RE: Letter to home
Ola, Mamae! :) (Love the tie graphic)
Sounds like you had fun with the
missionaries and friends. Also, thank you for your care package. I got it
today, but I haven't opened it yet. Ha-ha, Attica was there, tiny, but there.
Elder Evans and I began to wonder if we hadn't gone back in time. We met a nice
man named Marvin who was married to a member. We hope to go back to teach him
sometime. We cover a lot of towns like that: Wellington, Argonia, Milan,
Attica, Anthony, Harper, Caldwell, Oxford, Honeywell, South Haven, and Bell
Plane, to name a few. Yeah, we cover a pretty wide area. We are allotted 1,750
miles to drive each month...and it still comes close.
Sunday School is all right; we only
teach it if certain people (recent converts, investigators, etc.) are at
Church. We probably get about 30-40 people at Church each Sunday. We have more
on the records, but sooo many are less active or moved. Bishop gave us a
mondo-ward directory the other day. He has us keep that puppy under
lock-and-key. We know people's ages, if they have eligible but un-baptized children,
ordinations in the priesthood, and if they have been endowed or not. It's so
nice having super specific records.
Yes, we eat very well :) That's quite
the goal! We had a goal as a District to find 6 new investigators and I believe
we reached it.
I am so glad to hear Ashley has
accepted that call to serve. She will do great in the Ward and as a full-time
missionary.
That is a testing experience you had
at work. That is something I have been thinking a lot about lately. How people
twist and misunderstand things all of the time. This last Conference restated a
lot of the Truths that never change. Elder Evans and I were studying in the
Bible Dictionary the other day, and under Baptism it talks a little bit about
how whenever the Gospel has been on the earth in its fullness, the covenants of
baptism, and others we take upon ourselves including the Sealing are not new
inventions, but are ordinances that have been known and Given of God anciently.
I Love that scripture in Alma. Jesus The Christ is also something that has
brought me closer to my Savior. I studied 2 Nephi 2 this morning. I Love verse
8:
“Wherefore, how great the importance to make these things known
unto the inhabitants of the earth, that they may know that there is no flesh
that can dwell in the presence of God, asave it be through the merits, and mercy, and grace of
the Holy Messiah, who blayeth down his life according to the flesh, and taketh
it again by the power of the Spirit, that he may bring to pass thecresurrection of the dead, being
the first that should rise.”
You are a wonderful missionary! :)
Speaking of the resurrection, one talk that Elder Evans and I burnt on a CD
that we listen to a lot is called "Sunday Will Come" by Joseph B.
Wirthlin. If you haven't heard it in a while, I highly recommend it. It has brought so much peace to my soul!
We have prophets. They are men of God. Thank you for helping me understand and
appreciate the sanctity and divinity of womanhood and virtue. I hope I always
make you happy that I am your son. Because I am so happy that you are my Mom!
:)
Elder Evans and I get to spend
Halloween and probably Thanksgiving with Sister Mock because she always feeds
us on Thursdays. She is a nice older lady. We can't go out and proselyte at
night, so we will probably study with her and play scripture jeopardy, or put
puzzles together or something. I hope Your Halloween is fun, too! :)
Amor,
Elder Weaver
