Elder Davis is a goofball. :) He's like the little
brother I've never had! He is awesome! He's a hard worker, and knows
what his purpose is. We are starting to be more and more busy here, and
we are going to have to start going on splits
in the evenings. It'll be good!
We have started executing a plan that we have been
formulating over the last little bit. We are starting with the active
members of the ward. We befriend them, let them know we are here for
them, and help them invite their non member friends
to let us be their friends and teach them. Then we go to the less
actives. We are trying to become best friends with Bishop Mortensen.
He's pretty busy, but he knows we are here and we are ready to work. He
is pretty cool! Anyway, with that we have started
going down the ward list doing what we have planned to do. Last night,
we went by to get to know the Pennington's. They are a younger couple,
about Elisabeth and Bobby's age and they said they haven't had the
missionaries over in a year, due to the fact that
they said that everytime missionaries would knock on their door, they
didn't realize that they were members. They are a cool family. They do a
Christmas light show every year. They sync it to music. We offered to
help him set it up, and he said he would take
us up on that offer. It's going to be pretty sweet!
We did some tracting and found two potential
investigators. One of them believe it or not is from Gillette! We were
walking by, and I pointed to a house with two trucks in front of it both
with county 17 Wyoming plates. We knocked on the
door and talked with the man for quite a while. I told him I was from
Gillette and he smiled and then proceeded to tell us about how he worked
as a pipe runner for a lot of the oil companies in Gillette. He moved
here about a year ago but had lived in Gillette
for about 18 years. His name is Ron Calingias. He was fun to talk to
and invited us back.
We have been having a lot of success with recent
converts and less actives here in the 4th ward. It's been neat to see so
many peoples hearts start to change over the course of me being in the
4th ward.
I've had a lot more opportunities to bear my
testimony, and as a result, start babbling like a baby, to so many
people. I'm learning so much from Elder Davis (who came out the transfer after
me) and we are getting along just fine! :)
He is from Kaysville, and marched for Davis High. He plays the
trombone and he was in Jazz Band as well. We bond over silly geeky band
stuff.
It’s a lot of fun.
We are working our hardest and trying our best, that's all the Lord asks of us!
We are the Hope of Israel! We are the Messengers. This is the work!
Love you!!!
