Hey Hey Hey :)
How is everybody!! OH man mom i am so sorry i had it in my notes to do list to tell Grandpa Happy Birthday but it just was gone out of my mind!! So will you please tell him i miss him and Happy Birthday from his favorite Grandson :) Take him a pic to have so he won't forget my face when i come visit him!!
Wow so about my week!! oh man i have had better thats for sure, but i love it all there to make you reflect, be humbled, get stronger, and CHANGE!!! so it was good!! The Lord liveth i do know that!!! and I love it!!! This week on tuesday as soon as i got done with emailing i went on exchange and it was with a team of mine that is really struggling with finding people and well I think i am pretty good and finding people and giving out Book of Mormons and all the things they needed so i was excited but for some reason I lost all my stuff all because i thought i was good enough to do it all but i lost it, It was weird it was like I couldn't speak! I learnt the next morning in my study why it was like that!! I put my trust in the arm of flesh to much and I didn't put any trust in the Lord, and just as it say in Nephi Cursed is he that putteth his trust in the arm of flesh!! So i repented and changed and it got alot better by the end of my exchange and I well the Lord helped them find some people to teach and work with!!
Then we had Zone Conference on Thursday and my Trainer Elder Skidmore gave his departing testimony!! He is going home at the end of this transfer and i almost cried!! It made me realize that my mission does end that it is going so fast and i only have a short period left!! I am really past my year mark!! Ahhhhhh it killed me!! I Love serving my Savior Jesus Christ and I don't know what i'm going to do when my time runs out!! But I gotta work work work thats all i know i can't think about it i just gotta work!!!
Then on Friday we went down stairs after weekly planning and went to the bike shed and someone had broken in and stolen Elder La Vita's bike!! They left mine!! but took his ah man so we spent all day walking to the town to try to find him a new bike!
Then Saturday Halloween ha it was a good day until all the families went to bed and only the punks were left out ha!! then things got a little dodgie haha!! I got hit with an onion but no biggy just a bruise on my arm haha!! luckily thats all that happened!!
It was just a learning week!! something that kept coming back though every time i thought about it was stop trusting in yourself! Your Weak Elder Davidson but if you trust in me i will make you strong!! And I am weak i am!! But you my famile, my friends, everyone makes me stronger! But without the Lord I am nothing!!
I love you all thank you for all you do!! You lift me when i am down and i wouldn't be able to do it with out you!! I love you all so so much!!

wooooooooooooooooooooooooo eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :)
I love it look at those yanks go!!!! Thats what they do baby booo!!!! Yup ship Elder Davidson out some yanks stuff i gotta sport it!! haha!!
Well wow sounds like you had some fun in Kansas!! ah thats the best!! Thanks james for all the pictures i loved seeing them!! Looks like the old man still has his swing haha!! hopefully he doesn't lose it before i get home, i don't want to beat him to bad haha!!
Speaking of dad, no i didn't get his email or any of his letters, they might have all gone to the cov flat and so hopefully i should get them this week at Zone Conference. There was a 4 day strike over here in england with the post that ended i think saturday so hopefully i should be getting post soon haha!!
Anyways this week was great, the work is really moving forward, we are finding new people to teach everyday in everyway!! The Lord is really taking care of us and I know he only can keep blessing us if we keep on working so that is what we will do!! My comp and I are getting along great, we both like to have a good laugh so we can joke with one another so it is good, He is a young missionary that hasn't had much success at the first of his mission (just like me) so it is good we can talk and i can relate to him. and hopefully with your prayers and our faith we can change that together and both see alot of success!! He is a stud though!!
I love my mission! i am so greatful to be serving at this time! Oh man so many miracles so many answered prayers it has been amazing! The Lord has blessed me and i love him for it!! I love him for the hard times when life is a struggle!! I love the rejection every second of it!! But most importantly i love seeing the change in people when they accept the true and living gospel of Jesus Christ!!! The way they just glow ahh it has changed me!! This is the lords work and i am here to do the work!!! And I will!!!
Thanks for all your support!! I love you all!! I miss you!!

Hey All,
I Love my yanks!!!! look at um go!! All the way baby!! Arod my boy stud thats all I can say haha!! I love it!! Thanks for the info!!
Can you believe Beaumont is alread home?? where is the time going?? I can't believe it time is flying by!! I mean its almost Christmas again!! It feels like yesterday i was counting down the days for Christmas to get here but now I want the time to slow down!! but I can't wait to talk to the fam :)
So yuppers Elder D got moved haha!! its been a good week so far! We had someone at church and it was the first time in about 6 weeks so it was good the Lord is already starting the work again!! Just so you know i'm still District Leader but I just have a totally new District!! I haven't met them yet, I have talked to them over the phone but thats about it! I will get to meet them tomorrow at District meeting so i'm pretty stoked!!
I am positive that my adress is right but it is some newer buildings so that is probably why it isn't coming up on google earth!!
My comp is a stud!! He is a funny kid so we are having some good times over here!! Caerphilly's ward is pretty good as well, the members are nice its just hard to get them to come out teaching with us because the missionaries in the past kinda ruined things with there not so good acts!! But we are trying to build the trust and hopefully soon they will start supporting us a little bit more!!
I had my first accident on my bike in caerphilly this week haha, didn't take long!! There are some crazy steep hills over here in wales and well my little old bike was having a hard time with them haha but i got to the top of one and started my treck down and my peddle just snapped and got caught in the tyre so i flipped right over top and landed on my back but luckily my back pack was there so i didn't even have a scratch thank goodness!! but I am going to get it all juiced up today while we have time so it'll be ready to go the rest of the week!!
Anyways I love you all!! thanks for all your love and support! I miss you and hope that all is well down there in the good ol utah :) The Lord is going to take care of us this transfer i have no doubts I just know that | am here for a reason and I don't know what it is yet but i sure will know soon!!
Have an amazing week!!

