Hola! Buenos Dias!
Oh my goodness so much has happened this
week! On Tuesday we had a Multi Zone Conference and President Martino of the Quorum
of the Seventy came and spoke to us. He was really an amazing person
to listen to…truly inspired. He really motivated us to work
harder. One of the things he focused on was referrals. And we should never use
that word because it scares members. Which is so true! So what we are going to
do know is ask if they know anyone who just had a baby, if they know anyone who
just lost a family member, or someone who is
having challenges with their kids. And if they do, then we just
ask them to introduce us. So that is how we are going to be getting our referrals
from now on so we don’t scare the members!
Yesterday we went to the house of the two girls from
the part member family. It’s been weeks since we have seen the Dad so we didn’t
know where he stood with his daughters getting baptized. After we taught the
girls a lesson on Tithing and Fast offerings (by the way these girls are so
smart you would think they were members) We asked the mom if we could set a
firm date for the girls to be baptized on Feb 23rd. Basically she said her
daughters were going to be baptized whether he like it or not, but he
will be fine with it. I am so excited for these girls to get baptized because
they are truly ready and it is the desires of their hearts.
In other news I am officially sick. Since
last Thursday I have not been able to keep any food down that members have
given us. I finally started denying peoples’ food
on Saturday because I was so sick to my stomach. I feel so bad
denying peoples’ food. Yesterday at lunch I ate everything but the chicken,
which I gave to an Elder. I apologized to the member
and explained how I was sick. Her son said, “don’t feel bad cause
your gonna feel worse later.” Which was so true ‘cause about 2 blocks away from
their house I lost my lunch. We called the nurses and they
really didn't help but they said I could go get a test to see if it
is parasites. I think I might because from what everyone is saying I
think that is what it is.
The other day we were at a member’s house and their
dog ran out into the street and started limping. And Hermana Suliafu and I
asked the family “what happened to your dog’s leg?” They said “ahh no worries he’s
just faking.” They told us that some dogs here pretend they are limping to
people have pity on them and give them food. I about died! So now we are on the
look out for fake crippled dogs.
Things are great here, other than being sick. We were
really inspired this week in our conference. We have a bunch of new people we
are teaching and we are working really well with the members, which is such a
blessing. I watched a clip about the starving widow who gives her last bit of
food to the prophet. Because of her sacrifice to feed the prophet, her oil and
grain never runs out. It is the same with our Savior if we give our all to Him
he will never leave us and support us through all of our trials. I know he
loves us and is just waiting for us to come unto him.
I love and miss you all and hope you have a great
week!
Love,
Hermana Davies
