Old Habits Die Hard

Well, get ready for a surprise. .. I decided I am going to go to BYU-Idaho! Yeah I know right? I am actually being dead serious. Yes I hate the cold, Yes this was not in my plans at all.. So what's the deal? Well I am not exactly sure.. all I know is that I've had the strongest impression not to go back to Hawaii and to go to Idaho. I have NO IDEA how this is going to work out.. seeing as I already registered for Hawaii and the fact that I despise Idaho. haha
    Let me tell you though I know this is the right decision. . Just as much as I knew I should go on a mission. I fasted and prayed about it. I told God there was no way I was going to BYU-Idaho cause that would just be nonsense! By the end of my fast I felt so good about going there.. ha  Makes no logical sense, but at the same time it does. Anyone that has any tips or in's on how to get into BYU-Idaho for Fall let me know! I know this is crazy talk.. but I'm really serious about it.
    Sometimes on our road in life God makes us give up something we love for something even better. In this situation.. that's how I feel. I LOVE HAWAII. I am obsessed with it. I love the ocean. I love BYU it's the best. I love the time that I have spent there and the people I have met. I thought for sure I would just graduate from there and go on to get my Masters... I guess the Lord has different plans.. He always seems to have different plans. God knows I hate the cold.. so anyone reading this knows that my decision to go to Idaho has to be from Him because there is NO WAY I would have chosen this on my own.
     It has been a good week. I have had a terrible cold but other things are going really well. We set a baptisimal date for a little boy named Dawson Hazelitt! His family came to church this Sunday.. so we're super excited. I love that family. I don't know if I mentioned them before. I LOVE teahcing kids.. they are so humble.. they just get it. I would say alot more but I don't really have the time. Love ya'll

Sunshine in Helena

Running for the Cure for Breast Cancer

Well it was a good week! Last P-day I convinced all the Elders and my companion to hike Mount Helena. It was sooo pretty! Not exactly like Hawaii hikes, but beautiful nontheless. I also convinced my companion to run the 5k for Breast Cancer with me.. It was super fun! We live right by the captiol, it's a nice building I must say.

There's been a few nights I haven't been able to sleep at all.. so that was no fun. One of the days this week I was super tired and we we're walking to our dinner when we saw this old man with a broken arm (and very sick/tired looking) trying to mow his lawn.. He almost fell over! I was like Oh no way is he mowing this lawn.. So I asked him if I could mow it for him..(who cares if I'm in a skirt right? I've been walking all day anyway and it was hot and sweaty) I might mention I have not used a lawn mower in ages. I could count on one hand the times I've used a hand mower.. But I did it! The awesome part was Sister Valdivieso was talking to the Man as I was mowing. She asked him if he was interested in learning more about the chuch.. he said "Well I never have been until now, I am just so touched by your service". She then set up an appointment with him and his wife (he says his wife is afraid of us) then she found out he was going on vacation to.. guess where? St. George utah! haha He said he was planning on walking around the temple grounds because they are so pretty. Hmmm seems perfect. we'll see.

So we met with Sam and Tiffany again this week. We called and invited Tiffany to church (since she hasn't been coming much, just her husband) and she was so excited that we invited her! She's like "yes I can't wait to sit next to you girls, you are so funny". Ha hey if being weird works, I'll take it. She came. The best part was by default we had to teach the lessen in Gospel Principles because our teacher was gone.. We taught the restoration.. and watched the 20 minute restoration video. Man was it spiritual. At the end I felt inspired to share my testimony about my favorite convert Jane. I told them how I remembered watching this DVD with Jane.. and when I looked over she was bawling.. by the end my comp and I were bawling as well. By the end Jane finally knew she needed to be baptized.

Tiffany had tears in her eyes. Please pray for us to know how to invite her to be re-baptized. She is so awesome. I just love her.

I'm not gonna lie.. being close to the end of my mission is REALLY HARD on me. It's depressing. I know it's just part of life to move on.. but who would ever want to move on from this?

Love, Sister Davidson

A band of Angels coming after me

I love this song. .

Swing low, sweet chariot,
Comin' for to carry me home;
Swing low, sweet chariot,
Comin' for to carry me home.

I looked over Jordan,
And WHAT did I see,
Comin' for to carry me home,
A band of angels comin' after me,
Comin' for to carry me home.

If you get there before I do,
Comin' for to carry me home,
Tell all my friends I'm comin' too,
Comin' for to carry me home.

