What is good my loved ones!!! Well I pray all is good and you are all smiling because life is the greatest gift ever!
Well to begin as the title reads it has been hot here lately and that has made for some days where I feel like I can’t sweat anymore. I am turning into a tomato from getting a sunburnt from the sun haha! I am putting on sunscreen every morning though so I'm trying. I would not trade it for a thing though because I truly love my mission! Besides the sun other things have happened so here we go!!!
So, during the week we had a blast! This last Tuesday we had zone conference which is always an amazing experience. This time around they really focused in on examples that we have in our lives. We have some of the greatest examples all of us truly do. We can all look at the people who have grown up before us to learn so much. We have the examples of our parents which is huge and then also we are blessed to have examples of Prophets of old.
Most importantly we have the example of our Savior Jesus Christ and he truly is the greatest example that we can look to. We can learn so much from how he lived and what he taught. I invite all of you to look to him and to study about his life and to try to follow his example more often. I promise you all that if you come to do that you will see the good in everyone and you will feel our Saviors love more in your life. It is possible I know it is!
Another thing that happened this week is that we found a new little area in our area to work in. So, we didn't really find it, but we did find out that it’s not as dangerous as people have told us. We had the impression that we needed to go work in the area because we found out and did some math that missionaries have not worked in this area for about a year now. It is the most dangerous part of our area, but we found out that as long as we are out before it gets dark everything is fine ha. We also talked to some less active members who live there about their area and they told us it’s not as bad now. So anyways we spent Wednesday through Friday from 3-6 contacting in that area and then also when we had time when not in meetings with other investigators and during the daylight hours we were there working.
Let me tell you that it has been a blessing to work there. We have come across so many nice people who want to learn. It has also taught me a lesson working there this week. We cannot place a label on things we truly don't know about. Like us thinking the area was super dangerous and then finding out it wasn't, we can also judge things wrong before we know the truth. I invite you all also to keep an open mind towards things that you might not know. Be willing to learn and if needed be willing to change from the examples we have. I know we can all learn and grow every week. That is a blessing we have from our Father in Heaven, we can learn and grow every day. I know our Father in Heaven loves you all. I love you all and hope and pray you have a great week.
Real quick...We also went exploring in a tractor junk yard one day this week and I totally lost my reading glasses for about 20 min in this huge junk yard haha. It was crazy funny because the security guard that works there who we didn't know existed until the very end when we started to search ended up coming out and helping us look for them, he became a friend of ours. We ended up finding them in the dirt oh all places! It all turned out good though, we also remembered to say a prayer and I know we had help finding them. I know I was extremely lucky to come across them again haha.
Then another thing we got invited to a family Reunion of a family in our ward. It was kinda wild because we aren't part of their family, but they truly treat us like we are. I’m so blessed to have these lovely people in my life here in Mexico who treat us so great!
Never forget that you are now closer today then you where yesterday to what you want to accomplish. Every day we can get closer to becoming who our Father in Heaven needs us to be and also who we want to become. Everything is possible and never say "I can’t" because you can do it all.
Always smile, you are all blessings and you all play an important role in God’s plan!
Love your Friend Elder Davis!
