This week was so wonderful! It started off absolutely wonderful
with a new investigator who is golden!! She is so cute! She was a
contact in the street from the other Hermanas. She is always really busy
but she is really open to the gospel. ____ is super cute. Whenever she likes something she says
'whatsup?' or 'incredible!' She was so excited when we gave her a book of
Mormon because she said she could feel the passion coming out of my
fingers as I passed it to her. She is right ... that book is special! There
really is something about that book! People will be so grumpy until we
pass the book to them and then they pause because they realize this is
not just any other group of preachers. She came to church too! We will see if she keeps progressing.
The rest of the week was pretty intense. ______ (our star converso
recente) has been doubting her faith like crazy. Not just the whole
Mormon thing, but all of it. She is now not even sure if God even exists. Turns
out satan is attacking all of us -- even the star ones that seemed to have
all of the faith in the world. I told _____ the same thing I told you
guys about questions. I like what mom said about how things that take away from our
testimony are only from satan. I told her that I don´t know why, but at some parts of
life, we just have to fight for our testimonies. I told her that we can
fight together. It was actually a really sweet experience, because she
looked at me and said ... "how do you even know there is life after this one?" I could answer that one!! I told her that I knew it because I have felt
my little sister. And, I can´t make up the cute personality that she has
in my head. I know what it feels like when I know that she loves me!
That is something that I could never make up. She has a great grandma
that she was really close to and who died more than a year ago. I really
hope that she will take her name to the temple because I feel like that
could be a really beautiful experience. ______ is definitely a favorite!
Her family is progressing so well and she wants to believe so bad that I
think she will be okay.
We lost __________ this week. It was a pretty big bummer! He was
progressing so well. _______ is the nephew of _____ and loved everything
we teach. He is young, but he was doing so well that we kept going back and helping
him get to church. This week when we came the mother told us that _____
cannot get baptized because he is going to get baptized in the Catholic
church. Then she told him right in front of us that she is going
to give him this precious gift called baptism and she hopes that he
never gives his mom disrespect when he is old by getting baptized in any
other church! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!! Are you kidding me!? That is so sad and also ridiculous! Thanks _____! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! I hate pride! We should get
rid of it it!!! The visit got worse when his dad told me that I only
believe because I was brain washed by my parents and I just don´t know
any better. AGAIN, GRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!! satan is so mean!!! It was a very frustrating visit!
Sunday was quite the day!! Here are all of the reasons that
we are very blessed! First of all ______ got baptized, ________ got back
from a very long work trip (like a month and a half) ... he traveled all
through the night so he could see his daughter get baptized!! We had two
new investigators in the church, and the chapel was absolutely packed!!
Those were all of the good things! It was a pretty exciting week! There were some pretty rough things too with the church people not understanding some things about the investigators and not letting some important things happen on the program. Not to mention that _______ had to be baptized three times in icy cold water and the testimony meeting after was focused on some members boyfriend ... (in the words of Sara: "Can't we please just talk about Jesus!?") I also had a pretty embarrassing moment that I have picked up a new nickname for from the Elders that I would like to lose already, but I hope the two investigators that were there will come back anyway.
So this week was quite the week! I am learning more and more every
day! This week I discovered how good at this 'game' God is again! As I got kind of grumpy about some of the problems that happened on Sunday and with our investigators, God showed me a way around it. The answer again is LOVE. When I remember how very much I love
these people or you guys, it is hard to question that you all could
possibly just be a random result. The way that _____ and her family, _____, _______, ______, _____, _____, _______, _________, and _____ have
changed and blessed my life is just too beautiful to decide is just by
chance! Our family is too perfect to not have been made by a loving, and
all knowing creator and a life dedicated to following Him. We are just too happy for any other conclusion to
be possible! God took my strength and used it to lift my weakness! That
was a cool idea! I love you all so much more and more every day! This is so worth every moment, even at the times I have to fight satan! I love you all so
much! I hope you have a great week! Thanks for your letters! I really
like them! They make me very happy!
Love,
Hermana Webb
