First P-Day and emails from Hermana Davis 8-24-17

We received our first emails from Hermana Davis today!!! so good to hear her enthusiasm and experiences from her first week at the MTC.  Here are some parts of her emails. and some pic's she sent

The start of my mission experience.
First off, thank you mom for all the stuff that you packed extra that I didn{t know about and that I will not need like that Russian hat thing that I wore when I was like 10. I love seeing all the surprises. It was grand
¡Hola me Familia!
I am really enjoying my time here at the CCM!.......
I love my badge. I never want to take it off. It makes me feel so awesome......

One of our roommates____was struggling with some personal issuse. As she was telling us I just felt how much God truly loves her and so we had a very long discussion about her trying to give her peace. It was so much easier to be able to teach and express myself in English not have to struggle in Spanish. You could feel the spirit so strong, except you could still tell that ______was still uneasy, so I asked if we could say a prayer, and as I was praying, you could instantly feel the room get lighter. You could feel peace and it was one of the best experience, because it just strengthened my testimony as to why I am here.

Also we always play volleyball at the CCM!! It is so fun! I love volleyball and playing with all the Latinos are super funny because they shout and are so loud at everything they do! It is literally amazing!! And the food here is so good! I don{t know half the things I am eating but don{t worry I am eating good!! Still losing weight, but eating good!!! On tuesday we had a devotional!! It was amazing. Presidente Benette gave it! It was about the gift of repentance and man it was amazing. Through Christ we can live a new! It truly is a gift to be able to repent of all our sins and be clean once more, and that we can be perfect like our Savior! I literally cried the whole devotional! The hardest thing I think, besides learning the language, is exact obidience. Because I am working with another person and sometimes 4 when we are trying to go to bed and lights out. Alone it would be so easy to leave on time and to turn off the lights and to personal study but working with someone else is difficult to try and get places and turn off lights, but we are getting a lot better. caxt obediance works. It blesses lives. Also Uncle J.D. was Hermana Brown{s stake president in her BYU YSA ward!! How crazy is that_! Oh and I totally forgot to tell y{all. Me and Hermana Brown are called to be Senior Trainers! We are like the District Leaders of the Hermanas in our branch!! I can{t believe it! I am really excited about it. I think it will help both of us a lot to be able to help the girls around us. Well I think I covered pretty much everything I could have possibly covered. I saw Hermana Galli as well a few times. That was fun!! I love everyone so much!

To Heaven and Back!!
Hermana Davis
