Dear Family,
That's great that drug matches her cancer. This week we went to the temple twice and I put her name on the pray roll both times and I will continue to pray that everything goes well. That's awesome that the Ahlstrom's moved into the ward, I saw all of the daughter in the band. The daughter who is at Snow College is named Annie right?
That's cool you guys are running in the mornings and I want to run but my companions don't, so I can't. But my companion is really cool, we have been working hard, and we are hoping to have baptisms soon, we are teaching a few with baptism dates so I'm hoping they continue to
progress.
This week we went to the temple two times, it was very awesome, on Saturday we watched two couples from our ward get sealed. One of the couples has a little girl who is about 3 years old. Just about the cutest thing I've every seen in my entire life was when they were sealed to there daughter, seriously is was more cute then the little girl from Monsters Inc. I wanted to cry, but I didn't. I bet it was just as cute as Gabe baring his testimony in sacrament.
This week we taught English in the chapel, we are also in the process of marrying a couple so the wife can get baptized.
This week we focused on teaching about the Temple and Family History and it's really great because it's something completely different then any other religion and we can use the Bible to teach it all and the Book of Mormon to teach it more clearly.
We start out by teaching that Jesus taught that you need to be baptized to enter the kingdom of God (John 3:5). Then we ask them what would happen to someone who was never baptized or never heard about Jesus Christ. Then we ask them what Jesus did for the 3 day between his death and
the Resurrection, most think we was in heaven but it says is John that Jesus told Mary not to touch him because he had not gone to his Father, so we know he was not in heaven. We teach with 1 Peter 3:18-20 about the Spirit world and Alma 40, how Jesus taught the people there, and then we use chapter in 1 Corinthians about baptisms for the dead and Malachi 4 about the hearts of the fathers will turn to their children. This helps investigators understand the importance of the family, baptism and the restored Church. It's been really cool teaching about the temple because it focuses on the family more then anything else.
I hope you guys have a great week!
I love you!
Elder Weston
