November 3rd, 2009

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!!

HeY Hey


So wow ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got moved this week!!! I can't even believe it!! My beautiful Coventry ahh man its gone!!! I'm gonna miss it!! 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!! More then the world!!

Sorry sent the email before i was finished haha!!

>Um know i haven't got hydis package but someones package came yesterday and we are going to go pick it up right after we leave so hopefully it is that one!!!

Anyways the work is going good! we had another baptism this weekend of Jason Bevins, My first "ENGLISH" baptism haha it went well he is a stud with a strong testimony!! 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!!! Those are the times that i just look at and smile!! I love it haha!! The hard times are the best times!

>But Ya all is going well we need a miracle for this 8 to come to pass but I have FAITH!! So we are going to get it!!!!!!

I love you all!! Thanks for all you do!!!

I miss you!!
