This week went well. I'm really excited for this next week, we have two baptisms this Saturday one is R... and the other one is a member's son who is nine years old, we have been teaching him. I still haven't got the package yet but when it comes I'll send you a picture of the huge spider that was in our house. It was bigger then the size of my palm, we killed it!
I bet that bishops fireside will be really inspiring, tell me about it in the next letter. That's so cool you guys got to clean the Conference Center. The pictures of Michael on the drum set was awesome.
There is a piano at our church, before Elder Johnson would play the piano during sacrament but now no one plays. The missionaries were telling the Bishop that I play piano, but I really don't want to play.
Wow, the sacrament meeting sounded great, President and Sister Burton, and Sean Hardy are going to be great missionary's. That's funny you mentioned D&C 68:6 Wherefore, be of good
Yes we have Zone Conference this Wednesday and now I'm really excited for those snicker doodle cookies.
That's funny Grant calls Michael ''Eric'' and McKay's host missionary was somebody he knew.
This week I really liked this talk by Elder David A. Bednar called Pray Always, November 2008
I really liked these two parts of his talk:
Morning and evening prayers—and all of the prayers in between—are not unrelated, discrete events; rather, they are linked together each day and across days, weeks, months, and even years. This is in part how we fulfill the scriptural admonition to “pray always” (Luke 21:36; 3 Nephi 18:15, 18;D&C 31:12). Such meaningful prayers are instrumental in obtaining the highest blessings God holds in store for His faithful children.
The prayers of prophets are childlike in their simplicity and powerful because of their sincerity.
This week I have been trying to focus on praying more sincerely and following some of the guidance in this talk. I have noticed that my prayers have been better and I have more purpose behind each one. I'm so grateful for the ability to pray everyday and knowing when we pray with real intent God will always listen to us.
Thank you for your letters.
Love you all,
Elder Weston
