We had a great week this week!
Monday and Tuesday I wasn't permitted to leave the house, but
Wednesday I got half a day of work in. Then Thursday we had a super sick
Multi-zone meeting!
It was so awesome and spiritual! We learned a ton and
already have seen the fruits of putting what we learned in practice. My mission
president is the best! He brings such a strong spirit and is turning everything
around in this mission. Everyone is increasing their faith and so far as a
mission we have had almost double the baptisms that we had by this point last
year. It is awesome to see how the Lord is pushing his work forward.
Then we went to a meeting with the stake president and our
mission president. We presented new plans to focus the stake on preforming
priesthood ordinances. We based everything on D&C 84: 19-22 and talked about
how important it is to use the priesthood that has been restored. What good
does it do to hold this authority from God if we never use it? We are now
collecting reports weekly from every ward to see what ordinances they did in
their ward that week and if they are truly magnifying the priesthood God has
given to us... It's super awesome and everyone is excited for it. The goal is
that more fathers will give blessings to their children and wives, more
members will work in missionary work with the goal of baptizing their own
friends and families, and increasing the number of people taking the sacrament
every week. We are super excited, and think this will help our stake grow!
Friday we headed out super early to San Salvador to get my
visa updated. Then we got Taco Bell!!! Oh it was so delicious! It was kinda
funny because someone was having a baby shower in Taco Bell. haha Then we
headed home and got to work. It was my first complete day working and it felt
awesome! We got a lot done and Friday and Saturday and I feel so much better
getting out and actually doing something. Since Thursday my health hasn't given
me any problems and I feel awesome!
Sunday was awesome! Probably the most special part of my
week was Sunday night. We finally were able to go and visit the Bishop. I got
to know him and his family and at the end of the visit we asked him to give us
blessings. It was a really neat experience. Even though he barley knows me, he
gave me a super spiritual, very personal blessing. It was just what I needed and
we felt the spirit so strong as he gave it.
Overall it was an awesome week! I'm having tons of fun with
my comp- just making jokes, singing songs, and quoting movies!
Hope you are all
doing great.
Love Elder Davis
