hey, hows the week. IM IN A NEW AREA! today, at 2:40 we got up and me and on of the other mishionaries -elder burris, left and headed to rio. i am now in a new area, do you remember the times when i said we had a conference in macaé, well now im serving in macaé. the name of my area is areoporto. its cooooool! our house is like a rich guys house, i have my own bathroom, a good bed, huge kitchen and its the coolest area and house ever!!!! but, things are going good. thats cool that dan will be married! thanks for the letters and the emails. happy birthday courtney!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! my comps name is elder campos. he has 1 transfer on the mish. ( 1 month and 2 weeks) hes pretty cool, hes a brazilian. one cool thing that happened the other day in my old area was we were walking down the street to return some pots we borrowed from a member and lately i have been asking for opportunities to serve and i felt i should pray while i was walking so i did and it slowed me down a little bit and because it slowed me down i realized a guy was having a hard time walking. we went over and helped him becasue he broke his foot and was returning from the hospital but it was killing him, so we carried him to the bus stop and helped him on. it was a good experience that shows the lord answeres prayers, and shows how good it feels to help others. he was way greatfull. in my old area we were having a bit of trouble finding people who would go to church, wow it was hard. but we kept at it and prayed and fasted, the lord helped us find a few less active members and a few new investigators and on sunday we left really early and went to the end of our area and woke them up by clapping or calling them by phone adn we were blessed with a answer to our prayers and fasts by having the less active members and new invest. come to church!!!!!!! it was great and i new they felt the spirit. so sounds like things are going good, im in moroni 5 now, almost done and ill start doctorine and covenants. i was thinking the other day about stuff and thought about how the enemy blinds us without even trying, if we dont read the book of mormon, go to church and say our prayers we will forget him and get lost in the world. so do the basic things every daY!!!!!!!! i know the bom is true and Jesus Christ lives. god hears and answeres every sincere prayer. in the name of Jesus Christ amen. Have a good week and i love you all, remember to please recieve a renewed testimony of the bom. thanks for the emails dad. ill keep fighting. Elder Davis
