August 5th 2014 Baptism :)

Another Great Baptism! August 5, 2014

So Girberta got baptised!!!! It was so awesome!!! She was so emotional, and ready to start over a new life. I got to meet her cute little girls for the first time, and I realized that her baptism also is changing that families entire future. So special. And then also that Sunday some guy just showed up to church and  I went to church  in a diffrent state and said he wants to get baptised. And then Fransisco's wife got back and felt super bad that she left and wants to get baptized, so I am hoping her husband (who just received the priesthood will be able to do her baptism!!! I'm so excited!!! They know their goal and that is to enter the temple!!! :D I'm so excited for them.

 I also had to give a zone conference too! To be honest that was a little scary haha because it wasn't like a talk or a district meeting or even teaching members. It was a bunch of missionaries who most of them have more time in the mish and are secretly judging your every move! haha but it went awesome!!! It was fun and my zone seems way cool. Just a couple of rule breaking district leaders with  20 monthes are the only problems because they don't like the idea of a missonary with only year above them.. ahh oh well. I will have to earn their love some how haha but had divisions or exchanges with one of them and we got along way good so liitle bit at a time right?? haha

Anyways I am going to have a year.. wow! that was fast. What have I learned.. Well I have learned alot!! and I have changed a lot. I wouldn't say changed. I would more say gotten better. I'm still JD. I just am a better JD. haha And I know that the most important thing in the entire world is your relationship with God. And how you show your love for God is what really counts.

Love you guys

Love Elder Davenport

Another Baptism! July 27,2014

So a little about my week. It was awesome!!! Had a baptism!!! Heck yeah. His name is Fransisco. The most prepared baptism I have ever seen. He was so ready. We didn't even have to teach him anything. But his wife got cold feet to get baptised and bailed to Mexico a week before the baptism but he was like I am getting baptised even if you aren't here. So he got baptised. And his wife feels bad and is coming back next week to get baptised too :D They still want to get married in the temple, So I am really excited for them.

We are expecting another baptism from one of the most amazing people ever. Her name is Girberta. She is 37. Can't read. Her son just got shot and killed (was 14). Her entire life she has been abused. People just steal from her just because she can't count. Like she should of got paid like 15 dollars a day and instead they would give her 15 dollars a week (for 12 hours everyday) It is so aweful she has 4 kids and the dad left her and the members have taken her in and are starting to teach her how to read and are finding her good jobs and stuff like that. She has gone to church 6 times but because she is really slow and can't read the book of mormon my comp didn't want her to get baptised even though she has been begging us to allow her to follow Christ and get baptised.. But I finally talked to pres and he said to baptise her so if everything goes good she should get baptised :D

lOVE YOU GUYS

LOVE ELDER DAVENPORT :D
