No we didn’t make it through the tornado and died and I'm talking to you as a spirit. Lol! No we survived and it wasn't too bad, it just rained a lot. Lol.
They pushed Gavins Baptism to next Saturday at 3. We were actually in lockdown for a while with a tornado watch. We tell people here we want to see one up close but not be in its path and people here say NO YOU DON'T. Lol. But Gavins still doing well. I'll send you a pic of us standing next to him. And we also got transfer news. In case you didn't know we are both staying in Jasper. Probably the best news I could get on my mission so far. Lol.
TUESDAY- Today was a busy day. So we got up a little early and went to Birmingham for Elder Braithwaite to go to the doctor. They increased his meds. Which the meds were the ones making him sick. So now they increased it. Lol. So he's still sick a lot. Then we went to taco bell with the Ensley Elders and then we went to district meeting and we got there a little early so we threw the football around and everyone was sayin that for a big guy I had some nice catches. Lol. Then we had the meeting and then we went back to Jasper with our district leader and he interviewed our investigator Gavin and he passed! So he's set for his baptism this Saturday. Then we went home changed and we went and did some yard work at the Eppersons and then they fed us and then we went home for the night.
WEDNESDAY- Today was a fun day. So we went to Cullman Alabama and did service with the sisters there. We were doing service on a farm and me and Elder Braithwaite were digging holes to put fence posts in (I've never put a fence in so I was nervous.) Also the guy we were doing it for looked at me and said you look pretty responsible. That added to the nerves. The others were doing stuff around the farm. So we finally put in the fence and then we learned the guy had a call for his cows to get them to come. So we thought that was pretty funny. Then the guy (Matt) asked us if we could come back so we said we'll see. Then we went to the church for Coordination and then our Branch mission leader took us out to eat then we went home after that.
THURSDAY- So today was a slow day. So today Elder Braithwaite got up feeling sick so he took it easy and I did other stuff. And at about 3 he started feeling better so we went to the post office so he could send some stuff off and then we went to see a referral Lea and she was pretty interested. She looked at the Book of Mormon and was like 'this is so much easier to read than my bible. Lol. So then we said a prayer with her then we went home and changed and we went to basketball and we taught Gavin about the Laws and Ordinaces of the Gospel. Then we shot some hoop with him and let's just say I dominated. Lol. Then he had to leave and nobody else was here so we just did some family history. I'm getting pretty good at it.
FRIDAY- So today we mainly were at the church the whole day. We cleaned the font and filled it up and we set up chairs and did the Baptism program and Gavin came with his Grandpa and we practiced with him and then he wanted to shoot some hoop and so we did that for a bit then he had to go so then we went home for the night.
SATURDAY- So today we got up early and we went to Cullman to finish up the farm service and so we got there and he told us what we were gonna do. So guess what, we got to herd the cows into a stall and it’s a lot easier said than done. Lol. So then we got them in and then they all had to go in 1 by 1 to get tagged and get this stuff put on their backs. I was in charge of putting them in the stall and I'm not kidding at one point I was kicked by a baby calf. Lol. I was trying to get him in there by yelling and I pissed it off. Lol. It didn't hurt though. And then we finished and then we put them back out in the pasture and then we went home for our baptism. It rained on us to it was pretty muddy and cow crap was everywhere. Lol. So we got home and showered and Gavin’s dad called and wanted to reschedule the Baptism due to bad weather. So we are having it next Saturday and we get transfer calls tomorrow so I hope we stay! Then we stayed in for a bit so we could get cleaned up and then we went to the church and cleaned up some stuff and then we went and got dinner and tried to find some people but all it just turned into us teaching slammed doors. Lol.
SUNDAY- Today was a great day. We went to church and had a branch council and there's a guy there that always likes to talk about Lacrosse and so he always jokes and tells me "here's a great offensive lineman who wasted his talent by playing lacrosse" haha. Then elder Braithwaite gave a talk and then I said the closing prayer. But I didn't know there was an intermediate hymn. So I went up early. Lol. Members were texting me stuff like “too early slick" haha I laughed. And they laughed. Then we taught primary about the restoration. And then we went home after that. And elder Braithwaite was pretty tired so we took a "power" nap and then we went and saw some less active and then we went to a members and had dinner there and then we got our transfer news were both staying. Best news I could get. Lol. Then we came home for the night.
MONDAY-Today were gonna go do laundry and email and then we will find out what were gonna do. But were planning on seeing some referrals tonight. We’re going to Alice’s later if she texts us back. She hasn’t yet.
That's my week mom. I'm fine, I'm not hurt but I can say I got kicked by a calf. Lol. Don't worry.
I was thinking about grandpa on his birthday. He makes me laugh and I think my personality is like his a bit, just more mormon. Lol!
How’s dads leg? Is the fluid gone?
Now working for Riverton City in the parks and recreation would be a good job. I’d like that. I'm just stressing about what I’m going to do when I get home. Cause what I'm hearing out here is that I’m gonna need money if I want to date. Lol. JK but that's what I've been thinking about. The thought of coming home excites me but mostly scares me. Also I need to figure out how I’m gonna get my bike home. Lol.
Lol!! Why are you making fun of my plaid shirt and shorts? I like that shirt, it's a good one to do work with. I got it from Elder Morley. Green Lumberjack shirt, lol. Keeps me from getting sun burned too. Yeah but I don't wanna get pants till I get home. Plus it feels good, not too hot and not too cold.
LOVE YOU FOREVER!
Elder Webb
