Hey ya'll, what's up? I hope everyone had a fabulous Easter back home. Literally, it was the one of the best Sunday's I have enjoyed out in the mission field. There is definitely a different kind of spirit on Easter Sunday, the speakers were definitely inspirational and the topics were on point on why we celebrate this holiday. We were asked to think about how much life would be different if we didn't have a Savior. I thought about it, and it narrowed down to “hopelessness.” Since we do have a Savior, we don't need fear through the unknown of different circumstances, and what is to come after this life. The chance that we have to receive new life from him comes from the power of his resurrection, which is why we celebrate Easter.
Well, it was a blast this last week. I think I might have forgotten to tell you guys this, but this last week I was in a trio companionship with Elder Neff and another missionary named Elder Wells because his companion went home a week ago so he needed someone to stay with to the end of the transfer. Being in a trio was way fun, it is definitely harder for knocking doors though because the people who open their doors open them and see 3 guys standing there in white shirts, ties, and name tags at the front door rather than 2, but it was still an awesome time. Transfers are in fact tomorrow, so that means this last weekend we did indeed get the news of what will be happening. Elder Neff will be going down to Lawton, I will be getting a new companion and his name is Elder Beckstrand. I don't know too much about him, I do know that he came to the mission in December but that's about it, and I will still be the district leader over here. I am very excited for this transfer to come, I am gonna miss elder Neff and his enthusiasm and positivity, I admire that about him, he is gonna have a blast down in Lawton. The mission keeps on getting faster and faster. I can't believe I am almost at my 9 month mark!!
Something very exciting that happened to us in the work this past week was we were able to start teaching a part member family named the Hansons. The dad Nathan Hanson is an active member and he is a Co manager for a car dealership. His wife, Holly, is less active, she is from Texas. Super sweet lady, but tougher than nails. She kinda was a head scratcher because I was wondering why she hadn't joined the church yet. It would have definitely been confused if I didn't know anything about her. She seemed like she already was. We had dinner with that family on Wednesday and she opened up to us about her questions and why she hadn't joined yet. She agreed to take the lessons to see if her questions would get answered, so that is a family we are gonna be working very hard with in this next transfer. We also had a baptismal interview for Mia Jeffery. She will be baptized on either the 4th of May, 25th of May, or 8th of June. They are still yet to decide which one, but we are very excited to be having another baptism pretty soon!
Well, thanks for everyone who thought of me over the Easter weekend and to those who sent packages out. I really appreciate everything ya'll do for me and the continuous support I have received! I can't wait to get a new week going! I love ya'll! Have an awesome week!
Love,
Elder Weese
