Hey Mom

Thanks for the letter and thanks to everyone that helped out in this. I haven't really been thinking about my birthday too much and I hope that they don't make too much of a big deal out of it. I hope that we can get someone to baptize soon. The last time I was here the area was 2 wards and one side was better than the other and the other were lots of rich snobs. I guess at that phase in my mission I was just kinda clueless about what the mission really was and what I could really do. Now that I'm here again it feels weird and I don't know if I feel the same about it. I think that maybe I'll get to stay here but I think my president might be concerned about me being here agian so I'll keep you updated on everything. We do live in a better bigger apartment than we did before so that is good the only thing is that we have a horrible mosquito problem. I did get my birthday package and thank you for everything. really appreciate everthing you do for me. I hope that tomorrow we can just find one really good soul to save somone that really wants our help. Tell thank you to my little brothers and sister. Just want them to know that I love them and a proud of them for being good children. I'll include the thank you as an after note. I love you Mom not much else to include in this letter but hope that everything works out well in the new ward.

Hey dad


Thanks for the happy birthday and hope that you had a great fathers day. I hope that everything is going well at home and that you are happy with the new ward boundaries. It is sad to see familiar faces go and all that jazz but you gotta do what you gotta do sometimes. Tell jovita congrats on the good work and that I'm proud of her. I hope that Dallin is doing good down there and that he is having fun at least the mission can be a drain sometimes if you don't keep yourself busy but not serious at the same time. I really don't have anything new for this week I'm kinda distracted about where I'm gonna get baptisms from this week. I love you and pray for you. Take care and use those new gifts you got haha.

Thanks for writing every week I know you guys are always so busy but you always find time to write me. Wow all those guys were in the young mens with me at the same time and already have kids now. That's pretty amazing I think that I'm gonna wait about a year or so before I start thinking about that. That's funny about the Uff fighting. My president threw me a curve ball the other and just moved me again last week. What happened is that my companion was assigned to be a trainer because new greenies from Peru got to the mission and there were already 4 Elders in that area so President was all like thanks Elder Davis for being so willing for the change with such sort notice. I'm in the ward where I started the mission it's really weird to see all the faces again but the only difference is with a different companion. My new companion is Elder Koyle from Utah but he has his own house in Malibu. So basically I have a cali boy for a comp. Anyways my companion's parents gave him an email that sounded kinda urgent and that his family has been trying to contact our president all week long we're going to go check that out sorry for being so short again. I love you and tell Mom sorry.

Hi Mom

Thanks for the run down back at home. I had changes today I'm in Naucalpan Estado de Mexico and my comp is from Glendale but supposedly his family just moved to Chandler so what's important is he's an Arizona boy. His name is Elder Lowe and I have heard that he works harder than a slave so this should be a pretty interestng change. I hope that Kenyon isn't drifting into things he shouldn't I'll talk to him and give a little motivation. Lately I've felt really happy for the most part I just love being in the mission just losing myself in the service. The lonliness passes after a while and before you know it I'll be back home again. By the way my return date is October 5th I go home on a Wednesday which is strange but that's what they're doing now. I don't have exact details but that's what I know for now. Tell Abuelo thank you for all the help he's given me however much it's been big or little don't tell him that. Anyways that's all i have for this week I had a baptism yesterday I'l send you pictures of that soon. I love you Mom take care and don't work too hard.

Elder Davis

Hi Dad

I heard that's what was happening I can't believe you could make a ward with a dozen streets or so even smaller. Yeah I've left a few areas like that now I got transfered today and it seems like I got sent to an area that baptizes a bunch and is easier to baptize in. I hope that everything goes well again here. My comp is from Arizona up until ust recently from Glendale but now lives in Chandler is what his family said today in his letter. It seems like this change will go by really fast because my companion is a hard worker and that always makes the transfer go by faster. Thanks for getting that stuff to me I really apprecciate that it seems that everything I have is falling apart. Forget about my garments I think I have more than one option of how to wear them now. Well my companions are waiting forme I type really slow and I can't believe it's an improvement for what i used to type like. Anyways I love you Dad thanks for being there.

Hey Mom

I 'm going to be short today I don't have much time either. My investigators are doing great, thank you for your help on their behalf. I have been really getting to enjoy the mission like I should lately and now I only have 4 months left it's a biter sweet feeling. I really appreciate that you take time out for us I know you are a busy mother and still you seem to handle everything at the same time. Thank you for everthing. Oh and Elder Oaks came to the mission this week it was a cool experience being able to be up close and actually feel that presence in the same room. I can't imagine how it must be when the Savior comes. I love you Mom tell you more next week.

