I hope this means diligence!!!

Holy or holey shoes???

Howdy Howdy! 

      This week was great! We got to teach a lot this week which always makes it a great week! Our investigators are progressing AWESOMELY! Elder Datu and I are some happy campers in our work here in Naga! We are enjoying the work and finishing Elder Datu's last nine weeks stronger than ever! He's got nine weeks and I have nine months- neither of us want to waist that time! We are doing great- Elder Datu truly is like a brother to me.

        I wrote another mission poem this last week, I will  include it into my letter and I hope you enjoy it. I can still remember quite vividly my first day in Naga. I remember when the announcement was made on who was going to be my trainer. The announcement was that Elder Vogelsberg was to be my trainer. Our names were called and we sat down by each other and that was the first time I saw his shoes. I was sitting there comparing his TERRIBLY worn out shoes to NEW my shiny black shoes. I knew I had a long way to go before I was to be a missionary like Elder Vogelsberg. One of the very first things I told him was, "We need to get some mud on these shoes." There is no substitute for work in missionary work. So this one is for Tatay Vogelsberg, I owe a lot to him. He helped me so much in my mission and in my life. Also, shout out, my batch-mate, SIster Christensen, gave me the "I think the Lord likes worn out shoes" line. So if shoes could talk. . . 

“How Beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings…”

Isaiah 52:7

By: Elder Chantz Davis

Philippines Naga Mission

I heard once that Lord likes worn out shoes

I even think it makes Him smile

For with the wear and tear that comes

Conversion takes place of style.

So if you only knew my story

Why I look the way I do

I think you’d change your view about me

‘Bout being “Just an old nasty pair of shoes.”

For I was once black and shiny

And I looked pretty sharp with a suit

But I been through a bit since then

And now these dress shoes have tuned into boots

I know the life of a missionary

And even better the life of his shoes

Because I am the shoes of a missionary

And we’ve been about everywhere declaring this good news

I got to see most of the lessons

When the family only had a dirt floor

But when they had cement or tile

I was left listening at the door

And listening was just terrible at first

I remember his language when I first heard him try

But I saw his tongue get loosed

As the miles and miles went by

My sole continued to wear daily

And the holes have grown so fast

This mission has passed so quickly

I don’t know where the time has passed

They arrive in the field quite the same

Missionaries and their shoes so new

Both fresh, both clean both ready to go

But neither knowing what they’re about to go through.

Yes it’s true missionaries and their shoes arrive the same

But they go home quite different you’ll find

One’s battered and beaten and torn to shreds

While the other goes home refined

And though battered and beaten are the soles of these shoes

And I feel bad that he can feel the rocks with his toes

I know the thinner and thinner my sole gets

The more my missionary’s soul grows.

So yes I think the Lord likes worn out shoes

I think it makes Him smile

For with the wear and tear that comes

Conversion takes place of style.

      Anyway I like the poem. Here in the Philippines you take off shoes when you go into people's homes, unless they only have dirt floors, which is often the case. I feel more comfortable in a dirt floor some times than I do in a big house. I hope we all count our blessings. We have so many in our lives. I am always amazed and impressed at these people here, they are always happy. Life is much to short to not be happy. No matter what our circumstances are, we can be happy and we can count our blessings. Anywho I hope you enjoyed the poem, I aint much of a poet- but I dabble. 

       We are teaching some amazing people right now. We have one investigator where when we get there we just say, "Well what are YOU going to teach US today!?" We give her reading assignments and when we come back and ask her how it was she basically bears her testimony to us of all the things we want to teach her! She is so spiritually sensitive. In our second appointment with her we had just got there and she told us how she believes everything we taught and is confident that it is true. She then told us, this is the second visit mind you, that she would like to serve a mission so she can tell this truth to other people! Is that not awesome!?! She is living in a house with some members here and she reads and prays about the Book of Mormon everyday! It is awesome to hear her testimony. All it takes is a desire to know, a seed of faith, reading and praying and anyone will say what she told us, "I KNOW it is true by the power of the Holy Ghost." She is awesome! I love my mission. Her name is Joy by the way. I can tell you how awesome my mission is! I love what we teach, I love who we teach, I love what effects our teaching has on these people's lives and on my life. The only thing I don't love is it has an expiration date. But not really, my mission will never really be over for me. Anyway thank you for your prayers for us and for the people we are teaching they are progressing so well and most importantly they are "Coming unto Christ." There is nothing more satisfying than fulfilling your purpose as a missionary! 

