Serving In Our Ward In Cottage Lake

Hi,


My name is Scott Davis and your daughter is serving in our ward.  For the past many years my wife and I host a dinner at our home once a month on Sunday to mostly have the widows and single men a place to gather and enjoy food and company.  (Not a dating program).  About 3 years ago we felt an impression to invite the full time missionaries as we would have several less active members attend.  So the missionaries have been attending each of our monthly dinners.  My wife and I have set the dinner up that we provide all of the food and we take care of all the dishes so that each person doesn’t need to bring anything and just come and enjoy being together.  So each month those who attend will ask if they can bring anything, but we always say just come.  And after dinner several would ask if they could help with the dishes but we always politely said we will take care of them.  That is where your daughter comes in to the story and why I am writing you this note.  I am not able to keep your daughter from helping clear up the dishes and not able to keep her away from the sink.  She if full of goodness.  She would not accept my polite no about helping clean up she didn’t even ask, just jumped in and cheerfully helped.  She knows that it is not required of anyone to help with the cleanup but she just jumps in and does it.  She doesn’t say "can I help", (she already knows the answer to that), she just serves.  In the many years of having the dinner I have not have anyone like her that just goes about doing good like that.  Our ward is her first area, but I know she will be so successful wherever the Lord sends her.  She is a doer, and as such very enjoyable to have her serve in our ward.  Someday I hope to be able to meet you, but if not, I am amazed at the wonderful job you have done in teaching and raising your daughter.  (I know it was a parent partnership, and am not discounting others who have influenced her), but I know how much a mother does in shaping the thoughts and attitudes of their children.


Anyway, I want you to know that I would be very comfortable asking your daughter to teach one of my friends about the gospel, (I don’t have any currently interested), as I have seen her integrity.


Just thought you would want to know.


Warmest regards,
Scott Davis

Greetings From RENTON

Heyyy bffs! This week was absolutely nuts, I swear the weeks keep getting more chaotic everytime.  My BESTIE KAILEY SANNAR left me, then I was in a LIT trio with Sister Johnson and Sister Debloois! They are so fun. We went on a GOOD dab spree for those couple days. However during our time together we each got white wash calls (which means they take all the missionaries out of the area and replace them with new ones). Moral of the story, all together we whitewashed 4 areas. So that was interesting, kinda stressful but we survived. TRANSFERS: I love going to transfers and seeing so many friends!! I got transferred to good ole R-Town. Renton is more south in the mission than I'm used to so I'm excited for a change. South= a more humble crowd and it's already been very cool to see how willing/open people are to learning more about Jesus Christ.  My new companion is Sister Melton, she is a sweetie cutie petite little dumpling sugar plum! I served with her i...

Not So Funny

This week was awesome!!  We did lots of service and got to help out with all the kiddos in church yesterday! PRIMARY PROGRAM GOES CRAZY, we've been helping them prepare for their performance for a couple weeks now so it was really fun to see it put all together! Also a miracle that I got some of my bffs to sing #blessup  FUNNY (not so funny) moment of the week: we had to drop our friend. Sadly one of our friends.... was tryna be a lil more than friends with Sister Wallis. He had me straight up third wheeling so that was amusing but not for Sister Wallis. Rip Gary. Officially been a missionary for 4 months!! Even though I have a lot more time left, I've been reflecting on what I've experienced so far! Quite sure I say this every week, but I have been SO blessed! It is WILD to see how what I believe has changed and grown. It is a miracle in itself that I am here serving but even more so how many good things I have been given while doing so! My mission has shown me how ...

HAPPY MONDAY!!!  Got to go to the temple on Friday with friends and it was SO fun! We grubbed at cafe rio after and this dude was tryna get our church address but it was a little sus how bad he wanted it so we are gonna send the Elders his way Funny story from this week! I was on an exchange with the stls and a car of boys asked for our numbers. It was a pretty funny interaction telling them how we are on missions and we don't date for a couple years Anyway enough with the weird things that happened... this week so awesome! Sister Hatt and I are bffs!!! We get cracked up about stuff all the time and I feel so grateful that she is my companion, the transfer is flying by so im gettin a wee bit nervous that change could be coming my way. However, I know that whatever happens will be for a reason and it will help me learn and grow!!!  As I have been more immersed in the scriptures on my mission, I have found so much joy through reading the Bible and the Book of Mormon! I...