Probably the hardest thing i have ever done leaving that place!! all those beautiful people just saying goodbye was so hard!! I almost just didn't go haha but i'll go where the lord wants me to go!!
I am now serving in the beautiful Caerphilly in Wales!!! wow is it different down here!! it is a similar place to the forest of dean!! very small and beautiful!! The people over here wow, I don't even think they are speaking English when they are talking to me haha, they just speak so fast, man its intense!! I have to think about what they said and process it all and the speak ha its quite funny but i love it!! My new comp is Elder La Vita, he is from South Africa, he is the man!! I love him!! he is a newer missionary and is just full of love so it should be good over here i'm excited!!
My packages well hopefully they get to me haha, that coventry flat everything goes missing there haha!! I think from now on it might be better to send packages to the mission address so then i know i will get them haha!!
my new address: Flat 11H Knightswalk
Caerphilly CF83 2XN
Wales UK
So about the helping you with your class I can write a letter to my recent converts and see if i can get a reply and see if i can get it to you then ok?? I'll do my best!!
Well i'm excited to start this new adventure in caerphilly, i have heard not so good news about it haha but i know that with faith anything is possible and me and Elder La Vita can baptize here no matter what the other missionaries say!! I am always up for a challenge, Like bottom of the 9th, 2 outs bases juiced, full count, and Elder Davidson up to bat!! you know he is just gonna hit a yack haha!! I love it!!!
So wait? how are my yanks?? did the mariners beat them?? i'll cry!! i promise i'll cry haha!! I miss you all!! thanks for all you do!! I pray for your happiness and safety everynight and will always do so!! I love you!!

Hey Madre and Fam!!!
Well wow i'm gonna let you know right now that all that money that was put in for some souvenairs got spent on everything but that!! It went to a new bike because mine and my companions got stolen!! they cut a steal chain and stole them wow must of really needed them!! Then for church it went to taxis so my investigators could attend church because the other Elders kind of made the members a little hateful and so everyone was refusing to give lifts this sunday! luckily that was sorted last night and lets just say i'm glad i wasn't the one that did what they did!! gotta love the members that is the most important thing!! also it went to serving my new companion as he himself ran out of money for food!! so i'm sorry if i went passed what was put in but its been quite the last couple of weeks!! I love the trials baby :) :) just take it with a smile!!
thanks for all your support though!! I am glad that you all enjoyed and got as much out of conference as i did!! I hope this week was good for you sounds like dad is going to be having a waste out session though this weekend full of golfing!! One day he will take his son Elder Davidson on a trip!! but don't worry we won't go with out you mother :) your the party :)
Oh but how i miss the waking up sunday morning to sticky buns and general conference with the family!! but wow do i love conference!! Living Prophets and Apostles that is what we listened to all weekend long and I loved every second of it!! Saddly to say though I didn't get to watch Elder Hollands talk :( my favorite and the most powerful speaker I had to miss it was just to late it is at 9:00 p.m over here so we missed it, but now that you mentioned it i can't wait to read it when the ensign comes!! but everything else was beautiful i loved it i truly did wow!! the talk just for me, well everyone had a certain special meaning but the one that touched me the most was in the priesthood session i hope dad watched it! it was Elder Ballard talked all about Fathers and Sons talking one with another and communicating!! That is something i never really did with Dad of with you Mom and its hard to admit it but I will change i know that you both have been where i have been you both know what decisions will help me and what ones won't so I will come to you for advice I love ya!!! But the whole conference humbled your boy Elder Davidson!! I know now that i need to serve more, and that I do need to love more!! I will I will I will!!! thats what i wrote on my notes!!! Cause thats what life is all about serving your brothers and sisters, I thank mom and dad for all the times you pulled myself out of bed to go do the service for the people who needed it!! for the people who were calling out for help, you taught me a life long lesson that I will never forget and I will never think of service as a burden!! You are the example and I love ya!! thank you so so much for everything!! I miss you!! I love you!!! You are the examples that have changed me forever!!! and I will take all that you have taught me and teach it to my children because i see now how important it is!!! I love you both so much!!

The Baptismal service was hectic and stressful, We met jason at his house at 11:00 p.m. the Baptisme was supposed to start at 12:00 the member came and showed up at 11:30 a half an hour late, so the filling up the font was pushing it cuz it usually took about 45 minutes, so we get there and i run to the place where the key to the font usually is, and it is gone so i'm am just running around looking for it, calling the person that is supposed to have it oh so finally at about 12:00 i get the key and start filling the font so we start the baptismal service and like 12:30 and to top it all off the lady who was supposed to be playing the piano and doing a musical item doesn't show, I call her and call her but she just doesn't show so we just try to sing acapella and well in england its not like america where it sounds ok it is just brutal people were laughing it was so bad, oh man then I go to check the font to see if it is full during the talks be4 the baptism and someone had turned it off, so i run to it and turn it back on and so we have to sit outside the font for 30 minutes and wait for it to fill the Bishop wasn't happy ahhh man it was stressful, but all in all it went well haha!!!