It's been a great week. First.. I was threatened at gunpoint.. a .38 to be exact. haha! So there's this city in our area called Montana city.. It's pretty country.. houses are up in the hills and far from civilization.. we went to this house on the top of one of said hills.. an old man answers the door and screams.. "I am going to shoot you, get the *BEEP* off my property! I'm not joking if your stupid enough to knock on my door I can kill you on sight"!... So of course I did what I should and bolted to the truck as fast as I could.. Well we were in a trio that day and the other two sisters are like casually walking slow.. all the while he is screaming "Get out of here now! Your making me sooo mad! while proceeding to throw his crutch at them!"  I'm like get the heck in the truck now!!!! I'm already in the truck and finally one of the sisters makes it in.. my companion is outside the truck picking something up very slow.. I'm like sister WHAT ARE YOU DOING GET IN THE TRUCK!!! haha she was picking up a couple mormon.org cards she dropped.. I'm like are you serious! Leave the cards! hahah it was kind of hilarious.. She was just in shock. I would have been ok if I got shot.. Spirit paradise sounds pretty gratifying.. I wouldn't mind a band of angels coming after me.
     Mothers day was nice. I don't think I told you about a lady named Elizabeth we met with a few weeks ago.. We'll we were out trying people and no one was answering.. then I told Sister Valdiviso.. Don't worry I've got a feeling we will find someone we never met today and teach them.. She's like yeah. . not even 5 seconds later.. a lady starts RUNNING towards us "SISTERS! SISTERS! wait!!!!, I want to talk to you"! It was Elizabeth. She had been inactive for 8 years or so. . shortly after she got baptized.. We got to know her and right on her door step We taught her about the atonement.. and it was AMAZING!! Long story short she's been coming back to church for 2 weeks strait now.. and the ward is embrassing her. My comp is like.. "how did you know? you always call stuff like that out before it happens".. Then I remembered seeing sooo many little miracles like that in my first area with Sister Buchanan.. She called stuff out all the time.. it was like she just casually went through all the miracles.. and I was astounded at them.. I asked her the same question.. she said.. I guess it's just that I expect the Lord to do these things.. I have been out so long that it isn't I don't recognize them.. it's just that they happen so often. Anyways .. It's just rad. that's all.
      Sister Michiels came to church this week with all her kids!!! It was the cutest thing I have ever seen. Since we've been bringing the kids to church the last month.. they were all able to sing with the Primary to thier mom. I almost cried. Geez I never ever ever ever want this to end. I can't ever type all th miracles I see in a week. But I can tell you I LOVE GOD. I love Him so much. Jesus Christ is my BEST FRIEND. Nothing is better than doing His will.. because He knows me best.

Nothing is Coincidence

Just thought you might like a tiny taste of what we sisters do all day. Just sing prmary songs.. thats all. This onw is give saiuid the little stream. It's a cute Primary CD/ ha. Can you tell we like being companions?

It's been a good week. We had transfers and I am with Sister Validieso for another 6 weeks! So that's good! Anyhow.. I don't know If I mentioned before that we cover 2 wards? Well We are at church from like 8-5 every Sunday. .. that's ALOT of church. I've never had to go to 2 wards plus two meetings every Sunday.. but It has it's benefits. You get to learn from different people.. and say alot of prayers.. people always ask us to pray. ha.

We're going to have another Sister with us for a couple days until her new companion comes here..So that will be interesting. haha I think it's awkward with 3 people. we'll make due.

 I love Helena. The Michiels kids came with us to church on Sunday. It's just us and the 4 kids.. hilarious. I feel like a mom but I seriously love it. They are the best kids ever..seriously

We have had some pretty awesome things happen this week. We ran into a less Active Brother Langdon.. who has been away for about 15-20 years.. After talking with him for a bit.. I found out he went to BYUH shortly after he joined the church in New York. I asked him wabout his missionaries.. some spiritalyu experinces he had were told.. I could see the spirit reminding him of the truth.. It was amazing. I asked him alot about BYUH and we actually had one of the same teachers who is still there! Long story short.. I don't think meeting him was by chance. There was just too much for us to talk about. I asked him to come back to church. I said the Lords needs you Brother Langdon.. your a great guy. He said.. it feels a little like I'm going to relay this situation over the pulpit someday.. I said nope you for SURE will. It was so awesome. I love being a missionary. I love being Bolod for Christ. I've learned so much out here. I know that everyone I meet .. it's not just a coincidence they are in my patyh. It's up to me to do something about it. What a priveledge it is to be here. So humbling.. and motivating. I love the Gospel. It's sooo true. no matter where you are.. how far you've gone. the gospel, the atonement of Jesus Christ can heal you. It has cleansed me from the inside out. I;ve nevver been happier. Love Ya'll Sis Davidson
