Dear Familia y Amigos,
This week has been so amazing as always. The Lord has blessed us so much! I'm not only saying that because it was thanksgiving and I have to be grateful. But really, I am grateful for everything God has given me. We've had a hard time these two transfers with people committing to do really anything. I have a greater understanding of how God feels when I'm not doing what he wants me to do. But I feel like every second of this mission is worth it, even if only one person will choose to follow Christ's plan. We've seen so many miracles these past week. I'll share one of them.
So we have a conference call with the people in our district during the week to account for our week so far. We all weren't doing our best, and so we got a little rebuked. He was asking us what our reason behind the lack of work. Of course there were lots of different excuses, legitimate excuses, and yes we felt like we were working hard. Then a missionary said it's because of our lack of love for the savior. Man, it was a shot to the heart. But actually in the end it was really motivating. We've been working hard, but the rest of the week we were way more urgent and efficient.
One night when our plans fell through we were just knocking all of these doors near a trailor park, and it was freezing then we went to this one trailor with a car parked in the front. As we were about to go to the door at 8:50, a lady came out of the car and asked us what we wanted. She said she really didn't have time right then. Well we talked to her for like 2 minutes and she opened up. We felt prompted to invite her to be baptized and she said that she would and her daughters wanted to find a church to be baptized in. It was just so amazing that her heart softened immediately after we were talking to her.
We came back to that house the next day, and of course it was a bad time again, they were just fixing to leave. But we were talking to the 8 and 10 year old on the porch, about the Book of Mormon and they were so excited to read it. Then we hear a voice across the street, "Hey Sisters." So as I was still talking to the girls, my companion turned and talked to the lady across the street. She said to come by after we were done talking to them. Of course we went over. Turns out it was this young couple who moved from West Jordan Utah all the way to Ulysses Kansas in a car, then they sold their car to get a trailor. They want to completely change their lives around and they both want to start coming to church. They both came to church yesterday and met all of the members. The girl is a less-active and her boyfriend is a non-member. When we were talking about the Holy Ghost I asked her when she's felt it. She said that she knew that was the spirit guiding her when she saw us, and telling her to yell for us. They are so special! We're all like best friends, as if we all knew each other in the pre-mortal world. :)
I know our Savior loves us soo much and he gave his life for us and this is His true church on the earth! :)
I love yall so much!
mucho amor,
Hermana Webb
