Dear Family & Friends,
All-righty lets get right to the
teaching pool. So Mark and Paul
both have a date for April 14th. Mark is progressing pretty well and came
to stake conference. Paul is kind of down right now, and is having a hard
time focusing. Hopefully this week he will pick back up to his normal
self. Satan try's to bring us each down, but I know as we focus on our Savior
and His Atonement we can grow and strengthen ourselves against the
adversary. Junior came to church this last week and we are meeting with
him on Tuesday night. Christina Jones and her family are moving into her
moms house this week, just found out, so we are trying to get some priesthood
and relief society members to help us move them on Thursday. All the
university students are out on spring break right now...so after next week
we should start meeting with them again. They have 2-week
spring breaks! Brian we are going to try and get some members to call or
visit him. He's hard to get a hold of, but he needs to have
contact. There are two members we are going to try and get him in contact
with. Brother Perry our Branch Mission Leader was asking about him and I
think will be getting involved there. Brother Perry's wife passed away
last week so he has been focusing on that. The funeral was beautiful and
spirit filled. Many nonmembers and less-actives came and felt of the
Spirit there. She touched many lives. I think there are several
opportunities to share the Gospel as well as strengthen others as a result of
the services this last week. Brother Perry asked if I would sing "A
Poor Wayfaring Man of Grief" at the Funeral this last week. It was
one of her favorites. I didn't realize how long that hymn was!
Elder Tollefsen has been making great
growth the last couple days. He is becoming more confident with the
people and himself. We both had a wonderful training meeting this last
Friday in Cleveland. The Spirit edified both of us and we are excited to
continue working here in Tiffin. The weather has been beautiful and
people are becoming nicer and more open to talking now that it's nice
outside.
Continue helping those youth in
the ward. "Frustrate the
Distractions" -Pres. Sorensen. As they understand the Why of the
Gospel they will make changes and find themselves making correct choices
consistently.
I forwarded new info about our
mission president that will be coming in July 2013. See the letter after this one.
Thank you for being wonderful parents.
You are both so strong and I thank you for all you have done in raising me and
helping me to become who I am today and will be someday. Parents have such a profound impact on
the future. It's one of the most sacred callings, and it has always been
the thing that Satan has sought to desecrate and destroy since the
beginning. The Family Proclamation is a document of truth. The
prophecies at the end of that proclamation are true and happening in the
world. Christ invites us to strengthen ourselves, our families, and all
those we meet to stand for truth and righteousness. A great quote by Elder
Nelson is "The price of peace and happiness, is righteousness."
This is truth and will never change. Satan does all he can to convince us
otherwise. But as we stand for truth and righteousness our example will
shine and be accepted by every soul who is a sincere seeker of truth. We
have each been called to help in our Fathers work, in helping to "Bring to
pass the immortality and eternal life of man." (Moses 1:39) As
we each seek to strengthen our Families and loved ones in the truth miracles
will occur, lives will change, and we will fulfill our purpose as children of
our Heavenly Father. His plan is perfect; all He does is out of love for
us.
I love this Gospel and the opportunity
that I have to carry the message of salvation to my brothers and sisters here
in the Ohio Cleveland mission.
I hope you all have a safe and
blessed week!
Love,
Elder Weaver
