Dear Family & Friends,
So...This week has been a bunch of
meetings...but really great, spiritual, edifying meetings. We had
Leadership Training Meeting in Kirtland on Thursday. All of the District
Leaders and Zone Leaders met in the Joseph Smith Jr. home just north
of the Kirtland Temple. The Church recently purchased the home, and as
far as we can tell it was the first meeting held by the Church in the home
since Joseph Smith was run out of the home. Then we went to a
river...don't remember the name right now...but it was a place where Sidney
Rigdon and Oliver Cowdery baptized a man that they taught. Many people
from the town came to watch the baptism and after seeing this man be baptized
they asked who were the converts in the crowd. An additional 30 people
stepped forward and were baptized immediately. The power of
Godliness was made manifest. (D&C 84:19-21) We then had the
second part of our meeting in the trees along the bank. It was a great
meeting. We are ready to work and do all we can to help this mission
grow. The Zone Leaders then stayed the night in the mission home for
mission council the next day. That's where I had the opportunity to
perform "Savior, Redeemer of My Soul" by Rob Gardner with Elder
Ingersoll on violin and Elder Romerail on Piano.
I'll include more next week...tight
on time today sorry! I love you all and hope you have a great week!
Love,
Elder Weaver
