So the Good, The Bad, and the Ugly

May 7, 2012

Dear Family & Friends,

Well, well sounds like an exciting week and time of year!  Time is sure flying!  I can't believe how old we are all getting...just us kids I mean. My Birthday was fun, got a couple rounds of laser tag in, and then it was already time to go.  Prep days move fast.

So the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly...We had a great Sunday with Alicia and she is right on track for her baptism after church this week, half of the commandments, and a dry run for baptism.  The Bad, we didn't get to go to Kirtland this week because of some things that came up for people...we are planning on going the 19th, the day after Alicia's baptism; so it's all good.  We will go before transfers.  And the Ugly...well hopefully I wont face plant a back flip today because that hurt a little the last time we went and played soccer.  Ha-ha it didn't bruise too badly at all, but you could tell something happened.  Didn't damage the teeth though!  I brush 2 usually 3 times a day and floss each night.  However I will be excited to go to the Dentist again next year.

One of the ways I have seen the Lords hand this week...Robert (20), who we contacted last week, attends 2 non-denominational churches, one in Tiffin and another in Sycamore.  We met him and his roommate Taylor and Taylor's girlfriend Jessica last week.  Taylor and Jessica were down in Kentucky this week, but we stopped by and met with Robert again.  We taught the Restoration and had a great opportunity to show him mormon.org and LDS.org.  We saw a link to a new video on the importance of prophets today and decided to watch that video with him.  About a minute in he said, "I've watched this video before."  Turns out one of the Churches he goes to studies things from multiple churches and the Sunday after he met us they showed that same video about prophets and general conference to the whole congregation.  He also told us that his aunt was Mormon and her son is on a mission in Texas right now.  She just "happens" to be visiting his family this week.  It was really neat to see how the Lord has been preparing him in many different ways to hear this message.

Well sorry I got to run...Skype next week for Mothers Day?  It will probably be around 5:00 PM your time and 7:00 PM our time.  If it changes I will call you that day and schedule...and then Skype when we decide.

Love you all bunches and can't wait to see you.

Love,

Elder Weaver
