I Am The District Leader Here Now

April 16, 2012

Dear Family,

I am sorry about misinforming you about the title of the talk by Elder Bednar last week; it was actually entitled "Ask in Faith."  Sorry if that confused you at all!

  

Well this last week was transfers.  I am the District Leader here now and am looking forward to our Zone Development meeting on Wednesday.  Elder Tollefsen and I will also be singing a duet.  Hymn 197 O Savior, Thou Who Wearest a Crown.  Some great things from this last week is the power of the spirit through General Conference!  We had 3 investigators watch Elder Christoffersen and President Monsons Sunday morning talks.  The investigators were Sherry Kent, Kelsea Gordon and her friend Alison.  After they watched the talks it was incredible to see the visible change in each one of them.  With Sherry we talked with her a few days later and she said that things are now clicking, that everything is making sense to her like no other church has ever done for her.  She has felt that what we share is truth, but it just finally hit her after watching those talks.  Kelsea and Alison both learned so much about our message as a people and now understand our purpose in visiting so much better.  After they watched those talks we again shared Moroni 10:3-5 and 2 Nephi 33 where it talks about the Book of Mormon being the words of Christ.  They have seen how their faith has grown since meeting with us, and is now understanding that this is so much more than just learning about another religion or just meeting with educational purposes.  Something has changed in them as they have heard truth.  They are finally realizing this, and both now trust us and their fellow shippers the Grines enough to have told us some of their fears which has helped us know how we can help them progress so much more.  They will be moving at the end of the semester back home but we are going to get missionaries in their hometowns over there as soon as they are back.  I don't have time to talk about Alicia right now...but great things are happening there and we are hoping to go to Kirtland with her, her sister Sarah (24), Dianne Kimmet (another investigator) who just finished the Book of Mormon, and the Saubers!!  Exciting things I will talk more about next week! 

I love you all so much and pray you have a great week!

Love,

Elder Weaver
