cuddly cat! I'm planning on stealing him when I come home. JK but maybe...
I received a package in the mail this week from Pat! Thank you so much Pat =D it made my day! I got all teared up. I love the chocolate! The first thing i ate this morning was the caramel chocolate candy!
So we met a woman from Fiji her name is Ashabana. She is Indian (from India) I asked her if my name really was Indian and she said YES!!! COOL! Kersey really is an Indian name!!! I have an Indian name... how cool =) someone once told me that but they weren't Indian so i didn't really believe them.... but she is for real Indian so i believe her! She is Muslim and really kind. She invited us to one of her little dinner get together with her Christian friends. ha ha we probably won't go... but we will invite her to the relief society conference broadcast thing this weekend!!

We have such an awesome ward and branch. Both of them have so many members who are willing to do missionary work! In the Yucca Mesa ward we had an investigator who attended church for her first time and it was such a great experience for her because of the members! We got stopped several times by members introducing themselves to her and not just introducing themselves but having actual conversation with her! After relief society we just left her with a member because they were so into the conversation that they were having with each other. It made me SO happy!
In the Sunrise YSA branch we had a really inspiring branch conference. President Lotez and president Madsen both talked about member missionary work. President Lotez challenged the members to call a contact in their phone who is not a member and to ask them if they could stop by today to give them a gift “a Book of Mormon”. Jovina volunteered and left the congregation to make a phone call. She called two people!!! How brave! I was so proud of her. Then our ward mission leader and another member texted one of their non member friends and president Lotez gave those Books of Mormon to give as a gift. What an amazing gift to give someone! A gift that will influence their Salvation! They continued to train us how to talk to our friends about the gospel and how to invite them to church and other activities. They even role played! It was truly inspiring and got me WAY pumped! They made several more challenges and handed out more Books of Mormon.
We had 2 investigators who went to achievement days so we went with them and this is my water color painting. There is an amazing artist in our ward and she was kind enough to share her talent with the young women.
Last night we had dinner with a member couple and 3 of their non member friends. After we read from the Book of Mormon and discussed principles. When the members bore their testimonies the spirit was SO strong I couldn’t help but to add my own testimony. I get SOOO excited when I feel the spirit that strong. Having lessons with non members IN members home truly makes a difference. I love hearing testimonies of converts! I love the gospel! I love sharing it! Sometimes it is hard. Ok… a lot of the time it is hard BUT the times when I feel the spirit so strong and I see someone’s knowledge and testimony of our Heavenly Father and our Savior Jesus Christ grow, that’s when I forget about trials, that is when my own testimony grows and my love for my Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ grow.
Love,
Sister Kersey Davis
Let the Savior Lead you to.......
..... Happily ever after
