Quickerz-- May 9, 2011

This week was supes good. I am trying to remember all that happened! I gave another haircut! OH! And. It totally rained. And poured really. We worked a lot with members and less actives. Trying to get them more converted since we don’t have very many members attending, we want to make sure they have some sort of Spiritual experience. AND of course we want their help in this work of finding people to teach! Working with members... I think... will really help us in the long run! So we were doing that this week visiting and giving them Books of Mormon to hand out to their friends. We also chatted with some people and taught a lot of first lessons. The Zone Leaders called us last night cause (I guess by the numbers) we did hecksa good. So they congratulated us.
We had a really cool experience with Marta this week. (Member who is living in poverty but has SO MUCH FAITH!!) So her daughter is in the hospital and pretty much bleeding to death and Marta was going and visiting her and stuff and she was just kinda scared. (When we talked to her at first) And then on Saturday we were pretty much guided by the Spirit all day of what to do and teach and we were having a lot of success and just seeing miracles. Anyway. So we were lead to her house. It didn’t seem like anyone was home but we called her and she was balling and turns out she was at home and wanted us to come in. When we were there she said, " Seeing you guys on my doorstep is like seeing angels that the Lord God has sent to me. Its like you guys came at the exact moment that I needed you! How did y'all know!? This is just like a sign from the Lord God that He is reaching out for me and telling me that I am not alone." (Amazing, right?) So we chatted with her for a long time and she was so just like out of it I guess you could say. Crying, worried, sick about it. It was so sad cause she is never like that. She is also a schystophrenic so she was scared she was going to start hearing voices cause she was so worried. She said all these thoughts are going in her mind at 100 mph. She was just so on edge and then we gave her a blessing of comfort (which was cool cause I had the privilege of declaring it.) And she fell asleep during it!! Like what the!? She was just sitting there, balling, not thinking she could rest or be calm about anything and she is ASLEEP! We helped her move over to the couch and lay down and while we did she was all confused and stuff... Anyway she said, "Wow, I feel so calm."
Elder Andersen and I were just taken back with everything that happened that day and especially with her! I mean the amazing power of the Priesthood helped her to calm down so that she could rest! We were so grateful for everything and it was just such a great experience!
Always, <3 Elder Kyle David Webb
