How are you all!? I am doing great! Life is amazing here! We had a really fun week.
I have a hard time remembering things in order, so I am just going to update you on people
GF: They are as cute as can be as usual. We love being in their house. Their kids are still crazy but we have a lot of fun in sacrament meeting with all of the fun toys mom has sent me. I am pretty sure everyone in the church played with silly putty for at least a second on Sunday;). The girls started going to seminary and they love it! It is going really well. P_and E_ are so close to getting married! I am so excited to finally see those two get baptized! They are good people! E_ continues to get better. He continues to pray with his family. At first it was just alone, then it was just with his twins, then it was with his twins and his wife and then it was with his twins, his wife, and J_. We are slowly progressing and I am okay with that! He really loves his family and would do anything for them. When I asked him this week if I thought he has changed he told me that he does think he has changed, and when I asked him why he said so I could keep my family!! It was very sweet!
B__: They are doing so great!!!!! The last week was kind of a bummer because we did not even get to see them but this week was a lot better. We stopped by their house to see when we could go and C_ was outside. he came right up to us and told us to come back a little latter that day so that he could go get his wife. It was sweet because when we went back later that night, his wife was like 'ah I am so sorry I just got home and I am so tired could it be another night?'. Just as she finished explaining all that she had to do C_ came out and said 'why are you not coming in!?' I laughed and said it looks like tonight is not a good night. When his wife explained again why it was not a good night he slumped his shoulders and put this frown on his face. So we planned a family night in the house of the bishop for that Friday.
It went AWESOME! It was a bummer because the wife of the bishop and his kids could not go but we had an awesome lesson about prayer with the bishop and their Nana. It went really well! We read the story of Enos and they loved it! They made connections with their lives, and I think we finally motivated them to pray about this message.
Then to make it even better, Sunday they went to church. Then after we invited them to a fireside thing with president. President bore his testimony on how he first knew that the church is true and it was beautiful! We were all crying! The spirit was really strong and he said things that I know touched their hearts because I know them.;) It was perfect! After President went right to them to say hi. And C_ did not lose any time inviting them to their house. We are going there later tonight with president and his wife! I am happy!!!! C_ is ready to get baptized on the 13 and I don´t think M_ will take long to follow. They used to be more separate, and they fought more, but now, they are more united, and don´t fight nearly as much. It is really beautiful! I love this gospel! It is so cool because we promise things to people like a closer family and then if people really follow our counsel they see it happen and so do we! It is a blessing to be a part of it.
I__: I really love this man. We went to see him on Friday and to be perfectly honest I am absolutely amazed! He testifies with perfect confidence. He is such a good man. He continues to tell the story of when he saw his daughter. I was thinking about it that day; I looked into his sightless eyes and was amazed again because he testified of seeing her with a conviction as if he was more sure of seeing his daughter than he was sure that we were there. He knows it and testifies of it with power. My favorite part of the whole visit was when I just said "Le quierimos hermano gracias por todo!" And he did not even let me finish my phrase before he said "Oh quieria Hermanita les queiro tambien!" Then it was even more beautiful when he corrected himself and said, "No, Les amo!" It hit me. I was floored, because when he said it I felt it.. It was very full of corney, carlie over-reacting "estoy feliez!!" emotions. I got to thinking about the examples in my life that are pure love! The people who just love the people who purely give and don´t expect in return. The people who just love and do it so well that les queirro is not enough. And when they say les amo the privileged people who they love feel it and see the difference. That kind of love is the kind of love that makes us change. That is the kind of love that has saved us because that kind of love ONLY comes from our savior Jesus Christ. (moroni 7) I was really touched by him. The bad news is he is not looking like there is a lot of hope in what he has. He is very sick. We finished our visit with a goodbye that was felt like it was going to be a long time before we see him again. Keep him in your prayers. It was a bummer to see him go.
E_ She is sickly. It was a pretty big bummer to visit her this last week. She is a good person but she is really tired of all of this time in the hospital and in pain. She is so funny because she keeps telling us that she does not believe in God anymore but that she has a lot of faith. I don´t actually know what that means, but we are trying to help her. She needs extra prayers this week.
I think that is about all of the updates. We are working really hard in finding menos activos and contacting everyone and their dog! It was a week with a lot of learning too. My companion and I are both very passionate people. I can definitely say that I love her a lot, and that I am definitely learning more than I ever have before! God is good to me. He has sent us together to learn. Just so you know you guys were all right, it has been an adventure but she will be my friend forever and I will be forever grateful that God was kind enough to give me her as my companion.
This week we went up the mountains with president! It was so fun!!!!!! President and I got up the hill first and just as I was reaching the top, president looked over and yelled "Hermana Webb there is an eagle coming right at you!" I looked up and he was right there was an eagle above my head close enough to touch. He did not know I was there and thankfully he was more afraid than I was. When I got to the top we found the dead animal and just watched the Condors and Eagles circle around it. They got scared pretty fast and left once they saw that we were there but they hung around waiting. After we went up to this really beautiful lake! It was pretty far away but totally worth it! We had a lot of fun!
I think that is it! I love you all so much! God is pushing His work forward. The general authorities continue telling us that we have a lot of work to do! Members really can´t just sit back and say oh bummer that I don´t know anyone that would like to listen to this message ... God wants us to look! I am so proud of Taylor and his dinner with his friend. Keep it up! I love you all so much have a great week!
Love, Hermana Webb
