May 8, 2015 Did I Say Another Baptism? Oh Yeah! How GREAT Is That?
Hey, so this week, kind of, was awesome!! and kind of sucked.. so we had our getting super awesome - we had a baptism planned out and the ward is doing awesome and we had like 5 baptisms planned. But then Sunday came and got transferred..
And they sent me away to another struggling area.. haha oh well, also, in my generation there are like 30 missionaries leaving so they are closing like 15 areas.. so what they did is they paired off all the "dieing" missionaries and sent them off to all the areas they are going to end.. kind of sucks. I'm on my old zone haha in the hardest area in the zone.. with a comp who is a little disanimated.. (from my generation. He actually was my companion a year and half ago. He is a super cool guy :) I'm really excited we are going to go out with a bang :)
Oh Messias got baptized. It was a huge fight, but he finally got the courage to stand up to his mom to get baptized :)

May 30, 2015 Love Baptisms!!! Love Sealings!! Love These People!!!
Ok, this week was AWESOME!!! :D So to start off, our recent convert family fulfilled a year, and we gave them the temple lessons, and after a few weeks to clear every thing up they got sealed!! :D So special! I got to invite the missionaries who baptized them (my excomp Elder Muir), and they came all the way to see it. It was SO special to watch them get sealed to their two little kids. gosh it was the best feeling, and then they just started crying. It was the coolest feeling ever :)
Also my investigator Messias, whose parents threatened to kick him out of the house 3 months ago, is going to get baptized today at 7 :D It was a tough battle to get him to get baptized, but he finally will do it :)
Also found this family of 3 who accepted a date to get baptized, and then they went to church and loved it :D Super golden! They have 4 little tiny kids too who all loved it.
Above are great photos of our missionaries and one sad photo of people who need the gospel of Jesus Christ in their lives.
Also umm.. I love you guys :DD

On a roll! Celia's Baptism - May 18, 2015
So this week Celia got baptized!! :D It's actually a super cool story!! She has listened to 50 missionaries over the course of like 10 years (her kids are members), but she lived a very lost life. haha She and her husband weren't loyal. she at work would help drug her clients haha. She drank, and drank alot of coffee. But then she just felt that she needed to change. And we showed up, and she was like I want to get baptized. Tell me what I have to do and then tell me a day, and I will get baptized!! So we told her what she had to do and then she just changed. It was super hard for her but she made a 360 degree change, accepted the gospel, and now is super awesome :D
Um we, also, almost got jumped by a crazy drunk. haha (first time I actually almost got attacked haha) He was like fighting people on the street, and then he yelled kill the gringo and ran at me. haha. But then I shook his hand, and he forgot he wanted to kill me haha funny.
Love you guys!!

May 3, 2015 Mother's - They Are Great!!
Hey so this week first of all thank you for your prayers as my comp is doing alot better now. He had some family problems. But he is alot better.
So this week or the next week, we are going to help seal another family!! He just barely completed a year and we have been helping them alot. and they are super excited to get sealed!! This family is also the converts of one of my companions Elder Muir. Who was like my best friend.
So we found this girl named Elizabeth she has this little tiny baby, and is like 18, and has a really immature inactive member boyfriend, Who doesn't treat her very well. But this girl is amazing. She is golden, and then she came early to church with her little baby, and then the next week she brought her boyfriend, and then we stopped by, and they accepted a day to get married :)
So I love you all. Also in my ward the attendance rate has now doubled :D The lord is really hastening his work
HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!!! Hey make your mom have the best mothers day ever!! And realize everything she has done for you.
I love moms :D But I have THE greatest mother ever!!
AND I LOVE HER SO MUCH :D
I love you mom
Love, Elder Davenport
