It Becomes More Clearly And True To Me!

Dear Family & Friends,

We are having a great week and had many opportunities to share the gospel.  It becomes more clearly and true to me every single day.  I love this work and this message I get to share.  It is truth.  I never knew how much this world needed the peace and happiness that comes from this truth.  They need it.  They hunger for it whether they know it or not.  I pray that members around the world will begin or continue to share this message along with each missionary.  This work will continue to roll forward with out stopping, so everyone needs to get on board and stay on board.  It will take work and sacrifice, but it will be the sweetest work and sacrifice we ever make as we continually look for ways to strengthen each other and those who haven't found the truth yet. 

I am so happy to hear that you all had a wonderful Stake Conference.  I hope you were all able to receive some wonderful revelation that will help you.  I have really learned to love meetings and identifying what the Spirit is trying to tell me. 

Thanks for sharing that story from Stake conference.  I will have to use that sometime soon and see if it sparks some more people.  It's incredible some of the things we can say to others and what will spark their interest in the Gospel.  We have a couple people that we met this last week tracting that seemed mildly interested until we brought up how much our message talks and gives direction to families.  One of the guys is a southern Baptist and the other not religious.  The southern Baptist named Dave Berry seemed to like us and although has been told to stay away from us talked with us for 30 minutes.  He talked about his 4 kids and how him and his wife were split for a while because they needed a break.  We then talked about how the Book of Mormon and the restored gospel strengthens and gives direction to families and how it has strengthened us and our families.  After hearing that he said, "I think this is something I need to seriously look into."  He accepted a Book of Mormon and we will be meeting with him again this Wednesday.  The other named Ryan wasn't religious but believed in God.  He was kind of shrugging us off and seemed disinterested until we heard that he and his wife were expecting their first child.  We then shared similar things that we shared with Dave about families and you could just see a shift in what he thought of our message and agreed to have us over on Thursday.  Sometimes we just got to dig till we find something that we can tie to the gospel.  I am so very thankful to have this message of truth that I get to proclaim each day.  

Members are kind of half and half right now.  We are going out on splits with them on Tuesday to go visit less-actives.  Hopefully good visits that night will really begin to spark excitement for the work.  We just need to get everyone seeing the blessings that come from the Lords work.  Once we are out of this lull this place should be a wonderful area to serve in.  Just getting everyone working together in an organized way is the key here.

Well I love you all and hope that you have a great week and get all caught up on all your work!  

Love,

Elder Weaver
