March 12, 2018 -- New Companion, Elder Braithwaite

Hey mom!

My Comp is awesome, his name is Elder Braithwaite. He’s from Ephraim Utah. He was my district leader in Selma. I’ll show you a picture of the district down there. He’s been out for 19 months. He came out 1 transfer after me. Sister Gilbert goes home this transfer. You know her aunt. My stomach pain is fully gone, idk what it was but it’s gone now.

Wow Ash is working at Zupas huh. I’ll have to go there when I get home cause I bet I’ll get a discount. Lol.  Oh very cool about your bday. I sent you and dad both cards. Dads is pretty funny and yours I made special. Warning you might cry. I was feeling the spirit when I wrote the card so good luck.

Here’s the week. I have no pictures this week.

TUESDAY-  Elder Cluff packed most of the day.  He was really sad about leaving Jasper but we had a great last day together.

WEDNESDAY- So we got up this morning and elder Cluff packed the rest of his stuff up and then we went to transfers. I saw a lot of missionaries that I knew there and a lot of them were talking about Docs baptism. She’s getting baptized on March 17th and so then we had the meeting and that’s when I got put with this guy Elder Braithwaite who’s from Ephraim UT.  We’ve served around each other a lot and he knows some of my friends from Nephi. So then we waited for president to interview Elder Braithwaite for some reason then he interviewed me.   Apparently there someone told president that me and elder cluff were watching movies. And I talked to him about that and told him we weren’t and then he talked about my last 4 months of how he wants me to be the best I can be. That is what I am focusing on.  Then we went back to jasper. Our first stop was at a member’s house and then we went to a dinner appointment. Elder Braithwaite found a piece of hair in the chili and so he was a little terrified about the food. Then we left and we went to our house and dropped off his stuff then we had our book of Mormon class and then we went home for the night.

THURSDAY- Today we went to Walmart to shop for elder Braithwaite and there was a lot of old people there. It was probably the first time I’d ever seen that much old people in Jasper. Then after 2 hours of shopping we went home and had lunch and then we did comp study and got to know each other then we went to try and see this referral.  We found the address but the person wasn’t home so we called him and he told us try another day. Then we went and tracted a place and we handed a book of Mormon to this lady and she lived in Birmingham so then we went to the church and tried to find some places to do some service at and as well get some referrals and then we went to this Guy Evans and we took his water heater out of his house and then we went to our dinner appointment at the Cranors and they fed us pizza.  He told us his story about his first prayer. Then he said this "if there’s anybody who complains about giving a prayer, get over it!” Then we went home for the night. He showed us a lot of pictures and he wanted help with his computer.

FRIDAY- Today was a good day.  So in the morning we went to bham for Elder Braithwaites doctor’s appointment and it took about an hour so then we went home and we both felt like crap so we took a power nap and then we went and tried to sees some less actives but most of them weren't home so we tracted a bit and we only handed out a book of Mormon. Then we decided to go to Walmart so Elder Braithwaite could get some cleaning supplies and I got my mom a birthday card which will probably make her cry (for good). Then we went home and we had dinner and then we went to see these investigators William and Brittney but Brittney and Williams’s dad were the only ones home so we talked with them and then we said a prayer and then we left and then went home for the night.

SATURDAY- Today was a good day.  We went to the church and did some family history.  I found out that some of my ancestors on my dad’s side served missions in the Southern states as well as California and then we left and went home for lunch and then we did comp study and then we did weekly planning. Turns out that we know a lot of people that we are friends with back home. Crazy, then we tried to see some less actives in a place called Oakman and it was raining the whole day. We found this one guy who had no teeth and so we talked and then we were leaving and he looked at me and said do you play Football sir? and so we laughed and then we tried to see some other people and they weren’t home so then we drove out to a members named Cory for dinner.  He fed us Turkey Burgers and some potatoes and then he showed us some ghost pictures from the haunted old Cahaba and then we went to see William later that night and shared a scripture with him and then we came home.

SUNDAY- today was a great day.  So we had PEC in the morning and then we had church and there was a returned missionary from the Ensley branch that served in my home ward a year ago. He served in Draper, South Jordan, West Jordan. So that was really cool and then I met another person who is great friends with my Uncle Cory. Her name is Marina and she worked at the same high school that I went to.  She recognized me. We also taught gospel doctrine and we talked about faith and ether chapter 12 and then we went home and had lunch. We both had bad headaches so we took a long nap and then we had dinner and then we went and saw these less actives the Hutchingsons and we talked with them and we shared a message with them and then we tried to store contact for the rest of the night but nobody was interested. So then we went home.

MONDAY- Today we got up and Elder Braithwaite had a fever for some reason and so he slept and I read my scriptures and watched 17 miracles and then he felt better by lunch and then we came to the church to email and here we are now.

That’s my week and we’re trying our best to tract and find people. This next week we are going to Selma on Saturday to attend a baptism that me and Elder Braithwaite were invited too.

Tonight we are probably seeing some less actives.  We haven’t planned yet since he was sick in the morning.

We will get our phones on the 21st.

Alright have a great week mom!!!!!!
Love Elder Webb
