Email From Elder Davenport December 30, 2013


So about my week! So right now I'm focusing soley on reviving my area!!  I'm working so hard to find investigators. I have to admit I have never been shut down so many times in my life... and I was stressing every day about what I can do to find my investigators (I know that we can contact only if we feel the spirit ) but this week i just prayed for the spirit all the time so technically I can contact all the time right??  haha  I contacted every menos activo and ancient investigator we had, but this week we met every single mark.  Had 30 plus leccions and had 20 new investigators!!!! It was the hardest week, but I saw how God does bless us if we do everything we possibly can!!!! Gosh God is awesome. He pushes me to the limit everyday, and I am slowly watching him make me a better missionary.  My mission is really strict and for good reasons the amount of good missionaries who work hard are few.   My goal is to help  this mission into a mission that works hard and becomes a machine for bringing people into the fold of Christ. Gosh I love this work. It is the work of ALL. not just us missionaries!! but I can't wait to see what more God is going to make of me, and how I can help the people here in oaxaca :)
I love you guys!! You are always in my prayers! (another thing i learned this week is that prayer really works!! :) ) 
Love, Elder Davenport
