Hey Hey Hey
Well what a week :) Happy New Year all :) We got a good 6 inches of snow last night so its amazing! Just like home its cold, kids are throwing snow balls at us, i'm throwing them back (still got my throwing arm) haha everything is amazing!! But sounds like everyone got a good ol relaxation moment just to chill haha well not Elder Davidson no chill time for him haha!! I loved it this week was great we had one of our investigators get interviewed for baptism and she passed and is doing so good her name is Emma Simpson. Also this less-active familie we are teaching has alot of familie that aren't members who are now really interested in the gospel and all have accepted a date to be baptized and well to say the least Caerphilly is exploding and the Lord is blessing it with loads of success!
The not so good news but the good news at the same time haha is that Elder Davidson is getting transferred to Leicester, where i will be serving as a Zone Leader there! President called me on monday and asked me and I was shocked i just said uh uh uh sure President, are you sure you dialed the right number haha, but i am excited it will be good! The even more crazy thing is I will be serving with an Elder that i came out with named Elder Perry!! He is the man and i am stoked to be able to serve with hime!!
The Snow however is kinda stopping me from leaving haha, noone in the UK knows how to drive in the snow so the country has shut down temporalily but no worries I will get to Leicester soon enough haha!! I don't know my address quite yet but I will send it to you next tuesday when i get there!
I learnt something this week which ties a little bit in with Katie's email, she talked about a song that her and Gracie sing called I am a child of God, well while we were sitting in sacrament meeting this sunday I was just pondering as i always do and thinking about the week and thinking on some things i could do to improve, and well the closing hymn came and it was I am a child of God so we started to sing it and the last verse sayed a line that touched me, it says "if i but learn to do his will i'll live with him once more" and wow I have sang that song a million times but this one time it hit me, its so simple, if we just learn to do his will we will llive with him once more, we will be happy in this life and we will be successful!! Same with my mission if i just simply learn to do all the little things no matter what, even Excercise in the morning no matter how tired i am I will have success!!
Now this familie is why i absolutely love my mission!! I learn something new every day and i understand how simple the gospel is and the plan that a father has for us!! I love it!!
I love you familie and i am greatful for the knowledge that i am a Child of God :) I miss you!!

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!!

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!!

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!!!
