Hi Mom!!!!!
My week has been alot better than
the last. We have so many new
investigators and we are getting along so well. We have zone conference this
week and yes I’ve been feeling better. Here’s the week. Did you and dad ever
get the birthday cards that I sent on Wednesday last week?
MONDAY- So after we got done
emailing we went to Wendys and had lunch there with the zls and then we went
and played pool at that apartment complex and then we were planning on going
over to the Foils home (family of 10) but they cancelled so we went store
contacting and I got some stuff there and then we came home because I had a
headache again.
TUESDAY- Today started off rough because
we were both sick and we woke up a little late, but that morning we had
district meeting. It was fun. We had
some great training's and some great icebreakers (activity's) and we had some
great brownies lol. After district meeting the zls had to go so we went to
lunch with our district leader and his comp. We went to this place called Wings
and let me just tell you those were the best wings I’ve had yet. Then as soon
as we were leaving, it started raining so hard so we ran out to the car and
started driving back to Weatherly. It rained the whole 20 min and we were
dropped off at Breannas house so we could talk with her. We talked with her
about the temple and stuff like that. After an hour and a half we went home and
biked to our dinner appointment and it was so fancy, like wow. Everything
looked so nice and I was gonna take some pics but I only got a pic of a cake we
had. Sorry. Then after we left we went back to the apartments and we went on
splits and I went with Brother Hearne. Out
of all the people we went and tried to see we only saw one less active. Then we
came home and ended the night with some area book work. It’s the work and
progress of the investigators of that area. Past investigators and present
investigators.
WEDNESDAY- this morning was the same
as usual, we were both sick and so since we were sick we did some area book work
and then we went out at 2. It was a rough morning and then we tried to see some
people out of the area book but we never found one so we went to our dinner
appointment and they took us over to this place called Lawlers. It’s a BBQ
place and I got some BBQ nachos and boy oh boy were they good. Elder Ratigan
didn't think so but I did. Lol. Then they shared some mission experiences and
then we left. We were dropped off and we went and tried to see one more area
book person and they weren’t home so we went and knocked on another door and
with that knock we taught the restoration to this guy named Kerry. He’s been
searching for truth for a long time so we shared with him what we have and then
committed him to read the Book of Mormon and he said "I will pray about Joseph
Smith and the book". Then after that we went home. We thought that was a great experience. The spirit was present there. It was awesome!
The problem is that his girlfriend is a Baptist and she’s trying to convert
him. Lol.
THURSDAY- Today we felt better in
the morning and so we went and played basketball with an investigator named
Chris. He’s been taught for a long time
by past missionaries and he will be baptized in June (some complications with
parole). So after we played with him, we got some chairs and we were gonna
teach him but he said he had to go to work so he left and we had lunch. Then we
did weekly planning and then after we did that we went and helped a less active
move some equipment around the house and then we taught her about the
scriptures and that went well. We left
there and tried to go see this guy Danny but he wasn't home so we went home. While we were waiting for Bro Hearne to pick
us up for dinner I decided that for every dinner appointment I’m gonna get a picture
with the members there. So we went to the Hearnes and we had taco salad and
then had a lesson and then I got a pic with them and then we left and then we
went and tried to see this area book person but they weren't home so we started
talking with this one person and he wasn't interested and they said that there
is someone moving in right now. As soon
as he said that, a U-Haul come around the corner. So we went and asked if he
needed help (I didn't know him at first) and he looked at me and was like HEY
WHATS UP WEBB! I was like who are you and he’s like I’m Eric remember? He was an
investigator in Weatherly I met on my first day and me and elder Matthews
taught him the restoration and we kept going by but he wasn’t there. It’s been
almost 2 months since we saw him and so I talked with him and he’s like yall
can come in and so we helped him move some stuff in and then I asked him if he
still has his Book of Mormon we left him and he did! So we had a short lesson
and then we left and went home for the night. Crazy how things happen.
FRIDAY- today was great we had 2
solid lessons with these two people named Aubrey and Vicki. Then we had a
dinner appointment with the Bishops parent and we had pork and rolls and stuff
like that. Then we had a short lesson and then we took a pic and then we went
and tried to see the Foils family but they weren't home. We were walking back to Walmart and this guy
stops us and tells us he’s homeless and that he’s from Tennessee and so we
talked with him and said a prayer with him and then he was like I was in Walmart
and everyone in there is so hateful and he points at me and says I saw you in
there about 3 weeks ago and you just looked like you were someone that didn’t
look hateful and looked happy and you had this glow to you. And so we talked
with him for a bit then we left. When we went home I was like wow, someone
noticed that. THAT’S AWESOME!! I don’t think I’m that great but apparently to
him I was lol!
SATURDAY- first of all HAPPY
BIRTHDAY MOM!!!! Today was a great day we went out this morning and we were
going to follow up with some people but that changed when we saw a U-Haul. So
we went and asked if they needed any help and they didn’t so I decided to ask
the next door neighbor. He was building
a greenhouse and so he said yeah if yall could so we helped him for about an
hour and then we had to get home so he’s like yall need a ride you can put your
bikes in the back and so he took us to Walmart and got his number and he said
we could come back. Service softens stony souls. His name was Don and then we
went home for lunch. And then we did comp study and after that we met with this
guy Cameron and he’s interested so we taught him about the restoration and then
we left and we went home to decide what we were gonna teach our dinner
appointment. Then we went to the bishop’s home.
On the way Elder Ratigan took the wrong route and it was windy so he didn’t
hear me whistle or stuff like that so we met up at a members home and funny
thing is that the members dad was from Wetumpka and he was there!!!! He
recognized me and I was so excited to see him then we left and went to bishops.
We had ravioli and then we took a pic and then we left and we went to Walmart
and found 2 people and 2 members there and then we left and went home to do
area book work.
SUNDAY- today was a long day we got
up late because of daylight savings. We went to coordination and then we had
ward council and that went well when we were talking about our investigators. Then we had the best lesson about our
Heavenly family in Gospel essentials. Then we had a great lesson in priesthood
about how the daughters of god are so important to the plan of salvation. It
was awesome and it gave me some tips lol. Then after church we went and
followed up with people making sure they had their calendar’s set. And then we
went and helped this member move some stuff off of the U-Haul and then we went
home and that was the day.
MONDAY- we are emailing and
basically staying at the church because the zls car is in the shop because
their key slot has been funky and then gonna play basketball and tennis and bad
mitten. We are going to dinner tonight at this place called the Boot with a
member. We are going to see the Foils at 6 before then. We are going on
exchanges on Friday also.
Yes send me Jason and Candice’s address and I will send a
letter. That’s awesome that their little
girls pray for me every night. Lol, I feel loved. Tell Jason and Candice
thanks!
Tell dad Happy Birthday!!! I LOVE
HIM SO MUCH. HES A HUGE INSPIRATION!!!! Love him forever!
This month was a bad month for
money. Good thing is that the members are feeding us. Yes I still use my
gps every day. I like the weather now because it’s not too cold or too
hot. Dang, warmer weather up there than here? It says its 45 today but
feels like 30.
I KNOW RIGHT! I WAS JUST THINKING OF
HOW IT WAS A YEAR AGO I GOT MY CALL LIKE 2 DAYS AGO!
LOVE YOU THE MOST AND ENJOY THE
BIRTHDAY CARDS!
Elder Webb
