Josephina's Baptism - Great Lady!!! Dec 7. 2014




Another Baptism! Yahoo December 6, 2014

Hey, how are you guys doing??
Me. I am chill and well just kicking it here in Mexico. 

Anyways, A little bit about my week!! 

So this week JOSEFINA GOT DUNKED!!! She really had one hard week though, which always happens the week of a baptism. Her 14 year old daughter in law just decided she didn't want to take care of the baby so Josefina decided she was going to take in the baby til the girl decides to accept the life she chose, and stopped working. Plus her daughter who is a member got in a big fight with her, and she was super sad and depressed and wasn't going to get baptized, but then this women decided to show her faith in God and go through with the baptism even with all the problems that she was having. Then like a miracle  happened the day of her baptism. Everything came together, and she fixed things with her daughter and her daughter in law decided to take care of the baby again. and then she had an awesome baptism. and then to top things off the Hermana Mago who we have been fighting, to get her baptised (she was the one that was scared of her family and she still worshipped the virgen and drank coffee).  Well she received her answer, stopped drinking coffee, and talked to her sister and family who said they would sopport her for her baptism!! And then she saw Josefina's baptism and now she is going to get baptized this week :D Yeah super excited plus she has a family of like 40 living with her, and since she is the boss or the grandma of every one, I think that they will follow her example :D I am so excited!. We have the Christmas concert coming up again (this year Im NOT going to be a tree.. ) haha but alls good in zion 

Love you guys :D

Love Elder Davenport

Busy Week - November 29.2014

 
Alrighty, this week was a pretty good week. We had a reward week! haha! We have been grinding it out, and finally the blessings came. We finally got Juana to church. Her "husband" finally moved out, and her Little kids are finally all going to church together! It's intersting because these kids are like devils when they don't go to church .haha! Well they have probably the worst examples ever! haha! Their brother, who was raised by her ex husband, grew up exactly like his dad, and now he has two kids at 19, and beats his kids and his wife, and is the meanest guy in the world to his wife and well everyone.  Mago is getting better. The only thing that's holding her back from baptism is her family. They are saying that if she gets baptized they will stop talking to her.. but she says she is almost ready to take the step. Sister Josefina has really stepped it up. She has had a lot of problems. Her kids' girlfriend Melany (barely turned 15) just had a baby, and it means that Josefina has to take care of two little girls. The new infant and also Melany who acts like any 14 year old girl. haha! You guys know how it is haha, but yeah she is holding strong, and says she wants to get baptized this Saturday!!! I'm really excited!! We also found this awesome kid named Jesús. He is a stud. He went to church the day after we found him. We are actually having alot of success, but the thing is getting these people to go to church 5 times!! Gosh sometimes its super hard, haha, but oh well. Do what you got to do!
I'm happy, and I hope you are all happy too :)
Love JD
