Soooo, last email I talked a little bit about how the last week my motivation to go out and work was taking a slide. I felt the need to ask President in interviews what I can do to boost my motivation to work hard. He told me the reason why I have taken a slide, is because my love for the Savior has taken a slide. Not that I don't love the Savior or anything, I just need to find ways each and every day to help strengthen my love, faith, and testimony in him. We do that by learning more of him and what he did for us. As we learn of him, we recognize what he truly did for us, when we recognize that, we love him, when we love him, our desire to serve him grows. That has definitely influenced me and has driven me to build my relationship with him. I can definitly tell a difference with that and in reward, I was able to see many miracles happen. One that happened, is we got a new investigator named Diane, an old lady who lives in a nursing home who was a referral from the branch. She was sooo interested when we told her that God has made a plan for us to have the chance to live with our families for eternity. She had recently lost a husband and her greatest fear is that when she will go to heaven, she won't know who her husband is. Just imagine how miserable that would be to not know our families up in heaven. They call it the plan of happiness for a reason. Not the plan of misery!! We didn't have time to teach her the full lesson, but we will be going back on Friday to clarify it some more to her. Other miracles that I have seen in result to working hard was we have been able to meet some really awesome people as we have continued our search for those who are prepared to receive the Gospel. It is hard to meet people who are willing to learn more because everyone out here is soooo involved with the church that they already go to and most believe that it doesn't matter what church we go to, as long as we believe in our Savior, we are saved. C'mon faith vs works people.....
Yesterday, I graduated from being a greeinie. That was also a very rewarding experience. It was also very nerve wracking as well because in order to graduate, we had to teach all the lessons from preach my gospel BY OURSELVES to the trainers, AP's, or possibly President. I knew this day was coming for a while now and I was looking forward for it to be over. But, it was a really good experience though. I learned a lot from it and received so much advice and now it is time to go back to work and showcase all that I have learned from my 12 weeks of training. We also get our transfer docs this week as well. I will let y'all know what happens with that but in preparation for that, president told us that alll the former greenies our now in charge of the area they are currently serving at. I am soooo excited to see what is ahead as time goes on.
Well, It has been a pretty awesome, productive week. I hope you all have a really fun, safe, Halloween!!! Let me know how it goes. Love y'all!!!
Love,
Elder Weese
