helllloooo!!!! how is everyone? sounds like things are going pretty well
from whati have heard. anne is coming down and what not so that should be
fun. well lets see whats new in the life of elder davis? we have been
working really hard so thats good, but the past few weeks we havent had any
baptisms. but there is one thing that i have learned from all of this.
things start to get really hard before the miracle, you have to push even
harder to get to it. and we are on that path. we found 2 new investigators
last week that are awesome. one, her brothers were baptised and she lives in
our area so it was a reference from some other missionaries but we have only
taught the first lesson and the book of mormon and she said that she
believes it...because it makes sense! thats the first time i have heard that
but its true! we have a baptism date for her in 2 sundays and i think she
will be baptised! so thats really good. then there is this other girl who
found the missionaries in 1998 and then again in 2004 and was never invited
to be baptised! i dont konw what those elders were thinkin cuz she is way
cool and she asked if she could be baptised with out her husband, he is way
cool but doenst want to be baptised becuase his family is cathiloc and all
that kinda stuff...but we are workin with him. but i think she will be
baptised this sunday!!! i am getting way stoked. so lady made this really
good cake...it was like the best cake ever....it was this coconut cake (
they eat alot of coconut down here) but it was soooo good. so i asked her
how to make it and i made it today, but it has to sit in the fridge for a
couple of hours so i have to wait but i will let you know how it is next
week. so today we are going on an adventure!!!! elder leite has to buy some
pants and we are going into brasilia to buy them and guess what they have
there.....BURGER KING!!! so we are going there for lunch!! i am way stoked.
i am going to get the biggest meal ever! i will take some pics and you guys
can see how it goes...so guess what the other night we were walking around
and i saw the brazilian style cat lady. she had like 50 cats i am not
kidding you, it was ridiculous....but it made me laugh. my companion didnt
understand why it was funny..ha haha well other then that things are going
really good here. i mean today i am eating cake and burger king and we have
some baptisms comin up. doenst get better then that. oh so last week i made
the cake cookies...pretty sure we ate them in one sitting so the next day we
went to the store again and bought some more cake mixes and i stayed up a
little later so make some more cookies...ya they were way good. i am just a
cooking machine. ha ha oh so this family asked me what i eat for dinner and
i told them about french toast....they wanted to know how to make it so i
exlpained it to them, not sure if they ever made it, i forgot to ask them
but it proablby wasnt good thats why they didnt say anything to me. all they
now how to cook down here is rice beans and meat...seriously. and you would
think they know what burritos are, but they dont. most people havent even
heard of them. strange i know. well i better be going....OFF TO BURGER KING
I GO!! ya i am way excited if you couldnt tell. well i love you guys tons!
thanks for all your support and your prayers. i hope everyone has a awesome
week!!!
