Dear Family,
I am so happy to hear you are all
doing so well! I have been having a great week as well! I love you
all a bunch!
So I will be 20 years old this week,
and guess what my birthday gift to the Branch is? I get to speak to them
all in sacrament meeting! I am going to speak on the WHY of the
Gospel. I have been reading and pondering several talks and
scriptures on this and I am excited to begin organizing and preparing my
talk. The other 2 Elders in our district Elder Lincoln and Elder
Kitchen have birthdays on the 18th and 27th so we are
going to get together on P-day the next day and go somewhere to eat.
That's the plans for my birthday pretty much! Other than that I hope to
find a whole heap of brothers and sisters to teach the Gospel to! Happy
Birthday Elder Weaver, here are souls to save. That would be great!
So Alicia Bryant is doing
awesome! We are planning on going to Kirtland with all of them on Saturday,
May 5th. In one of our phone calls this week she told us how happy she
feels when she is learning in lessons or reading the Book of Mormon.
She has great desires to raise her son Javin (13 months) up in the Church.
The Saubers are doing amazing at fellowshipping and we are working together to
do all we can to help Alicia partake of this wonderful Gospel. She is great
and she is comprehending, applying, and committing to everything. She has
definitely been prepared.
Dianne Kimmet knows everything is
true. She is just getting over some fears of disappointing some of her family
members. We are trying to have her come to Kirtland as well, and are
thinking of committing her to a baptismal date in the same room of the school
of the prophets. That would be way neat! She is so close, just
needs to put faith over fear!
Mark Gruber was in the hospital with
pneumonia for like 8 days. He finally answered his phone and we were able
to find out where he had been after 2 weeks of not meeting. He said in
the hospital he had a lot of time to think about where he was in life and how
his addictions have been running his decisions. After 20 years in AA he
has finally decided to just say no to his addictions and he is looking to come
unto Christ and make the necessary changes to live a happier more peaceful
life. He is beginning to have his "change of heart." We are
excited to keep helping him find that happiness and peace!
Things have been going well.
Members are starting to catch the fire of the Spirit and their desires to serve
are growing. Investigators are making changes and are now desiring to
come unto Christ, and Elder Tollefsen and I have been growing and enjoying this
opportunity which we have to serve.
Well I hope you have a wonderful week
this week! I love you all very much!
Love,
Elder Weaver
