Week 51

Zeke from Paraguay, he is the sweetest =) he always runs up and hugs me and smiles so BIG! he told me my hair was pretty yesterday at church =) he makes me feel loved! 

This week Sister Buswell and I have been working really hard on trying to find people who want to learn about the gospel. We had 15 appointments fall through... BUT we continued with faith =) TONS of little miracles have been happening. We have been trying to focus on the tender Mercies God has granted us everyday. 

We were in the park making phone calls and.......
I lay my arm in some bird poop ha ha. yum. 

This week we had interviews with our mission president. Usually in interviews i never bring up concerns or anything, i try to figure those out myself if i can because i know how busy he is and how many complaints and stupid stuff from baby missionaries he gets... BUT i just had to tell him that i was getting "trunky" to see what advice he would give me... surprisingly he said "I could care less about missionary work, what i care about is who are you becoming, who you will be 10 years from now, what your family will be like, i want you to be thinking about how you will continue to be valiant after your mission and how you will continue to be a missionary throughout your whole life"  WOW... i was like, Ok, got it. My mission is like the MTC for the rest of my life. I am here preparing for the rest of my life and i'm helping others along the way. 

Ok i know my face looks way stupid in this picture...... please ignore that....
but look how small these toilets are!!! ha ha they are fun! 

I will tell you all of one of the miracles that happened this week. Sister Buswell and I had planned to go See this woman named Josey who lives by the church. As we were driving we felt like we should park clear down the street from where she lived.... as we were walking we see this house being painted by a Hispanic couple. we say "HI WE ARE YOUR NEW MISSIONARIES!" (we say that to everyone =) hehehhe) the woman rushes over and says hello and is really friendly to us! we find out that they are from Anaheim and that her sister is actually meeting with the mormon missionaries =D we tell her about what we do and introduce her to the Book of Mormon. She was excited to read it! we gave her our number and hoped for the best =) 
we continued walking and Josey wasn't home.... So we walk back to our car and on the way back we run into this young lady with a huge dog, we start talking to her and ask her if she would like to learn more about the church and she says "YES"! we are meeting with her tomorrow morning and i am so excited! God placed them in our paths because we followed a prompting. We wouldn't have EVER met either of them if we would have ignored it. 

I love this Gospel and i will NEVER leave it =) Christ is my strength!

Love,
Sister Kersey Davis
