At the
beginning of the week we met with our investigator who lives here in
Salt Lake City (she comes to take the lessons here on Temple Square with
us). Anyone who meets her will know that she is such an amazing woman,
and incredibly talented! When we met early in the week she was in a
rough spot needing to make some huge decisions about her schooling and
career. She felt like she knew what she needed to do, but it was hard
because of all the pressure she was receiving from some friends and
coworkers. We asked her if she had considered receiving a priesthood
blessings, and she said that was something she really wanted. My
immediate hope was the President Poulsen would be able to give the
blessing, but I wasn't sure because he is such a busy guy. We took her
to the south where the mission offices are to see if there was someone
able to give her a blessing. President told us to see if President Loose
was there, and if not to come back and talk with him. When we went to
President Loose's office and he was gone, I'll admit I got really
excited because I really wanted President Poulsen to meet her! Haha! So
he came up and we all met together for a little while and talked. Then
President was able to give her a priesthood blessing, a very powerful
one, I might add. There was such a feeling of love and comfort in the
room during the blessing, and I think everyone there could really feel
that everything was going to work out for her. Afterwards she said she
was feeling really good! The next day we texted her to ask if the
decision had been made, to which she responded yes. She came to visit us
and explain what she decided and how her coworkers reacted to it. Now,
they didn't react very well, but as we were asking her how she felt
about her decision, she was just sooo confident and she said to us,
"Well, they missed out. I know that I made the right choice and I feel
complete peace about it!" We were so happy! :D The gospel is true! :D
The
square has really been starting to slow down...and when I say really I
mean REALLY! Haha there are not nearly as many people here as before and
sometimes I feel weird because I feel as though we're hunting through
Temple Square trying to find someone to talk to! And then, because there
are not as many guests, you keep running into the same ones over and
over and you have to use that awkward line, "Oh! It would seem we meet
again!" So awkward... Like two nights ago we had Tabernacle assignment
and there was nobody there! So I was just walking around the tabernacle
singing because it's really fun to sing in there and then a little
before we left some people started trickling in. And then C.J. came
through the door with some of his posse, which was interesting haha!
They made me do the sound demonstration...*palm to face*. And then they
left and it was all fine and dandy. But about 5 minutes after our TAB
assignment was over we were asked by the sisters in West Gate to take 4
people through God's Plan! We were super excited because we finally had
something to do so we ran to MAP desk to find that it was C.J. and his
posse again requesting to see God's Plan. Hahaha! So we took them
through it and it was really funny, and a tad bit awkward but that's ok!
C.J. is funny so his jokes kinda made it more or less awkward...
On Thursday
for Relief Society we had another member of the General Relief Society
Board come speak to us. I think this is the...8th one that's come...?
I've lost count. But it was extremely good and I love listening to them
talk! They're probably some of the most classy, elegant, hilarious,
spiritual women I've ever met. They've taught us all the lessons from
Daughters in my Kingdom by now so I'm not sure if they'll keep coming of
if they're done now. But anyhow, that was a good experience.
For
Zone Activity today we went to the Humanitarian Center to put school
kits together to be sent out for children all over the world! It was so
fun! The guys who work there were making fun of us though because when
we were doing the kits we were going so fast and everyone was so quiet
because we were so focused! But it was really fun and we put together a
lot of kits! I enjoy doing service projects..I wish we were able to do
service projects in this mission more often.
Well
I'm a little short on time today so I'm going to stop here. But I hope
you all continue to have a wonderful week! Give Kaitlyn Amber LOTS of
kisses for me and take lots of pictures so I can admire her pure
innocent baby face!!!! AH! I am excited to meet her soon. (: (:
Love
Sister Davis
