Happy Thanksgiving!
I hope you enjoy your
week so much and eat a ton of turkey for me because here in Argentina they don’t
eat turkey sadly. Haha. Well this week went so great. I have a new companion
that just started her mission. Her name is Hermana Rascon and she is from Chihuahua,
Mexico. And yes don’t worry she knows how to cook yummy tacos so I get my fix
for those next week. Haha. She is so sweet and adorable and teaches the gospel
with so much love and patience. She has been a member all of her life and has
so much energy to work hard and find new people to teach every day.
This week we contacted a
lot of people in the streets and taught a lot of lessons. At times it’s hard to
teach lessons because Siesta or Nap time if you want to call it in English.
Lol. Is for most of the time during the day from 12-5 in the afternoon and we can’t
be in the streets after 7 and so were working our hardest to knock on specific
doors and using the most of our time. We’re going to receive cards this week
for Christmas for people to see the video to church made and for them to feel
the spirit of Christmas much stronger. I’m so excited for this time of year
because its focused so much in the importance of families. One thing I’m
learning so much here on the mission, here in Argentina, is that the people
here in Argentina don’t have much money and things in their houses. But what
they have is huge families, a roof over their heads and food every day. At
times we think we need a lot of things, but is it really that important? I have
such a strong testimony that when we focus in the needs of others and forget
ourselves, we will be the ones changing at the end of the day when we have
given all of our efforts to the people that need that specific love and
charity. This week is Thanksgiving, so don’t focus in what you want and need,
but what you have and what you can give, so other people can have those same
feelings you have and be greatly thankful and blessed. I love you all so much
and hope you have a wonderful week. Felix Dia de Gracias!
CHALLENGE: Set a goal
for yourself this week, and then tell Heavenly Father your goal. Stick to your
goal and try to reach it within the week. You will truly see His hand in your
week, helping you along the way to reach your goal.
Love you,
Hermana Davis
