Annie’s Letter
Hello wonderful family of mine! This week has been SO CRAZY! Where even to begin?
Last Monday: after pday...everything fell through! So we made one appointment happen and when we got everyone there (members and investigator) everyone was super sad. They had all had a rough day. So Sister Arnell and I pulled ourselves up by our bootstraps and had a "this is why life is great" lesson. we drew with chalk all over the church parking lot. It was fun :-)
Tuesday we went to Zanesville to help out one of the sets of sisters that was there. So that was an exciting adventure. They live with members. The members have a guest room. There is a loft with beds in the guest room. and guess how you get to the loft?! You climb the rock wall! it was so awesome! We had a good time and hopefully helped the sisters out there.
Thursday we had a huge miracle! We were out in Centerburg for dinner with a member. On the way home we decided that we should go visit a less active member who we hadn't met yet. So we went to her house and she told us that she wanted to come back to church and her husband has read the Book of Mormon twice and the Pearl of Great Price and is halfway through the D&C and she basically has his baptism planned! yay! We were so excited! They even went to conference this weekend and both loved it! It was very exciting!
Friday we had first friday (a street fair in Mt. Vernon) and it was so successful! It was awesome, thanks to Elder Fall. I will attach a picture of him. :-)
Saturday was conference, obviously, which was AMAZING! I absolutely loved all of it! I am so excited to read all the talks again! wahoo! We were in a competition with a set of Elders to see who could get the most chapel tours. So on Saturday we were about to leave the church to go to the second session at a members home when this guy started walking through the parking lot! So we asked if he had ever seen the inside of the church, and if he wanted to. It started to rain at that moment, and he had groceries...so we went inside. Showed him around, gave him a lesson, and extended baptism. He said he would if he knew it was true! Which is what we want! So that was super exciting.
Sunday, again CONFERENCE! Brian (the guy we found the day before) even came! We were so excited! It was such a wonderful weekend! We weren't planning on having pday until thursday because WE GET TO GO TO THE TEMPLE! So that's super exciting! Anyway, Sunday night we found out that it was still pday on Monday AND we get to go to the temple on Thursday! But we had so many appointments set up that we did NOT want to cancel...so we just skipped pday. :-) Today was the first time we had a chance to email. It's been crazy!
We had misison leadership council on Wednesday and it was so awesome! INstead of going to powell like normal, we all went to Danville (Amish!) So it was fun for everyone else to get to hear their stories and meet the wonderful Amish families and their kids. The spirit was so strong. Mom, dad I'm so excited for you to meet them! They are excited too!
So that's kind of been our week. We have been very busy but have seen so many miracles. The work is going forth! It's so exciting! I just love being a part of it! I'll sure miss it. I don't really know what is going on for the last 2 1/2 weeks yet...I'll probably find out next Tuesday. haha. But I'm excited.
As for the Ohio trip, i was thinking maybe a temple session Friday and see Katie. then do the Mt. Vernon/amish country thing on Saturday. Go to Amish church on Sunday and then head to Marysville. Monday head to Springfield and see ElDee and Tuesday do Cincy. Then fly out Wednesday morning. I know some things that would be fun to do and some people to see for sure.
It sounds like things are going great for all of you! I love you and am so thankful for your love and support. Lets play a game for the last 3 weeks...
HOW MANY LETTERS CAN SISTER WEBB GET IN 3 WEEKS? That will be a fun game! :-)
Love you!
Annie
