3/28/16 Easter Egg Hunt



Dear Familia,
Women's conference was so amazing! I loved how centered it was on
service! I loved how it talked about how we can communicate to people
without looking in a mirror but through a window. I also loved how it
talked about our circle of influence. We gave such a great impact on
everyone around us. We can make such a difference!

This week we saw many miracles and found so many people looking for
the truth! I truly know this is Christ's work. He leads us to the
people we need to bring to the gospel! I know this isn't only true for
full-time missionaries but for member missionaries! Well actually
member missionaries are the full-time missionaries because we will
only be around for 18 months-2 years at a time! :)

I loved sacrament meeting yesterday. I was reminded so much more of
Christ's sacrifice for me. Someone in sacrament mentioned how Christ
remembers everyone of us by looking at his hands, the prints of the
nails. What if we were to remember Christ each time we looked at our
own hands?

3 Nephi 11
14 "Arise and come forth unto me, that ye may thrust your hands into
my side, and also that ye may feel the prints of the nails in my hands
and in my feet, that ye may know that I am the God of Israel, and the
God of the whole earth, and have been slain for the sins of the world.
15 And it came to pass that the multitude went forth, and thrust their
hands into his side, and did feel the prints of the nails in his hands
and in his feet; and this they did do, going forth one by one until
they had all gone forth, and did see with their eyes and did feel with
their hands, and did know of a surety and did bear record, that it was
he, of whom it was written by the prophets, that should come."

Each of us can come one by one to personally know Christ.
If we only treated each day as an Easter egg hunt. Try to look for all
the tender mercies God has given you!

I love you all so much! Ofa atu!
Love,
Sister Webb

3/21/16 Happy Easter!

Dear Familia!
Life is so good! It's a great day to be a missionary every day! This
past week a lot happened! We had a zone conference and it was almost
the most spiritual experience I had! Sister Bell (the mission
presidents wife) talked about having joy verses happiness. She talked
a lot about how we can find joy in the journey. Wherever we're at in
life we can have true joy!! She even talked about their trip to the
Virgin Islands. It was supposed to be their dream vacation (nothing
compared to our vacations) but they ended having to sleep in these
tents with Geckos crawling everywhere. Sister Bell and some of their
kids were not too up to the idea of having these creatures crawling on
them at night although a President Bell and the other kids wanted to
stay. Anyway there was a lot more to the story but they ended up
sleeping somewhere else. But that was what they remembered about that
trip was the things that went wrong. I know that we can find joy in
the little things. We can have joy even when everything seems to be
falling apart. I thought it was really refreshing to hear about this
in zone conference. And of course we were trained on how to be
challenging and testifying missionaries at the conference!
So we met this guy the other day and his homeless friend. His friend
named Critter was traveling from California to Kansas and he passed
through Utah and received a Book of Mormon. He read some of the book
but wasn't too interested so he gave it to his friend. Well rewind a
week ago, a recent convert told us to go see this guy because he just
moved in. I was on splits with that recent convert while my companion
was resting after she got her tooth removed. And we ran into him
outside. She remembered him from middle school (small town problems)!
The first thing he said was that he was looking for a church and
particularly wanted it to be in Salina! Well this is quite the
opposite reaction we get from people because people in Abilene usually
don't want to drive 30 mins to get to church! So that was really a
miracle! He's living with his girlfriend and has a 6 month old. He
wants a church that is centered on families! It was just so awesome.
How many times does someone receive a Book of Mormon from a homeless
person and wants to come to church before the've heard about the
church? I know Heavenly Father is in the details of our lives. I know
Christ lives and loves us. I know this church is the only church with
the true authority from Christ!
Love ya mucho!
Sister Webb

2/22/16 Baptism and Birthdays are the best!

So Edwin got baptized!! It was such a neat experience! Also it was
sister Jensen's birthday so Belinda (Edwin's mom) surprised her with
cake! I'm so excited for the rest of Edwin's family to soon join him
and then in a year get sealed in the temple! I know our Savior loves
us and I know that baptism is so essential in Gods plan and we can
truly access the atonement of Jesus Christ flyer we've made that
covenant!
Love all of you so much!
Love,
Sister Webb :)

Sister Webb!

3/7/16 Welcome to Abilene

Hey family!
I was transferred this week to Abilene, this little town near Salina!
It's great! :) I'm companions with Sister Manu (aka Sister Beast in
English) she came straight from Tonga! She has only been in America
for a couple of months! It is always an adventure with her! Heavenly
Father really wants me to learn from Tongans or something because this
is my 2nd Poly companion. I think it's their loving nature and
passion! So this week we have a baptism coming up for Becca Miller!
The sister met her at the Library a couple of weeks ago! We're so
excited for her!
I love you all so much!
Love,
Sister Webb
