Hello everyone! It's a very rainy day here in Springfield, OH! However, unlike the old man we do not get to snore all day... nope, WORK WORK WORK! always :-) It's the greatest. I'm so excited Landon is in the MTC! I can't wait to get an email from you buddy! Too bad for me, I'll have to wait a week to get your email! That's okay. I have a letter written for Landon and I was going to mail it today... but I realized that I don't have his address! :-( So if someone could please stick his address in the letter that several of you have told me you'll be writing... :-P haha. seriously though, I need his address ASAP. I want to write my bro! Emails are great but when the DL walks up with a handful of envelopes at lunch/dinner or whenever... you just really want to have one! The snake was around my neck because I was being very brave. I was just going to hold it and I was super proud of myself when I did and then I was like... I can do this! So I did. :-) It was only a little 4' ball python. So nothing too scary. And now I can say that I have had a snake around my neck. Yes! I'm going to send home by filled up memory card from my camera. I hope it gets there... i was going to save my pictures to my flash drive to be safe but it will take like 3 hours... so yeah. I hope it gets there! Cuz I have fun pictures! And don't worry. I have not broken a single mission rule! We have some pictures that might look like it a little... but don't worry. I'm being a good girl :-) I'll explain all the pictures to you when I get home in 16 months! :-) If you have questions about any of the pictures attach the picture and I will tell you all about it :-)
District Meetings are awesome. We are really lucky that the other 2 companionships in our district come to us in Springfield. That's super awesome because we use up our miles anyway going to Urbana and South Charleston every week! But we have been catching rides with members lately so that's been really good. It decreases our miles a lot! (THANKS SPRINGFIELD WARD!) We went out with members of the ward 5 times this week! On Tuesday we had 3 members go with us! From 12-6! It was super awesome! When we are with members we will go visit less active members. Either their visiting teachees or members in the area we are working that day. Sometimes we'll even get them to go tracting with us! Sister Vandiford and Sister Lowell went tracting with me this week (we split up 2 missionaries tracting and then the other missionary and the member visiting less actives) Sister Vandiford is a natural! and it was awesome with sister Lowell because she didn't want to go tracting but the LA wasn't home so she did! And she stuck up an awesome conversation with these 2 ladies. I didn't have to do anything! It was great. Members are the best! So if you get the opportunity to go out with the missionaries... DO IT! Oh dad, one thing you would enjoy. I was talking about Wyoming with one of the members, Sister Roguski. I was telling her about how you think Wyoming is a temple because we don't have one but you must be wrong because we're getting one now... she told me that she has heard people say that Wyoming is where the city of Enoch was, because there is nothing there now so it must have all got taken up. haha. I thought you would enjoy that. Oh, and tell Mags that I hope I get to see her sometime while I'm on my mission. Hopefully I'll be in Columbus sometime. And tell her of course she can send me a package! :-) Well, I'm out of time. So I'm gonna peace out. I love you all! Read the Book of Mormon! Read Preach my gospel! They're awesome!
Tata! Love you!

LANDON’S E-MAIL
Hey everyone,
I have 21 minutes left on the computer till it kicks me out so I will write as much as I can as fast as I can. Well sorry I did not send a letter last week you will understand when I send them. (I will send it after I finish my laundry which is where the computers are at). Ok down to business. I have learned so much this week and have really had my eyes opened to the gospel. I am having a really good time here in the MTC. The hardest things for me is that I cannot watch sports (GO OKC!!), play music (I can sing but I can't play anything), I can't play sports anytime I want, and I most importantly I hate the fact that I am away from my Family. Ok thats enough of the negative now for the positive my companion is Elder Sooaemalelagi (So-o-a-e-ma-le-la-ngi) good luck he is from Calgary Canada. He is such a spiritual companion it is great to have him as my companion. In my room the other two elders are Elder Dewey (his father is a painter for the church so look up some of his paintings) he is from Cardston Canada pretty cool huh. Also in the room is Elder Rowley who is from Boise Ya BSU! There are 10 elders in my District Elder Hewitt who is from London England, Elder Smith who is from Canada some where in Alberta, Elder Holmsted who went to BYU, Elder Rupp who lived in Japan on a military base, Elder Coker from Canada very think canadian accent and also Elder Merrill I don't know where he is from. We have so much fun but we also study really hard to. Ok so there are 12:30 left I am trying to type as much as possible. I have just written a letter (a very intersting letter) but a letter nun the least. I am also going to add this about my letter to you guys. I know that Mom and Dad have meetings and I didn't know if you knew this or not but a meeting is not just a review. It is a time set aside for Spiritual Revelation about what to do to help others. Just keep that in thought. The letter will be sent today I promise. I am sorry there is just so much I have written I don't feel I need to write it again. My first day was hard just because it was so much to take in all at once but I am slowly becoming more use to this experience here. I love being here. It is sooooo weird, I want to read as much as I can and I don't get bored to much. It is such an interesting thing to witness personally. I was so scared that I would fall asleep but no it hasn't happened yet. The Spirit is so awesome. Ok there is still 6 minutes left but between this and the letter I don't have much more to say. I have written this week completely. Well all the huge points I felt impressed to share. I love you all and hope that I hear from you. Please write me on DearElder at DearElder.com so I can get updates on your life. I don't get to read my email until Mondays which is P-Day by the way. So all those emails I recieved earlier from Dad was not read until today. Well thanks for being such a great Family. I love you all so much.
Love your favorite Elder and Son,
Landon Webb