Elder davis



Hey dad

Yeah we had some improvement in a few of our investigators this past week and we have really kicked it up a notch. I really enjoy being here in the field it makes me so happy and I really enjoy Father's blessings here. My comp and I have started to really make the most of our time I think until just recently I learned how to work efficiently and make the most of every second. I think home is the last thing on my mind I actually can't believe that this has to end some time it's sureal. Well ain't gonna write much again this week some people are waiting for us and I got to get to their needs. Sorry for being brief sometimes but I just don't have enough hours in the day. I love you take care

Hi Mom

Thanks for working on getting me that stuff I really appreciate the things you do for me in spite of the fact that you are so busy. I would love to hear all of us speaking Spanish when we get home that would be really neat. II wrote Dallin last week and he wrote back he's alredy getting ready to go to Guatemala. He's doing pretty good with the Spanish he knows the sentence stucture at least and it surprises me that he picks it up well. I got Kenyon's letter and it was pretty good I really appreciate his concern. I hope that he can start focusing in on his school work and everything so that he can get better opportunities in the future. Ammon told me in the phone call home that he wasn't doing so hot either so I'll be praying for that as well. The investigators are doing good we have found some really good people lately. One is Amabel she is a woman that has suffered alot she's lost a husband and more than one child, she has one daughter right now and is really worried about how she will grow up she's in those early teenage years and starting to get a little rebellious. Her only struggle is visualizing herself in a group or church we really want to help her and get her on that track so that her daughter can follow her example. Another is Abel Cruz he has little kids 2 of which are twins so he has a handful but yopu can really see his concern for their well being. With him I think he might have a little bit of fear of what his family might think if he makes a change like that. Unfortunately that's what happens in many cases and then people just can't get over that fear it's sad to see but I try and do my part so that doesn'y happen in the future. Manuel is 18 and is pretty enthusiastic about the missionary lessons my only concern is that maybe he follows his friends counsel more than ours. His best friend is another member but a little less active right now but has the true desire to serve a mission he even asked for a blessing the day so he could have more strength spiritually to do what he needs to. Juan Carlos is very intelligent and has studied many books about religion trying to find the truth. However he isn't like other people that say that they "know" because science says so or this person has prove such a thing. I really hope that he can see what bleesings the Gospel has for him if he but opens his heart to the message. Benjamin is the dad of a member in the ward he has some really christian ides but still doesn't know entirely what he needs to do to have his wife again some day. We did sort of a service project for him today he was going to paint his house and we helped him do that I really hope that will help us in getting our message across with clarity and power. We found a girl yesterday her name is Itzel her parents are members and her mom even served a mission but they are super inactive and her mom even says some pretty crazy stuff about the church. The good thing is that her grandma is still pretty active and it seems that she has more influence on her than her very mom. I just hope that she can get baptized and feel that satisfying feeling of doing the right. We have others but those are the most willing to do things so I hope that you guys can pray for them as well. Well thats all I have for now I'll write you next week to tell you if any have had progress. I love you and hope that everything goes well this week. Take care

Love Elder Davis



Hey dad

Keep it short this week I know it's crazy to think that I'll be home soon but everything has it's end in this life but I feel pretty good at this stage I hope that I can be the instrument that my Heavenly Father needs me to be. I try to put goals that make me push myself. I know that evrything doesn't always work out perfectly but I know for sacrifice we are blessed. Thank you for the encouragement I loove you Dad stay safe.

Hi Mom

Sorry about being so short in the messages but it's just that I really haven't had anything to tell you. I'm super excited about Dallin he just sounded so ready to go so I'm super happy for him. I hope that he is having fun out in the field and that he applies himself he has so much potential. I know it's a temptation to want to know evrything about him all the time but that's kind
of why we're here on Earth to be out of Heavenly Father's presence and to be able to progress. So don't worry about it too much Heavenly Father takes care of his missionaries. Right now my companion is Elder Lopez from Sinaloa he has about 11 months in the mission and is really good about getting along with everyone and keeping the peace. We've been working really hard with all the people we have but really very few want to listen. the ones that have the most enthusiasm are Amabel, Abel and Rogelio. These are the ones that have listenes most intently I really have hope that they make the choice to get baptized. More than anything if you want to pray about something you can pray to know how to help them in that decision. I wrote Adriana and Abuelo today but I still need to write Abuela and Grandma more. I'll remember to do that more. Well that's all I have for this week I hope that everyone is ok and healthy. I love you Mom.

Hey dad