I love that the lord always finds a way!! but we will get it just gotta work our tails off and be Obedient and the Lord will take care of us!!But as for the mission..... Well things are changing President Ogden has made some huge changes that are going to take some time to get used to!!! 1 of the biggest one is Accounting, My teams used to call me everynight and tell me about there day and how the people they were teaching were doing and all this good stuff and I could help them with the problems and concerns that they were facing with there area's and there Investigators, but as of last thursday they don't call me anymore, well they do but only to tell me they are safe home and thats it!! Oh it has been weird accountability has gone down and I am scared that missionaries effectiveness will go down!! But we will see he is called of God, so we just have to have faith!!
Its harder for me as a Leader because i still have to find ways to keep my teams Accountable to their actions without talking to them for very long at night but it makes me think so thats the good things haha I'll figure something out!!
In the flat we had a case of Swine Flu, Elder Newbury caught it and was out of commission for a week, we had to take shifts of who sat in the flat with him so the Zone Leaders could do work in there area but luckily none of us caught it from him!!!
Anyways nothing much happened this week, Gadfield Elm was amazing!! Pictures to come.... But ya good week!!
I love you!! You are all amazing!! You just make me smile so thanks for all your support!! I miss you!!!

Ahhhh man that kills me!! but its all good no worrys i will get some of them back it will be all good!! No worries No worries!!

Maybe you just need to get off your feet for a while because i know you, your on your feet all day!! you need to just chill out for a bit!! But wow everyone sounds busy, thats good!! When we are busy we have a less chance of getting in trouble so good good!!
So crazy Transfers came and gone once again and Elder Davidson is still staying in coventry with my boy!! Its crazy 9 months?? that never happens but I love coventry so its great i'm happy to stay!! I mean there must me that person that i have been sent here to find that i haven't found yet I guess I better go to work so I can find them so the Lord will let me move on haha!!
The Zone Leader that was here Elder Bearnson, he went home this transfer and it was so sad to see him try to not pack up his stuff and to see how much a mission really is the best 2 years of your life that you will never get back!! He loved his mission and you could see that and it just made me happy to know that i still have a year but sad to know that i only have a year and there is so much i still haven't done that i need to accomplish!! But it has made me more excited for the work so that was good!! The Lord does take care of his missionaries and familys while they are gone its beautiful!!!
but the new Zone Leader in cov town is Elder Gee, ah he is a stud he is English but a different kind of english ha so its good I like him it'll be a fun transfer!!
Man President Ogden wow he is amazing I love him but wow you should see the kind of changes that are happening its a different style and it is hard to get accustomed to but it'll be good, he was sent here to do the work and if that is the way the Lord wants it done I'll do it, but wow its like starting over again but its way good I love it!!!
100.00 dollors?? does that mean i can buy me a yankees hat to celebrate there beautiful domination haha!! I have been dying to get one but hey I'll ask first haha?? what do you think??
Oh man I made the best american breakfast the other day just pancakes (the mix had to get sent over by a missionaries parents but he gave it to me :) ) and bacon and eggs and just syrup oh man it was beautiful, not as beautiful as one of your breakfasts mom but wow I would have to say i'm pretty good haha!!
Ok ok i know it is way random this week, i'm sorry my mind is just everywhere!! but I love you!!! We have a Baptism this week as well!!! 2 baptisms in our area and 2 in the Zone leaders so it should be a big white day!! MY BOY IS BAPTIZING WOOOOO HOOOOOOO!!! nothing makes me more happy not only that but one of my Recent Converts is going to baptize as well!! I love it!!! Just the most amazing thing serious!!!
But wow I Love you!! Thanks for all you do!! I pray for you always!! I miss you so much!! And I am greatful for my beautiful family!!!