      We have two super busy weeks ahead of us here in the mission. It is exciting, I just hope we get to teach a lot still in those few weeks. Well, I don't have too much time, surprise surprise! I hope all is well in your lives. I hope we are all reading from the scriptures everyday, praying everyday and going to church every week and striving to be Christ-like always. 

        I hope BYU beats Utah next week. We have some U fans and some Y fans here in the mission and I really don't want to hear it from them. So let me know how the games goes next week, but I am sure President Reeder will let me know before that- he's a die hard BYU fan too! Anyways have a great week. Keep being missionaries to everyone! What you have to say is important and true, don't be scared to testify. Love you all so much and I am thankful for your prayers! 

Elder Davis

President and Sister Reeder.

Dear Sister Davis, I received my first package since I arrived here in the Philippines, and what a wonderful surprise to see such a beautiful necklace when I opened the package. Thank you so much! I will treasure it forever! It will always remind me of the Naga Mission and the wonderful memories I will forever cherish. I have worn it several times already and have had many compliments. You and Elder Davis are so thoughtful. I want to take this time to tell you how much we love your son. Elder Davis is a great example to all who know him. If you can imagine when we arrived over two months ago how overwhelmed we felt. President Reeder met with President Bliesner for a little over two hours and then off he went. President Bliesner said he had full confidence in the Assistance to help President Reeder. Well they, Elder Datu and Elder Davis have been such a blessing in helping the transition. As Elder Davis conducts meetings, teaches, and bears a powerful testimony, you feel his love and dedication he has for the Savior. He truly knows and loves our Savior. I love to hear him share experiences in the different area’s he has served in. He puts a big smile on his face as he speaks of the members and investigators he so loves. I feel at times we have worn him out…..but he still smiles and keeps going, what a hard worker. Elder Davis and Elder Datu have a special friendship, and oh how they make us smile. Elder Davis speaks very highly of his family. Thank you for sharing him with us. I hope one day our paths cross and we are able to meet. May the Lord continue to bless you and your family. Thank you again for the beautiful necklace. With Love, Sister Reeder

A favorite family

Hey there, This was a good week- and a fast week. So it was a great fast week like all 104 weeks of a mission. It goes by too fast. So before I say anything else I messed up last week haha- I told you that President Ardern was coming for Stake Conference but he is not/ did not, he is coming for a Mission Tour next transfer. It is going to be really great to have him and his wife in the mission. But we have a lot to do to get ready for that. But thanks for your prayers thinking I had to translate for President Ardern haha. We got to teach quite a bit this week which was AWESOME! Yesterday we were teaching a lesson and the person we are teaching wants to learn English so they told me to teach in English for this one lesson! I AM OFFICIALLY TERRIBLE IN ENGLISH! I can't teach in English. I am BY FAR more comfortable teaching the Gospel in Tagalog than I am in English. Filipinos have a saying when it is hard to either speak or understand a language they say, "Nose Bleed" I was "Nose Bleeding" hard yesterday in English haha. I don't know what it is about teaching in English but it is hard. I give workshops in English and anything- but in teaching- I am NOSE BLEEDING IT UP in English. Dumudugo and ilong ko! I love my mission- I think I say that all the time but I love it! This past week we were in a meeting with President and I asked if I could extend one more transfer on my mission haha. And Mom guess what he said- he said . . . no. :( haha He said, "Elder Davis if I allowed you to stay one more transfer on your mission your mother would be on the next plane to Naga and she'll bring her shot gun and shoot me." So even though I really want to have 6 months after my time here in the office it looks like I am not going to get it. Why does my Mom love me so much haha? It is your fault Mom that I don't get the extension haha. I knew it was a long shot anyway. Ammon was lucky- he served for 14 years! So since I have no cool stories to tell you because I am stuck in an office haha- that is just a joke I am learning a lot here and I enjoy it. But since I am not in the field I will have to tell you about my friend from BYU! He is serving in Bolivia and due to all the new missionaries they, like us, are sending missionaries quite literally to the ends of the world! I am so jealous of him. He proselytes in JEANS and BOOTS. He walks 6 hours every week go get to a place with internet and grocery! And they spend 20 hours a week in service- in the corn and garlic fields! Does that not sound like a paradise!?! Plantin corn in a name tag would be awesome! Anyway we email quite a bit and we are both super jealous of each other I think haha. Guys I am boring. Haha not really but I have no AWESOME stories to tell you this week. But I can tell you this- the church is true. Yesterday we attended the Stake Conference in Naga and it struck me how the Book of Mormon has the same effect on people no matter where they are from. I know that Joseph Smith did not write that book. We had people sitting outside because we couldn't fit them all in the big stake center. I don't think we realize sometimes how blessed we are. Living in remembrance of what we know is a hard thing to do but it is important to do. I read a talk by President Hinckley this last week, and he told a story of a man who was studying in the states and became converted to the gospel of Jesus Christ. When it was time for the man to leave President Hinckley asked him if was willing to make such a great sacrifice of joining the church because he would be disowned by his family and basically his country. The man responded, "It's true; isn't it? What else matters?" How awesome is that? When you know it is true- not much else matters. When you know it is true, a little Filipino lady will give up a lot of money to travel to church. I love this Gospel, I love teaching it. I love seeing the impact is has on people, once they know it is true. They believe that a 14 year old boy, from a place they don't know, saw God the Father and Jesus Christ and that God called him to be a prophet just like in olden days. They know it is true. We know it is true. What else is important? Anyway I have places to go and people to see and the Gospel to preach! Also warning- I am deadly close to finishing a poem about my trainer in the mission- Elder V-berg! I love you all a bushel. We are working hard and loving it! Thank you for your prayers, I always pray for you! Keep sharing the Gospel and be happy always. OH I ALMOST FORGOT, Elder Datu and I got a parking ticket earlier today! That stunk. There is a saying here that says, "All the illegal is legal in the Philippines" but apparently that's not always true haha. But it's not a big deal, we already took care of it. Brother Willy, the guard at the mission home, took us to the place and we paid it off. Brother Willy is the best guy in the world, I will miss him as much as I miss anyone! Elder Davis- Sorry for the boring week haha.

