A change is better than a rest

Aubrey's new favorite treat!  Looks like some form of chocolate chip cookies
Love the smile and freckles!

Typical Argentine lunch and she really likes it!
Way to go on the carbs Argentina!


Hello again from Argentina! This week has been much better. Here are some highlights:
1. We have a less active member named Hilda. She lives in a super cool house with basically her whole extended family. She takes care of her 100-year old mother and has a pet iguana. I like visiting Hilda :)
2. We had a really great activity this week where we opened the capilla for tours. Everyone worked so hard to clean the capilla. Not many people came, but those who did were really interested in our church. After the activity we had two baptisms! They were the investigators of Elder Crowley and Elder Collier. The spirit was so strong.
3. The members are the best! I have so many Argentine moms :) 

This week I have been thinking a lot about time. My challenge this week is to evaluate your life. Does the way you use your time reflect what is truly important to you? Are you using every moment to the fullest? Our time on this earth is short. We don´t have time to sit in front of the tv and wait for happiness to fall into our laps. To be happy and successful we need to get up and do something. We have so many isles of time through out the day that we can take advantage of! My Grandma Hoopes always says,"A change is better than a rest." I believe that is true. Our purpose on this earth is to progress and grow. We must take advantage of every moment in our short days. Don´t wait until later to have the blessings of living the gospel. Why not be happy now?

Lots of love from Argentina,
Hermana Davis
