Hey yall!

This week has been ABSOLUTLY one of the best weeks of my mission. We had an exchange, had interviews with President, Skyped home and were getting a lot of referrals! So anyways without further ado here's my week.

TUESDAY- So today we had our exchange with Ensley and I went with this guy Elder Ramsey. We had district meeting first and that was good really spiritual role plays and we all had a good laugh as well. Then we went to Wendy's and had lunch and talked and then we dropped the Bessemer Elders off and then we went back to the apartment and did comp study, and then all 4 of us went to do service for this guy and we moved logs and set some stuff on fire! Man I love the South! Lol. Then they had a German Shepard and she was the nicest dog I'd met. They when we were about to leave the guy looks at me and says l "how long do you have left on your mission?" I told him 2 months. He's says here take the dog. Lol she loves you more than me. Lol. He's joking. So then we left and went home and me and Elder Ramsey tried seeing a couple referrals before we had to go in. In Ensley it's so dangerous you be got to be in by about 7 or 730. So we went to the game room and played pool. I didn't do too hot. Lol. That was the day.

WEDNESDAY- today we got up and one of the guys had a headache so we didn't leave until about 11. But when he was ready we did our comp exchange review. Then we went back to Jasper and we did comp study and unpacked and then we went and tried to see a Referral but sadly they didn't answer. So we went to Book of Mormon Class and nobody showed up so we had our Branch mission leader come and we had our coordination with him as we talked for a LONG time about different subjects. We learned that at one point he was the Branch President awhile back which was really cool. Then we went home and that was the day.

THURSDAY- today was a great day, we went up to Inverness and had interviews with President Sainsbury and let me tell ya it was the best interview I have ever had on my mission. He told me how much he appreciates my kindness to the missionaries and for being a great example to them. He told me he wants every missionary to become like me, Simone they can always get along with, always laugh with, and always learn from. And I got to admit I got teary eyed at that point. So then after interviews we went and dropped off the Bessemer Elders and then we went home and did comp study and then we went to the Church and did some family history. Then we went home and that was the day mainly. We tried seeing some people but they weren't home. Tried tracting and nothing came from it.

FRIDAY- Today Elder Braithwaite walks up sick so we mainly stayed in until he got feeling better and so while he was sleeping I did some journaling and did some area book stuff and I took a nap as well, then Elder Braithwaite felt a lot better so we went to a dinner appointment with this guy Cory and he fed us chicken and garlic rice. Then we read Moroni 7 with him and then we left and we went to see Gavin but he wasn't home. Gavin is in a rough patch right now. Satan is really toying with him and so were trying to see him now. So after that we went to the Church and did family history and then we went to try and see a less active and then we came home.

SATURDAY- Today was a good day, we went and tried to see a person named Lea but she wasn't home. Ugh. So then we went to the Church and did some family history and then we had a dinner appointment that night with the winns. We had burgers and fries and potato salad and had a great time and then we helped her clean then we went home for the night.

SUNDAY- So today we got up and we went to church and Elder Braithwaite Blessed and I passed the sacrament and then we went on with church and in 3rd our there was an argument about the lesson in 2 weeks. I was pissed because they were acting like children. So then church ended and we went with a member to drop off tithing slips and then we came back to the Church and we did family history. I talked to my grandparents and my Family. It was an awesome experience. I loved every minute of it. So we talked with our family's then we went home dropped off some stuff the we went to the bakers for the night and we played aggravation then we came home.

MONDAY- today were gonna go bowling and email and probably go visit some people.

I'm really happy right now since I'm coming down to the end of my mission and I’m just going out with the best attitude. I've been really blessed.

I felt great after our skype.  Y'all looked safe and laughed which let me know y'all are doing good. And that makes me happy. Dinner with the Bakers last night was good, we had some cocktail wieners.

Well that's about it. I hope y'all had a great week and I hope this week will be a great week for yall! Stay awesome!

LOVE YOU FOREVER!
Elder Webb
