E aí Davis Family


Bom dia para todos! well its great to hear that everyone is doing well, and
that a few of you have even got jobs now... good for you guys!
well where to start off...this last weekend was aweseom! it was conference
if some of you already forgot, but i am sure you didnt. i hope all of you
had a chance to watch conference because it was so good! as i was sitting
watching conference one thing came to mind and that is that even though
everyone had a different talk that they all found a way to mention something
about love. at least for me, this conference it seemed like they had said
alot abuot love. love your family, show your love for your family, love your
neighbor, but always show christ like love. i mean there were alot of
different topics but as i listened to them all i kept coming back to the
same topic...LOVE!
i really liked the talk from Elder Oaks as he talked about the Law of God
and the Love of God....that the law of God cannot override his love that he
has for us.  I really liked the talked that Elder Bednar gave about showing
love in our families. HOw its not enough to just say you love someone but to
show forth your love. one thing that i have really loved about my mission is
Confernce! i mean here on the mission it just feels like something else. I
mean i get excited for general conference the same way i got excited for
christmas when i was a kid... haha  One of the talks that i really really
liked was the talk from Elder Holland....all i can say is wow! Everytime he
gives a talk he gives it with such emtion you can be half way around the
world and still feel what he was trying to tell you. His tesitmony about the
book of mormon was so strong, after the talk i felt like saying " how can
you not believe he was called by God" i mean thats the biggest thing for me,
after conference how do the people continue to dwindle in unbelief! you
listen to a Prophet of God speaking! i mean we just heard what God wants us
to know for the next 6 months. I hope you guys already made goals on how you
can improve?  i mean whats conference worth if we dont listen and then look
to improve on what we need, on what God just got done telling us. Man i love
confernce!

well as for things here, this week was horribly busy, we had an area 70 come
and visit the mission so we were preparing for that and the zone confernces
that will be taking place. My zone conference was yesterday and man was it
amazing! Elder Itinosi, the area 70 came to the zone confernce and talked
with us. he gave a training and talked to us for about 4 hours...what a
training that was....man he is good. It was one of those meetings that you
leave to pumped up that you are ready to go out and baptise the world! He
talked about things we can do to be better teachers, and stuff we can do to
become better missionaries. it was fantastic. if i had all day i could try
and tell you more about what he said but the more detialed report might have
to be al ittle later.

well this next week will be a little slower, nothing to big planned yet..
but at the end of OCT. we will have Elder Scott visting us here in the
mission....what a privlege... an apostle of God is going to come talk to us!
thats one of the coolest things, is getting to shake the hand of an Apostle,
you just feel the light iluminating from them. You cant help but feel good.
its awesome!
so thats going to be a really neat experience, i am way excited for that!
oh just to let you guys know i am getting the letters, i have sent a few
replies, i really do try to write to everyone and i always can, sometimes it
just takes a little longer, so if i havent responded yet, dont think that i
didnt get your letter, i did, i have jsut trying to find some time to write
back.
at least for me one thing is that the last 6 months start to go by way to
fast...but also you start to get really busy...and i mean realy busy!
can you believe though, someone asked me the other day at the conference how
much timei had left, when i did the count..i have like 4 months...what is
going on!? time is going by way to fast, as you are trying to make th best
of the time you have, it seems to just fly away!

well we do have a little of work to do today, so i have to get giong, but i
thought i would send a pic to ya guys, this was a few weeks ago when we took
some MORTOS to the airport. it was kinda weird, cuz i got here first in the
mission and then i ended up taking sister kevern to the airport. anyway dont
forget EU AMO VOCÊS!!!

com grande amor,
Elder Davis
