Alright well the gig is still going on.
I am staying in Leander for yet another 6 weeks. I guess it will be cool. Like you said, Mom, there are people here who love me so that is a plus. Haha I guess I am just worried about having to be with the people who dont... Just kidding. I was looking forward to a change but I guess someone wants me to wait a little bit longer.
I will be happy to stay here though. The first thing I thought was, "Well I guess there is someone else here that I need to help." But still, it is kinda weird to think I will have spent at least from August 2011- February of 2012 in this area.

Really honestly I cannot think of any other news. For real. This week has not been my favorite whatsoever. We actually had a number of good lessons and good things happen. The Lord blesses us SO MUCH all the time and I always feel so guilty. Its like we are always so blessed by him but we dont do too much to deserve it, I feel. So its just unfair and I feel like I need to do a lot more to make up for it. We are teaching some people but I wouldnt say any of them are totally "Golden" or "Elect" by any means. Although they are definately prepared and we just need to do our part so they can really grasp hold of the gospel. Thats my new like resolution. Make sure someone gets brought into the gospel before I leave. Preferably a family. Anyway. Fortunately I still love being a missionary and although its really hard I am Okay. And its really not about me. Its about something a lot greater, so that helps me get through struggles.
We will be having Christmas conference this week. Aka on Thursday the WHOLE mission will be gathered together to do whatever. It will be interesting but fun. We are driving down to San Antonio which is like over 200 miles round trip. So that will be fun. I will enjoy seeing other missionaries that I have served around and that I havent seen forever. Really I feel like I dont know any missionaries any more because we are kinda like out of the loop up here in Leander. Theres not too many missionaries close to us to get to know. But anyway it will be a good experience I am thinking.

Thanks for sending me Christmas packages and stuff. I will be very happy to feel the love that is packed inside. Its kinda weird because I guess growing up I have always been like, "It'll be weird to be on a mission at Christmas time. I wont like it." But here is the scoop: its not really that weird at all. I thought I would be all homesick and stuff but I am not. I will tell you why. Because I feel like I dont have to be in the presence of my family to feel their love and to think about them and know they are thinking about me. And I also would say, because since I am serving God, He is going to make sure you all are okay and that I am okay so it will be good. And Merry. So to me it is not that weird to be on a mission at Christmas.
Anyway. I guess I will get going. I give thanks to you all for the Christmas wishes. I guess I will talk to you in like a week or something. So be ready. Remember Christ in Christmas. Remember that I love you.

Have a great week!
<3 Always,
Elder Kyle David Webb
