9/28/2015 Conference!

Dear family,
So I'm still in the middle of no where with all the cow and pig farms!
I love it. I'm getting used to the smell. Like I said before, the ward
here is absolutely amazing. We're like one big happy family! We got
the opportunity to go to the women's conference at the church. Of
course the relief society had to make it a big event and had
everything decorated and people got to paint nails and write cards to
their moms. I guess that means I'll be sending a card soon. Sorry I
haven't been the best with writing letters! We had an investigator
come to the women's conference and good thing they have it broadcasted
in Spanish!  So we are teaching a lot of Spanish here out of anywhere
else I've served. It's weird speaking 2 different languages. It's
almost harder because I have to remember how to speak English.
So I decided that I'm working on a Christlike attribute each transfer
and I'm working on humility right now. I know we need to strip
ourselves of all pride. I know that we always need to become better
and always be seeking God's will and recognizing our own weaknesses.
All of us have some sort of pride. I thought I was so humble because
people told me I was. But it's so not true. I hope I continually seek
to be humble, be teachable, in tune with the spirit, long suffering,
full of love, and patient. Like Mosiah 3:19 "For the natural man is an
enemy to God, and has been from the fall of Adam, and will be, forever
and ever, unless he yields to the enticings of the Holy Spirit, and
putteth off the natural man and becometh a saint through the atonement
of Christ the Lord, and becometh as a child, submissive, meek, humble,
patient, full of love, willing to submit to all things which the Lord
seeth fit to inflict upon him, even as a child doth submit to his
father."
I noticed that most of the talks in women's general conference were
about faith. Some of my favorite quotes were, " I don't know why we
have the many trials that we have, but it is my feeling, that the
reward is so great, so eternal and everlasting, so joyful and beyond
our understanding that in that day of reward, we may feel to say to
our merciful, loving Father, "Was that all that was required?"
What I really gained from the conference is that we have so much to be
grateful for. We have so much to have faith in. Our reward will be so
great if we are true and faithful to our covenants. I really can go on
and on about conference. I'm so excited for the opportunity to hear
from the Prophet this weekend!
I love all of you! Thanks for your examples!
Love,
Hermana Webb
