Alright.
I'm not going to beat around the bush or anything like that.
Yesterday was like the best day of my life, I'm pretty sure. Holy macoral.

Brother Harbour is the best man alive. You could just tell on his face like the whole time that he was getting baptized. He seemed happy and it was a big deal and it is something eternal. I loved it. You could just feel some excitement among the family. I'm pretty sure Sister Harbour was just beaming the whole time. The place was packed, Elder Caldwell said there were over 125 people there. The cool thing is this: they had Elder Caldwell playing the piano and me leading the music so I got to stand in from and just look at the Harbours the whole time. We kept like exchanging glances and we were all just smiling so much.

Sister Harbour spoke at the baptism and she talked about us and how we were "hand picked just for Bro. Harbour... that the Lord sent us here in Leander right when they needed us." She said that we are like their sons and she loves us so much. So that just made me feel really good, and grateful. It helped me realize my purpose and how blessed I am to be used as an instrument for the Lord in this family's life.

There was just such a spirit of love there and I was filled with so much joy. Sister Harbour's dad, the one who performed the baptism, came up to me and said, "Well, you didn't just help one man make it into the celestial kingdom, you helped a whole family." And that is what makes me so happy. Knowing that now, this family can return to live with their Heavenly Father and be together like this forever. Never have I felt joy like this. There are things on earth that may bring some happiness... but I have never felt a sure joy like I have from this experience with this elect man. I am so grateful to my Heavenly Father for this opportunity.

I love this. I have so much to be grateful for this holiday season. And its all because God has blessed me with so much love and so many miracles that I cannot even describe. I know He hears and answers our prayers. And He has so much mercy and love towards each and every one of us. No matter who we are.

Have a very Happy Thanksgiving. We really have a lot to be grateful for.

<3 Always,
Elder Kyle David Webb
