6/15/2015 Kansas Skies

Dear Family,

     Here's a picture just right before a Kansan Storm. We got to drive by this lightning storm as we drove in the night picking up some sisters in Guymon, Oklahoma for a zone conference the next day. The storm was so beautiful; I've never seen anything like it. Don't worry we were aware of our surroundings and we wouldn't of driven if it was too dangerous. :) It was so incredible because we didn't hear any sound, we just saw light flashing for a couple of hours as we drove. It was better than watching fireworks because I think our Heavenly Father can create more beauty than we ever can imagine.

    There's so much to say about this week, but yet I don't have the words to say everything. I know this week is such a big week everyone in the family. My big brother is finally getting married! It's a miracle that I got to know his bride to be before I left on a mission and that we're good friends. I know I get to miss my niece being born. I'm excited to find out her name this week and see if she looks more like her mom or her dad. I'm excited to find out when her first climb will be, because I know Casey and Sheralee will teach her to climb before she can walk or even crawl!

     It's going well here in Liberal. I'm learning so much every day, I wish I could remember everything I'm learning and apply it all. I'm learning what the definition of "fun" really is. A lot of people are confused at what we do and we spend all day doing it. They ask us if we ever get time off or get to sleep in. And of course no we don't. But that's okay because the most fun you can have is saving a human soul. We work as hard as we can to find those people who are ready for baptism and teach those who are progressing towards baptism. Baptism is so important because that's the gate towards eternal life. This week we realized we were spending too much time with people who don't want to be baptized or can't be baptized. It's hard to just drop them because I know at one point in their life they did choose Christ before they came here. Some brilliant sister missionary said something at zone conference that caught my attention. She said that she doesn't want to go to the spirit world and run into someone who asks her why she never told her about God's plan or even let her shut the door. I don't want that to happen. That would be a pretty bad regret.

      This is my first transfer out of training... So I've got my training wheels off and I feel like I'm falling off my bike a lot or getting off my bike when it comes to those uphills. But I'm slowing learning to just trust myself and God. I'm slowing learning from setbacks. I thought missionary work was pretty easy at first. Third week into the first transfer Sister Adams and I brought someone into the waters of baptism. I thought, "Wow missionary work is so easy!" I was so pumped. Then for two months we haven't had any baptisms. Nope missionary work is not so easy. I know it's only 2 months and in God's time that's like 1/10,000 of a blink of an eye. So Sister Kammeyer and I are pushing forward. We know we can bring others to Christ through this restored gospel. We are finding people, we just need to help them progress toward baptism!

      I love you so much! Have a great week! :)

Con amor,

Hermana Webb
