Are you kidding me?

Okay woah.

I am finally here in San Antonio! How weird is that to say!? So here's the scoop:
My first area is called the Mission Creek/Highland Hills area. We cover an english ward AND a Spanish branch. So that's 2 churches in one Sunday. Kinda cool but kinda long. Our apartment is IN Downtown San Antonio. Like I am not even kidding. Like we are right down the street from the Alamo and the River Walk. We are right behind a bunch of super tall buildings and stuff! Its nuts. I thought I would NEVER even see the city. And here I am. First area and I LIVE in the downtown of San Antonio. (i just had to explain that first cause I am so excited that that happened!)

The first day that we got here we were greeted by the mission pres and his wife... obviously. But then we did some like orientation stuff and all that. THEN we went to the Alamo and had to talk to people and hand out books of mormon. Pretty crazz. Then more orientation and then 15 of us stayed the night at the AP's apartment. It was a decent sized apartment but still.... I didnt get a shower or nothing so thats cute. The next day, Thursday, we got up and had more information shoved into us... ugh. Then it was the transfer meeting and I met my new companion. His name is Elder Anderson. He is way cool and nice. Not only is he my companion but my trainer so there's a little fun thing to think about! Here's the thing. He is my trainer and he JUST got done being trained. He has only been out in the field for 12 weeks. Crazy right? Here's some more. So there is this new like study/training thing that they are setting up to train missionaries in the field (Kinda like the pilot program in the MTC. They like go together.) So only 6 missions in the world are doing it right now... testing it out. San Antonio is one of those missions. The program lasts for 12weeks. So you are with your trainer for 12 weeks doing this program. Anyway. So Elder Anderson is from Mesa Arizona and his dad was a mission president in Guatalahara Mexico. So Anderson is fluent. But anyway. He entered the MTC in like January and has been in Texas for 12 weeks. Anyways. Elder Anderson and I are kinda learning together I guess you could say. I pretty much feel like I am being lead blindly or something. I never really know where we are going or what we are doing. But hopefully that'll change real quick.

There is this week in San Antonio called "Fiesta" Its pretty much like Marti Gras but just in Texas. So that is going on like right outside our apartment! We couldn't get home the other day cause of cars and stuff (it was during a parade in the day.) We had been doing a service project for this woman and we needed to change. So we had to go to the other Elders' apartment to change. Fact: There are other Elders in our area that cover the same ward and branch. We eat meals and stuff with them and hang out with them a lot. They live in a different apartment across town cause this area is so spread out! Then there is one more companionship that covers the branch with us as well! but they live way far away. So its only Anderson and I in our apartment. ANYWAY. So Fiesta is crazy and kinda cool too. We rode our bikes the other day. I totally ate it. (yes, applause here please.) I was so embarrassed! We biked like 20 miles.

In this area its pretty Ghetto. Its pretty perfect for me, right? Like Elder Anderson was like, "Okay, we are now entering the hood!" hahahah. It's got beat up houses and like grafetti and just GHETTO! Its so great. I love it. We have used mainly english but some Spanish. I will hopefully get to use more Spanish whilest I am here though! There are so many different kinds of people all over here so that's really intersting to see. I love all the diversity and differences from what I have been around. Going from totally NOT ghetto to straight up, Dope corner... (There's a place called Dope corner...) Hahahaha :) Oh also. Dont be concerned or worried at all for me! I am totally safe!! Like extremely safe. There is no danger of getting shot. Just a lot of weird, extremely drunken people! WHOM I will baptize! :)

We eat at members houses. So far. For dinner at least. Everyone has been way nice. The ward is smaller than the branch! I had to bear my testimony in sacrament meeting in the Spanish branch! I understood like nothing. But I loved it! There was a baptizm last night for some little family coming into the english ward. It was fun. I sang at it also, with some other Elders. Anyway. We are meeting some really interesting people and trying to get some investigators. I guess all of them dropped right before I got here! Lame, right? So we will be working hard! We have talked to some people and set up like a couple of appointments. But mainly we are working with recent converts and less actives. Which is way important also.

I am having a great time! Although this is going to take a longer time to adjust to! I am pretty quiet and like not really knowing what to do but its all good. I am trying to love everything that is going on! Elder Anderson usually does all the talking so that will need to change. Cause I want to and need to get a word in! haha but I am still trying to get used to things!

My address is: 500 N Santa Rosa, #107 San Antonio TX 78207

Anyways. I love you all and am enjoying this! My p days are on mondays! ahahaha. So cool, right? Well. I have no idea what else to say. I love you! I am glad you guys are doing well! Pray for me (which I know you are doing) and for those here in texas! And the other missionaries! haha

LOVE YOU!!

<3 Always,
Elder Webb
