Transfer news, sad but Elder Morley is leaving and going to Columbus MS and I’m staying and getting Elder Dawson. I don’t know him, but the news shocked us real bad. We thought we were both staying but I guess things happen. I’m just nervous. It’s the transfer thing. But in other news Elder Lewis the Jamaican has been moved to AP, assistant to the President. 13 months down though!!!!!!!!!! We moved a lot of wood last night which made my legs hurt but I’m ok. That’s sad about Sadie. She fought hard but oh well that’s how life goes. I’m missing the beach but 11 more!!!!!! Here’s the week.
MONDAY- After we left the library we went and had Chinese with a member and doc. I loved it!!! We spent the rest of the night there and then we went to Docs to help her with her car.
TUESDAY- We went to the old train museum and helped Beth with moving some stuff and she wanted to talk with us and then she gave us money to go out to lunch. We went home and had comp study and then we went and helped Beth bring a big table into the depo and then we left. Her boyfriend Randy is the funniest guy. We went to an antique store and then we went to Docs and talked with her and helped her move some stuff. Then we got a call from a lady saying she needed help moving some wood tomorrow. That was it.
WEDNESDAY- Today we got up and spent from 10 to 6pm helping this lady move ALOT of wood from the side of her house to her barn. It was a lot of work physically but we eventually got the job done and then we went to Docs for dinner. We had Boston butt sloppy joes and then we went home after that. We were worn out big time.
THURSDAY- Today we got up and went to the food pantry and bagged stuff and then we went home and had lunch and then we went to see Marcus and talk with him about the temple. We went home and Elder Mason came and got our washer and dryer. Yep they came and got them. So after that we went and helped Beth with some things in the depo and then we went and had dinner and then we went to Docs and went to try to see 4 people but there was only one home, Crazy Beth. We talked with her and then we left and went home for the night.
FRIDAY- Today we went to district meeting and I gave the closing prayer and then we went to the Martins and had lunch there and then we came home and went and saw Doc for a while. We went and had dinner and then we went and tried to see some people but no luck so we went to the Harmony club the rest of the night.
SATURDAY- Today was a good day then turned into a depressing one. We went and helped the Harmony club with moving some stuff then we had lunch there. Eggs, sausage and grapes and salad. Then we left after awhile and we came home changed and went to see this referral Belinda and invite her to come to church but she couldn’t come. So we left and we went to see Doc and then we ended the night there because she needed some help as well. We got the call and it surprised us. I was mad the rest of the night. I’ve had a great time here with Elder Morley and sad to see him go. I couldn’t sleep that night.
SUNDAY- We got up and we went to church. I rode with President to go get some people and then we had church and Morley got up and bore his testimony and let everyone know the news. They were really sad to hear about it. Ya know when you serve in a branch it feels like family and it’s really hard to leave. I sat in the crowd and imagined when I leave. It’s really sad but we ended church and went home and we went to the Talbots and had lunch. The mom got up in sacrament meeting and told everyone about her boy Bruse who’s on a mission in Idaho. She says within the months that he’s been gone he changed into a man of God and I don’t even know if he’s gonna look like my son when he gets home. Lol. But it made me happy because I thought as if you were up there saying that. I start to tear up when I hear a mom tell about her boy on a mission and how much she misses him. But it’s coming sooner than some of the missionaries out here. They have to wait till 2019. Lol. Then we went and saw some people and said goodbye to people. Today was a good and sad day. I did my laundry and its 1.50 for one load at the laundry mat.
MONDAY- We got up and went to Camden for our district activity. We went fishing at a members pond and I caught a bass and then we went and saw the world’s biggest alligator caught and then we rode on a ferry and then came home. And now we are here. We are having dinner at 630 and then going to Docs and painting a room in her home.
We have the temple trip not this week but next week on Thursday. So that will be my p day. They changed it for the temple on pday for some reason.
Yeah I got over culture shock in Wetumpka. Selma has fixed it as well. Yeah it’s a small chapel here in Selma but there’s a lot of family in that building, you can feel it.
The new shoes are working out. Doc noticed my new church shoes on Sunday. She liked them.
Yes the car stays in the area.
I’m up and down with Dawson. He came out with us. He was next to me in weatherly but I don’t know that much. I heard he’s a bad driver. Lol. I rode with him to a conference before.
We will see about him. I hope people here like him. They are nervous for the next guy. I guess the people got used to Morley and they didn’t want him to leave. Lol.
Ok have fun at the beach, tell everyone I said hi! Tell everyone at the beach that I’m liking the mission and that I’ve got that hick accent going, lol. It’s changing me for the better and it’s worth it.
LOVE YOU SO MUCH MOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Elder Webb
