April 26, 2015 Another Baptism!!

So this week we had a baptism! It was super awesome because the dad wouldn't let her get baptised but then we talked to him and he let her get baptised!! :D 

Also my companion is having some family issues so if you guys could pray for him that would be awesome :)

Hey Well I mean I could tell you guys I walked in the sun alot, ate lots of tortillas, ate lots of chiles, and got yelled at by drunks, but that happens a lot haha.

We had a lesson with this one family that was super special, We knocked on the door, and this cute 10 year old daughter answered the door, but the mom isn't interested so told her to not let us in. I get along really good with the girl (we are homies ;)) haha So we talked to her, and I realized that she was super sad, but she wouldn't tell me why she was sad. We taught her about prayer, and that whatever she asks God with faith, it will be given. So she prayed right there on her porch for her dad who had been drinking for weeks and started to cry, and then the mom heard and her heart softened and she let us in. and then the entire family (of 8 including drunk dad) showed up and we taught them, and the mom started to cry, and said she didn't realize that we were the angels God had sent. It was super special. Even though it might be hard for them to go to church because the are super poor and all work Sundays to pay for their dads alcohol..

But I had an amazing week and I love you all. I always am praying for you guys every day.
Love, Elder Davenport