Hey Madre / Familay :)
Mom Thanks so much for the beautiful package ah it was just gorgeous to open!! Especially the baseballs holy wow!! I sleep with 1 in my hand!! NO Lie!! I Love it thank you so much!!
Oh and about the next package just wrap the rice krispy treats up tight and ship them over they will be fine i'll eat them no matter what they look like haha!! Store bought?? come on mommy you know that homemade are just better!!! Especially your cookies there are nothing better just put them in a bag and ship them over no need to freeze them!! A week thats nothing haha!! Peanut butter cookies mom ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! I hope this month flies by hahaha!!
My driving test is next monday I had to reschedule it so next week you'll know if i passed or not ha i'm studying hard so we will see how it goes!!
Oh mom Tell Grandma Happy Birthday for me next week!! Tell her I love her and really miss her and Grandpa!!! Hope she has an amazing Birthday!! I will be thinking about her!!
Anyways So let me just tell me about my week!! Probably one of the hardest weeks on my mission, No lie!! I have never had so many things that were just perfect go so wrong so fast, Everything that possibly could have went wrong DID!!! Everything that i thought would go this way went the other way it was just quite the week!! I wanted to break down a couple times and there was alot of time spent on my knees!!
But I got through it I did and I won't break, I know all the little trials have been preparing me for the big trials that come right when everything is dandy!!
All the people that were supposed to get baptized this week, All 4 of them dropped last week, 2 of them got scheduled for work and 1 of them started drinking Alchohol again drastically and another just disappeared!! All in about 2 days!! I wanted to pull my hair out!! No one seemed to want to talk to me and Elder Smith and just kept walkin past or slamming the doors in our face, I felt weak!! I felt like a poor teacher I felt like a poor finder, I just felt like all the talent skills and ability that i had picked up so far were gone!! I couldn't find them and i forgot how to use them!! And Many other things went wrong! everything was just going in the opposite direction!!
It was hard for me it was but the hardest thing i saw this week was when my Greenie got discouraged!! there was nothing that broke my heart more then when he thought it was his fault!!
But Just as the lord always does he drops ya to your lowest low's and then he lifts you to your Highest High's he took care of us!!
Saturday evening we came home with only 1 person committed to church and I was Discouraged and Elder Smith was also, I was doing all I could to act happy so that Elder Smith would cheer up so i did all i could to make him feel better and got that smile back on his face and we went to bed but before I went down stairs and I hit my knees hard just pleading for a miracle!! And on sunday we got a miracle, 5 people endend up coming to church 1 with Anita and 1 with Endy and a couple that i had previously taught and alson the 1 we had committed!! It was beautiful so now we are currently teaching all 5 of them and 4 of which have a date to be baptized!!! I love it the lord took care of us!! I know that if i don't ever again throw in the towel he will carry me through everything I love it!! It was a miracle!!
The Lord will never ever abandon us, just when you think he is gone that is when you see the miracles he proves himself over and over again but it all depends on the faith of us his children!!!
I love it!! Nothing bettter!!!
Hope you all have an amazing week I miss you!! I promise you the Lord is taking care of me and all my Beaver Brothers out there So no need to worry about us!!
I love you!!

Letter August 11th 2009
ONE YEAR, Can you believe it!! Its insane i'll be honest, Time was just gone but it has been a great Year full of the biggest UPS and DOWNS of my life and a million memories that will last me a lifetime, or until i forget them when i'm old like Daddio haha!!
So wow sounds like everyone of my nephews and nieces are just growing up, and there are going to be at least 2 new ones running around when i get home, thats just beautiful i love it!! Give all of them a big hug and a kiss from me!! I sure do miss them!!
So let me just tell you about today, oh my it was the weirdest day of my life, so we decided last night that the 4 of us (Elder Newbury, Elder Bearnson, Elder Smith, and myself) were going to go to birmingham which has on of the biggest shopping centers anyone has ever seen, so we wake up this morning 6 o clock drive to birmingham study there and head off, we come to this huge building just the craziest shape i have ever seen can't even explain it haha, and right when we walk in the doors and go down the escalator there is a ginormous BULL made out of Jelly Belly's!!! Thats right i said JELLY BELLYS haha it was crazy, and then they just had a buffett with straight american candy, like the penny candy's and the suckers i used to buy at the B-Store I just couldn't believe it we all couldn't hold back we had to buy some haha it was beautiful though, and then to top it all off we walk like 200 feet further and there is a legit Krispy Kream Donut factory Krispy Kreams I couldn't believe it!! I had to dip into that oh man it was like being back in america, but after a while I'll be honest I felt just so uncomfortable and so wordly, I just didn't like it anymore I lost myself back in the world for about 2 hours and It just felt weird oh man I'll tell you what it will just be insane to go back to the world and i am glad that i do not have to experience it for another year!!!
I do truly love my mission had some hard times and I love my trials I do I do!!! I have grown up a little and hopefully when i get home our Heavanly Father will have molded me to who he wants me to be!!!
My favorite quote from our dear Prophet Thomas S. Monson,
"PRAY as if everything depended on the FATHER, But WORK as if everything depended on YOU!!!!!"
Story of my mission!! The success's that i have seen this year has only been at the times when i hit my knees and give up!!! but then went out and worked harder then ever befor I love it!!!> > This is the gospel of Jesus Christ!!!
Thank you so much for all you do!! I miss you so so so much!!!
I love you all more then you will ever know!!!

Letter August 4th 2009
Hey Hey
Wo Wo Wo first of all Mother if you could see how much your boy can eat you wouldn't be saying that haha! constantly i am eating something haha but its those runs in the morning to wake me up that i think have been burning off all i eat haha!!
But wow look at T-money go, I love it just get him a job and he will be set!! Check Cal Ranch haha he can just walk in my footsteps haha!! I cant believe dad isn't going to buy his son some new golf clubs and just put them down in his room until he gets home come on now whats he thinking haha!! But sounds like he still has his game breathing or not its still there and so when i get home he can win me some tournys and then buy me some new clubs haha!!
What you let them take the big TV?? come on now?? he doesn't need that he needs the little tv like me thats how it should be he is just a little college boy he needs a little tv haha!!
About taryn wow i am so proud i just smile all the time, and i'm definately not bother cuz me and moss and all my boys aren't going to need girls haha it'll be 2 years without them, all we are going to need is our baseball gloves and our boots (cleats) and we will be set haha!!!
So about my week the baptism went great and right on Gracies Birthday, I brought a pic of Grace and Katie and Zach to the baptism and I showed it to Anita (the girl getting baptized) and I said look Anita the day my beautiful neice was born and the day you are born again, she just had the biggest grin ah it was wonderful, it helped me think of all my Nieces and Nephews back home, I cant wait to be there for there baptisms!!
But at her baptism Anita invited all of her family and friends and wow did we take advantage of it, Jeffrey R. Holland said 80 % of investigators that attend a baptismal service will go onto ther own baptism, and now i know that is true, while we were there after the baptism me and my comp Elder Smith were just inviting every single person there to be baptized, and about 6 people accepted and have a date to be baptized (that is about 75% Pretty Close) no doubt others will follow! But One is her dad Buddy, and her Aunty and her son Millicent and Rexford and one is a friend named Armand and then 2 other people that we invited to come named Paul and Rich, it was a great day and so the 22nd of August should be an amazing day and I cant wait!!
You should have seen my companion though when i told him we were going to ask all of these people to be baptized haha his face just lit up with fear and he said but Elder Davidson we haven't taught anything to them and I just said here is a calender you invite for the 22nd and I will tell you why afterwards, and sure enough without arguing we just went to it haha it was so funny I couldn't help but smile during!!! And then afterwards after everyone had left and we were cleaning up he said Elder Davidson now i know why we invited all those people to be baptized haha!! It was just the best, I tell you what this is the true and living church!!
This is the Lords work and I love being apart of it!
Thanks for all you do fam, love you and miss you!!

