Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Dear Family & Friends,  

We have several invitations of places for Thanksgiving but haven't decided where to go yet...but at least this is a good sign that so many members like us.  I know we will be playing a Turkey Bowl at 8:30 AM that morning though!  So that should be pretty fun.  We have a Preparation Day today to do laundry and email and shop till 1:00 PM so that’s why I am able to email today.  I am thankful to be here serving and being able to invite others to come unto Christ. 

  

The musical number went great yesterday.  Music has a special connection to the spirit.  I love it so much. 

The work is going swell.  We just keep trying to build the Lords Kingdom wherever we are.  We have been working more with the members and it is looking like the missionary work among them will be picking up soon.  They trust us and are getting excited about the work.  Hopefully we will begin receiving more referrals from the Ward.  It's incredible how much quicker investigators progress when they are introduced by a member or have a lot of member support.  People are making big changes in their lives and lifestyles.  They need the support and as we reach out as the Spirit directs they truly feel the Lord reaching out to them as well. 

We have so much to be thankful for and the Lord continues to bless each of us as we faithfully march forward with unshaken faith in Him and keep the Commandments, which we have been given so that we may be blessed.  I love this Gospel and how beautifully perfect it is.  My testimony and my conversion grow stronger each day as I study and apply the Gospel.  Consistently striving to live the Gospel, and applying the atonement to do so, is how we become better sons and daughters of God each day.  It is how we will become like Him someday. 

Teach pool...two of our baptismal dates were set, and then they went out of town.  So we need to reset the dates this next week.  And then we set two yesterday while we were out contacting.  Hopefully they will continue to progress.  The Spirit was in both lessons strongly so hopefully they will remember that and desire it more in their lives.  We also found a potential new investigator who we could tell felt the Spirit when we shared a quick message about the restoration.  He works long hours all week but we have an appointment for this next Saturday.  I think he will be a strong investigator if he keeps his appointment and we are able to meet with him.

Well if Brother Norton is in Cleveland he will need to drive South about an hour to Cuyahoga Falls.  So maybe if he visits the Tallmadge Ward in the Akron Stake we will see him!

I love you all and hope you have a great week and happy Thanksgiving! 

Love,

Elder Weaver
