12/7/16 Good bye U-town, Hello Topeka :)

Dear everyone who is reading this letter,

I'm leaving Ulysses! Now they're only going to have one set of missionaries in Ulysses. So Sister Samani  and her new companion have a lot on their plate to pretty much take over the area and start teaching the people the Elders were working with. I'm going to be moving out of the west into the Wichita area in Topeka, which is an all English area. So that will be quite different. I'm used to small towns with wheat fields surrounding them and the amazing smell of cattle and so I'm going to the city. It's going to be quite a culture shock.

I really don't have much to say! It's been really cool during the Christmas season to have more people open to talking about Christ and we get to share this amazing video. Check it out: Christmas.mormon.org. We get to just bring out our ipad and portable speaker and share it with anyone. They can't have the excuse that they don't have a DVD player and that they don't have time because we say it's literally 2 minutes long. We had this one Spanish family who let us in their home. The guest that was there was the only one who was listening to the video and you could see he was leaning forward and was really intently listening. It was so amazing to see the affect that it had on him and how after that video we talked about the Book of Mormon and he was just so open to the BoM and he kept looking through it and reading different sections out loud.  and after we gave him a chapter to read he said he'd read the whole book. Too bad he's going to move to Mexico in a week. But that's okay. :)

The couple I mentioned last week are looking good to get married soon and get baptized on Christmas Eve! The mission is calling that day Noche Blanca, because so many people are going to be dressed in white that night of the baptism. It's going to be so special. It's so exciting. I don't even have words to express how much of a miracle it was to meet that couple. :)

We got a challenge to read the Book of Mormon in a month and we get an hour extra of study time to read and mark it.

We're marking Red- atonement, Blue-Faith, Green-Character of Christ. :)

I wish I would've mentioned it earlier so you can all join me.

I came across this scripture after we showed the Christmas video, and they quote part of this in the video.

2 Nephi 19:6

"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder; and his name shall be called, Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace."

I love you all so much! "Rejoice Greatly" because of Christ.

love,

Hermana Webb