P.S. My planner will be wide open tonight haha!!

The district leader just got a little harder this week as well, the boundries got changed and so 2 Elders got moved into my Zone and the Zone Leaders had to choose which District Leader was going to take on the added pressure and sure enough i get the opportunity to look after 2 new missionaries!! I Love it as well!!!
Not only that but we are supposed to have 2 baptisms this week, one is Anita she is from Ghana and amazing she just loves the gospel and loves learning and it is amazing i love teaching her!! And the 2nd is a young fellow named Ji Gang he is from china but Ji Gang went to New Castle after church on sunday and got totally antied by his friends and texted me yesterday saying he cant join the faith, but no worries ill get him there, with the lord anything is possible so no doubt!! Just another Trial and i love it!!!

Sounds like the reunion was a success! that is good i'm glad, glad to hear mother that you have no more stress haha its all gone, Don't you wish that was true? Anyways my week was alright, My Birthday haha well it didn't feel like a birthday to be honest with you, Just felt like another day out in the mission field working hard, but i love my mission so it was a GREAT BIRTHDAY :) I did get the packages that day and that was just perfect haha and i want to thank you so much for that, you are so amazing and i love you for them, they are coming in handy already i am almost all out of the cereal and I am definately done with all teh candy that was sent haha The cake well haven't quite got around to making it yet but i will soon when i have a couple seconds to think haha, and well the nioxin you can't see any different yet but it will come haha i'm sure my hair will start to grow back right befor i come home haha but it will be worth it :) Anyways my week was good, One of our projections named Endurance haha (Endy) is just a stud holy wow he has a testimony of Joseph Smith and it is a good one!! On saturday we went to see him and we were getting ready to teach the word of wisdom and before i begin that lesson i always start by asking do you believe that Joseph Smith is a prophet of God? And so i started it and Endy looks down at the ground and looks away from us and says well Elders about that, I don't....... and just started going into this story about back home and Me I sit up all tall in my seat and get ready to resolve concerns and bear testimony and then all of a sudden Endy starts finishing his story and by the end he is just bearing the most amazing testimony about how he came to know that Joseph Smith was a prophet and it was so amazing the spirit was so strong! And it was so easy to teach him the Word of Wisdom because he said this came from God and walked straight into his kitchen got all his tea and coffee and just handed it to us and said you can have this haha it was so good, The gospel is so true, I love it!! My companion Elder Piredda is starting to learn all the slang he just started to say son with me so by the time we get moved he will be talking like a thug haha I love it, His italion accent with my hickish words haha you can't help but smile at him when he is talking! Anyways my time is almost up thank you for all you do!! I love you a Miss you! I get to meet the new president on thursday so ill let you know all the dodge about him next week haha!!

But he had some packages from his family and he was sharing with me some of his amazing italian cake, mmmmmmmmmm it was good haha, NOthing like Madre's home cooked cake but for a missionary it was pretty super good haha!!Anyways How is everybody?? sounds like everyone but hilda mae has had a vacation this summer? looks like she needs to go to Cali like everybody else haha!! Jaymerz got Utah which is good as well haha!Well my week oh buddy it was quite the week, Well we were meant to have some baptisms coming up for the 4th but um well Jeanett the mother of the family was doing so good and amazing and the family was all ready to get interviewed on the saturday and then we show up to the appointment and she just wasn't having it she didn't even want to speek with us, I finally got her to open up to me but it took for days and i had to pull her aside just me and her but wow apparently she just got totally antied by one of her friends and a family member that lives down in Jamaica and well i cleared up most of the damage but she still has alot of doubts so she told me that she will let me know when she is ready :( ahhhhhhhh i went home and just cried, I hate when satan catches a hold of the hearts of the fathers children it kills me!!! But we will get her and her beautiful family itll come i know it!! it might not be for a while but it will come!!We did though recieve alot of other blessings from our heavenly father man were we blessed this week, saturday night rolls around and we have noone that says they are coming to church and when a D.L. gets noone at church its not a good thing haha, so i'm just going crazy chasing after people stoppin everyone i see just trying to get something, but nothing then it is like 5 minutes to 9:00 and we just have to be heading home and i was going crazy thinking we had nobody, and so we start cycling home and I see one guy just chilling at the bus stop and i say Elder Piredda i have to talk to him, so i pull my bike over and go sit right next to him and just start chatting with him, He see's my badge and says are you a latter day saint and i say no sir i'm from the church of Jesus Christ, and he says i have some friends who are latter day saints in London and i have always wanted to come and see what the church is like, so i say well sir where do you live we will be picking you up tomorrow morning haha, and so we get his address and on sunday pick him up and then another lady that we invited showed up so it was way good we were blessed, His name is Endy and Endy loved church he called his friend right after church and told him he loved it, we invited him to be baptized right next to the beautiful font and as of now he is preparing himself to be baptized on the 18th of july, i love it!! I love the gospel it is so true nothing more amazing that this!!!I love my mission and i am so greatful i get to be here serving the Lord!!! I don't want to be anywhere else!!