BERRRRRRRRRRR months doesn't mean cold.....

WE'RE IN THE BERRRRRR MONTHS!

      Can you believe it is SeptemBER! Here in the Philippines once you hit the BER months: SeptemBER, OctoBER, ect it is PWEDE NA to start the Christmas Spirit! Yesterday was September FIRST and we sang a Christmas Song in Sacrament and another one Sunday school and Elder Datu and I listen to it in the car haha. There are already some Christmas lights out on Panganiban Drive haha! Is that not an awesome cultural quan!? I think we should adapt to the "Ber Months." It is never to early to get into the Christmas Spirit! Anyway the time is flying by and I already know Christmas will be here before I know it. 

      This week was so magulo! It seemed like everyday we were traveling somewhere, it was a bit frustrating because we weren't able to teach as much but it was still a rewarding week. We had three missionaries finish their missions last week and they were pretty impressive. Return missionaries have some strong testimonies. We also had 29 FRESH missionaries! That means we had to open up 13 new areas- that is not an easy thing to do haha. Next transfer will be a little easier but still not easy. We just keep getting further and further out in the boonies! I hope when I leave the office I will be opening a BRAND NEW area way out there. 

      We had to travel to one of those new and far areas this week- TWICE. The first time I was more scared than I have ever been on my mission. I won't mention where we went or who I was scared of but it was a far area where foreigners aren't allowed to be assigned. This is a brand new area- as in the first sacrament meeting will be held in the missionaries apartment in like two weeks! Awesome no? Anyway we dropped off the Elders there and it was night time. Everyone there was asking us super creepy questions and THEY looked scared for us. There have been some hold up on the roads there before. And Elder Datu and I were fairly convinced that we had a 50 percent chance of getting held up on the road. One of the friends of the missionaries told us before we left, "Do not stop for anything." We were scared, but we prayed and made it our safe and sound. Anyway we aren't allowed to travel there at night anymore. There is a risk of kidnapping there. So it is a good thing my mom is a worry-wart and prays for my safety everyday. 

