So I just got the word from my Mom...
My cousin Kylee is getting MARRIED???
No.
No one can get married, graduate school, have babies, birthdays, parties, or any kind of fun until I get home.
I have FOMO big time.
But like wow I´m stoked for her!
I would love to see a picture of her and her cute fiance (fam *cough, cough* pictures, pictures)
And at least know his name haha.
Pero bueno.
Wow I can´t believe that this transfer is already going to end this week. It was rough for awhile because we couldn´t find anyone to teach and I want to thank you all for all your thoughts and prayers! I feel blessed to have such amazing friends and family!
But last week we got a new investigator and he CAME TO CHURCH. I started crying no joke he made me so happy. He ´s so sweet and has a desire to baptized. He just needs to wait for his divorce, get married, quit smoking, y ya esta. We´ll see what happens with him.
And then final found not one, not two, but THREE references. One is the daughter of a member and the other is sister´s with Julia. Both of them are super interested and are our investigators now!
So now we have 4 investigators instead of one!!!
I feel so blessed.
We were having a really crappy day on saturday. Like, super crappy. But we kept going and we found the third reference. It was this little old lady. She let us in and we talked for a little bit and found out that her husband died 3 years ago and she and her daughter both struggle with depression from it.
We started teaching the plan of salvation and I just can´t explain how special it was to see her face light up. It was like she recognized everything we were telling her. It then it got better.
Her daughter and her "amigo" (he wants to be more than friends but she doesn´t lol sounds like my life) came in and sat down and started listening too. Like, actually showed a lot of interest and asked a lot of questions. They all took turns reading out of the book of mormon and the pamphlet of the restoration and the plan of salvation. It was too good.
AND THEN
We had another cita with Julia´s little sister and she is gold. Like, she asked us to come. She told us there that she prayed a little to know if our church was true like we asked and that night she had a dream of a voice calling to her and she saw a picture of Jesus. She immediately woke up and looked through the Restoration pamphlet and found the picture of Christ ministering to the Nephites in 3rd nephite and realized that was the picture of Christ she saw in her dream.
Um helloooo.
An answer straight from heaven! That picture is of our church because we believe in the Book of Mormon!
And then we taught her about praying, reading the scriptures, and coming to church and she was like "yep I need to come to church" like we didn´t invite her or anything she just KNEW what she needed to do. Then she told us the next time we can come that she wanted to talk about Joseph Smith.
You guys,
She ASKED to talk about Joseph Smith. ASKED. That never happens!
And then she said the most beautiful prayer!
Lol who am I, the gospel makes me so happy!
But we just walked away with tears in our eyes because we felt like our prayers had been answered. I was just so shocked and amazed that after weeks of searching, we finally found those who were prepared to hear the gospel. You could just feel that they were.
I´m so grateful for this opportunity to be an instrument in the Lord´s hands and serve these wonderful people of Argentina. I love seeing people come unto Christ and enjoy the blessings of his teachings of the gospel. There literally is no better way to live.
ALSO
Big news...
In october we´re allowed to eat with members!
So sike, I´m coming home fat after all lol have the salads ready at the airport and I´ll run home hah
But really I´m kind of stoked.
Just pray for me I won´t have to eat something weird like stomach lining. Yes that is a thing here, yes I have seen them eat it with my own eyes.
I can´t wait to tell everyone what kinds of things I eat haha.
Let´s see what happens
Con amor,
Hermana Davidson
