So i sent that last message to see if you are online? I love love
love love love time 210000000 love the MTC! I am exactly where the Lord
wants me, and that is a great feeling. So my companion is elder Todd.
He's great. He's kind and we are working hard, I have to push him so we
can work harder but it is great. The second day we were here we taught a
lesson to an investigator all in Tagalog. It was amazing, we got to use
notes, but then the next day we taught him again BUT WITH NO NOTES!
Absolutely incredible! I am speaking Tagalog and understanding
Tagalog... somewhat. But it is not me... it truely is a portion of the
Gift of Tongues. Words and Phrases come to my mind that are to
compllicated for me to remember on my own. Miseyonero po ako ang
Simbahan Ni Jesucristo ng mga Banal sa mga Huling Araw. It rolls off the
tongue doesn't it? My companion is blond, big and six four... we will
stand out in the Philippins like Uncle Bob in a White crowd (joklang). I
Love it here. I am working hard. I truely can feel your prayers. The
family motivates me to work hard. When I get discouraged I just think of
one of you, especially Grandpa and I know what I have to do WORK WORK
WORK! And I will be blessed. I have never felt the spirit as often as I
have in the MTC. Oh and I was made district leader, so I have to go to a
lot of meeting and don't get to study as much as I'd like but it is a
great oportunity to serve. I am in such a rush. I hope you know I love
all of you. I am leaving my family for 2 years so others can be with
their families for ETERNITY. I work 16 hour days EVERYDAY for two years
because I know this church is true. NO other reason. Because God has
asked me to. Sorry if i'm preachy...i'm a missionary... kinda what we
do. Mahal Kita! Tell the anaks I love them! I am happy, I am learning, I
am witnessing miracles- literally! I am exactly where Jesus Christ
would have me. I am His representative.
I'm not sure if our investigator is an actor or not. They tell us
he is real- either way he is real to us. My companion and I committed
him to baptism last night. So amazing! HE SAID OP! That means yes.
hahaha. So i don't have much time- I need to go study and WORK and be
obedient! I love you all! Also you should "dear elder" me. ask markee
how to do it. That way I can read whatever you send the day you send it.
and then I can just reply to you on p-day. Rather than read and reply.
SIGI? OKAY? I love you, and I love this work even though it is hard. I
AM A MISSIONARY FOR THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS.
FINALLY! Mahal Kita!
Elder Davis
p.s. I did see elder larson and ciminski and Bigelow and Tons of BYU friends.
