May 25,2014 - Wow, What a Week!!!!

So now a little about some of my experiences!!! First of all!!! I found my ex mission leader wasted on the street... yeah that sucked.. haha and then I talked to my comp, got him on my side, and then we went ham. we just went to all the members houses, and just told them that they were going to stop messing around, and help us resurrect the ward, and then we just brought them to meet our investigators, and had them invite them to church, and then we just put in the grind the rest of the week, and went and picked up a little boy, and then we walked into the church building expecting to see an empty chapel with out our members or our investigators but then I kid you not, the chapel had 50 people in it, and 12 of our investigators!!!! Sitting with members!!! I almost cried!! 

One of our really tough families whose dad drinks, and beats the kids and cheats on his wife showed up and seriously were like so excited and also our Jehovah Witness and our Jew (he decided he was a jew haha) showed up along with alot of our awesome investigators. So exciting it only took 3 months of suffering in this little patch of dead ground but now I have seen this ward get changed around!!! I am SOOOO excited!! but now I just need to help these people get in the water!

Yeah it was an awesome week and I freaking am excited. I love you guys please be safe!

My week was awesome!!! My ward is starting to help me a lot, but we still need more help to have the success we need.

We have 70 investigators about 20 way cool people, but they just won't go to church. Well about more then half won't go... we need our members to help us out, but they are "too busy" or are always having problems among them selves. Oh and my comp doesn't like the amount of work we have been doing, and says he is too tired to work at such a pace, and doesn't want to help me out, and says if I don't take a step back he won't help me.. freak.. We get along well, but he just doesn't seem to like how I work.. But we are doing our best. hopefully we can be on the same page this week.

Hope dad is doing all right.. will pray for him.

Love you guys, 

Love Elder Davenport

This week was so up and down! We are so close to having alot of really awesome progressing investigators, but alot of things that we had no control happened.. so that was tough. It's just like one second of the day is like wow that was awesome, we are going to have a lot of success, and then the other half is like dang that sucked, we have no one, haha, but in the end God always has our back with a small miracle to lift our spirits! Just realized that one of our coolest investigators is a muslim, and is wife is a Jehovah Witness which are the two most impossible people to convert so yeh I am excited. Hope that turns out good!! But besides that I am still really dirty all the time. I am just waiting for a day to shower with clean water haha. I am tempted to go buy some bottled water, and fill up a bucket and use that haha, but its not that bad but still I am sweating buckets and still here doing the best I can every day! 

PS I LOVED TALKING TO YOU GUYS :)

Week Before Mother's Day 2014

The Miracle girl?..  Well she didn't pan out. We are working on her next week because her mom told her to go to the goma if she gets baptised  which basically means she will disown her.. so that sucked.. But we had the most people that this ward has had at church since at least a year ago  So that was awesome!!!1 My ward is getting a little bit more excited to help us out now. Here in Mexico the only way to have success is through the members, and they sre starting to help out al ittle so we will see what happens. Here in this land of endless sun and sweating, we are just working the hardest we possibly can, and hoping that God blesses us. And to be honest I can see that God is blessing us with small miracles every day!! :)

Love, Elder Davenport

OH AND HAPPY MOTHERS DAY :))))
