First, for the fun of the week was when Vania came with us to be a
missionary for a day! She is such a cutie. She was baptized two months
ago and already wants to be a missionary! I am so good with that! Anyway,
so she left with us and her random friend who thinks that this life is
all just a dream and we all live in hell. But it was really fun with
Vania. We walked a little bit and the poor girls were dying. But it
ended up being really great because we went and taught a really cool
Evangelico but future general authority. His name is Ignasio. He is
studying right now to be a minister in his church like his dad. It is
this family of five boys. They are all super loving and kind to us. We
actually love going there because we feel the spirit so strong. Ignasio
is funny because I gave him a Book of Mormon and promised him he would
find power if he read it. He is not looking for power... he is looking
for errors. Ha ha, good luck my friend!! I have studied that book inside
and out and so have a lot of other people who are a lot smarter than me
and you are not going to find anything!! He read from Alma one to Alma 31
until he read what he thought was an error. The Zoramite prayer! If
you read that chapter it is easy to tell that Alma was not a fan of
their prayers but he did not catch that. He read the prayer with us and
said that 'really caught my attention - I did not think you guys believed
this stuff.' My comp and I were like.... "WE DON'T!! Read the chapter!" In
the end the conversation was beautiful. We answered some of his
questions and Vania bore a really sweet testimony. I love her so much!
Also on Saturday we ate lunch with Margarita Calderon. I love her! I
just hurt for her! We taught her a lesson on Thursday and ate lunch
with her on Saturday. She is such a sweetheart! She is the one who has
the son who was killed. Super fome! She told us that it
is just too late and she is just too scared. I just wanted to wrap her in
my arms and testify of the Atonement over and over! I obviously have no
idea how she feels. But I remember the feeling after Lauren died. I
remember thinking.... 'wow then, who the heck is God then?!' It hurts to
wonder and doubt! I hyperventilate sometimes. I wrote in my journal that
I really actually love this process: having experiences, tripping... a
lot!, hyperventilating, persevering, watching my faith grow, crying,
watching other people´s faith grow, laughing, enjoying, learning changing,
and worshiping! This process is beautiful but I hate the hyperventilating part! I feel like that is where sweet Margarita is
stuck. She wants to believe but she does not know how to again. We had
this beautiful conversation after lunch with her and her daughter (also
very menos activo) about angels and how we can feel them around us. We
especially talked about when people are close to dying. I was feeling
pretty tender after those conversations and was crying pretty hard as we
left. I looked up and realized that my comp was crying too! I love her!
We just stopped in the middle of the street and cried and hugged
each other! Yup! I am corny!
Ha ha no, but it was really sweet! My companion is a sweetheart! She is
really good to me! I hope some day we will help Margarita understand
that the Atonement reaches her too! I am so grateful that the Atonement
reaches everyone! It does not matter your beliefs, your mistakes or how
scared you are! His grace is sufficient! I love that!
Well I love you all! This week has to be short because I don't have enough time! I know this gospel is true! It requires faith! It
is not easy but it is so worth it! satan wants to tear apart families
and he uses so many good and terrible things to do it! I am so grateful
to be one that fights against it! I love my Savior. His atonement and his plan work! I
love being in the middle of it! I love watching those I love in the
middle of it! Thank you for the love and prayers they make me very
happy!!
Love Hermana Webb
