Week 14


Hey Family,

So i did not here from anyone this week hahah so i hope that you got my last email the computer was being kind of strange so if you did not get it let me know. Well it is crazy it is the last week in my first transfer. Wow that went by so fast. I find out on sat what the transfers are but because i am a BLUE i think that i will stay in Tours for at least one more transfer, but i will let you know. Well this week was really cool i got to do an exchange with Elder Woods it was really fun. We did a lot of porting and then meet with a really cool family. It was also cool because while we were going door to door some random guy saw us and was like what there is missionaries in Blois (that is Elder Wood's area) , I was taking the lessons before i moved here and did not know you were here. So he asked us for our info hahah it was cool that does not happen every day. Well also in was just nice taking about campout and our Families. I relized that i am about to miss my first campout next month, so sad but it is ok hahah. Well also this week we made a baptismal calender for our Amis Mary Joe. She is so good she already read the Book of Mormon twice and D and C. She is going to get baptised on the 21 of next month so that is really cool. Also we got a new amis this week I can not even really say his name hahah so it will be hard to type, but we hope things will continue well with him. Most of this week has been less active work because the branch in Tours was once a huge branch that was ready to be a ward then things happened and offence was taken and now it is a lot smaller branch. So we have been tracking down less actives and so far it has gone well. A lot have moved but one Man said he is going to start comming back to church and will bring his daughter. So we will teach him this week also. Well how is everyone doing? Is anything new going on back home? Oh funny story, well on sun we met with the Branch mission leader and after i was really down because i was struggling with the french and while i was kind of throwing my self a pitty party in my head i was asked to bless the sacrament so then i was really scared hahah. Well in the end i did it even though my accent was well not perfect hahah. It just makes me think why was i ever nervous way back when to say the sacrament pray in english. The lord showed me that even though it was hard and a freaked a little i did it and all was good. Well today we went to another castle. Chateau de Chambord. I will try to send maybe a few pics but last time the computer went crazy so we will see if not look it up it is really cool. Well i don't know much else to say just that i love you and i miss you. Keep being amazing people. Pray, Read your scriptures and go to church, it really is that easy. a side note we have been teaching these three principles to the less actives and it is funny that as long as you do these three things "for real" then everything is so much happier and better in life. So do it! Well i love you all so much. Have a great Easter and remember what it stands for. Oh i forgot, This week it was really cool because an english class student that was not really interested in the church just wanted to learn english called and said he want to talk about the book of mormon. so we met with him and he told us that he was sitting at his computer and had a hard day and was looking for council or enlightenment how ever you want to say it and he looked up and saw the Book of Mormon above his computer where he had put it forever ago. So we seach on youtube the book of mormon and found the Mormon messages. He watched a few and one really touched him and it had a scripture in it so he grabed the Book of Mormon and started to read that chapter. He wanted to talk to us because he said he felt like the book was talking directly to him. It was so cool and now he wants to meet before english class each week to learn more. So amazing how the lord leds people to him when they need him most. Well just wanted to share that story oh and his name is Maxime. Well love you.

Love your favorite missionary

Elder Davis
