Re: Basta dizer ola!
Dear Family & Friends,
That is so excellent to hear about Brother
Sadler and Brother Kahn. I am sad to see Brother Sadler leave, but I know he's close
by. Yes! Alex, I've been writing him. I hope to hear from him in Uruguay soon!
Ha ha, yeah the plaque,...I don't care, as long as it's up there before I show
up, I don't mind. Family night with Ryken sounds way fun. I am so pleased with
Allison's decision to further her education. She will do so great. I will
definitely remember Nani in my prayers.
Elder Nash's meeting was so
inspiring. He is from Lynnwood, Washington actually. I got to shake his hand
and talk with him briefly. He gave all of the Elders hugs :) and I took sooooo
many notes. He did a lot of training on visits and following up. He and
President Bell both stressed The Book of Mormon. They said it would not cut it
to just know or believe The Book is true. We must have a deep and abiding
testimony of its divinity. He exhorted us to study the "Questions of the
Soul" section of Preach My Gospel, so a lot of my personal study time has
been dedicated to that. You could tell he loves us. He said, "That's
ridiculous! How can I Love you when all I did was shake your hand? But, when I
met each of you I received bits of insight and revelation concerning each of
you, and I love all of you!" It was an amazing meeting. He said when he
starts a new assignment he used to wonder, "Can I love these people as
much as the people in Lynnwood or some of my other assignments. But with each
opportunity to serve he finds that he does develop that same love for each
group of people he has been called to serve.
Today was a roller coaster. Elder
Evans and I packed up and left. There were 3 other Visa waiters going to
Brazil. I Love Elder Evans! I have learned so much from him. My goal before I
go to Brazil is to be happy to serve there, but very very very sad to leave, so
sad that I cry. I want to come to Love this area and these people to the point
that it brings me to tears. And guess what? Because I would be companion-less
for 2 days since transfers aren't until Wednesday, I am a temporary companion
with Elder Holbrook. I pick up my new companion, Elder Johnson, on Wednesday,
and guess what? I'm TRAINING!!! He's brand new. I am so excited and nervous but
I hope to do the best I can. Elder Holbrook is going to another area this
transfer, but for the next 2 days I'll be in Bel-Aire. I Love Wellington! I
Love Being a Missionary! God Lives. I know Him. I am working on getting to know
Him better.
That is excellent that Sister Sharon
met Trevor. Elder Evans tells me so much about that guy.
I Love Y'all! Fique suave!
Com Amor no Lar,
Elder Weaver
