I'm doing great out here! We did have another Tornado and don't freak out, But it was right down the street from us at 2am. We were asleep. Alice texted us to make sure we were ok. But yeah. Not really much damage but a papa John's sign blew away but that was about it.
Yes the 12 year old is still on Baptism date for this Saturday at 3. He's doing very well and we taught him the Restoration, plan of salvation, Gospel of Jesus Christ, the law of the fast and tithing, and the law of chastity. We are going over at 630 tonight to teach him some laws and ordinances. We're really excited. His grandpa Bro Fernandez is going to baptize him. Gavins dad is less active and so he can’t do that for him. I’m giving a talk on the Holy Ghost. He is the kid who is as tall as me and wears size shoe 16. I wear 13. I’m average compared to him. Lol. I'll make sure and get pictures.
Haha yeah it sounds like there's nothing going on back home. But a lot has been happening here. Here's the week.
TUESDAY- So today we got up and we went with Alice Manning to Margins to get some plants and pine straw and then we went to Arbys and got some lunch and then we went to Alice's and put pine straw down and we put plants in. We took rocks out and we did that for a couple of hours. Then we came back home and showered and then we went to teach our investigator Gavin about the plan of salvation then we went to the bakers for the rest of the night.
WEDNESDAY- so today my comp was feeling really sick so we mainly stayed in for most of the day. Then when he was feeling better we went and taught Gavin the Word of Wisdom. Then we went to the Church for Book of Mormon class and then after we locked up the Church and came home.
THURSDAY- Today was like yesterday, Elder Braithwaite was sick again. And this was basically the whole day. I felt bad for him. I did everything I could to help him feel better. But he just had a massive migraine. It gets kinda boring for me but I just look at my pictures on Facebook and read scriptures. So then at night we decided to go to basketball and Gavin was there along with Phil and Bro Fernandez. Phil is a member here. The members here like us to call them by their first names. (They call me Kaden sometimes.) So we played on the line, around the world and 21. I won the last 2(around the world and 21). Then Phil got us pizza and then we locked up the Church and we went home.
FRIDAY- Alright 3 months left! My mom can't wait. Haha. So today we went up to Gardendale for a zone Conference and there was a seventy Elder Klibengot who came to the mission. So the day before he had a zone Conference with the other half of the mission and so in this one he started off asking what other missionaries said about him. And one raises his hand and says THEY TOLD ME YOU WERE A COMPLETE SAVAGE! Haha. He's like really well that's a first. That's going in my journal. Lol. He was really straight forward. At the beginning he said if you get offended at me, that’s your problem. Like when he was taking any questions, one missionary asked about Moses and his translation. And he responded saying "Oh that's cute but I don't think that's gonna help with missionary work". So then that went on till 5 and then he had to go then we went home and had dinner and then we went to the Church to do some family history.
SATURDAY- Today we spent the whole day over at Phil and Brookes helping them clean for their daughter’s birthday party. So we cleaned under the couches, we mopped, swept and I cooked burgers and chicken with Phil. Then the party came and then before we left Phil wanted to play aggravation (board game) so we played that then we left and went home for the night.
SUNDAY- Today we went to church and I passed the sacrament with some young men and then we had the rest of church. Then we went to teach Gavin the law of the tithe and the fast and the law of Chastity. We are having our district leader come on Tuesday to interview him. And then they fed us some lunch and then we talked with his grandparents about his baptism and then we went to the house and I took a nap. I had a headache then my comp woke me up and we went to Phil and Brookes for dinner and then we came home.
MONDAY- This morning were going to go help some people move a bed and then we're gonna email and get stuff from the store, do laundry and we are teaching Gavin tonight at 630.
We just helped move a bed then we had to do laundry. Wednesday were probably going to go help the Cullman sisters (Gilbert) with a less active guy who needs help with his farm on Wednesday. We are also going to have our district leader come and interview Gavin tomorrow.
I've had some requests to bear my testimony as well so here y'all go.
This is what I got out of my notes this past Conference. Man you are complaining about sweat? I guess it’s not as bad as when I sweat my blood for you. Your Feet hurt from walking? I guess its not as bad as when I had Nails driven through mine. Your Hands blistered from today? I bet that hurt, but I think nails driven through your hands wouldn't be as bad. My advice is don't complain. The Savior had it The worst out of anyone.
I have a testimony that the Savior lives and loves each and every one of you. He knows YOU and he's the only one who knows what you go through, he's been in your shoes. I know that Joseph Smith is a Prophet of God. He restored the TRUE church back to the Earth. I know the Book of Mormon is true. I've tested it and I KNOW FOR A FACT that it's true. I bear my witness with you in the Sacred name of our Savior Jesus Christ Amen.
THANKS MOM!!!!! LOVE YOU.
LOVE YOU FOREVER!!!!!!
Elder Webb
