Small Miracles

Hey Everyone-
It is transfer day and I am staying for another transfer. My comp. is staying too. That's good because we have a lot going on and I would hate to leave now. This past week has been absolutely crazy. I cannot think of any other way to express it in words other than miracles have been happening in our lives through the Lords hands. I am so happy and grateful to be a missionary and a representative of Jesus Christ. To be able to be a part of helping people change and seeing great things happen. It has been an awesome week.

So first off, Tuesday and Wednesday we had splits. I was in Pirassununga for those days with Elder Ferreira. Tuesday was a little “unlucky” of a day. I got really sick. Ended up having to go to the hospital and get some medicine through an IV. Elder Ferreira, my companion for the day thought it was pretty funny so he spent his time at the hospital taking selfies of us. haha. Wednesday I was still in Pirassununga, they didn’t have any appointments so we ended up visiting members and seeking out less actives. Elder Ferreira had a thought to go to a house close to the house we were visiting and the person that we were going to visit wasn’t there but her daughter was. They had been trying to catch her at home for months and had never caught her or the daughter. We ended up talking to the daughter for a bit and invited her to come back to church. She accepted. So that was great.

Thursday I was back with Elder Sander and he got sick and we ended up at the hospital again. haha. We finally all got well and were able to visit Franciana again. When we first started our lesoon she immediately told us she wouldn't be able to come to church because she already had stuff to do. So we changed our lesson to talk a little about the Sabbath day. By the end of the lesson the spirit had time to work with her and she ended up changing her mind and said she would change everything in her schedule so she could be there at church. How cool is that! I love how the Spirit can come in, touch people’s hearts and completely change people’s perspectives. Friday we taught Heresson and Miguel again. We talked about the Sabbath day with them too. They are planning to be baptized this Saturday! We invited them to pray over a week to ask God about the truthfulness of the things we were teaching them and if they should be baptized. They have been praying and now feel they have gotten their answer. So they are getting baptized on Saturday!! WOO!

Sunday was CRAZY. I seriously cannot describe how crazy that day was. Small miracles happened that day Nine of our investigators came to church which was a small but great miracle! There were a few things in the Gospel Principles class that were taught unclearly so that brought up some questions but we got those worked out. Then in sacrament a member gave a talk about the Word of Wisdom and how we do not drink alcohol, coffee, or tea and we thought that was definitely going to bring up lots of questions with especially Franciana and her friend she had brought because they both do some of those things. But when we talked to them after church they told us, "I think it makes sense that my body is a temple so I will try the Word of Wisdom". LIKE WHAT! How great is that!! They said they would give it all up.  It was really a miracle. It was also on Sunday after church that Miguel and Herreson decided to be baptized. It is true that you are just the messenger and when the Spirit works with the people they will know and want to change. I LOVE being a missionary and teaching the gospel. Sorry got to run. May we all stay close to the Spirit so we can be instruments in the Lords hands to help others come unto Him.

Thank you all for your support.
Com Amor,
Elder Davis