       I saw Tatay Abner yesterday! If you don't remember who Tatay Abner is he is an investigator we taught in Ocampo. He went to church at my ward yesterday! He calls the mission office every two or tree weeks and chats with me haha. Yesterday he came to church in Canaman! He is still one of my favorite people I have met here, he also is the one that causes me the most sadness. He is still as hard as ever haha. He just can't seem to "apply his heart to learning." But I love him anyway. We got to chat for a while and he sat with me for the whole three hours. I have lost MUCH hope about him ever becoming a member in this life but every time I see him I ponder about what our conversation will be like in the next life. Anyway it was good to see him. Me and him are buds- not as close as me and Gramps are buds though. 

       Also this week I FINALLY got my TIRE SANDALS! Aren't those awesome!?! Those things will last me the rest of my life- and they are comfortable even though they don't look it. The best part was it cost me just over 2 bucks! Filipinos can make cool stuff out of nothing! I am still going to do some things to the sandals to make them even cooler. I am sure I like them more than anyone else likes them but that is a good thing. 

       Next week we have Stake Conference right here in Naga! President Ardern of the Area Presidency will be coming, which should be fun. He came when I was in Goa and that was awesome. One thing that might not be awesome is I might have to translate for him- yucks! Elder Vogelsberg had to translate for him when he came to Goa. That is some pressure haha. I hope I don't have to do it. But this week should be great- all weeks are. I am still loving my mission, I am happy, and I love the Reeders.

       This is a pretty short letter. But that is okay. Time is flying by here. It goes by so quickly. Also just an FYI I am writing a poem about missionary's shoes. It comes from Tatay Vogeslberg's shoes. I hope you guys like it. It could be a while or a month or a transfer before I finish it- we hardly have anytime for that. We usually get home pretty late. Well I love you all. Eagar looks beautiful, I am grateful we are getting rain there but I am jealous that you are enjoying it while I am not. The church is true everybody, it really is- so what else really matters?

Elder Davis

P.S. Question of the Day- Why does the Bible end? Think about that one... 

      

Perhaps the first white guy these kids have seen!

Tatay Abner - stubborn but still buds!

Tire sandals!

Tough life!

Anyone recognize these 2?

No thank you!!!

Howdy Howdy!

       Well, this week was great- but I didn't get to go to Pasacao so it wasn't as amazing as last week haha. I am way jealous that Eagar is so green and beautiful right now, this is the best time of year to be in Eagar. But let's be real, anytime of year is a great time to be in Eagar, maybe not a "beautiful" time in Eagar, but a great time in Eagar. Eagar is a little slice of heaven. But speaking of heavenly lugars, The Philippines is STINKING AWESOME! I am still convinced that I will have a harder time with my transfer back to America than I will with my transfer to The Philippines. Anyway this week was good, and it went by SO FAST! All weeks go by so fast!

        This past week was the last week of the transfer which means we are BUSY! We did all our Transfer Planning and Travel Planning this week and it was super time consuming. It is fun work, but nothing beats missionary work- actually hitting the streets and rice fields and preaching the word. It would be safe to say that I miss the regular missionary work, too bad I still have 6 months to be caged in an office haha. It is okay, it is worth it just from all the things I learn from President and Sister Reeder.  But President Reeder knows that I am "field trunky" I am ready to hit the streets again. Anyway this week has been crazy hectic but way fun and I have learned a lot. 

       So as far as cool things go- I ate a goat. Or maybe I should say, I ate goat. I didn't eat a whole goat that is just nonsense. But I did have goat or kambing as it is called in the blessed language of Tagalog. It tastes really good, it is tougher than beef. It is sorta like a beef and pork mix. Anyway now I can say I have eaten goat- can you? Try it some time. 

      So to elaborate a little more on what "transfer and travel plans" mean, that is when President Reeder assigns missionaries to their new areas and assignments and who will train and all that fun stuff. We help and council and suggest things to him about transfers and then when it is finished Elder Datu and I go into the logistics of all these things. How the transfer will work so that no one is left alone and everyone will be using their time wisely and just so that everyone and everything is in the right place at the right time. It takes forever but it took even longer when we weren't split in half yet and when we had two islands to take care of. But it is still pretty complicated especially because we are opening up 13 brand new areas this transfer alone! And all of the missionaries who are opening these areas up are TRAINING! We have so many new missionaries, we are getting flooded with missionaries. It is awesome. The work is going forth faster than ever. We don't know where to put all of these missionaries! 

