Landon’s Letter

So sorry I have 13 minutes to write a letter but let me tell you it was great to talk to Dad, Megan, and Annie. I wish I could have talked to Mom, Rachel, and Natalie to!

So Elder Badillo is from Colombia and has been out a year on his mission. He is a wonderful hard worker, very humble, and is just a joy to work with. He is pretty much awesome!

This week has not been to much exciting because all our investigators were gone. Ya all this week were gone.

Rachel good luck with Jazz band and Swing Choir in the morning. Now you know how I felt all those years in High School.

Natalie how is college going, classes, and anything else? How is Jon doing?

Annie keep up the stellar work! You are a great missionary.

Megan good luck with everything and I know that the Lord will bless you! He already has and will continue to do so!

Justin hope things are going good.

Mom thanks for the letters I will let you know. Good luck with school

Dad thanks for talking! I love having the updated. glad you had fun with the music thing.

I love you all and thanks for the examples you are

love your favorite brother, son, and elder

Landon Webb

Annie’s Letter

Hello Dearest Family of mine!

First of all, I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH! Just so you know.

Second, I have a question I have been meaning to ask for almost 6 months! Rachel, you're probably the best one to answer this question. Did we ever get my hoop skirt back from Shelby Russell? If we haven't...could we please? I kinda like that thing and I really don't want her to keep it forever. It's mine :-) I love it. I want it.

Third... THE COLUMBUS CREW GAME WAS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!

It was so much fun to be at the game! I was glad I went to a soccer game last year so I kindof had an idea of what was going in (Thank you Nathan Hampton!) anyway, it was great we got to see the soccer game, and have a lot of fun and see the missionaries that we haven't seen in SO long... it was just fantastic! And the Crew won! 1-0 in a last minute goal. It was great! So, it was mormon night, but it was more Spanish Heritage night. The only thing they actually did for "mormon night" was show the missionaries for like 10 seconds about half an hour before the game started. Lame. I wonder how president nilsen feels about that... he put A LOT on the line for this game... and we didn't even get to go on the field. It was sad. But still so much fun! THe pictures are me at the crew field, and then one of me and other sisters, we are all posterity of sister cash. Sister Twitchell is my trainee, sister dycus is sister finefeuiaki's trainee, sister finefeuiaki is sister wheeden's trainee, sister wheeden is sister cash's trainee, and I am sister finefeuiaki's trainee. That is a lot of people to have in one mission! And that's not even all of us! I think almost half of the sisters are posterity of sister cash. She is something of a legend. I never met her :-( then there is me and one of my favorite elders, elder birch (from Idaho) he's just a riot and then me and one of my elder's from the MTC elder mcmichael. He was freezing! Cuz he's from GA. It was cold, but not THAT cold. haha.

So I don't really have all that much to tell you guys because I e-mailed you on Wednesday and not too much has happened since then. We had another appointment with Dustin on Thursday but he wasn't there when we got there. We are hoping that he just got confused and thought our appointment was next Thursday. If not... well, we don't know where he lives and he doesn't have a phone. So either he is going to be there on Thursday and he will be getting baptized soon OR someday some other missionaries will find him and he will be ready. We had a sick day on Saturday :-( Both of my lovely companions were sick so I got to study all day while they slept. I watched The Testaments, The Lamb of God, and Special Witnesses of Christ. Plus I read a lot in the gospels. It was amazing! I felt so close to my Savior as I walked with him and learned about him. Then at Church on Sunday during Sunday School we were talking about Christ's ministry in the America's. We watched Reflections of Christ: Another Testament. If you haven't seen those pictures... go look at them. They are just amazing. I was bawling. Much to the amusement of several members of the ward. This week should be a good week. We have set some great goals and I am excited to work hard and see how they go. And next Monday we are having a district PDay. We are going to carve pumpkins and have pumpkin chocolate chip cookies (this won't suprise you...but I love to bake and so I do. It's been a rule of mine to give 1/2 of what I make away for years and so the elders really enjoy that haha) and then the next Monday we should be going to the zoo! I am SO EXCITED! plus, we are going with members who have passes so we shouldn't have to pay anything at all! But I will probably be using some money today at kroger because it's the end of the moth and that means MSF funds are low! I do good, I am really good at finding the cheapest stuff but it still costs money! And I'll probably have to get some sweaters because it's not cold yet, but it is pretty dang chilly! It will be a cold winter! I thought I left stuff kind of out, sorry I should have done better. I don't know if I left my beanies and scarves out... apparently not my sweaters... sorry. :-( Thanks for looking. You guys are great. I think that's really all I have today...sorry this email is kind of lame. :-( I love you all! have a great day! Good luck with school and work and everything, or rachel. congrats on being first chair! I'm not surprised. You're amazing. have so much fun!

Love you guys!

Annie