Mothers Day Phone Call!!!
On Sunday we actually got to hear his voice!!!! It was so exciting!!! We were scheduled to call him at noon so of course mom hurried home from church early and began calling the phone card she had purchased to get everything set up. Then we spent way to much time trying to figure out how long we could talk with the phone card we had. (Let's just say the way Zach and Tyler were doing the math was way beyond what they needed to be doing!!! LOL it was quite entertaining to see there brains working though!) Anyways dad comes home and we figured out we had seven hours with that phone card!!!!! (Yes we knew he couldn't talk that long but we were prepared regardless!) So mom starts calling the number and all she gets is a busy signal over and over!!! It was pretty frustrating and she was getting impatient! We were blaming it on his companion thinking he was still on the phone with his fam but at 12:10 the phone rings and it is Alex calling Us!!!! He was wondering what the heck was going on and why we hadn't called him yet!!! Who knows what was going on with the connection! Anyways he says he can just talk to us and we don't need to call him back but then the bad news came, he only had an hour or so to talk to us. (And we were exciting thinking we had seven hours!) LOL
Of course mom goes first and it doesn't take her long to start crying which makes the rest of us cry, or maybe just me!!! Mom had a good conversation with him and he said that they had nine investigators in church with them that day!!! Pretty neat we thought!! I'm not sure what was all said because I only got mom's side of the conversation. Mom got a little confused when he asked for Nioxin!! She was thinking it was some kind of medicine!! LOL I exsplained it was for hair loss!!! I guess he thinks he is losing all his hair so that was his request for his birthday!!! Also he let mom know he had given away the baseball she had sent him so he needed some more!
Finally it was my turn!! And of course mom was crying as she got off the phone so I was crying also!! It was so neat to hear his voice and he sounds amazing!!! He has a bit of an accent and he talks so proper! I was way impressed! Anyone who marries him is going to be very lucky! He has a strong testimony and he made sure he let me know before we got off the phone that the church is true, and Heavenly Father is preparing a kingdom in Heaven for me and my family as long as I do what is right!! Wow it was powerful to hear!! He is an amazing person and we all love and miss him so much!
Everyone else did get their turn and even though it was not as long as we would have like we enjoyed every min. of it!!!
As he said goodbye he let mom know that he was going to cycle home as fast as he could and cry himself to sleep because he missed us all so much!! Now that broke all of our hearts!!! But he is strong and he will get through another day. Now we have to wait all the way till christmas to hear his voice again! :(

I hope you know that the first thing im doing when i get home is dominating everyone of my familie members at a homerun derby in the back yard haha so those trees best not be in my way haha!!
Well anyways sounds like everything is going good! Had a good easter so thats good :) thats great everything down here is great as well Easter was good, it will be better when i get my package this week so no mom hasn't come yet but i know itll get her soon no worries! Anyways we had another baptism this weekend, his name is Huy Tran we have been working with him since i first came to coventry but we finally got him to get baptized and it went great he loved it and now wishes he would have done it earlier and so do i haha but it was great! And um still looking for a camera but ill get one soon haha, Ill print off the pictures from Elder Nimers camera and try and send them to ya!
Anyways The vietnamese family is doing a little better we had to tell Thanh that he needed to move out in order to get baptized and the only problem is is we need to find him a place to stay and he is willing to do that, They really want to be baptized and are willing to do whatever it takes so thats so good to hear!!
Thats about it for the week, except for the fact that me and Elder Nimer almost got in a fight haha, We were cycling home and i look over and just see like these three kids just on top of this kid and he is just screaming for help so me being me i hop of my bike run over and I push one of then Elder Nimer pushes one off and then i go to push the 3rd kid off and he swings and luckily i saw it comin and was able to dodge it so i just push the kid on the ground and am sitting on top of him holding him down and the other kids all run off and this kid is just cussing up a storm and im like chill bud just chill out and ill let you go, im not going to let you go tell you chill out and so he finally calms down and i let him up and he starts walking away so we go and hop on our bikes and i look around and that kid and like 6 of his buddies are just sprinting at us so we hop on our bikes and just out run them but wow it was a closey haha but the lord is on our side so im not to worried haha!!
Anyways thanks for all the info on the buddies there all studs and they all deserve success and im sure that is all they are seeing!