      The highlight of my week was yesterday after church. We had a great lesson with one of our investigators and invited him to baptism. It was a great lesson and he TIMIDLY accepted the invitation that was given quite boldly haha. Anyways he is progressing and so is his family. Nothing compares to inviting people to come unto Jesus Christ. My Purpose as a missionary is to invite others to come unto Jesus Christ and they do it in the most noticeable way through following Jesus Christ's example and be baptized by immersion with someone holding the proper authority of God. Anytime I am able to invite others to come unto Christ I am a happy happy missionary! When they actually do it, I am BEYOND happy! But I haven't had a day on my mission so far that I am not happy! 

       Just earlier today before I started emailing Elder Datu and I were walking by a store and a man came running behind me, grabbed me by the back, turned me around, and shook my hand like we were old friends. I was shocked, especially because this person was American. I said, sorry but do I know you? Turns out we don't know each other, he just wanted to talk to us. His name is Jimmy from Arkansas! And he talks like a "Jimmy Boy" from Arkansas! Haha he also knows some Sherwoods there apparently. I told him I was related to them and that my buddy Rulon Udall was serving in Arkansas doing the same thing I am doing here. He thought that was pretty cool and so did I, It's a small world. But the most interesting part was he wanted to ask us about the church. He is a very firm member in his religion, which I won't mention, and wanted to know how many missionaries we have in the Philippines. Sadly I didn't know the exact number but I told him how many we had just here in Naga and he was shocked!  He said and I quote, "Sadly my religion doesn't do a lot of things we should do."  He was a very nice man and had a great testimony of Jesus Christ. I was pleased at that, we talked about our belief in Jesus Christ being the number one most important thing and that is true. But he mentioned so many things that he thought wasn't right about his religion. I am so glad I have no doubts about this religion. We wanted to go visit him at his house, because he was staying here in Naga, but he is leaving to go back to the states later on today so we couldn't. He was just lost, he believes in Christ and is a good man- which says a lot I think but you could see it in his eyes that he wants more. Anyway, open your mouth and talk to people about the Gospel. Sometimes they come up to you but sometimes you need to be the one to open your mouths first. Isn't it great to know what we know, and to have what they need. Maybe Rulon will talk to that man in a couple of weeks- that would be  a real small world.

       How do you like the pictures of who used to be Elders Walker and Adair? Someone asked me, "Hey do you know these guys, it says they are from Eagar." I said yes before they said their names. If they are from Eagar- I probably know them haha. Also a district mate of mine from the MTC (Elder Atwood from Australia)  trained Elder Ryder Neilson from St. Johns, cool no?

     Do you see the size of that bug? By my body language you can probably see that I was a bit scared of it- haha the funny thing is Filipinos play with these things like it is nothing. The kids even put strings on it and then they let them fly around in the air. But when they started putting that thing on me (and by put I mean they would throw it on me and where it landed it just sticks to because it's grip is crazy good)  it was basically on my neck at one point and I was squirming they thought that was pretty funny! Big tall massive white guy scared of a "tiny" little bug! 

       Well I don't have much to say this week. We were in the office a lot and we will be in the office a lot this week, we will be training all the trainers and greeting all the new missionaries and send out all the old missionaries and all of that. It should be a good week. But sorry the letter wasn't great. But I do have a favor to ask, I would love it if all of you who read my blog would send me your testimony. Just a quick little testimony. I haven't heard the testimonies of my family members in over a year. I would love to hear them. And all of you who may reads this I would love to hear anything you have to say! I would love it if you could do that. Thanks for that. Well have a great week. Find joy in the journey, life's too short to only be enjoyed in retrospect.

August 18th 2013 LAND OF MY BIRTH???

PASACAO THE LAND OF MY BIRTH! LET'S DO SOME GOOD!

       Almost exactly one year ago I arrived in the Philippines and was assigned in PASACAO with my trainer, Elder Vogelsberg. This past week I got the very luck opportunity of returning to THE LAND OF MY BIRTH, PASACAO! Now, I am a happy person, I always try to smile to people wherever I go, but the day I got to go back to Pasacao I could not keep the smile off my face! It was the happiest day of my mission so far I think. I am so grateful that I got to go work there for a day. We were assigned by President Reeder to go work there and try to help the missionaries in their area. I was quite happy to hear that "assignment." And now I am bugging him to be able to do it one more time because I wasn't able to go see everyone. But anyway it was awesome!

