Hi Mom
I came to internet early so that maybe you could get the opportunity to write one of the sisters in my district. Her name is Hermana Chavez she's from Tampico and is the only member in her family she hasn't had an email from her faminly in about a month but she doesn't know that I asked for her email so that you could write her. Here is her email adress clara.chavez@myldsmail.net. Surprise her Mom she really deserves some more attention. This week I found out that one of Abuelo's teachers from the Benemerito lives in this ward his name is Virgilio Aguilar. Maybe it'll sound familiar to him. It's funny his wife was talking about it and said he was a little boy from Puebla and that he stayed with her in her house during the week.. We had a couple more baptisms this week they were really good ones she had been waiting for something in her life and she recognized it when it came around. Well that's all I have for this week I love you Mom be safe don't work too hard.
Love Elder Davis

Hi Mom
I can't write much this week but I will tell you a few things. I ran into your cousin the other day and it caught me by surprise and I still have no idea who she is and how she recognized me but whatever that's cool one more cousin in the mission. From Toluca I went to Metepec close by but now I'm back close to DF actually a suburb called Tlalnepantla tecnically I'm in Estado de Mexico but they call it DF. I'm close to the Benemerito so maybe you can talk to Abuelo and get the adresses of his friends around here. The district leader thing is going ok I still feel really new and not too experienced but I have the responsibility for a reason so ok. I think I'm gonna get the emails of a few of the missionaries in my district because I think their families don't write them so you guys can write them. That's all I really have time for this week but thank you for writing and hopefully all the business stuff goes well. I love you Mom talk to you next week.

Hey Dad
I sat down today and was looking at all my letter and found Skylar's I started one for him so it should go out before week's end. I think I lost my sheet of stamps things have a way of losing themselves somehow I think I have half of what I came hear with, besides clothes. However I think that's nothing to worry about sending a letter home only costs about 7 pesos so it comes out about the same. I've had my share of those companions and hope I haven't been that companion for someone else because i do try my hardest. I'm included here in praying for Skylar, Kylie also wrote me and said that I had helped Skylar in lots and I hope I can keep doing that for him. Hope the wedding turned out pretty stinkin good I know Mom always wows the crowd even given little time and resources. About the testimonies I know that this work is the most important work here on Earth and each Prophet since Adam has preached it so I am more than satisfied with my contribution in it. There is a part of our mission theme that says Each missionary plays an important part in bringing to pass the task of Our Heavenly Father in "bringing to pass the inmortality and eternal life of man." I know I fall in that part and that I can do great things through little things.
Here is a list of the people I'm teaching and what their needs are:
1. Raquel and Jesus and their daughter Rachel, Raquel is sick with a few things and is looking for healing, also wants her husband to stop drinking and come closer to the family. We took them to church and think that Jesus felt good there.
2. Adan is 27 has kinda the same problem Cha Cha had and is trying really hard to stay clean apart is living with a woman that he wants to marry but hasn't been baptized yet so really shouldn't live with her.
3. Christian and his family Christian was into drugs and now has kidney problems because of it and is waiting for a spot to get a kidney we haven't been able to find him lately so that's him.
4. Liz she works with a member and has been listening to us but has a hard time I think letting go of parents teaching even though wrong and doesn't really know what the spirit feels like. Explained to her that going to church would help but hasn't gone yet so that's what she needs help with.
Those are the ones most likely to get baptized next so for now that's the list. Hopefully they can get over their trials and come unto Christ this week. That's all I got for this week. Oh one more thing I think I found Abuelito Santigo's name in the visitor's center in an exhibition of Mexican Pioneers, I'll try and send a picture of it next week. Thanks for writing Dad I love you take care of Mom for me.

Hey Dad
I wrote Grandma last week and I felt half way decent being able to say that I miss Grandpa but he and I are doing the same thing preaching the gospel. So far this change has been a real growing experince I've been applying what I heard in conference that it's easier to be 100% obedient than 98% obedient, I've been applying that in my life and seeing that the fruits come sometimes unexpectedly. I'm glad Ammie is getting some playing time that will help him alot and will get him ready for High School, it's amazing the doors that are opened when you play a sport. I never really got to know Bro Koga very well but from what I hear he's a true sport. That's a pretty weird combo for a wedding and hopefully it turns out all good. So just about evrybody has passed through Abuela's house except for us and hopefully you're right that we don't have to live there too. I don't really know about the Xalapa or Jalapa thing my comp says it's both ways and I've even seen it on maps spelled both ways too so who knows. I really don't have anything to write about I just am trying my hardest to be a good example to my missionaries now that I'm in a leadership position so wish me luck. Thanks for writing Dad I love you and I'll talk to you next week ok.

Hey Mom
Conference was in the church building but I watched it in Spanish which kinda stank because the translators were kinda slow and missed big chunks but the parts I did hear were really good. Oy Kenyon I need to write him and get him to stop fooling around so much but anyways I hope he does better this semester. The camera is a Phillips the mark is Lumix I think if not I'll have it in hand next week to be able to tell you exactly. Ok I will write Grandma I've been really bad about writing people and need to take a few hours doing that this week. I am happy for Chaz he'll do great and I hope he gets all ready to go but he'll have to learn to get ready fast and not take his time like a girl, I actually think a girl is faster than he is you can tell Kris I said that. Well before you know it Mom I'll be home my trainer is just about ready to go home and it feels like I just got here so I think the time will fly this next year. Anyways good luck with the work Mom I know you can do it and I'll be praying for you this week. I love you and hope everything goes well.

