Has It Really Come To And End? Loved My Mission!!

Hi!!   So yeah this is my last time emailing before I see you people in person :D yeah so its been a little rough this week because I LOVE Oaxaca, and I loved serving a mission, and I guess part of my self just wants to keep being a missionary forever. But I understand how God has diffrent things in store for me. I have to move on. I can't live in the mission. But I have to say I am so thankful for the chance I had to serve the Lord for 2 years. I'm so greatful :) They really were the best two years of my life. Or I think better said the best two years FOR my life. I was able to see the real importance the gospel has, and how living it and loving it, is where TRUE happiness is found. My mission was perfect. I got the chance to give my all to Him, and be his instrument, and I saw so many miracles, so many people's lives change. But watching it happen to their lives changed my life. I love the people here!  I love Oaxaca. I see now that true happiness is really founded in serving others and serving the Lord. 

I love you guys so much see you next week.
Love Elder Davenport

July 1 - 4 Baptisms

Yeah, so like I am really going to miss my mission. I also realized this week that God loves every one of his children.

We found this lady who had lots of problems. She got beat to the point that she is now a little weird.. but she was praying that she could find Jesus Chirst when we knocked on her door. It was super special to see that God makes us an instrument in his hands :)

I love you guys so much
this is from last week -  I forgot to send it. 4 got baptized that day :)

The last of June 2015 Abigail - a Miracle

So we had an amazing baptism this week :) 

Abigail who was an investigator got baptised this week :) I'M SO HAPPY!!! I thought I wasn't going to see another person get baptized, but God really blessed us, and after 4 years of listening to missionaries she got baptized :) I'm so lucky I get to be a missionary :) Every day I see so many miracles. I wish I could tell you all about them. I love my mission.

I guess it's finally time to come home, because I love showering from a bucket,



 and I love washing my clothes by hand. And I eat my food with only a tortilla :)
AND I LOVE IT :D haha
baptism and my generation friends :)

May 8, 2015 Did I Say Another Baptism? Oh Yeah! How GREAT Is That?

Hey, so this week, kind of, was awesome!! and kind of sucked.. so we had our getting super awesome  - we had a baptism planned out and the ward is doing awesome and we had like 5 baptisms planned. But then Sunday came and got transferred.. 

And they sent me away to another struggling area.. haha oh well, also, in my generation there are like 30 missionaries leaving so they are closing like 15 areas.. so what they did is they paired off all the "dieing" missionaries and sent them off to all the areas they are going to end.. kind of sucks.  I'm on my old zone haha in the hardest area in the zone.. with a comp who is a little disanimated.. (from my generation. He actually was my companion a year and half ago. He is a super cool guy :) I'm really excited we are going to go out with a bang :)

Oh Messias got baptized. It was a huge fight, but he finally got the courage to stand up to his mom to get baptized :)

Love you guys :) Baptism of Messias and river in the streets (raining like evry day) Chicatanas the giant ants that leave the ground once a year when it rains are yummy. Better toasted but raw they are good too :)
