Hey Mom,

Yep, that's the case, the Littlefields will be home in March and they will be having us move probably very very soon, but that's okay. We already knew that, but thanks for filling me in. I could definitely be in the area. Transfers were today and I didn't get moved but I'm getting a new companion tomorrow named Elder Kyle Smith. He came out in June which makes me senior companion! That means I get to drive, YES! Also...I'm now district leader! CRAZY! We'll see how well I do!

We were able to teach 14 lessons this week which isn't fabulous but it is better than last week and this week felt like we were a lot more busy and productive which is what is really important. We picked up two new investigators this week. James and his girlfriend Alex seem very interested and very open. He is excited to read the Book of Mormon and before we could commit him to do so he said he was going to. So I have a lot of confidence that he will come to a knowledge of the truthfulness of the Church and be baptized. There's another guy, Ron, who's wife is relief society president. He's not a member, but he doesn't see any faults with the Church, I think the main problem is that he just doesn't feel like he "KNOWS" when really he doesn't need to have a 100% knowledge that it's true. We committed him to baptism but he turned us down for that reason, but he seems like he's really really close.

I'm soooooo jealous that you got to have the Chamber Singers perform for you at the Relief Society party. I'm really jealous of Kody right now too, this was the best time of the year!

Wow, I am jealous that you got some snow. It was supposed to snow here where I live, but it didn't. It snowed above us a little ways though so we have been seeing lots of cars with snow on them.

I'm doing my best to stay upbeat and positive about the situation I was thrown into, it hasn't been too bad. Now I get yet another new experience and it's going to be just as crazy...district leader?! CRAZY!

Love you tons,

Elder Jay Davis

Hey Dad,

I am staying here in Loma Rica, Elder Houx is going to Mt. Shasta! He gets snow...totally jealous, but glad to be staying. I will be getting Elder Kyle Smith as my new companion, he's been out since June (6 months) so I am senior companion. Crazy huh?! What's even crazier is that I'm now the district leader...AHHH!! Well I'll have to work really hard, but I know I can do a good job. (I get to drive cuz I'm senior,WOOT!)

It is definitely nice having lessons to teach, plus this week was much better than last so that's good.

Man, we have GOT to get ourselves past this stinkin' Las Vegas Bowl. I'm glad we are going to a bowl though. Oregon State, man, that'll be a really tough game!

Well I can't think of much new to tell you either. Thanks for all of the updates.

Love you,

Elder Jay Davis
