BOA TARDE DAVIS FAMILY!!! hows the gang? hanging in there, the day to day
busle(spell check)...anywho from the little that i have heard everyone is
doing great....so funny story( yes random sorry) so these last few days have
been super busy for us here in the office, and the post office has been on
strike aswell so we havent been receiving anything for the past few weeks,
we today i was running in and out of the office and when i got back to write
some emails i sat down and starting writing, as i was writing i was feeling
like some american candy...yes i know pathetic....fazer o que....well i left
my computer in search of something to eat..seeing how i havent eatin
yet...and i walked over to the place where we keep some food, and i found 2
packages on the floor, well thats not where they should be so i picked them
up to put them where they should go and come to find out one of them was for
me! that defintily made my day!!! so once again thanks kari and mom! you
guys are the best....i am so making pancakes next pday....its the pancake
breakfast we do it every month.....

well as i just got done telling you this last week has been really busy, i
havent spent much time in the office, i have always had to leave to go do
someting somewhere or go buy something for someone....its been fun. i have
spent alot of time out of the office this week, however not where i want to
be..:(  friday morning i had to go to a city in Goias, another state to a
city called Lago Azul. We have a house there for the missionaries and we
deciced to take them out of the house for reasons that i wont tell mom..haha
any way to end the contract we had to reform the house, and i am usually the
one that goes and looks at the house and decieds what needs to be fixed or
painted and then i go buy all the mateiral to do the job and then call
someone to do it for us( its alot cheaper this way in Brazil) so ya i have
gotten good at that here in the office..haha anyway that took up a good part
of my day on fri, by the time i got back there were alot of stuff that had
piled up on my desk having been gone all day and i had to finish up a few of
those exciting things. by the time i got done with all that, me and my
companion hit the road running to get to our appointment that night, with a
family that we had been teaching just these past few days. thats proabably
the best part of the day, when you get to leave the office to go do real
work. we were able to teach a few families that night, each about the book
of mormon, man i love teaching about that. the spirit is always so strong
when you teach someone aboutthe book of mormon, you get to show them how
they can know that this is the true church of christ, its amazing the power
that the book of mormon has to convert the hearts of its readers.
our area is a pretty poor area so not very many people are married, some of
the families that we are teaching are not married, so we have been helping
them to prepare to get married so they can get baptised. the other night we
went to one of the  families and the mom and the dad werent very thrilled to
get married so the night before we had taught about eternal families, when
we got there the next day they keep referring to each other has their future
wife, or future husband....i thought it was pretty sweet!  oh random
thought, so we started to tell them about conference that was coming up and
that the prophet of God was going to speak to us, they started to ask when
they could go and what time it started and all that, man i love Conference,
its like that best thing ever, during my mission everytime that we have
taken people to conference they always walk out wanting more....that or they
walk out with a testimony. its like the best thing that ever happened! i
mean you get to listen to God speaking through his prophet, telling us what
we can do to be more happy, to have more peace, to be safe for the world, to
hold fast to the rod. there isnt any better advice on this earth then from
the Prophet.
so this leads me to a question....are you guys excited for confernece? i
hope so cuz its like the best thing ever!
well has for next week man transfer week is like the craziest week of the
transfer. monday is when all the trades happen, when all the missionaries
trade companions, and ya its crazy, we have to organize it all and get it
all ready at the chapel for that to happen. then tuesday is the day that all
the people leaving go home and all the new missionaries arrive. so we have
to get all the missionarios home to the airport, pick up the new ones later
that day, have all the trainings with the new guys, take them to meet their
trainers and abunch of other stuff, then wednesday we have Elder Brinton
coming to the mission, he is the guy that is incharge of the health of all
the missionaries in Brazil. he is going to come talkto everyone on
wednesday, so there will be a big meeting with him.....and then the rest of
the week we will have to try and catch up on what we normally do mon. tues.
and wed. so its going to be busy!
well i hope that everyone is doing well, thanks again for the package it
really did make my day! :) LOVE YA ALL TONS!

Amo vocês,
Elder Davis
