HELLO!
Got some cool updates from home this week. Looks like the
buggy has been put to good use and Hailey keeps on seeing my favorite band live
without me.
So that's cool.
This week went very very well for us! Last week I mentioned
how our numbers weren't very good even though we felt like we were working our
hardest. WELL! This week our hard work showed up on paper! We were able to
visit so many people this week, I actually beat my personal best. One time we
even got 5 lessons in a single day. Seriously, things just went right for us
quite a bit. :)
We did get our transfer calls on Saturday. It looks like I'm
staying district leader in Richmond for another transfer. But Elder Muniz is
leaving me to serve in Pittsburgh with one of my old companions (Elder Curay)
They'll be great together! And my new companion will be someone named Elder
Green...? I don't know much about him yet. But he has been out for about 18
months, and I think he's white and probably from Utah! But I'll meet him
tomorrow officially. So I'll have more updates next week. :)
We had the lesson about Sabbath day with Mariela as planned
(minus the church tour) and it was such a blessing. She seems to come closer to
Christ no matter what we do. She puts in all the effort in the world. Before we
even started talking about her coming to church with us, she started telling us
about how she's going to talk to her boss and ask for a day off to come to
church. We set a day in the future when she'd like to come! So on May 3rd we
should be able to bring her to church for the first time. That's one step
closer to baptism eligibility!
Lastly, we had a baptism yesterday! I don't know if I've
mentioned her before, but her name is Nayeli Aguirre. She's about 20 years old,
and she was an investigator I used to teach back in January. I only got to
teach her the first half of the lessons, and then we had to hand her off to
some other missionaries. She got baptized yesterday and we were invited to come
watch and help! (pictures attached) Everything went well, she is such a cool
girl. She knows what she wants, and she decided that becoming a member of the
church was what she wanted, so there was no stopping her.
All in all, a pretty good week, and a good way to end off
this transfer with Elder Muniz. I've
been blessed in this area, and It's pretty cool to be able to stay here for so
long. This will be my 6th month here in Richmond, and when the time comes, it's
going to be hard to leave.
Thanks for all the love and support.
Shout out to the Somervilles for the letter!
Happy Early Birthday Jaxon and Dad!
Love you!
Elder Webster
