Talofa! April 2, 2023

Hello everyone,

Sorry for missing out on the past couple weeks.  It's really hard to find time to write although I will try to do better So far there have been so many miracles I can't even begin to count them all. but all them have been special in their own way and I will just share one with you right now. There was this crossing guard that we stopped to talk to and I don't remember her name but we talked to her for a little bit. As we were talking with her, from across the street we saw someone wave to us and she called "hello Elders!" and we responded with the hello. And as we were riding our bikes past her we decided to stop and talk to her. What we found out was that she has been divorced from her husband and when they got divorced that they kind of left the church and stopped being active. We found that before they got divorced her sons had the desire to be baptised. She called her sons and they said that they still want to learn about being baptised. Now she just needs to confirm with her ex husband whether or not that is OK for them to be baptised.  This week was really fun this Thursday because we had the opportunity to talk to the youth about what it's like to be a missionary, and talk about missionary life a little bit. we did that for about an hour. we had several groups come in and we asked if they had any questions for us and we answered any that they had for us. It was nice because it gave me a chance to relax and still teach at the same time. It seems like we ride the bikes everywhere and I'm sore from that every day. We went on exchanges a couple of weeks ago as well. I was with this elders in the Samoan speaking ward and that was really cool because I got to learn some Samoan.

Sorry if these are a bit of a drag to read. I'm still trying to get better.

I love you, 
Love, Elder Westover

Our Baptism (September 15, 2024)

Image
  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...
