We love, (love, love) this beauty in our lives! (And, her darling companion.)
Richard and Juan Pablo. I love them, I love them, I love them!!
(More "I love them, I love them, I love them!")
Family!
Have I told you all lately that I love you!? I hope you feel it
because basically I talk about you guys almost as much as I talk about Jesus.
Don´t laugh ... it is okay because you guys are a big part of His plan!
My life is so good! I love being a missionary! This stuff is so
fun! So basically this week was a lot like the other weeks .... full of ups
and downs.
First for the family of Paola! I love them I love them I love
them!!! They are doing so well. Edgardo went to Priesthood and both
sessions of conference on Sunday in Sunday dress!!!! Paola could only
make it to one but she was wearing a dress too!! I wish I could explain
them to you! Edgardo is really quiet so it is really easy to misunderstand him. I was so worried about his progression because he is so
quiet. But he is doing so well! He listens and he is progressing with his Perfect Teacher! I love that God is not just a perfect teacher for me!
It makes my job so much easier! Paola announced also on Saturday that
they are going to get married!!!!!!!!! Edgardo did not say a word he
just kept his arm tight around his sweet wife and played with the zipper
of her bag with a big fat smile on his face! So the wait for the nine
months continues. But now they have made the decision! I am so happy!
Also General Conference was amazing!!!! I love them I love them I
love them! I realized what a job these people have to talk in
conference. They have to talk to members for years, recent converts,
manos activos, and investigators. They have missionaries, old people,
young people, children. People from all over the world in a million
different languages! How do they do that? But they do such a beautiful
job! I loved every minute! I am going to print off President Uchtdorf´s
talk and give it to every manos activo that I know (which is a lot).
After conference my companion literally had to calm me down. You know
the story of Hyrum when he was told that the saints needed to build a
temple and as soon as he heard, he took of running for his shovel? I
always loved that story and for the first time I think I felt
what he was feeling. I was ready to run! I wanted to tell everyone that
the Prophet of God talked to us! And, that we have his love prayers and
counsel! I was a little too over- excited and might have scared away an
investigator. My companion was laughing super hard because I basically
yelled in his face ¨the prophet of God is going to speak to us
tomorrow¨ (this was Saturday night) but it is fine ... I will figure out
some way to be a normal missionary. Hopefully when we go to his house
this Friday, they will let us in. :)
Other than that life is still great! We are working hard! Dad was
right about his email when he wrote about all of the ups and downs.
People seem so convinced but then they don´t do anything about it!! It
gets really frustrating. The longer I am here the more I see how much
these people need this stuff. It is just obvious to me but then I
realize that I have a lot of experience! Erika is the one that is still
progressing. She has a baptism date but I am not sure if she will
actually make it. She is so great but she does not want to go to church!
People don´t like leaving their houses here ... and it is frustrating!
I made a cool discovery that I wanted to tell y'all about. I was
thinking about the two deaths that Christ can save us from, physical and
spiritual. This is an excerpt from my journal:
So, at the end of our lives when we stand at the judgement bar of
God, Christ will save us spiritually by forgiving us of our sins and
satisfying the demands of justice, just as He will save us from physical
death by reuniting our body and spirit perfectly forever! That final act
of love, mercy and power, I am sure will be a beautiful moment. However
also just as He lends us our very breath in every moment of our
lives, (Mosiah 4) Christ lends us spiritual breath by slowly changing our
very nature so our confidence can wax strong in His presence, and we
can enter into His kingdom with a new heart; His heart. Then, his
forgiveness of our sins will not just be beautiful but it will be
eternal because we will have been changed! We can no better change our
very nature than we can raise ourselves from the dead. We need Him!
I love you all! I love you all! I love you all! I love to hear all about what you are all learning
and doing with your lives! Thank you for the letters .... they make me so
happy!
Love Hermana Webb
