With Chris, the three young bloodz, and now jaedyn and emily who we just picked up this week plus all the people we are teaching Hagerman is locked and loaded and the Lord is on our side. We set a baptism date for jaedyn after we taught her after the last session of conference and she excepted the invitation to be baptized on the 26th of april. We hope to get Chris on a date for the same day this week and as far as that goes things are looking good :) We picked up emily as an investigator after watching the sunday morning session at one of the laurels in our wards house and we will be teaching her this friday and i have a good feeling about that one as well. the three young bloodz andrew, lane, and chase are doing great still. We could meet with them this week but we hope to play some ball at the park them teach them this week. There is also tons of potential too so if we stay focused and work hard hagerman is going to need to be split into two wards!!!!!!!!! The members here are incredible and the spirit of missionary work rings throughout the canyon walls of hagerman, which makes it super nice for us missionaries. I really dont want to leave Hagerman. i truly do love the people here in hagerman, i am going to be heart broken when i eventually have to leave this place. I have learned and grown so much in this area and i dont want to leave till we have baptized all the people in hagerman!!!!!!
On the down side bruce and gary had to leave which is hard because they had such great potential and had truly inspiring stories. But we also get to go to the temple this friday to do baptisms for the dead since the wilsons (recent converts) get to go for the first time and that means we get to go with them!! Which is super exciting i love the temple.
I would also encourage everyone to let the messages of conference change and inspire you and to be effective missionaries. Missionary work would be impossible without strong members. So with the invitation extended to read preach my gospel i would add something to my close friends and family. Give a name to the missionaries to teach by the end of April. If you dont feel like anyone is ready work with the missionaries to help you get that person ready. I bare testimony that there is no greater joy then bringing someone you truly love into the gospel, i have felt it over and over again in hagerman as i get the opportunity everyday to preach of Jesus Christ and his Gospel. These are the last days, if we dont give everything to the gospel and the advancement of it satan is winning. HE DOES NOT WANT YOU TO SHARE THIS MESSAGE WITH YOUR FRIENDS. he will place thoughts of doubt in your mind about your abilities or the readiness of your friends, but do not doubt. The Lord places people in our lives for a purpose, i challenge you all to find that purpose. Talk to your missionaries and have them help you with this. They are inspired and they can help. You have till the end of April. We are all full time missionaries, whether you leave home to preach the gospel or live your normal life, we are all full time missionaries, the difference isnt the name plate on the outside that separates full time from part time, Its the name tag that is written in our hearts by the desire to share the gospel. We can all be full time missionaries no matter where we are at.
I pray for the success and the advancement of the gospel in these last days! Have courage and faith and dont let satan win!
Oh and have a good week :)
Love,
Elder Davis
