We took our first English Motor Coach yesterday!!!!!!! (Motor coach
tours are when a huge bus drops off a massive group of people and we
get to use sweet microphones and fancy flags to take people on tours!)
This lovely group of people were all Asians! Haha(: Ironically enough,
the bus driver asked us to keep it to a 30 minute tour because they
needed to leave SLC quickly so they could get to Vegas faster....
*sigh*. BUT! Because they were on their way to Vegas, during the tour I
told them about the St. George, Temple as well! Someone asked if the
first temple in Utah was SLC so I very proudly told them no! I explained
that the first temple was in St. George, Utah and then very excitedly
told them that I was from St. George! They all said "Oooohh! Ahhh!" as I
explained that they would be able to see the extremely white LDS Temple
when they drive through on their way to Veags. (: Who knows! Maybe
they'll stop there and then they'll meet Charlotte and all get baptized!
:D
I've almost caught up with all of the General
Conference talks and I am loving it! It's amazing how much more grateful
you are for those talks when you are in a position when you don't have
the luxury of sitting down and just watching them!
As soon as the copies of the Conference Ensign
arrived in the mission home the box was flooded by sisters checking to
see if their picture was in the Ensign! Ha! My companion and I sat there
and laughed as they all sat down and ripped open the pages, only to
find that not a single Temple Square sister missionary had a picture of
them make it to the Ensign! Hehe(: The temple square stereotype is
officially being deteriorated as we speak. (At least, so we hope.)
I received some very specific and extremely comforting
personal revelation from the scriptures just the other day. I'm not sure
why, but since General Conference I was having so many questions about
the future. I was so confused about some things, very nervous about
other things, and just didn't know what exactly to do about it. I
especially didn't like it because when I wasn't teaching or talking with
people about the gospel, the uncertainty was just eating away at me. I
kept praying and praying for answers but I just had no idea what to do
about it. After District Meeting on Tuesday I was eating my lunch in the
lounge when I had the feeling I should open up D&C and just read
from it. I opened up to a random page and just starting reading. The
first time I read through the scripture, these are the only parts I
remember reading,
"Behold, I say unto you that you shall let your time
be devoted to the studying of the scriptures, and to preaching, and to
confirming the church, and to performing your labors on the land, such
as is required, until after you shall to to the next conference; and
then it shall be made known what you shall. do." (D&C 26:1)
I took that as my answer and have felt nothing but peace about it since then. (:
It's
May already! Can you believe it? This is the point in time when every
flower on Temple Square is blooming! AH! It's the most beautiful thing
in the world!!! What a tender mercy from the Lord, to have sent me to a
mission that probably has the most flowers. The sun has also been coming
out! The sun! It's beautiful! After non-stop rain last week I was
beginning to wonder if they have summer in Salt Lake City, but I believe
there is a good chance that it may or may not be coming!:D
Thank you for all of the prayers, support and love!
Keep on keeping on! Don't give up, even if sometimes it feels like we're
walking through a foggy day.
Love,
Sister Davis
