Serving from March 10, 2016 to September 2017

Scripture

2 Nephi 31:20

Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and of all men. Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and endure to the end, behold, thus saith the Father: Ye shall have eternal life.

Service Projects

Ciudad Evita 2!
This week was so busy. During the week we did so many service projects and I just love it. We sewed...and so I finally know how and have mastered it, I feel like Betty. (: And we helped the ward get ready for the activity on Friday. The activity we attended was all of the wards in the stake were assigned a country to present and to make food from that country. It was so awesome. And even more awesome because we have 3 investigators attend. This ward is so great and just support and love the missionaries so much. My second day and all the rest of the days of the week we had members accompany with our appointments. 

It was recent converts birthday and so because I never ate Asado here she cooked asado. Asado is like a big cook off with a ton of different kinds of meat. But she cooked these black sausage things, called morcillas. And the translation is English is cow blood. In the moment I didn’t know what it was. But after I was disgusted. It has the most interesting texture and is extremely salty. Haha. 

On Friday we also had a motivational speaker conference with the son of Elder Packer, one of the twelve apostles. It was so great because all we spoke about was having the spirit with us always and the importance of our investigators feel this peace and comfort. In the afternoon, we determined to find a new investigator to teach with the spirit and baptize a convert. And so we found Maria, she is 22 years old and lives in front of members! How great right? The connection and the support she has. She is very quiet but wants to learn more about Heavenly Father and why we are so happy. And best of all she accepted the invitation to be baptized. I know that when we teach with the spirit and have the Holy Ghost with us all always we are literally a light to people who don’t have this constant companionship. My mission president said that when we have a smile always people will recognize your light and happiness and will literally want to be with you a lot because they feel this happiness and influence in their lives. I know that when we are obedient and close to our Heavenly Father we can feel this peace and love of him. We only have to want it and humble ourselves to have this desire and beautiful gift. 

I love this area and I love my companion so much. 
Love you, Everyone!
Love,

Hermana Davis
