Week 72

This week i got a new companion. Her name is Sister Boyack, she is from Spanish Fork UT!! She has been out for 11 months. She came straight from Rialto! My first area. I am really enjoying teaching with her. She is very in tune with the spirit and loves to teach! I can tell she loves it because when we teach is the most i hear her talk! She is extremely quiet and shy =) i am a blabber mouth so I’m trying to get used to silence all the time.............. 
 

Me and my Best friend Betty! And my hideous bright pink watch.... Betty is getting her endowments this Thursday!!!! I have the blessing of going =D I’m sooooo excited!!! She is also moving to YorbaLinda this week!?!?!? what the world!?!??! she had been in Yucca Valley for 35 years. I guess God has something in store for her in YorbaLinda  

We had an awesome lesson last night with Danny and Dina. Dina has been taking the lessons for several months. She has a sister in Texas who is a pretty recent convert to the church. Dina really wanted to start going to church so she was praying and looking around... she talked to her sister and didn't think much of the LDS church... but then one day she sees a restoration pamphlet left on the desk at her job. She takes that as a sign and calls the missionaries. Danny her husband of almost 3 years poked fun at her taking lessons from the Mormons. (South park) and didn’t want anything to do with it!  But then about 4 weeks ago he decides to look into it as well. Now they are both working towards baptism on the 13th of December. Last night was about their 4th lesson together as a couple. We brought members and they totally made the lesson so much better than i would have been just sister Boyack and I. Members are powerful when they bear testimony and show love and true friendship to those who are learning about the gospel. Danny and Dina recently started praying together each night and they have both recognized a difference in their relationship. I'm so happy for them! They are adorable and funny am so grateful i get to teach them! Tomorrow we are teaching the word of wisdom =D 

 

We got transfer information this morning. Sister Kelly is getting transferred to the City Creek ward here in Fontana. I am staying for my last 5 weeks! Eek i'm a little nervous! 

 

This week we did a service project at the family service association center. The city of Redland and Mentone gathered together over 20 thousand pounds of food for families in need!!!! We helped sort all the food. 

In Jeremiah 1:5 is say's "before i formed thee in the belly i knew thee" I love this scripture not only does it help us to know where we came from but who we can become and the potential we have. Our Heavenly Father knows us. He knows that we are all learning as we go in this life. Weather we are moving forward or backward.... he LOVES us and knows we are learning. I love to think about the pre earth life and who i was with, what we were doing and what God was telling us we could become. We probably all talked together about all the amazing things we would do and experience as we followed Jesus Christ. I often think about and ask myself and i fulfilling the things i promised God and other in the pre earth life? Am I living my life in a way that those things will be fulfilled? I love this Gospel. I know Jesus Christ is at the head. I know that as we try our hardest to serve in his church and we try our hardest to keep all the commandments that we will achieve true happiness! We will fulfill the things that we were foreordained (sorry big word..) to do and achieve.  

My blood is SOOO thin...... I am freezing all the time! It gets to 65 degrees and I am in my coat shivering to death... I’m not going to lie... I’m not looking forward to the UT weather...  

I LOVE YOU ALL!!

Love,

Sister Kersey Davis

 Fountain on the North side of the temple... Awesome symbolism. 

The first and single little water fall is symbolism of Jesus Christ. The 3 water falls under it is the prophet and his 2 counselors, and the 12 around is of course the 12 apostles and the pool is all of us! Eph 2:20
