About this week!! This week has really been in one word a miracle!!! I was determined to change this area into an area where we can bring as many people who are prepared by the lord for baptism into the waters of baptism! and really I said tons of prayers and did my very and utterly best and put my faith in God and this week has really harvested the fruits!!!! Wow is the only word I can describe!!!First there was rock in my shoe or more like a pebble haha, but every time I felt it. it reminded me to pray and ask God to direct me to his children who are ready for the gospel. So I kept it in my shoe haha (yeah i know kind of lame..) haha but anyways we always found people to teach, and were always progressing our investigators!!!! iI also really focused on following every rule including the rule about putting a date for baptism which alot of people think is impossible so they don't do it!.. but really following that, and really trying and praying to help my investigators progress towards baptism really worked we also were extremly persistent with the members to help us and have this work be their work and it really helped!!! This week I helped more people progress then any other week. I also realized that this work is not our work it is God's, and if we follow every tool and do everything we can, God will harvest - not us. Our work isn't ours. It's God's. We are just instruments!! When I did that, we had more success then I could of even thought!! We put 18 dates for baptism had 12 (inv) people at church, and had 22 lessons with a member (before I had never had more then 9 dates, and 5 people in church and 9 lessons with a member) God really is preparing his children!!! Yeah I might feel tired out of my mind every day, but I know that I'm doing the lords work :)
I love you guys
Love Elder Davenport
