HAPPY FATHERS DAY!!!! I will start out by saying that my fathers day started out kind of rough just because everyone is talking about their fathers and walking around everyone is with their family having fun... i was thinking "Great... this is going to be a bummer day" WRONG! it was so wonderful. We got invited to have dinner at the Diaz home, we ate dinner and after he asks us to bare our testimonies... i was thinking... "ok this is weird..." so sister Buswell and i bare our testimonies and the spirit was really strong, I said " ok, now we want to hear your testimonies" and the spirit continued to immerse the room. I'm so happy that we did that, it was definitely the strongest I have felt the spirit here in Fontana thus far.
Happy Father's Day!!!! I love my father with all my heart. =) I'm so grateful I have an earthly father who strives to be like Heavenly Father. (Left to Right: Kersey, Jack, Kirby)
Before dinner we had an appointment to teach a family we met last week. We show up and they weren't home....... BUT sister Buswell and i make sure that we plan back ups and back ups and more back ups... so that God can prepare the hearts of the people we will see that day. So after 2 appointments fall through we go to our back up "Billy and his wife Kathy" just a little back ground, we met them 2 weeks ago and just talked in their garage. Talked about faith and gave them our number. We found out Kathy's sister is a member! Last week we made a "family home evening" flyer so we go over to Billy and Kathys and knock and they answer! They were happy to see us!!!! We have casual convo and then we give them a flyer, they acted excited and interested. They say " hey my sister (the member) is coming over tonight, you guys should come!" soooooooo after dinner and seeing a few other ppl we stop by and they invite us into their home and we have dinner (our second dinner......=/.....) with them! I know that God is preparing Billy and Kathy for the restored gospel. Even when things don't go our way we need to have trust and faith in Gods plan. He has a more marvelous plan then we can even imagine. I know this to be true because i have experienced it first hand MANY times in my mission and in my life.
Sister Young and I have been out for 1 year?!?!?!?!?! WOW... It's gone by so fast!
I've seen so many miracles this week and not because God has been giving me more, but because he has opened my eyes to seeing the small miracles that happen each day. Sometimes i get caught up in the BIG miracles... and I forget the beautiful tender mercies that God gives me each and everyday.
I got a package this week from Denise Anderson Family =) Thank you so much for all the support and English food! It was a great suprise to come home to.
Something I learned this week is that I need to bear testimony more as I teach and meet people. I need to share how the gospel has blessed my life and how it has helped me to obtain true happiness. Yup. I know this gospel is true, it's the only thing that has given me hope and the strengths to continue on in this life. I wouldn't be here on my mission if it wasn't for Christ. I would have gone home. I know he is my savior and that I can be strengthened through him.
Love,
Sister Kersey Davis
