Dear Family & Friends,
What a wonderful general conference!
It went by very, very fast. Each session had great messages for all of
our investigators, the Branch, and for me personally, to know how I can become
a better missionary and son of my Heavenly Father. We had Dianne Kimmet
to conference this last weekend...many things came up for others not being able
to be there unfortunately. But Dianne loved the session she was able to
attend, and just finished the Book of Mormon with our Mission Challenge of
reading it by the 30th of March! She has never read the Book of Mormon
cover to cover and she said she has loved it and found so much that applies
specifically to her as she has read. She plans on reading it again before
the year is over. We are hoping to help her identify and recognize the
examples of faith in the Book of Mormon to helping her commit to a date for
baptism. Her Mom is Catholic and she is working through that concern of not
disappointing her mom. I know as she has read the Book of Mormon her
faith has grown, and she has increased in her desire to be baptized and go to
the temple. Faith over Fear! I can't wait to meet with her this
week. I pray she will accept a date and continue to prepare for that
day.
We are hard at work here in Tiffin
striving to help those we have found to progress and seek for more of our
Brothers and Sisters to help come unto Christ. We met a pretty cool
guy named Tyrone Mormon this last week. We knocked on his door and
talked with him for a while. In our conversation he talked about how he
always got hit by teachers in churches growing up because of questions he would
ask. Like one of them was, "why is there the old testament, and new
testament? Did God mess up or something?" We then explained
the Old and New testaments to him and he said, "well that's simple, why
didn't they just say that?" We then shared the restoration with him
and shared an additional witness of Christ with him, the Book of
Mormon. We are hoping to meet with him again this Friday
(our usual day in Fostoria.)
John Lange said he is reading but
wasn't able to meet on Thursday or come to an sessions of conference because he
was moving and getting some final things done with going to school at Tiffin
University. We are planning on meeting with him this Thursday. We
gave him the site to watch the talks online and said he would check them
out...I have found specific talks for most of those we meet with and am excited
to invite them to watch them online with us. The words of the Prophet and
Apostles today are very powerful and the spirit is so strong each time they
speak. I know if they listen sincerely and with real intent they will
feel the Spirit as they are uplifted and invited to change and come unto
Christ.
Well I hope you have a great
week! Continue to grow in Faith and become what our Heavenly Father wants
us all to be! I love you!
Love,
Elder Weaver
P.S. I do have a mormon.org profile, type in “Chris Musical Theatre” and I should
be right there. Do you all have one?