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Booooooooooouyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
So conference was amazing i absolutely loved it!! Wow, So many questions answered, so many problems fixed ahhhhh it was so good!! So I would have to say my favorite was also Elder Hollands wow he is just so powerful you just cant beat what he said, I loved it even more though because many of the things he taught helped me realize how much he really went through and that it isn't to be taken lightly and that has helped me as i have been teaching people about it, it has a special spirit that no one can deny and it has helped my teaching improve and i am greatful for that!! Those men are all inspired its amazing! I watched it in the stake centre by the way just in case you were wondering on the satelite broadcast and mother we do get the ensigns at zone conference and im stoked to read over them all again and recieve more insight!!
So this past week well its one of those weeks that was good but also not good, We have 2 people from Vietnam that are supposed to get baptized real soon and me and Elder Nimer this whole time thought they were married so when we taught the law of chastity we thought it was going to be no big deal and then turns out they aren't married and they have tried to get married but can because they don't have permanent residency so it has just been a big mess running around trying to figure out how and if they can get married so pretty hectic and we are still working on it so hopefully this week we can get it rolling! but thats about all that was happening this week!
Anyways, How is everybody?? sounds like all is well, What color did you paint your room?? i tell you what you are never satisfied are you haha, that wall probably has about 50 different colors of paint haha!! Im excited for the package nothing better then the american stuff!!
Mission life is great, stressful at times but amazing most the time!! And stoked to know that tyler is planning on a mission, Best decision of my life, i know that me just giving up 2 years the lord will provide the rest so my life is all set!
So how are my beaver Brothers? i'm hearing from my boy Chili but where is the rest at?? How they doing how is Big Dizzle? How Is Oldroyd?? How is Noel?? How is Eyre?? How is Beaumont?? How is Foster?? How is EVERYBODY??? Hopt to hear from you all soon!!

Letter March 31st 2009
Hey Hey
So wow what a week! lets just begin haha, So right after i get done emailing last week me and my comp go to walk out of the library and i see Emma the lady that was supposed to get baptized this weekend so i go over talk to her and she kept saying Elder Davidson its not to late to change my mind is it, and I just was like Emma there is no changing your mind you want this and i know you wont regret it and well it all seemed good and so i said ill see you later tonight ok, so then me and Elder Nimer leave the library and go clean the flat and what not but then we go out to our appointment with her and she wasn't home, so i was getting a little nervous but i was like no problem something just came up, so i ring her phone and she is like Elder Davidson I cant do it i need more time, I cant be baptized so i spend an hour on the phone reading scriptures to her and promising her blessings and telling her experiences and all this good stuff and she finally says ok i will do it. So i set up an appointment for the next day and all is fine so i go to sleep that night and sure enough at 1 in the morning i get this text saying Elder Davidson I cant do it i dont wanna be baptized, so i lose a whole night of sleep because im just praying and searching for scriptures to read to her and my companion is just sleeping like a baby how he managed to sleep through the ringing of the text i dont know, so the alarm goes off and im just sitting at my desk and my companion was like what are you doing and I just throw the phone on the bed and have him read the text message and then i show him the 2 pages of notes that i came up with during the night on how we are going to resolve her concern, so i call her that morning and just said Emma we are going to be around your area can we come talk to you and so she comes outside and Me and my companion spend another 2 hours resolving her concern and she finally says she will go through with it AGAIN!!! So Then saturday comes and i have to call her every hour to reassure her that everything will be alright and then she wont regret it and man was it alot of work so 5:00 p.m. rolls around and she shows up to the baptism and says Elder Davidson I CANT DO IT!!!! So me and her and my companion go for a walk and while everyone is waiting in the chapel for us we are resolving her concern once again and finally I read her Alma 7 and she says ok thats it ill do it lets go, and finally after all the heck of the week we finally got her in the water, oh man was it a good experience as well and on sunday when she recieved the holy ghost it was just as good!!! She loved it, She has been calling me and calling me and just keeps saying thank you so much elder davidson for not giving up on me i dont know what i would have done with out this and all this good stuff and so through all the heart ache and lack of sleep it was all worth it in the end!!!
So ya that was my crazy crazy week, but it flew by thats for sure!! It sounds like everyone is doing good, Zach got a new Boat? (spoiled) Cant wait to take some girls out on that when i get home :) Anyways is everyone excited for Conference because i know i am!! I don't understand why i didn't like conference back home, I mean a real life prophet is speaking to the world, and is saying what God told him to say, There is nothing more exciting then that!!!
I haven't got a camera yet but im getting one today, i got a bike though and wow is it good to have a bike that isn't a junker!!!! The Flat mates and getting loads better im getting used to living with the english guys so its good we are becoming buddies so its all good all good!!

