20 January 2014



Dear family,
So this was an interesting week, since I was outside of my area almost all the week. We went on divisions with three sets of sisters.  The idea is to have sisters working in both areas during the division, but sometimes distance and travel makes that unreasonable. So for two of the divisions, both Hna Fuentes and I worked in the area of the other sisters. We are getting pro at traveling.
This morning Hna Trujillo's comp is flying back to her country. She had some health problems and finally she and president decided she should serve closer to her house for a time, where she will have access to the same doctors who helped her before the mission. So ever since yesterday when we dropped her off where she would spend here last night in Honduras, I've been in a trio with Hna Fuentes and Hna Trujillo. And we will be in a trio until the changes meeting Wednesday. President already told Hna Fuentes and me that he has no intention of changing us, and obviously Hna Trujillo needs to stay here to teach her area to a new comp. So it looks like for the first time in my mission I will get to spend three transfers in the same ward! (Albeit splitting the time between two areas in that ward.)
Right now we are working  hard to have a miracle so that we can baptize Ricardo. Ricardo has a lot of family and extended family that are members (some of whom are more active than others, but his immediate family is becoming more active!). Ever since the first lesson he accepted the invitation to be baptized and he has now come to church for over a month without missing. But he needs to get married first. And his future wife is from really far away and her hometown (home pueblo) lost the paperwork that verifies that she exists and is single. The process to reinitiate her paperwork is proving complicated and we will need  a miracle for it to be possible. With almost anyone else, we might have given up already. But the sadness on Ricardo's face when we told him we didn't know when he could get baptized has been enough to keep us trying and praying as much as we can.
I love you all!
Have a great week!
Hermana Davis
