That has been my slogan since I came to Africa. I am grateful for mercy though, especially from the sickness I have been battling. I still have a few side-affects but for the most part, I am full of strength and work. We have been working very hard. The Elders have been very lazy previously, and instilling an attitude of work has been my main goal. We ran into a few difficulties that set us back (and I will make mention of them next week after a few more things get sorted,) but we have seen great progress so far. Our teaching pool has gone from 7 to over 17 with plenty of other new investigators that have great potential and great preparedness. It has been good knowing that all the fruits that come forth will be entirely from my own labors, and not those of previous missionaries, but the prospect is hard, and without the help and direction from the Lord I don't think I could do it. I was reading the 26th chapter of Alma and the words of Ammon inspired me to work even harder. I don't have much to say other than that I am working. Luckily the weather has taken a turn for the better, and it has rained for the past 5 days. I'm so very grateful for the relief in my time of sickness. It makes the stress of my new responsibility much easier to bear...
I am well and very thankful for all that I have been given and blessed with. I am very grateful for the love and support you provide. I love you all.
--Elder Davidson