So wow what a week! lets just begin haha, So right after i get done emailing last week me and my comp go to walk out of the library and i see Emma the lady that was supposed to get baptized this weekend so i go over talk to her and she kept saying Elder Davidson its not to late to change my mind is it, and I just was like Emma there is no changing your mind you want this and i know you wont regret it and well it all seemed good and so i said ill see you later tonight ok, so then me and Elder Nimer leave the library and go clean the flat and what not but then we go out to our appointment with her and she wasn't home, so i was getting a little nervous but i was like no problem something just came up, so i ring her phone and she is like Elder Davidson I cant do it i need more time, I cant be baptized so i spend an hour on the phone reading scriptures to her and promising her blessings and telling her experiences and all this good stuff and she finally says ok i will do it. So i set up an appointment for the next day and all is fine so i go to sleep that night and sure enough at 1 in the morning i get this text saying Elder Davidson I cant do it i dont wanna be baptized, so i lose a whole night of sleep because im just praying and searching for scriptures to read to her and my companion is just sleeping like a baby how he managed to sleep through the ringing of the text i dont know, so the alarm goes off and im just sitting at my desk and my companion was like what are you doing and I just throw the phone on the bed and have him read the text message and then i show him the 2 pages of notes that i came up with during the night on how we are going to resolve her concern, so i call her that morning and just said Emma we are going to be around your area can we come talk to you and so she comes outside and Me and my companion spend another 2 hours resolving her concern and she finally says she will go through with it AGAIN!!! So Then saturday comes and i have to call her every hour to reassure her that everything will be alright and then she wont regret it and man was it alot of work so 5:00 p.m. rolls around and she shows up to the baptism and says Elder Davidson I CANT DO IT!!!! So me and her and my companion go for a walk and while everyone is waiting in the chapel for us we are resolving her concern once again and finally I read her Alma 7 and she says ok thats it ill do it lets go, and finally after all the heck of the week we finally got her in the water, oh man was it a good experience as well and on sunday when she recieved the holy ghost it was just as good!!! She loved it, She has been calling me and calling me and just keeps saying thank you so much elder davidson for not giving up on me i dont know what i would have done with out this and all this good stuff and so through all the heart ache and lack of sleep it was all worth it in the end!!!
So ya that was my crazy crazy week, but it flew by thats for sure!! It sounds like everyone is doing good, Zach got a new Boat? (spoiled) Cant wait to take some girls out on that when i get home :) Anyways is everyone excited for Conference because i know i am!! I don't understand why i didn't like conference back home, I mean a real life prophet is speaking to the world, and is saying what God told him to say, There is nothing more exciting then that!!!
I haven't got a camera yet but im getting one today, i got a bike though and wow is it good to have a bike that isn't a junker!!!! The Flat mates and getting loads better im getting used to living with the english guys so its good we are becoming buddies so its all good all good!!
Well Family i love you hope your week goes good, and ill hear from you in about a week, Tell everyone you see hello for me :)

Letter March 3rd 2009
So..... I have been waiting for this package all week and nothing and now i know why!! dont worry about it mother its all good!! NO worries ok! im sure that all will work out for the best and so i have no worries! I have bigger things to worry about haha!
Hopefully the shirts dad picked up are slim fit because the ones out here that i have for home are huge!!!!! But if he didn't no worries ill be alright!! by the way the weather is getting warmer! i only have to wear 1 coat instead of 2 so its great haha!!
so how is everybody?? how is t money? how is carlie? how is everybody!! I swear its been fer days since i have heard from either of those two! hopefully they are doing good!
But out here things are going great! the animal house is spotless haha! today instead of working out we thought we better clean seeing how president is coming to take me and elder rawlings out to lunch and we better make the house look good so we dont get in trouble! Terrible reason but hey it got the house clean haha!! Anyways we have a baptism this week so im excited for that it will be way good! His name is Iskram and he is from bulgaria, and im glad that i am baptizing him because in about 10 years he will be filthy rich and he will be able to hook a brother up haha jk!! He is awesome and is already sharing the gospel with his family back in bulgaria! he phoned them up and told them to go to the church over there, gave them the address and all oh man he is a stud and his baptism will be great!
We have some cool new people with baptismal dates but satan works so well that people just come and go so quickly, so we wont count the eggs yet! Me and my comp are getting along pretty good, we have had a couple throw downs but hey we are both hard headed and stubborn and want it the way we want it haha but its all good we always end up going back and makin a joke out of it! He is a stud though love the kid to death!
But ya not much this week but next week im sure there will be lots more to tell about how the baptism went!! All i can say is that the lord always provides no matter what it is he will provide!!
I love you all have a great week!! Thanks for all you do for me you are so amazing!!
Cheers,

Short sleeve! 15 and 1/2 slim fit haha!! all my are getting kinda wore but they will last for a while! if he wants he can just put a little extra in the bank and ill buy myself but whatever its up to him im not that needy haha!!!
And well the bathroom well we had the senior couple come and inspect our flat and well lets just say the results weren't great so we spent pretty much all p-day cleaning up the flat and well it looks spic and span now!!
By the way Hydis lets just say that baby is good looking haha, it must take after elder davidson thats all i can say haha!! we know he didn't get those good looks from his father mathew haha jk, speaking of mathew fool dont you be complaining about my madres homemade cookies i would kill for some of those right now oh man oh man!!
Speaking of food i ate the worst meal of my life the other night seriously the guy put cat food on some rotton mashed potatoes holy cow i was gagging while i was eating it but seein how i am a missionary i had to compliment him and tell him it was good and that i enjoyed it but wow that night i spent the whole night next to the toilet oh boy it was nasty thats for sure!!

I love it we just teach teach teach and a little tracting.... most of the finding we do is on our way to appointments and we stop people while we are on bikes its hard but its fun at the same time me and my companion just box people in so they cant go anywhere its great haha!! but coventry is the blessed land! the lord is blessing this place like crazy! he is just putting those people who are going to be receptive in our paths! like one of our projections name harold, we were getting home at night it was 9 o clock and we see this guy and i was like hey mate you wanna come to church on sunday and he was like yes so we taught him he came to church and now he has a baptismal date oh man i just love it!!
