Merry Christmas

Hello every one and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Sorry for not emailing last week but My pday was on Christmas and the only computer shop open was one that the internet was so slow we could hardly get one email to our family to make sure they'd answer if we called and  a regular report to the mission president. I am just going to kinda breeze by some of the days that not much happened and focus on the days where the most happened and I saw the Lord's hand the most.

Last week was the average week but so much harder because everyone was on vacation for Christmas so no one was home and none of our investigators were able to really have a lesson most of the time. Friday however we had the branch Christmas party so we helped set up and prepare for that we then had an awesome Christmas party.  We then spent the rest of the week being denied so ya that was fun low stats week but still amazing to see the Lords hand in my life every day no mater what I did. 

This week was great. Monday we had our regular District meeting then in the evening we went caroling that was so much fun. President Bangal had suggested a district activity on Christmas eve so we went caroling as a zone and had fun and lots of people loved it we had lots of good reception and we had fun going house to house singing the hymns about the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. 

Then Tuesday was Christmas. I loved this holiday before my mission now I love It even more. I got to Talk with my family on face chat that was so nice and actually didn't make me home sick at all. We got to spend the day having fun and being together with the other missionaries.

The other days we tried visiting people but once again had people were to busy to be able to visit so we didn't get very many lessons  but then on Thursday we had probably one of the best findings in the world for me. We started into Santol and went off the main road a little bit we were visiting with some people and we look up a hill a little bit to see a house with people waving and shouting when they see us at one point we visit the house just before the hill. It being a little later so we were discussing weather to start walking back because it was a long walk. I suggested lets go just up to this next house and talk with them. We walk up the hill to be greeted at the gait with a wall of people all supper exited to see us then they read my name tag and they got even more exited one ran up to me. Mister Davis? I said yes that's my name Elder Davis. That's your last name? Yes that's my last name. They got so exited she had met and married a American named George Lorence Davis. I started getting exited we kept on talking. They were supper exited to meet us and accepted a message and wanted to feed us dinner we politely declined saying that we had people we needed to visit. They said that we should come back for New Years and then after our message arranged to have their brother drive us down to our next appointment on there family trike. It was so nice they are supper exited for us to return and want to hear our message So yes I am supper exited for them they will be a great investigators hopefully. 

But other than the one really good finding It was just the average week just a lot harder because no one would listen.

37 Behold I say unto you, Nay; for it is by faith that miracles are wrought; and it is by faith that angels appear and minister unto men; wherefore, if these things have ceased wo be unto the children of men, for it is because of unbelief, and all is vain.  I know that often It Is hard to act because your not 100 percent sure about something but I know that If you Act in faith and do those things commanded of the lord and take the next step such as meeting with the missionaries or being baptized and all the other things that we need to do that are hard you will be blessed and see miracles in your own life

Thank you every one
