December 23, 2013 - First Christmas Week in Oaxaca Mexico

So a little about this week!! So this week a member of the 70 came and talked to us and put these new amazing goals for the Oaxaca mission!! We have to try for 40-60 lessons (our goal was 30) and one baptism every week!! Its a little nuts because here in Oaxaca it's really hard to put 30 lessons because the people here are not very receptive.. but It was awesome because I was talking to my companion the day before about how we could have  a complete resurrection of my area (my last comp didn't work it in a way that there would be future baptisms after he left) so we were throwing around all these ideas about more effect lessons that are a little shorter so we can find more people. And then I was throwing these ideas around to our district leader and then Elder Valensuela basically said that we need to start doing all my little ideas about being more effective and finding more people! haha So i was way pumped for this week!! And we had an awesome week!!! We found two really good prospects who could possibly get baptised!! WOO!!! With my favorite investigator Jacobo and is wife they prayed about the Book of Mormon and they know its true!!! It's awesome because I'm watching them change there lives!! :) Gosh I know this church is true and can really change lives!! I LOVE YOU GUYS thanks for your prayers and for your emails!! Im so blessed to have family like you guys :)

love Elder Davenport
