April Fools? 4/2/2012

This year I would like to say that anyone who didnt like conference is an April straight up FOOL! For real it was so great and I am pretty sure I was like so happy the entire time. Its crazy how much it like recharges me and I cannot believe I have not been paying attention for all these years. I am so ready for the Ensign to come out though because I want to read those talks over and over. Its amazing how much truth really just makes sense and things that they say just add upon my understanding and make me feel like I have a grasp on more than I do. I kept praying for weeks before conference that I would be able to hear and understand the message that God wanted me to have, and I feel like I did. I have a greater testimony of a living prophet, and I have a greater desire to build up the kingdom of God and serve his children with way more love. Although now I am going to get a tattoo that says, "Dont judge me just because I sin differently than you." Doesnt that bring you comfort to hear?!We got to watch conference at the ward building for one session and then at some members' homes which was fun. And nice. The investigators that we have watched general conference and LOVED IT! Like Barbara, , she said she was just crying because she loved it so much. She is totally getting baptized. She told us she is like always on lds.org listening to things and reading from the book of mormon. We brought a member with us and they just hit it off great and Barbara was asking her questions and all these kinds of things. It was great. And I just felt the spirit just thinking about how people all over the world with tons of different backgrounds and beliefs are converted to this church... because it is Christ's true and living gospel. And that feels good to see people who have struggled to make that change but have overcome obstacles and are thriving in the gospel. Its awesome.Another investigator that we have is a man named Robert. His wife got baptized not too long ago and she is just ON FIRE! And so now he is learning but he wants to take it slow so he knows he really has his own testimony and isnt just joining the church because of his wife. But he is so hilarious. I havent had a chance to teach him yet but I've eaten with him. But he is an awesome guy and is totally reading and praying and everything we invite him to do. I just love the decent hearted people in this world.We've also been knocking and thats fun to talk to a bunch of people. Although knocking doesnt bring much success, its a way to kill time I guess and the only thing we really know to do after we've tried other things. But I mean its fun to meet different people. Oh my gosh. My hands hurt so bad. We were playing volleyball just Elder Fordham and I this morning to work out and now my hands are all like weird feeling. But it was so legitness crazy fun. We just hit it back and forth and its just fun. I am way excited for another week to work and see miracles. If you are wondering how I like the area, I LOVE IT! Honestly I have no idea why but this place is so great. Its like country but suburbia and also like ghetto is some parts and just the people are great. The ward is great. My companion is great. I am just always enjoying myself even if circumstances try to convince me otherwise. I really do enjoy this area a lot though. Everything is great. I am taking care of myself. I love life. General conference was the bee's knees. Easter is coming up. No complaints from over here.
<3 Always,Elder Kyle David Webb
