Finding the Lost Sheep May 22, 2023

 Not too much has happened except in my last e-mail that never sent, we did a service for one of our friends named Jane and she needed us to catch 2 sheep because one got injured. We have several people we have been teaching but our main focus is on the part member and less active families. We have a baptism scheduled for the 16th with one of our friends. His name is Enoch. We are really trying to reactivate his family so he can have the support he needs. 

We gave out 2 book of Mormon's this past week one to the sister of one of out friends and another to our neighbour today. The best part of my week is seeing our friends at church because it means that they are actually trying to learn and it makes me so happy to see them wanting to grow.

On Friday we had a youth devotional with elder Christofferson which we watched over zoom. I took more notes in the one hour that he was there than for any other speaker before. He had the youth ask questions and he answered them. One question was how can we edify our callings? What he said was to act with righteous dominion and to use our callings and talents to bless and heal others.

Another thing is with the other missionaries in the last two intakes are doing is we are trying to do 100,000 push ups before our missions are finished for a total of 187/day.
And we've been pretty competitive with who can do the most in one day or in a row.

Love you and sorry for not writing for a couple of weeks.

Love, Elder Westover

Our Baptism (September 15, 2024)

  We had a baptism this Sunday so if you read any part of this, that will be the most exciting bit.. It's at the bottom. This week was a bit slow but I would still say it was good. One of us wasn't feeling well so getting out was a bit hard. Tuesday we had our District Council which we have each week. I gave our skills training about finding people to teach, I'm not sure how well I did but I felt like it was okay. Wednesday we had an exchange I was with an elder named Elder Biesinger and for his exercise in the morning he likes to run, so we went for a run that morning and it made me realise just how unfit I am currently Thursday we did our weekly planning and we worked on the program for our friend's baptism (more on that later) we also called/ messaged everyone who we needed to have participate in the baptism. On Friday we went with our district leader for Erwin's interview (Erwin is our friend). I was really excited but I also started to get nervous because I was...

The Past Few Week (June 10, 2024)

  This has been one of the best transfers I've had. Being with Elder Danielson has been really good. Especially because he wants to work hard his last transfer. I think up to this point I want to care less what people think and I'm thinking about how Joseph Smith was told his name was to be had for good and evil. And I want to put forward my effort to keep pressing forward and living every day like its the day of the second coming. On Tuesday's, while we're on out way back to our area, and that has been going really well. I also think that it shows that we want to work even though we know that's what we want to do it's good for people to see that desire to work. Last week we were going back and stopped by a member who gave us a referral for one of his friends but he didn't seem interested at the time. On Thursday we made a lot of calls which made for an interesting experience there were a few people who weren't even who we were looking for. And Thursday ...

Horse on the Road

  Our friend down in Benalla, Michael still seems to be quite interested. We were going to invite him to church this week but he is down in Melbourne for a couple of weeks. We also had a lesson planned with our friend Robert but for some reason he won't answer phone calls or texts and we were unable to see him this week. On Friday we were able to meet with Geoff although he is having a hard time medically we were able to say a few words on the atonement and how he is not alone in his pain.  After meeting with Geoff we ran into an older gentleman who had some questions regarding the relationship of the Bible and The Book of Mormon which we were able to show a few scriptures that helped to show the Importance of having both together.  Last Monday we were driving to Wagga on for our district council on tuesday and everything was going smoothly. We were about 30 minutes from the flat in Wagga, when another car flashed his lights at us. It was at about 9.00 so it was really da...