Hey Dad
Conference was great as always being here and applying the messages really brings meaning to the work. I was thinking about Bo this past week but it didn't occur to me that he would be in the choir but oh well I guess. I hope everything goes well in the project that you are working on and that it has sucess. Tell Chaz congrats for me and that i am really excited about that. I still haven't written Skylar back but hopefully I can get a letter to him soon i have to see how he's doing in the Mission. Well apparently I'm about 40 minutes away from Drew's last area in the mission so you can say I've been to each extreme of the mission so far and I only have to go to 2 more zones and I've touched all of it. Besides the extra responsibility I think that this change is going pretty good this area can be very fruitful I just have to work. My new comp is Elder Jaime from Jalapa, Veracruz and has like 4 months in the mission. We get along great and he has the gift of speaking and persuasion which will come in handy when it comes to work. So I burned the shirt this week it's nice to know I'm half way done so I guess I'll have to keep working hard this last year that is left just 7 more changes. Well Dad thanks for writing it's nice to hear what's going on at home. I love you and take care this week good luck again at work I'll be praying.

Hey Dad
Thanks for writing and updating me on home I really love to hear about waht's going on there. Take the opportunity to go to the temple as much as you can I don't get to go until I finish my mission so ¡aprovechalo! The DL thing is going ok I had my first interview this week that was nerve-racking but I got through it with the help of the holy ghost. I guess the bigger responsibility will help me grow alot faster now but I finish the day more tired than I have ever been in my whole life. Howevever I can sleep at night knowing I did a good day's work. About the pictures I have been trying to locate a computer that has a slot to insert a sd card but haven't found one. The lost chord is to my camera and that's why I haven't sent pictures and not much time or money to be able to look for the same chord, but I'm sure I can find it if I get a minute. The one year mark is a shirt and 6 months was a tie but my comp didn't let me do it so I think I'll have a double ritual this week. I've also heard that the second year is alot faster so I got work to do now. That's exciting about Chaz and Dallin and after them alot will be leaving soon after and we'll be a blessed ward. Tell Dallin to get the ball moving or else it'll take forever to gey out into the field especially if he goes foreign, lots of problems with visas right now we're waiting on 30 americans right now who are in the states in other missions just waiting on that. I love you Dad thanks for supporting me I really appreciate it. Tell Mom hi for me and that I'll try to get those pics to her somehow.

HI mom
Well I have a new area again that's 3 in 3 changes which isn't too common but whatever that's fine I think i will love it the same. I hope you can attend the temple we don't get that opportunity only when we go home from the mission. I need to write lots of people back Skylar's already written me three times and I haven't sent anything back so I need to get on that. That's good you have work I hope the business keeps growing and that it could be a steady thing. 4 hours is a tight time but I know you can do it Mom. Dallin and Kenyon should be getting letters soon then I need to talk to them especially Dallin. I miss Angela alot sometimes I wish I could be there to see her grow up but I'll catch her baptism at least. I did get the money thank you I really needed it this week I have money that supposedly I'm getting reimbursed but that takes forever so thank you and my tias for that. I really have nothing else to write this week it was pretty slow because of the 15th and 16th. I love you Mom

Hey dad
It's hot down there still? That's surprising I don't remember the weather pattern there too much I guess. Yeah it's sweater weather alright and just gonna get colder but I won't have to worry about being in Toluca for the weather because I'm going back closer to DF. Spencer and Brett already have their Eagles?! I remember those 2 when they were still in Primary and now they have their eagles wow I'm getting old "no doubt". I get the racist thing some but not much usually just people playing with me and stuff like that but I usually don't tell complete strangers that I'm from Arizona. I guess my comp from Kansas got raised up to DL as well so I guess this was a pretty sucessful change. I think there's a talk by Elder Holland about missionary work it's called the divine companionship and it says in one part that if you are doing your work right, then you will worry about the sucess of your companion and not your own so I am happy. I guess that's all I have for now so until next week and I'll update you on how the new area is. I love you Dad thanks for your advices I really use them.

Hey Dad
Good to hear about the stake center already done that's great. Anyways about callings my president already gave me my changes I'm going to be a district leader and I'm really nervous about that I don't know what to think really that I'll have to trust in the Lord in all that I do. I really haven't figured out how to really take care of myself yet and now I have to worry about a whole district so that's nerve racking to say the least. Haha you're so full of it Dad I don't even have 50 baptisms yet so that's a bit short to say the least. However we should have baptisms this week so I'll keep you posted on what goes on with that so I'l have some news next week. Other than that I don't have anything new except maybe that this week will be a huge party everywhere so I guess we'll see what we can get done. I love you and thank you and all who got a little to me thank you, I'll se if I can get them all an E-mail. Bye I'll talk to you next week and update you on everything
