Dear Family & Friends,
First off Mom and Dad, HAPPY
ANNIVERSARY! Sounds like you had a great weekend together and a lovely
"seeing each other" at church. :) Congratulations on 23 years of
marriage. Thank you for your faithfulness to each other and God. It
has established a strong family in the Gospel through your commitment to keeping
the covenants you have made. Thank
you, thank you, thank you.
My new address is 2635 N. Moreland
Blvd. Apt. 103, Cleveland, OH 44120
And yep, it is ok to send a package
to this address. Are you sending it now or next month at my Birthday?
Just so I can keep an eye out for it. The way package's work in this part
of town is a little sketchy...but none of them have been stolen so far. Bikes, I can have a member put it on Craig’s
list if I want to sell. Should I?
I am loving the Ward here and the
area. The members are great and we are focusing on helping them invite
people to something at least once a month. This is what the Stake
Presidency has asked members to work on here so we are helping by keeping it in
their remembrance. Many of the members here are medical/dental
students/residents. They have some crazy schedules, but it's ok, we will
work with them. They are solid young members so it's fun. The area
itself is very unique. Different than any other area I have served in.
There is the Cleveland side and the Shaker Heights side. The
architecture with many of the homes on the Shaker Heights side is very
interesting. Many cool designs and various types of stonework. They
are pretty cool. We live right outside a shopping/major bus station called
Shaker Square if you want to Google it.
We are working on another Mission
President's Fireside for the Kirtland Stake in May currently. We are
going to hold it in the Kimball's old Ward in Solon. It is going to be a
great event. We are trying to get the word out now so that we can have as
much of the Stake and their friends attend as possible. The member work
is definitely driven by events, and this is one that is powerful. Everyone
should attend it at all possible. It helps non-members feel the spirit
and want to learn more, and it helps any member strengthen their testimony and
inspires them to continue sharing the Gospel.
We have the same investigators as
last week with a few more potential investigators we are following up with this
week. Zhaosu however sounds like he was anti'd/peer pressured by some of
his Baptist friends. We were bold and loving on the phone with him and
left it very open for missionaries in the future to help him receive the
Gospel. As for now he doesn't have a desire to continue meeting.
Still looking for the family that is
prepared here. I hope it is a family that we can teach before I leave
though. Either way I am going to keep seeking to find them till the end.
Elder Berryessa is awesome and a
great companion. He loves his mission, is obedient, has the spirit, and
is a blast to serve with. We have fun! He is from Santa Clara Utah,
down by St. George. He graduated in 2011 and went to a year of School at
Dixie State. He enjoys traveling, boating, and camping.
Well we have a busy Preparation day
ahead. Have to bring the cleanliness bar up a little more for this area
than it has been.
I love you all and hope you have a
great week. Be safe!
Love,
Elder Weaver
