Week 30

Hi all =D My new companions name is Sister Rogers, she is 20 years old and from Sandy, Utah (of course....) she is TINY and people thinks she is my child ha ha. Training is always an adventure and every person is different (obviously..) and the first few days I was freaking out (in my mind) so I asked the Elders for a priesthood blessing after out church tour and I received so much comfort. I know that the priesthood has been restored and that it's God authority to help move forward the salvation of man! (and woman). I am so grateful that i grew up surrounded by the priesthood of God!

This is a RAD rocky thing made out of trampoline! I am going to have my future husband make me one =)

So one of the MANY reasons i was so happy that i stayed in Yucca Valley was because we have been planning a potluck/church tour for the past 6 weeks and it finally went down on Friday! around 50 people showed up! we had 4 non members there and 2 less actives who i was SOOO HAPPY to see there. Betty is amazing and invited two of her non member friends to come. We are now going to start teaching them =) SEE that's all you've gotta do! invite your non member friends and the missionaries will take care of the rest! invite, invite, INVITE! Anyway.. we ate food and watched the 20 minute version of the Joseph smith prophet of the restoration. Then we did the church tour, it was fun! there were definitely some disappointments... people that said they would come but didn't... it's ok though! everyone has their AGENCY!

Keep Betty in your prayers her Father passed away this week. It broke my heart. I love her so much, my heart hurts for her..... I feel so bad for her. Horrible things are happening, but she never fails to amaze me. She is so positive. She came to the pot luck and even invited her two friends who are struggling. She came to church and participated in every class! she has her moments of weakness but quickly recovers. I want to be like her someday. I know that she will see her dad again. I know that he will accept the gospel in the spirit world, he was the kindest 95 year old i have ever met and he was a righteous, sincere follower of God.

WE did a service project and cleaned up a members back yard. She is a legit hoarder... like for real.... it was the messiest back yard i have EVERY seen... the most ridiculous things were back there like; ice cream machine, juk box, flinstones car, broken weight lifting machine, punching bag, army tent, hay bells a rotten mattress and a cute dog named rock!

We had a lesson half in Spanish and half in English....... it was pretty crazy.... while Brother Pinela spoke spoke Spanish forever i taught their 13 year old daughter about temples and how you can be married to your best friend for ever! not just for time. She thought it was pretty cool ha ha. They are such and awesome family! they didn't show up to church though... which made me sad and they cancelled their appointment because of sickness... they are so fun and totally Mormons at heart!

We taught the people who have a dog named Dallas and it went well! They said we could come back! =D We are going to try to get Kym to come to the singles branch.

Well that's what has been going on this week! we have been really busy! lots of people to teach. I love this gospel more than anything, it's the only stable thing i have in my life. I know that as i continue to serve others and be obedient to Gods commandments this area and my family and my future family will be blessed. Remember to read the scriptures and say your prayers!

Love,

Sister Kersey Davis
