Dear Family & Friends,
The work just keeps building and moving forward each week. The mission is experiencing growth and change and exciting things are taking place. We will hopefully be having a few baptisms these next couple weeks and pray our investigators will stop ending up in the Hospital or having family there. I never knew how busy hospitals were...until now. They are all doing ok now and are recovering.
Something that I have been thinking a lot about is how critical it is for each of us as members, investigators, missionaries, etc. need to constantly be learning and developing our relationship with our Heavenly Father and our Savior Jesus Christ. It is important to always be making progress each and every day in developing our relationship with them and our testimony of the Gospel. Prayer and scripture study are two of the basic but vital keys in doing this. We must each drink from the living waters of Christ each and every day. When we do this we progress and make the changes necessary to living the Gospel. When we are not progressing we are stagnant. We cannot be stagnant. We must progress and move forward each and every day. If we aren't we aren't fulfilling our purpose here on this Earth. Something that is important for each of us to understand is How to live the Gospel, comes from understanding the Why and the What. Why=Doctrine, What=Principle, and How=Behavior. As we follow this pattern in understanding the Gospel we will understand how to live it. Pray and feast on the scriptures daily. By this our behaviors will change and allow us to become what our Heavenly Father wants us to become; Faith unto Action. Our works and desires are the key to our salvation. As we develop our relationship with Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ, through the Spirit they will guide us to happiness and fulfillment of our purpose. Trust in Him and everything is possible.
I love you all and pray for you each day.
Love,
Elder Weaver
