So this week has been so eventful! We had specialized training with all the people from our zone and another zone. We also had Sisters Conference with all of the sisters in the mission (you can see how beautiful all the sisters are in the picture). Then to end the whole week with a spiritual bang, we had general conference!
For sisters conference we had the theme DOTS: depend on the savior. We wore polka dots (well not everyone got the memo:) and we read the book "You Are Special". You're all probably familiar with the story. But basically these Wimmicks were judged based off of how beautiful they were, how high they jumped and how smart they were. People would put dots on those who weren't the best and they put stars on who they thought deserved it. It's so sad to see how we base our self worth off of what others think of us, or what we think of others. At the conference, we all had people put dots on our faces, but then at the end of the conference we had them all taken off:) We talked about our self worth and how the Savior see's each and every one of us as we really are. We also talked about all the women in the scriptures like Emma Smith, Mary, Hannah, and Ester and how we can emulate them. It was so good to see all the sisters and to see how I've come to know and love every single one of them (well at least try to... because there's about 72 sisters :)
General Conference was just so amazing! Of course I always have my favorites like President Monson, President Uchdorf, and Elder Holland, and my new favorite Elder Stevenson. I loved the message that President Monson gave about how our decisions determine our destiny. We have this wonderful gift of agency and we do truly decide our eternal happiness! And of course if we don't care where we end up, then our choices don't matter (classic Alice in Wonderland). I loved President Uchdorf's talk about how we can have hope and be rebuilt from the ashes. Elder Holland's talk was just a reminder of how we don't have to be perfect but we just need to be trying, and that we can do it :) I loved listening Elder Gary E. Stevensons talk about how critical keys are not only in starting a car (that story sounds familiar) but in Christ's Church. No matter how many times we teach the restoration, I'm always just so passionate that this is truly Christ's church because it has the proper priesthood authority! :)
I love you all so much! I'm so grateful for your prayers and support. I know that our Savior lives and loves us. Our Heavenly Father has a plan for each and every one of us. We are truly made to be glorious! :)
love,
Sister Webb
