Dear Family & Friends,
Thank you for your emails and
updates. It sounds like spring is finally springing out there and you are
able to enjoy some delightful weather. I love the springtime!
People are out more and seem more willing to talk with people.
I just got to this point in my letter
and the guy next to me started talking to me. He asked me where we were
from and I started explaining we are missionaries from the church etc. and he
says, "yeah, I can tell there is something different about you guys.
You carry a light with you and I noticed it when you walked into the
room." We just spent about 20 minutes talking and I learned that he
travels quite a bit. As we kept
talking he talked about how his mom passed away about a year ago and he just
finished a song about that experience that he went through and how God helped
him. He asked if he could keep in contact. I gave him a mormon.org card with our names and number on it. I am pretty much positive that if we are able to keep in
contact with him we could help him to start meeting with the missionaries
somewhere in his travels. He just left for a conference call, but I was
able to show him a little of mormon.org on my computer screen before
he left. He seems super solid. He travels a lot with his job but I
think he is ready to learn and accept the restored Gospel. If we can keep in
contact with him it would be super easy to set him up with some online
missionaries while he travels and then when he stays in a place for awhile get
some Elders or Sisters to come visit him. Very cool experience what just
happened. Can't really express it in words, but God definitely directed
this to happen today because I was going to sit some place completely different
when we first came in.
Due to our conversation however my
time on the computer is now pretty short. I will talk more about our
other investigators next week.
Love you all lots,
Elder Weaver
