Another Week... or Twelve in Paradise
transfers are here again, and we just recieved the news that I will be staying in Daveyton to see Elder Mcknight through the rest of his mission. That means I will be here for another 12 weeks guaranteed, and 18 if I will be training... That is ok with me. We have been gathering weights from around the mission, and we have nearly 200 pounds, a set of dumbells,a straight bar, and an iron gym. We have set a work out plan, and things seeem to be going well. We also found some cheap harmonicas and we have been learning the hymns...the good ones at least. Most of our free time is spent playing music.
Imentioned a few weeks ago about some stoners that we had been teaching, and they have turned out to be some of the best investigators I have ever had. They keep their commitments, they read, they pray, they have come to church, and their understanding of what they receive is astounding. We are told to teach the honest seekers of the truth, and we found a whole gang of them, though two of them, Potatop and Arabi, stand out as the most progressing. We are teaching the word of wisdom next week... We'll see how that goes. I feel that we will be able to get them though, it's just a matter of time. They have also been inviting more and more of their friends to be apart of our lessons.
The month of September looks to be big for baptisms. We have been preparing most of them since I arrived here in Daveyton, and they all seem to have worked out their problems. I guess time always tells, but I feel that Elder Mcknight will go home on a very high note. Things are going very smoothly, and I have been feeling great, so I hope things are going well on the other side of the world.
--Much Love,
Elder JW DAvidson
