Temple in France!! Dee gets mugged!!

HEY,

Yep a Temple is coming to France!!!!! We are all so excited. All I really know about it is that they are in the process of getting the land. I will let you know when we hear more. We are excited to see the huge effect that it will have on the work because we know the blessings that come when you get a temple. The member are so excited it is the First Temple in France. I am glad that Bryce enjoyed his Birthday. Also Happy Birthday to Kira this upcoming Sunday. Dad it sounds like work is going great haha. Mom thanks for the letter this week along with all the letters from Easter that i never got, it was so great getting it and seeing that you are really feeling better and to hear about you amazing experience. Well this was such a great week. First it started out with a lot of finding and then we went over to the house of this family we found that has friends that live in UT and know a lot about the church. When we were over there they fed us and i had ESCARGOT for my first time. It actually was good haha it has a strange texture but the taste was good. Then we had interviews with President and his wife, along with a training. It was really good and all based on the Book of Mormon and enduring to find the people who are ready. Also when i was in my interview i was told that President was at a conference for all mission presidents with Elder Bednar and he asked the Question how can the missionaries get over the challenge of the languages in the work? Elder Bednar's answer was three things. 1 pray each morning, afternoon and night for the gift of tongues to speak the french language 2 Ask your family to pray each Morning, Afternoon, and night for you to have that gift. 3 Then make sure you are asking with the purpose to Preach the Gospel and better communicate with the people who you have been called to serve. So I would like to ask you all if you could pray for me each morning afternoon and night to have the gift to tongues to speak the French Language to preach the gospel and bring people closer to Christ. I know that mine and your prays will help my French get even better and it will help the work here so much. Thank you so much. I LOVE YOU ALL! Well before we left up to conference in Angers we stopped by an amis house and caught her just getting home and we could tell that she had a really hard day. We were able to help her and then share again that she has a father in heaven who loves her and she can always turn to him at any time. It was cool to see how powerful that simple message can be to someone who really is in need of the comfort that comes from pray. Well another cool thing that happen this week was seeing the power of service. We were planning in this park outside of this old little castle and after we were done we were walking to the car and saw that the door over the mot was open so we looked in and saw an older man moving all these tables by himself so we went and helped him. After he was so thankful he gave us a personal tour of the whole castle. During the tour he started to ask about the church and we were able to teach him who we were. It was funny because all day we had no luck, but after we just lent a hand we saw how service could open someones heart through gratitude and love. Ok now to conference we watch the first session in French and then the rest in English. It was so amazing i learned so much and loved that a lot of it was directed towards missionary work. haha. Also i loved the talk about how "it's better to look up." Some other big messages were the importance of Pray and the relationship you have with God, Book of Mormon, and being bold in sharing the gospel. There was just so many great thing said i can't wait to get the Ensign and read through them again. Well this was a great week. I hope that you all enjoyed it as much as i did. Stay positive and be the examples to everyone you meet. Je t'aime!! 

Elder Davis

Also i forgot to tell you right before conference some one got into our car and took our GPS and my watch. hahaha It was sad but we were just glad that it can all be replaced and that they did not do any damage to the car.
