This will be short. There was a transfer today. I stayed up in Colne/Nelson(Burnley North) and Elder Rawlings went to Blackpool. Elder Carter came to serve with me here. He is from Utah. He has been out for about a year, and he is very smart. I will try to send pictures.

I love the fruit of obedience. The Spirit heightens all of our faculties. It helps us to look outside of ourselves. We are able to have a greater impact on the lives of others. The Lord is able to direct is ALL things. There are so many inexpressible blessings that come. And with sin, the opposite is true. It all comes done to inviting the Spirit, or driving away the spirit.

We have focused on helping the investigators to progress, and some have not. We don't have many to start with, but a lady that we talked to on the street, but haven't taught yet, came to church on Sunday. She loved it! Her name is H****. She is originally from Zimbabwe. I love those people. We are supposed to teach her for the first time tomorrow, but she was also taught by Elders over a year ago.

We have not been having much success in people keeping their appointments. That is, of course, a focus for us - getting new investigators.

I love all of you, and wish that I had time to give a better e-mail.
This week has been very cold and snowy. The countryside is beautiful. I will send pictures, because I actually took some.

Love,

Elder Davies

A package should be on the way