       Elder Datu and I drove into Pasacao, parked at the pier and headed STRAIGHT to Tatay Domingo Banares! Tatay Banares is Elder Vogelsberg's and I's convert there in Pasacao. He has given me more happiness in my mission than any other person has. He is awesome. But we went straight to his house and when he saw me it was like he saw a ghost! He said- ELDER!?! And I couldn't have been happier. It truly was like what Ammon talks about in the Book of Mormon when, he "did rejoice exceedingly to see his brethren; and what added more to his joy, they were still his brethren in the Lord." I was so happy to see him and he was so happy too. THE ONLY THING THAT COULD HAVE MADE IT BETTER WOULD BE IF ELDER VOGELSBERG WAS MY COMPANION. It would have made Tatay Domingo happy too see him too, he asked about you Tatay. But I am pleased to tell you that Tatay Domingo is "still my brother in the Lord." He still loves the Book of Mormon and finds strength in it and goes to church and just LIVES THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST. 

       We taught them later on that day and I gave a "Endure to the End" lesson. I told him about if we live the gospel the best we can our whole lives and try our best that the Lord will bless us with Eternal Life. I told him we won't have to wait one year to see each other and all the other great things that will happen if only we will Endure to the End! He has sacrificed so much for the Gospel. He doesn't hang out with his old friends because they aren't uplifting, he does drink or smoke or anything like that and now his youngest son Domgy (sp) is getting baptized in just a few weeks. Yeah that is right Tatay Vogelsberg- DOMGY is getting baptized! "And if it so be that you should labor all your days in crying repentance unto this people, and bring, save it be one soul unto me, how great shall be your joy with him in the kingdom of my Father!"

       All I know is I am a very happy missionary! I also got to see all the quotes and goals and such that Elder Vogelsberg and I put on the wall by our study desks. Every time we went out to work we would say, "Let's do some good." And I am here to tell you Tay, WE DID SOME GOOD. I could write quite a bit about all the families I saw while I was there and what not but I don't have that much time. I just know "there never were men that had so great reason to rejoice as we." I want to go back to Pasacao with you "Ryan" haha. 

        One of the best parts about it was that I was able to SPEAK TO THEM. Obviously when I was still an "aki" or "kid" in the mission I didn't know how to speak Tagalog very well at all, V-berg can testify to that. But V-berg was fluent from the womb. Anyway I was so limited in what I could tell people. I was a fresh missionary with a burning testimony inside my heart that wanted so badly to share it with others but I was limited. That is why I am so lucky to have been able to go back now and teach the people I love so much again, but this time be able to tell them whatever I want. To be able to tell them what is in my heart and how much the Restored Gospel will bless their lives! I am so grateful for the gift of tongues and all the blessings Heavenly Father has given me on this mission. I didn't get pictures with everyone and I didn't get to see everyone but hey, I still have 6 months left in the office I could still convince President to go back I think!  

         So Markee had her baby huh? Sadee Janette, that is a cute name, especially because she was born on Grandma Sherwood's birthday! I hope Markee is doing good. I think lots of stuff happens back home without me even knowing haha. But that is okay, I would rather focus on right here in the mission and just pray all of you guys are okay. I know everything will be fine, as long as we do what we know is right. 

          Well the church is true everybody. It really is. I know it is. Elder Ballard talks about this life being like a small string tied onto a rope that stretches forth into eternity- both ways. Then he says that string represents the time we will spend on this earth compared to pre and post. So, be good. Choose the right and follow Christ. It will all be worth it in the end. I know this message is true. When we go talk to people and we ask if we can share a message with them I tell them that this message is the "most beautiful" and "most important" message they will hear in their whole life and that is how I feel about it. Thank you for all your prayers and I pray for you everyday. I am happy, I never haven't been happy on my mission I don't think. Anyway this was a great week, I wish I could just bring you with me for a few days into my mission! Love you all so much.

Elder Davis

      P.S. Mom thank you for the package, in it I found two of my favorite things: Starburst and Laffy Taffys. And on an unrelated  Laffy Taffy note, Why was the tomato blushing? Have you given up already? It was because HE SAW THE SALAD DRESSING! Anyway I got a kick out of it. Have a fantastic week! Share your testimony with someone!

PASACAO!!!!!!! Just for a day but still... a WHOLE DAY!
