December 18, 2017 -- Ensley AL with Elder Bayer and Elder Standfird

Hey mom!

I was transferred to Ensley Al. Yeah I know what you think but it’s not that bad. And I’m in a trio. It’s me Elder Bayer and Elder Standfird. They’re awesome!! Elder Bayer has been out for 1 year and is from Kansas and Standfird 16 months and from Utah.  But I also just got a call from President and he’s gonna change it and put me with Elder Lewis (my Trainer from Jamaica) for a transfer and then he’s gonna go home. So I most likely will go to this area called Inverness. So I’m kinda stressed out of my mind right now.  Ensley is a car area and idk about Inverness.  I don’t know anything about skyping this time mom. I’m so stressed because idk where I’m gonna skype and I’m nervous to leave again. President just said that he wanted to know if he could put me with Elder Lewis in Inverness just until next transfer. And I’ll let you know what happens in a couple of days. And that’s all he said. Elder Lewis has to go back to Jamaica and so I guess there might have been problems with his passport. I hate going somewhere and then moving me to another place after. Ugh, it bugs me so much but oh well I guess. I know it’s with Elder Lewis but I still don’t want to leave. I sent President a message and basically told him I didn’t want to move again. But I think I’ll have to move because I don’t have a choice in this I guess. 

For the packages just send them to the mission office. Here’s the address if you don’t know what it is. Just send the address to everyone. I’ll get them sometime. 3100 Lorna Rd Ste 107  Birmingham AL 35216.  Until I find a solution to what the heck is happening you’ll just have to send them there and I will get them

I thank yall for the prayers. I need them right now. Love to hear about the stuff at home now. Here’s my week. 

MONDAY-  so we got the transfer news that night and I wasn't surprised what happened so we played ball in Camden and I sucked because I was so nervous who I was getting and where I was going and then we drove back and went to bed. 

TUESDAY- So we got up and we went to district meeting and then we shared our testimonies and then we went to Magnolia and talked and went to dirt cheap and then we came back and went to Docs and talked with her and said my goodbyes and then we went to Beths.  She cooked food and we talked and watched family feud and then we said goodbye and took a pic and then we went home for the night. I packed mainly that night. 

WEDESDAY- we got up and I got dressed and put all my stuff in the car and drove up to transfers and we got to the meeting I was called to Ensley in a trio.  So we got our stuff packed and then we went to the apartment and we went to move some stuff for a lady and then we went to a really good chicken place and then we went to the church to get a projector and then we went and had bible study at the church which we watched a movie and then we went home after that. 

THURSDAY- today we got up and we went to the mission office to get some packages and then we went to see this person Wilma and then we went to Walmart and bought some groceries and then we went home and ate some food.  We went and saw these people Megan and Megan and then we went home after that. 

FRIDAY- today we got up and we went to see this guy Curt and he has a bap date for the 23rd of this month.  We taught him about the word of wisdom. And then we went to see this person Shelly and we talked with her and then we went to Walmart and tried to contact people but nothing so we went home and played some board games. 

SATURDAY-  today we went to try and see Shelly and then we went and saw some less actives who were cool and then we went and took the bike rack off of the sisters car and then we went and had dinner and then we tried to see some other people but nothing. You have to be careful at night in Ensley. There is a lot of crime here.  It’s a lot worse than Selma.

SUNDAY- Today we went to church and I blessed the sacrament and then we went and had other classes and then we went to priesthood and then the church put on a Christmas lunch and I met a bunch of people.  Then we went home and Elder Bayer wasn’t feeling good so he took a nap and so did we and then we went out after dinner and we tried to see Shelly but she wasn’t home so we went home and played board games. 

Monday- today we helped some missionaries move and then we ate lunch and then we came here.  I’ll send you some pics. 

I thought I was staying in Selma so I got some food then forgot it. Ugh. And now I have food here and am moving again.  It’s been a long week.  

We also have a Christmas party on Thursday. We have a small tree in the apartment but that’s about it. 

After emailing we are just going back to the apartment. There’s nothing else we can do tonight. But stay in, too scary.  

Well mom we will be leaving the college soon but we have some computers at the apt complex so I’ll talk to you later if I get more details about the following days and if I’m leaving. 

Love you forever too,
Elder Webb




****Later in the evening****

Hey mom, I’m at the complex.  

I just got off the phone with President. He said he had an apartment in Inverness that he’s been paying 1000 dollars for and he wanted that to be used so he’s gonna put us there.  There is already a set of missionaries in Inverness.  He said when Elder Lewis went to the airport, he found out his passport had expired and he couldn’t go home and he was so depressed and he still kinda is so pres. didn’t want to have a lot of trios in the mish so he put Lewis there and he prayed and decided to put me there to cheer him up a bit and let him enjoy the rest of his time here. Plus President told me he trusted me to do that for him. He knew I’d accept a hard choice. So we will be together until he gets a new passport which could be 3 or 4 weeks to a transfer.  And if he gets it before the transfer ends I will be put back in Ensley but if he goes for a full transfer I could move somewhere else. So we will see but in the meantime I will be in Inverness. I leave tomorrow.

Elder Lewis was an AP and I have no idea why they don’t keep him there.  Elder Lewis apparently wanted to go somewhere else. 

Yeah I know things happen for a reason.  And yeah I guess it’s better with Lewis than someone else. 

I’ll try and hang in there.  He’s been using that all my life. (I told him Heavenly Father needs to use his big teddy bear personality right now).  

I will let you know about Monday if I find out any details.  Thanks mom!!!!!!!!! And please pray for Elder Lewis to get his passport as soon as possible!

LOVE YOU FOREVER AND EVER. CAN’T WAIT TO TALK TO YALL!
Elder Webb
