Three Blind Mice

Hola!

This week we had Zone Training and we had to have training on Tornadoes (only in Kansas). Tornado season is coming – woot, woot! We did have a tornado warning last week while we were at Subway – it wasn't really a big deal or anything – just a couple of sirens!

This week we did service at a home out in Meade (aka small town)! We went and helped clean a gal’s home that wasn't too livable when we got there. I am not lying – I saw at least 30 mice running around. I don't know what it is with mice in Kansas but “no me gusta” (I do not like it)! Before we left, we went to the local market and bought all of the mouse traps they had. She said that mice are dying left and right so that is a good sign. Our one little mouse in Lamar is nothing compared to this home!

I definitely have my mama's sense of direction! The first time we got lost was going down to Oklahoma but it wasn’t too bad. Then, when we were on bikes, we were heading home from the church right before curfew (so it was dark) and I don't know how but we got lost in this neighborhood. The bad thing about Kansas is you have no way of knowing which way was North and neither of us knew how to use the Big Dipper to figure it out. We said a quick prayer and the power of prayer helped us find our way home! Then to top it off, last night we were on our way to a dinner appointment out in the country and ended up in the wrong little town (thanks Tommy). So, we knocked on a random house, and the sweetest Hispanic family answered and they knew how we could get over to the other town through the back roads so we didn’t have to travel all the way back to Liberal. Another thing about Kansas – it is kind of scary when you are on a dirt road in the middle of nowhere – with only fields all around you – and you have no idea which way you are heading or if you are heading in the right direction. But it is always an adventure and we have some good laughs about it! Poor Sister Webb – she probably didn’t grow up with the experiences of always being lost. Great memories!

Our investigator named Luis has been growing tremendously during the past couple of weeks. The family that he is living with is not very active and he is such a light to the household. This Saturday is Stake Conference and his baptism, too! Many people wanted to push his date back a week because of Stake Conference but it was such a faith building experience to not push back his date because “don't procrastinate the day of your repentance.” His baptism will be at 11:00 am with a lunch afterwards. Then that night, we will have a “revelation filled” Stake Conference. We look forward to this wonderful experience and we are so excited for Luis to enter into this covenant with the Lord. He is ready and so excited for all of the endless possibilities that come after baptism – including receiving the Priesthood.

A couple of weeks ago we were getting in our car after an appointment and two “thugs” were walking by so we stopped and talked with them. We got their information and set up a church tour for them to meet the Elders. Now, it is a couple of weeks later, and Valentine (born on Valentine's Day) is progressing immensely! The Elders always joke, “From Thug to Saint!” He doesn't miss church; he comes to all of the activities and his life has taken a complete change! I love this gospel and the change that it can make in anyone!

"What’s the worst that could happen!?"

Romans 6:4 – “Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.”
