Dear Family & Friends,
This last weekend was one of the most
memorable weekends of my mission. Alicia's baptism went
great! Everything was organized and flowed smoothly. The
talks were amazing. And Elder Tollefsen and I, Gabriella Richards,
and Sister Nord performed "Come, Thou Fount" there before
the baptism and I had a wonderful opportunity to baptize Alicia. She
just glows and is so happy! The spirit at this baptism was very
powerful. This area will continue to do well. At Alicia's
baptism she brought 7 family members with her, Sister Earl in the Branch
brought two of her friends Joyce and Charlene, and then we had Mark Gruber and
Dianne Kimmet who we are teaching attend as well. So a great turn out of
non-members that we are excited to follow up with and pray that we will be able
to begin teaching.
On Saturday we went
to Kirtland and Alicia loved the day up there. We saw the
temple, toured the Kirtland sites, and then went to the Johnson Farm. She
enjoyed it and definitely had some powerful lasting experiences up there.
It was really cool because in our tour group at the Kirtland sites we were
there, then there was a couple there who both served missions, Sister Esser and
Poppleton (Sister Missionaries giving the tour), and then the Sauber's her aunt
and uncle who are members. Every time one of us bore testimony about
something it was right towards Alicia. She noticed and it had a cool
impact on her and her experience there. On Sunday Alicia was confirmed
and there was a strong spirit in every meeting that day. In Gospel
Principle's she bore her testimony about what she has experienced and felt over
the last 6 weeks. Awesome weekend!
I have really come to love the people
here, and am excited for several people I have been working with for 6
months. Four investigators that haven't progressed much over the last 6
months have had some miraculous change of hearts these last 2 weeks. They
still have a way to go, but they are sincere and truly want to know and begin
living these things. I was called
to be a Zone Leader last Saturday when I saw President up at Kirtland. I
found out last night I will be serving in Lima, which is the Zone Leaders for
the Zone I am currently in. So I will have the opportunity to still hear
about and serve those that I have been serving for the last 6 months. My
new address is 2092 Edgewood Road, Lima, OH 45805.
Hahahahahaha I love the cardboard cut
out of me. I am so glad that I will be at Emily & Kelton’s wedding in
some form!
Well I sure love each of you very
much. I hope you have a great week. Be safe and have fun.
Transfers are tomorrow so pray we will all travel safely.
Love,
Elder Weaver
