Dear Family & Friends,
Happy Tuesday! The library wasn't open on Monday, Labor Day, so we are all doing our emailing on Tuesday this week. I bet the Facer's were all smiles on Sunday. That’s great to hear he made it home and has that missionary spirit just radiating off of him. I'm glad to hear about the missionary lesson in primary! I actually just listened to a talk this morning by Elder Ballard about how a little girl in primary heard a lesson on missionary work and went to the only non-members she knew and invited them to hear the missionary lessons. She took a loaf of banana bread over to the nonmember’s home and said that she would give it to them if they would let the missionaries in. From that the missionaries came over and they were eventually baptized and sealed in the temple. It’s amazing how each of us, even from the time we are small can bring souls to the light and truth.
I will be starting to train a new Elder next week and am so excited. It will definitely bring more responsibility, but I know it will be a wonderful new experience for me to grow and become a better missionary.
I am so excited for General Conference next month as well! General Conference has a whole new meaning for me and I look forward to hearing what the Lord has to say this next month. Some incredible movements are happening in the work. This work just keeps picking up speed and will continue to. What an exciting time!
Sister Gleed was a wonderful example to all of us who knew her. She truly endured to the end and is a shining example of what we can become as we keep our covenants and live the gospel. It's good to hear she has gone peacefully into her next part of life. What a great experience for you Dad to have been with her before she left.
Each day I understand more and more of this Gospel and gaining a stronger testimony. I realize that this is something that I must do each day for all of my life. We must be constantly progressing in the Gospel. Moving forward is the only way. We must always be progressing so that we will understand our eternal salvation. If we receive Celestial glory then we will have eternal increase and progression. How we live our lives and what we desire in this life carries over in the life to come. This must be our desire to progress if we are to inherit that highest degree of glory in the life to come.
I love you all and hope you all have a great week.
Love,
Elder Weaver
