This week was full of just normal but rewarding missionary
work, up until Friday.
Friday we went to this huge lot on the side of a hill (of
course because everything here is a hill) and with machetes cleaned the entire
thing up. It had been overrun with weeds for years, but these members were
trying to sell it and wanted it to look clean for the buyers, so they asked us
to help. It was exhausting, but nice to work with our hands for a little.
Saturday we woke up early and ran over to Hermana Roxannas
House. When we got there she already had everything ready and we threw the
batter in trays and stuck them into the oven we helped her build. We made
Quesadillas (not the cheese Mexican food- it's a type of bread here) and it
turned out super delicious. Needless to say, building my own oven when I get
home is on my to do list.
For conference I watched it with Elder Bingham and Elder
Durbin in the branch president's office in English (translations just never
match up to hearing the prophets and apostles voices). We had tons of snacks
and the conference was amazing.
When President Uchtdorf talked about dad's asking their children to
take selfies of them it reminded me of our Grand Canyon trip when dad asked
us like 5 times to take selfies of him and mom. hahaha President Uchtdorf hit that on
point.
Everything is going well here. Our little branch keeps going
through trials, but we are pushing forward.
Love you all,
Elder Davis
