Well...ok
so here is what happened: We spent our Thanksgiving at the Lemon home
(a hilarious family living up in Bountiful, Utah)! They came to pick us
up at around 12:30 and we were able to stay until 6pm.
I know, so weird! But it was great. We ate food (of course), we played
ping-pong (OF COURSE), and played some card games. It was really weird
being around a family though.... The family consisted of mom and dad,
their son who recently returned from his mission, their other son and
his wife! And like 5 dogs. So it was great! haha(: It was just weird
being in an actual home...it's the first time I've been in a house for
almost a year! What? I know. But it was great. (:
This
last week was crazy, let me just tell ya! Dad, you're probably freaking
out wondering why I went to the doctor! Well let me tell ya... So when
my alarm was going off in the mornings, I couldn't hear it if my left
ear was laying on the pillow. But sometimes I would hear this faint
peeping sound so I would sit up but as soon as my left ear arose from
off the pillow all of the sudden it was like BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP!!!!!
Yeah. Crazy stuff. So we went to the ear doctor to see if I was going
deaf (which I'm not going to lie I was terrified because if I loose my
hearing I loose my ability to sing....) Anyways! So we went in and he
looked in my ear and said, "Ok now tilt your head this way and don't
move!" So I did and he stuck this crazy weird looking thing in my ear
and then the look on my companions face was really creepy and then he
said, "Well, that's all!" And as he made the electric chair sit up again
I started freaking out because I could hear every little sound the
chair was making and I said, "Woah!" and then I said, "WOOOAAAHHH!"
because when I spoke my voice was so incredibly loudly echoing in my
right ear and it was nuts!!!! So yeah. Pretty much he pulled a mile of
wax out of my ear. NASTY! Ok it wasn't a mile but it was a lot
apparently! Maybe I should have put a censor alert on here before
telling this story....all of you better not judge my ear.... But anyways
I asked the doctor "How the heck can I keep this from happening again?"
and he literally said, "You can't. You just need to go see your doctor
every couple months and have him check your ears." So there you go. I
have issues. I sound super attractive right now.
I have no shame.
So
back to missionary work! Missionary work is fantastic! The day before
thanksgiving we fasted for our investigator in England who was fasting
with her local elders as well about making the decision of being
baptized next month! Woot! They are seven hours ahead of us but we all
wanted to fast at the same time so they were fasting from 4pm to 4pm and we were fasting 9am to 9am.
(: It was good! And we also met with our investigator on the square
whom we met last conference. She is doing SO good and she is SO amazing
and pretty much she teaches us the gospel. (: haha! We are going to have
her meet up with our investigator in England when she comes next month
and they can go see Savior of The World together! We already told both
of them they're going to be best friends because they would just get
along so well! Haha so it's fun(:
We had a
really awkward experience with an investigator who texted us on
thanksgiving while he was high! Haha! We hadn't taught the word of
wisdom yet but now we will definitely be bringing that up sometime very
soon! Haha oh man(:
Oh by the way...the Christmas lights are turning on in like....2 hours! AH! WE ARE SO
EXCITED! Our p-days are in the morning now (which is SO weird) so we're
going to be headed back to the square pretty soon to see the PEOPLE and
the LIGHTS and dang we're so excited! Woo!
I
also wanted to just let you know about the new short video the church
has put out for the Christmas season called He Is The Gift. You can
watch it on mormon.org/christmas
and if you haven't seen it yet, GO WATCH IT. Then when you watch it you
should probably #sharethegift (; We had a big meeting from the
missionary dept about it because of the new displays here on Temple
Square and the many wide variety of means that they are spreading this
abroad and it's pretty great! They have even given us new referral cards
for it!!! Call me a missionary but I was stoked when I heard they were
doing that!!!!
I'm going to apologize right now
for this letter being so short and not very detailed, we are just very
busy tonight and in a bit of a rush. Questions, comments, concerns,
rebuttals, testimonies? Send me an email and I will respond to
you...(probably next pday ha!).
Ok I really
love you all lots and I really love being a missionary lots and I really
hope that this week is exciting and that your weather is better than
ours!
BYE!
Sister Davis
