Working, Johnson Farm, and Black Friday - November 26, 2018

Our thanksgiving was fun. 
We did a lot of facebook in the Walmart parking lot to see the black Friday madness. It was fun. We then got some great food from a couple members. It was a good time. The week was good just not a ton of exciting stuff. Yeah we are finding more people,  but none super solid yet. We are working on it. 
The other elders in the area are doing good. Elder Baldwin is fun. We have a good time.
It is good. It's getting cold and rainy, but so it goes. My shoes are good. I would love some boot looking shoes. I can send a pic if you want of an idea. I did get a haircut today, so I'll take a selfie.
We email in a clubhouse that we have for our apt.  I would love some Christmas decorations. We got to look around Johnson Farm a little bit. It's pretty basic, just a barn pretty much.
I'm having fun. It didn't really feel like thanksgiving, so it was kind of weird being away from home. 
We raked some leaves and stuff this week. In a typical day we find people.  We stop by potentials and talk to them. Me and Elder Baldwin are good teachers, so we like to teach 
mostly. 
Well, I've got to go,

New Town, New Companion - November 21, 2018

Hey everyone, 
Elder Baldwin is good. We have been having fun. We get along really well. My new address is 9001 Portage Pointe Dr, Apt. B107, Streetsboro, OH 44241
This week has been good. I said goodbye to everyone in Alliance I will send pics. My new area is good. Elder Baldwin is super nice, and we are having a good time. Yeah, we do tell people that we are related. Everyone enjoys it.
There are tons of super nice people here. We have a super nice apt. And there are a lot of good young members. There is a lot farmland around here.
We haven't been to Johnson Farm Historic Site yet, but we are going to go to Kirtland for the ward Christmas party. So that'll be awesome. The do a live nativity thing for Thanksgiving.
For our Thanksgiving, we are going to an older couples home. They are really nice. It has been snowing a lot. It has been fun but also super cold.
We live 20 min away in a bigger town. We have a Target and stuff. Our church building is right next to the Johnson Farm. It's just a bunch of barns. I don't get to work there. The sisters and the senior couple do that. Sad, I know.
The Johnson Farm is where Joseph Smith was tarred and feathered. It is also where he received the revelation for the plan of salvation and the three kingdoms. 
Last night a family with three little boys fed us and that was fun. He fed us massive deer steaks and Australian chocolates called Tim tams. It was way fun. We are working on getting a teaching pool and finding people.
I love you all,
Elder Davis

I'm Getting Transferred, Baptism & Mud - November 14, 2018

Hey!
Shirley got baptized on Saturday and she was so funny. She is like 80 years old and is just super excited for the church. Five minutes before the service was supposed to start she gets up and starts walking to the font and goes its time! I'm ready! We had to pull her back in because there were talks and stuff. It was funny. I then sang on Sunday come thou fount. That was fun and a good time. We also got stuck in the mud trying to give people cookies and brother fisher and Hannah fisher came and saved us. That was good. On thursday we built this shed for some recent converts. One person said it was like building a Lego set from Good will, But we finished it this week. Shirley's baptism was great. She is a sweet old lady, at the end of it she came up to hug me and pulled me in there's nothing I could do. Sunday was good, she got confirmed and then we had a Sunday social with the ward it was fun it was at this guys house and its my dream home. I will try to describe it on Monday. Monday was good we had a lesson, and on Tuesday we had a lesson with brother wait, the guy who owns the house. He is a Crack up so it was fun. We then had dinner with Becky who got baptized 3 weeks ago and she is doing great. She had dinner with us and a couple of members. That's been our week really. It's been good. I'm getting transferred to Hiram, Ohio. it is a small town near a church historic site. so that will be cool. my new comp is Elder Baldwin (His mom is my mom's second cousin. She is a Prettyman). I am sad to leave this area, the people, and my comp, but it will be fun in Hiram.

Big News! November 7, 2018

Hey! 
My week was good. Big news! Our p-day starting the 19th of November will be moved to Monday. Salt Lake wants it so that's what it will be. So keep that in mind. We also have a baptism Saturday! Shirley is so excited and it will be great. Two baptisms in one transfer! It's been awesome. We also helped a couple from the ward move. She breeds and shows dogs so we helped move a bunch of cages and I got to see a bunch of puppies! It was a good time. We went on exchanges yesterday and that was fun. I went with elder Harmon and we visited one guy with tons of swords and knives so that was sweet. BUT the highlight of the week was our stake held a sacred music festival and it was with a ton of Baptist choirs and stuff. They were shouting and screaming hallelujah, we also got to clap in the chapel. We took shirley and she loved it. Brother wait one of the members in our ward is awesome and he drove us. He's super funny, then I got to sit by Birhter fisher and say Amen a lot to join in😂😂. We then drive home and Birhter wait realized no one feeds us so we went back to his house which is BEAUTIFUL with a lake and a zip line and stuff. He then asked his wife to make us breakfast for dinner and we ate with them that night. It was definitely a highlight of the week. Zone conference was good. President and sister Stratford were as awesome as ever. All and all a good week.
