Its kinda weird to say that this was my second slash last Easter whilest being on a mission... But its good to hear that you all enjoyed the holiday and everything seems to be going well.
My day yesterday was good. Our dinner canceled on us so we were just banking on someone at church asking where we were going and inviting us over. Which finally happened last hour. We ate with this family who is really from California and they are in love with Disney and they are very culturally knowledgable if that makes sense. That pretty much means they know stuff and have different interests and have opinions on things. And I like people like that because conversations are always easy to have. They actually have a son who is going to be heading out to the Utah Ogden mission in July so thats kinda fun... He isnt too happy about the wait but he is very excited. They are a nice family and it was fun to spend some time with them.
We also taught this 11 year old girl that wants to be baptized. Her name is Marissa. Her mother is a returned missionary who sadly doesnt go to church any more... Theres a lot more to the story that we dont really know for sure but she is really nice and willing to let us come and teach and baptize her daughter. I just hope she will come back into activity. Her parents actually live with them and they are 'active' in the church they just can never come because the grandma has alzheimers and I think the husband isnt in full health either but they get the sacrament brought to them. But yesterday Marissa's grandpa learned that I was from California and he came out to see where I was from... He then informed me that he had a best friend growing up named DAVID WEBB! And then I got all freaked out and he said that David was like 70 so I was like, that is NOT my dad... but my dad has that same name... And I kinda do too if you take the Kyle off... But it was kinda funny and weird. He also said that That david lives in Seattle or something now. Its always funny because everyone is like, "Oh I know some Webbs..." and I always get to be like, "Well I am not related to them because there arent that many that I am CLOSELY related to..."
Robert is my favorite man ever. He is so smart and has good questions. I think he knows the church is true, he is just kinda waiting to be more ready before he is baptized. Robert is pretty much more active than some members, so it'll be sweet when he is baptized and they are sealed. The other day we actually talked a little bit about temples and they were like, "Yeah we need to go get that whole eternal marriage thing done!" So they are preparing for it!
Barbara is totally doing great. We had a few first lessons this week that went well. There was one lady that we have a return appt with who said she likes to go to different churches because she is seeking the truth and she feels she has not found it yet. We are excited to go back.
The weeks are so long but go by so fast. Its crazy. But this week has overall been pretty good. The real thing I want to say is that every week Dad sends me a little "happy thought" or something and EVERY WEEK without fail the happy thought applies directly to something that I need. So if thats not inspiration I really dont know what is.
I read from the book of mormon and the New Testament every day and its crazy how much I learn. The funny thing to me is that all of these people just pass out about the fact that we have another book and we have a different god and a different christ or all of this kind of stuff. They honestly just make a mess about it.... But when in reality all of our doctrine comes straight from the Bible. Its so simple and clear in there and still people can get confused and take it for totally different. I'm just so glad that everything about this gospel makes sense, because when I read the bible, I gain more understanding and I feel like my testimony is strengthened in the fact that this organization is on the right track. Like totally. I am looking forward to another great week and I am grateful for all of the prayers in my behalf. Its great to know I have such a strong support system and to feel the power from that.
Have a great week!<3 Always,Elder Kyle David Webb
