Angela McCleery Miller He is doing great here & he & Elder V seem to be getting along alright. I was wondering how the new dynamics with Elder V would play out when Elder Proffit was transferred. But, they spent a couple hours here the other night & they seem to be doing well. We did encourage Elder Weber to think about helping Elder V with his English studies - as Elder V is not a native English speaker. (since normally companions spend language study time together...) And, that would give him a little extra time to bond with & serve his companion - plus, remind him that he is not a native speaker. They are pretty funny together! Elder Weber is awesome & has come a LONG way & is very comfortable in what he is doing these days. You can feel it. He is a great missionary!!! And, we love his stories about his family - he LOVES all of you (even his sisters! :)) very, very much!
Nikki Sansevero Weber I love hearing this. I knew once he got out he would be a great missionary. He has a very strong testimony of the Savior and has always wanted to be spread the gospel to others.
Elder Weber told us that on Christmas Eve he and Elder V spent the day at the ward mission leaders home and they were each given a small Christmas tree and some gifts that had been given by members of the ward. My family and I are so grateful that all of you in the Fossil Creek Ward have been so kind and loving to our son. In his Skype, after he told us the story about the gifts, he said I FEEL LOVED. That made me sleep better that night. Thanks to all of you

Angela McCleery Miller It was the work of many getting the gifts together. They are loved, for sure! I cried when I told him goodbye tonight & I told him, "You need to know that I saw a picture of your gorgeous family. Your dad was holding up the computer with your face on the screen Skyping - he just beamed with how proud he is of you. And, your mother has the same picture - they are ALL so proud of you! And then... your three beautiful, younger sisters! You have NO idea the blessings you are bringing to your family by choosing to serve & fulfill an honorable mission, Elder Weber!" He got misty eyed on me - which made me really choke up - & said, "All I ever wanted to do was make my mom proud. I never knew if I would be able to do that... my sisters really are beautiful, aren't they?" I assured him that he most definitely has made BOTH of his parents beamingly proud (is that even a word? Elder Weber didn't call me on it, so I must be okay! ) & you could see it in each of your glowing faces! He left walking on air. I didn't know if I could show him FB or not - I didn't.... but, was dying to!
Nikki Sansevero Weber Angela McCleery Miller, I know it's time for him to move on, but my heart is kind of sad. I feel so blessed that his first area was filled with so many loving people. He grew a lot during these last few months in the Fossil Creek Ward. Thank you for loving my son and please let the other members of you ward and area know how much I appreciate them supporting the missionaries the way you all have. I know Elder Weber can be "qwerky" but he has a great love for the gospel, his Savior and his fellow brothers and sisters. Once people see that I think you can't help but love the kid. We have always been proud of that incredible boy. I'm sorry he never felt that sooner, but thank you for sharing his comments with me.
