Only So Much Time!


Dear Family & Friends,

I am having a great week and am looking forward to this one! 

So emails...we email at the library and it only gives us a certain amount of time, in addition they just put up a new system for myldsmail and it is dragging and moving slowwwwww.  That is why time has been shorter these last weeks.

All right, so teaching pool:  We have a pretty solid, larger teaching pool right now.  We have been able to strengthen the investigators we had and have been finding new people which we have begun teaching as well as are still trying to schedule with.  Those we haven't been able to schedule with are interested, but they work crazy schedules.  Scheduling is a pain...getting their schedule, ours, and then getting members out with us at that time make it difficult at times.  I know how important members and fellowship is for each and every investigator.  Members enrich the lessons so much and help the conversion process, which makes it go so much smoother.  When they start developing relationships with people who are already striving to live the covenants they are working towards, they feel the support and begin to see for themselves that they too are capable of making changes.  Sometimes it's difficult when there are only a handful of members to take out, but from small things are great things brought to pass.  Each of them has a strong testimony of the Gospel and are powerful in there conversions.  Now we just need to get them to know those we are teaching.  It takes some sacrifice on there part, but blessings and increase of the Spirit will make it so worth it for each of them.  Currently there is Bryan Alford, Paul Collins, Dianne Kimmet, Tim Molter & Christina Jones, Howard, Freeman Family, Florez Family, Dave Platt, Sherry Kent, and others will soon be there as well.  They each have different challenges and want to come to know for themselves if this message is true.  We just need to help them stay focused on their commitments and goals and continue to help them understand the Doctrine of the gospel and how it will bless their lives.  We love each of them and are doing our very best to serve them and help them live the Gospel.  They are each working towards receiving an answer and being baptized.  

Time is almost up again!  Stupid time restrictions...  Ok cool story.  Tim Molter and his girlfriend, soon to be his wife, now that they want to be baptized, have three kids ages 14, 6, and 2.  They have changed so much in the last month.  Ugh! I wont have time to finish, I will start next week with this story...sorry!  I am also working on a handwritten letter.  I love you all so much and hope you have a wonderful week!

Love,

Elder Weaver
