Alrighty. First off: Last night I fell asleep to myself singing songs from the Sound of Music. That’s why the title is such.
Other than that. Hello.
This week was yet again not that exciting but nonetheless it was filled with good things. We had Zone Conference! Which was pretty fun! I kinda like sitting in a chapel and listening to people who somewhat know what they are talking about with regards to missionary work! Although it is like 80 hours it is seriously so great! (I would tell you about stuff that we learned... but Tuesday- when zone conference was- feels like it was 7 months ago...) But I really do enjoy getting trained and talking more about how we can become better missionaries!
We have been working hard but seeing nothing happen. We are trying to focus on people who are 'Prepared' we don’t want to just talk to people who aren’t going to act for like ever. Because we don’t want to waste our time with someone who is going to get nothing out of our visits! But it is extremely difficult to find such people. We always need to follow the Spirit and we KNOW that God wants to direct us to find these people... Its just easier said and believed than followed. We meet a lot of interesting people every day so its sure great to be entertained most times. We also are trying to follow up with less actives and stuff like that. Its just really hard cause we don’t know how exactly to go about that. I am not to good at bringing people back to the fold... I've never done this kinda stuff before. Oh p.s. There is like nobody who attends the ward or branch. There are like maybe 50 counting kids at the ward on Sundays... If we are lucky... Anyway. Its just frustrating cause we don’t know what to do! (At zone conference, President kinda was talking about how he felt for us cause it really stinks! haha) Oh also. So every other week we have to write our letter to the president in spanish. This week he responded to my spanish and said, "Excellent Spanish Elder!" And he asked me how I did on some test. OKAY- apparently the assistants made this test that is 2 hours long! We were supposed to take it after zone conference but we had appointments and our district leader didn’t tell us about the test anyway. So I didn’t take the test therefore I know not how I did.
Kinda cool experience: We were planning out our day the other night and we wanted to go check up on some members. Well I was like, "Hey lets see if the Binghams are available, I'll call her!" So when I did she answered the phone and was just sobbing and she was like, "Can you guys come over? I need a blessing!" So... (I know this is the job of the Elders' Quorum in the ward but there are like 4 Elders... If that... So we just went!) She was just hysterical because her mother had had a stroke and was in a coma at home. (In New Mexico) And she was pretty much dying. Sister Bingham was so just not herself and it was a great experience to be able to go and give her a blessing of comfort! Its also cool cause I just realize that she needed us at the moment and Heavenly Father made us think to call her. He is always looking out for us!
Okay well. I guess that is enough. Oh gosh. It is getting so warm here. Good news is we only have to wear our suit coats if it is less than 70 degrees outside. So I haven’t had to wear one out working at all! But we do wear them at church on Sunday and at Conferences! But we are getting pretty warm! Oh hey! My bike is fixed! The other day we were riding and we were SO SWEATY!! Oh man. And we ate some Panamanian Tacos that kinda tasted like Dog Food. Woof.
I hope you have a great week!
Always, <3 Elder Kyle David Webb
