Cockroaches in our apartment --June 6, 2011

Yes. The title is true. Actually there was just one but still. So gross. Elder Andersen found one this morning just sitting on our couch. Yummzers. (He screamed and then got it off of there.)

Anyway. I feel so bad because EVERY MONDAY I come to e-mail and I swear its like I can remember nothing from the week. Its so annoying. There is a lot that happens but the weeks seem so long (but at the same time so short) that I barely remember what had happened in la semana pasada. Its so weird. So firstly I would like to apologize for never telling you in good detail of what is going on or of any good stories from the mission. But I try.

One thing that just came to my mind: We had a training this passed week! I guess it was for all the missionaries who have been out for like 8 months and under. It was fun! We went to this chapel and were there from 9am to like 4:30pm... woof. But the first half the Assistants trained us about "Invitations". Really extending commitments to investigators and helping them ACT and become what the need to become. So that was cool. And then Presidente trained about the Book of Mormon, and it's importance and role in conversion and teaching. Something that he touched on and really just expounded on was the promise in the introduction. He told us that it is the "perfect formula" to find the answer to any question that we have. We need to: Read. Ponder. Pray. Something he said that I loved was he mentioned that Elder Oaks came to their stake conference. Elder Oaks said something like, "If you are not going to pray and ask God with real intent, you aren’t going to receive and answer." And really it was more harsh, meaning like, "If you aren’t going to be humble and willing to act on the Lord's answer, you shouldn’t even bother to pray." It was so legit. I just have been thinking about that ya know? How we need to have real intent; being willing to follow the Lord's guidance because we have faith in His will and His way. If He knows we aren’t going to listen or accept His answer, He don’t wanna be giving it to us. (He is just so cool and smart.) But the training was seriously awesome. I learned so much! We are having zone conference just tomorrow too. I am looking forward to that although it will be ALL day again. But I mean hey, its helping!

So sometimes I wonder why it is that God loves us so much. You know? Like I really don’t understand why He has blessed me so much throughout my life and why is He blessing me now? Its like no matter what, He always is there and wants to help me! I don’t understand why He is so good to me!!
Always and forever!! <3 Elder Kyle David Webb
