Smile!

Friends and Fam Fam, 

Your favorite missionary speaking, Haha. This week has been so crazy and filled with the most interesting things that happened. During the week we are too talk to a lot of people about the gospel, contacts in the streets and clap in front of houses to meet more people. Well Thursday, we clapped in front of the house like three times, and waited, then a man said to wait a minute through the window. He then came running out in his boxers, this short tiny man! Haha. We were so confused and disgusted at the same time. Weirdest experience in my life, and he wasn’t that interested in our message, but please never again. I guess people in Argentina, the men and women practically wear nothing in summer because it’s terribly hot. So that should be interesting when it comes in 3-4 months. Lol.

Exchanges this week! But the only thing is that the Hermanas of Adrogue didn’t have water or light at all. So we had to walk down stairs with big pots to fetch water and walk up the stairs, we did this like 6 times. Haha. It was fun though because we had candles everywhere and just talked and told stories because we weren’t able to do our stories. We then woke up at 8:30 in the morning! Woohoo, I got a little more sleep because the sun doesn’t rise until like 9 in the morning here and we don’t have light so why wake up early when there’s nothing else to do? Haha. 

Proselyting in a "Villa" area this week, or dangerous area because we have less actives. While walking around trying to find the less actives house and talking to people in the street, there then was a big group of Jehovah Witness´s talking to people also. We then went to another area to find another less active member and there they were again, proselyting in the same area. It was awkward but I guess this area was the place to be in this day. People usually think were Jehovah Witness´s so it was actually kinda normal. But that was funny because everywhere we went there they were. Haha. 

Our new mission president, Presidente Calquin told us that when we preach the gospel with a smile people will see the happiness within us and recognize and want that same spirit. I had an experience this week, while contacting people I felt that we should talk to this specific lady outside, cleaning up her house. I then asked if she needed any help, presented us and that we would like to teach her more about Christ, while talking i had a smile on my face. We finished talking and have an appointment with her this week, as we were walking away she said that she loves my smile and the reason why she wants to hear our message is because she wants to feel that same peace and happiness I have when talking to her. I know that because I followed the spirit and listened to the counsel of my president, I found this Cecilia, that may be lost or having a trial and needs the gospel in her life right now. Looking for moments always to share the gospel is so important because there are always people that need the blessings we have. Service to others always changes the heart of the person that serves. 

I love you guys so much and hope you’re staying warm because it is so so cold here. I love Argentina, I love Claypole, and i love serving my Heavenly Father. 

Love you all! Write me!

Love,

Hermana Davis

Photos it’s a tradition in Argentina when you turn 15 to have your banner in the street for one year after your birthday.
