Working More With The Members

So this week was pretty good.  We are adjusting to our new mission president and he is doing things quite differently than our last president.

We have been challenged to work with the members more, so we committed to be better. We called some of the members who are less inclined to do missionary work and asked them if we could come over. Then we shared a powerful scripture about the work and we would ask them to pray while we were out in their area.  Then we go to work and work and work and work.  We didn't have an area or experience where we haven't seen a miracle.  And we did it six times!

We also got to teach a less active member of the ward who is gay. He is going through a rough time with the church because he is gay, and so my goal of the entire visit was to reaffirm the love God has for him.  We told him God is aware and loves him.  We read some scriptures with him.  The most basic, fundamental principle of this church is that God is our loving Heavenly Father. That is the first thing we teach.  It was a powerful message and we all walked away in tears.  I don't know if he will ever come back to the church but I know he felt love. Hopefully he remembers how much he means to Heavenly Father.

We also ran into a guy who said he wishes the church still practiced polygamy... that ticked me off.

Then we talked to another lady who hates the temple and that made me mad too.  But it's okay I'm over it! 

We also met another less active girl who started crying because she needed us that day, and that was neat.  We didn't even hardly share a message with her and she started crying. I still don't know how to react to tears but I'm getting better!  I LOVE YOU ALL!

Love, Sister Webb

We really love frozen yogurt!!
