April 27, 2014 - It Is Going Fast

My week was a crazy week!! My ward has so many problems. All the members just fight every day, and people are slowly stopping to come to church. Our mission leader just said he wants nothing to do with the church, and stopped coming to church and refuses to talk to any member. We are still working super hard, but now we are about to have more people in sacrament meeting who aren't members then members. It's really frustrating, and I'm pretty stressed out... but we found a miracle person!!

We were contacting people, and we found this girl who had been going to church, but the missionaries couldn't baptise her because she was going to the wrong ward( not the one in her area), and the missionaries forgot to pass the reference, so she just never got baptised!! But she went to church 6 times, so she wants to get baptised next week!! WOO! I'm pumped! 1 hope it pans out!!

We found 30 new investigators this week who seem way cool! but all we need is for the members to quit fighting and help us out. Oh and I also had an awkard lesson where the mom (Bishop's wife) started bathing her 13 year old daughter, naked right in front of us.... Sometimes I ask my self where the freak am I?   hahaha  It was suuuuupper awkward ,and weird. We had to end that lesson and leave fast hahahaha....

Yeah but everything is good with me. Send my love to Grandpa Wengreen:( hope everything is alright with him I will be praying for him.

Love, Elder Davenport

Easter in Mexico

Well this week was a little better!! but.. we now had more less actives at church then our active members!! My members are starting to get lazy!! We had 5 priesthood holders at church including us....  But we found two, way cool families this week who seem pretty interested in the gospel!!! I'm way excited for them!! Oh, and then for Easter week, we had about the most apostate things I have every seen: Giant Virgin Mary Parades with people worshipping Virgin Mary and huge crosses as they cry and get wasted... satan has such a hold over the mass majority of people. Churchs here are now teaching to stay away from men in white shirts and ties.... This land is so apostate!! But I am seeing some small miracles every day :) We had these two awesome investigators come to church this week, and they seem way excited!!! So I am just going to do the best I can and put my faith in God. and hope for the best...

Anyways love you guys thank for the letters I wish I had more time to write every one of you back :)

This week was tough.. I found a lot of new investigators ,and had a ton of lessons. Remember how my goal was to beat 30 lessons and 10 news?? haha I seriously haven't had under 40 lessons and 10 news a week in like 10 weeks. My goals were so low. But this week we had 56 lessons and 18 news. But honestly I hate how people keep saying it was awesome because we had no one at church and all the menos less actives we got back to church didn't come back, and now we just had a bunch of new menos activos and none of my investigators came to church.. I was so bumbed... Like that's the only thing I focus on, and they all told me they wanted to go worshipp the dead ( there was a worship the dead holiday last Sunday where everyone worships the dead and gets hammered drunk..). oh well I am going to get them to church this week, haha and I also plan to contact everyone I talk to. I am also going to really put my faith in the Lord because I realize that with out his help, I can't do anything..

Well I love you guys. Keep working hard at wahat you do!!! Don't give in for a second. Do the best you can at everything.

April 6, 2014 Birthday of Our Savior, Anniversary of the Beginning of Our Church

About my week!!! So this week is a week of a lot of trials! So my way cool little kid who wants to get dunked's (cute Elder D) mom doesn't want him to get baptized because he is 9, and he needs to wait tell he is 12 even though she is a member too.. Freak! It broke my heart.. We are still working on them so we will see. My sick bro Josue got dunked this Sunday! He was so excited! even though not a single member came to the baptism. They all said they had better things to do.. Yeah and to top it off the Bishop was pissed because the kid asked him if I could baptize him instead of the Bishop.. oh well.. but little by little I guess right? haha Not a lot happened this week but the baptism

Loved conferenced too .Elder Erying was sick!!! Makes sure you guys all read those talks!! :) I love you guys please tell Grampa Wengreen that I will be praying for him and I hope he is alright..

Love, Elder Davenport
