Week 64: Tough Week But Things Are Coming Alive!!! 10/29/2019

Hey ya'll! Sorry for the confusion of me not writing yesterday. We actually had a meeting yesterday and I got to talk to my mission president for a bit! It was a good time! The sister training leaders in our zone gave an amazing training on being motivated by the Atonement of Jesus Christ. We listed a ton of things on the board of who Christ is to us personally and it was very cool to see the many thoughts that were put into it. There are many things Christ did for us, and if that doesn't motivate us, I don't know what will. I have come to find while being on my mission that trying to do it by myself does not work at all. Missionaries need the Lord to help us with our efforts because first and foremost it is all his work. He knows what's going on, and he knows in whom he is preparing. Also, we need him and his atonement to constantly pick us up and keep us moving forward because times can be super hard. I don't know what I would have done without that driving power to get us through the hard times. I know that he is real, and that he is the son of God, and his sacrifice is there to help all of us and to help us have an increase of hope.

Well, I don't really have much to say about this week. It was a LONG stormy and freezing cold week. I think Oklahoma decided to skip Fall because it still felt like summer like a week ago, and now currently it feels like Winter. I think we are in for quite the rowdy winter if this is already coming along. Since the work has been slower here, it was a week where we really had to grind out trying to find people to teach. We have been working in every possible way we can and we have found a few people who seem somewhat interested in the Gospel message. I think over this weekend I was a little frustrated because we had set up these appointments and most of them fell through. One in particular, we talked to this lady for 30 minutes on her front porch and she seemed pretty excited to have us back over. When we showed up, she acted like she didn't even remember who we were. There was that plus many other appointments that fell through the mud. It's ok! Just have to be positive and keep seeking the elect. We have an appointment today with Blair soooo just pray for us that we might be able to get in with her and have a solid lesson with her. It will be much appreciated.

Well, I'm very excited for these upcoming weeks. I hope we will start seeing some more fruits of our labors, but I am committed to be patient for them. I know that the city of Norman is where I need to be. That either there is something the Lord wants me to learn while I'm here, or legitimately, there is someone in specific that awaits my arrival. I'm bound to find out! Well, thanks for all the love and support. I'll talk to you all next week to see how things go!! Love you all!!

Love,

Elder Weese
