ok i really don't want to type this all out again...... what if i do and then i find it!?!? that would be annoying..  this will be short.

The Elders moved into our apartment. We had a 45 minute heads up that we were moving.. we had no idea! now we live in a really nice apartment with all new appliances and everything! I feel so spoiled! (blessed) the water heater is broken so we have been taking FREEZING ICE COLD showers in the mornings ha ha it's funny. I am just grateful we have a shower. Cold or warm.

A less active member yelled at me over the phone a few days ago. Good thing i was in a good mood or i would have started crying! she called me a lier ha ha it was so ridiculous it was funny. Some people are very interesting.

We visited a less active and broke her cigarettes and threw them away! I love her so much, i want her to get to the temple! the story was so much better the first time i typed it up... sorry...

We met a less active family. She is actually ex communicated and her husband is not a member! But they agreed to let us teach them! we are going to get them baptize and too the temple! WE are teaching them tonight =D i'm so excited! I love them so much i don't know how cause i barely know them!

We ate dinner at the Madsens yesterday, they invited a non member family so that was AWESOME member missionary work. We taught them all the restoration after dinner and man it was really intimidating! Brother Madsen is the 2 assistant to our mission pres and their return missionary daughter was there and there was 4 non members! my heart was pounding! But, it was fun. I like teaching about the restoration and book of Mormon =) Nothing HUGE happened like them wanting to get baptized or anything but... hopefully something someday will happen!

I love the Gospel. I LOVE my savior and i am so excited for Christmas! I don't remember the last time i was this excited about christmas. . i have always wanted to serve others on christmas but i have never really done it... because i didn't know how... or who.. (dumb excuse) BUT this christmas sister Gardner and i are making Cookies and writting letters and caroling to all of our investigators, some less actives and other Lonely people! I hope we Will be able to uplift spirits!

My new favorite hair do!! I do this almost erry day.

being a missionary is CRAZY!  To any of you who have or will serve a mission.....

" That blessing has come to each one of you because of your faithfulness in the pre-earth life and in this life. You have shown faith greater than you even know as you defended your Savior in the grand councils in heaven. You were valiant in your testimony there. Now you get to do likewise here. What a great blessing!" -President Van Cott (isn't he cool!!)

I love you all. Thank you for all the support i recieve! I know this is Christ Church. I know that if and only IF we follow his gospel we can recieve eternal life. Our Heavenly father wants all of his children to partake of this good news! Anyone can be a mormon. Everyone is entitled to these blessings. there is a paragraph i really like in the book "true to the faith" it says…

"As a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day

Saints, you can receive blessings that were absent from the

earth for almost 2,000 years. Through the ordinances of baptism and confirmation, you can receive the remission of your sins and enjoy the constant companionship of the Holy

Ghost. You can live the gospel in its fulness and simplicity.

You can gain an understanding of the nature of the Godhead,

the Atonement of Jesus Christ, the purpose of life on earth,

and the reality of life after death. You have the privilege of

being guided by living prophets, who teach God’s will in our

day. Temple ordinances enable you to receive guidance and

peace, prepare for eternal life, be sealed to your family for

eternity, and provide saving ordinances for your deceased

ancestors." (thank you copy and paste)

We have what they need! Don't be afraid to share it.

Have a Merry Christmas! Do something for someone else!

Love,

Sister Kersey Davis

What if your trials in this life are your mercies in disguise?
