I thought a lot about my Dad this last week (: If you don't
know what it means to be a soldier in God’s Kingdom, take a look at my Dad for
a day or two and you will get an idea.
This week we had an incredible zone conference that helped
me see a lot of things in a new light. We talked a lot about obedience. Obedience
is so important! It’s the first law of
heaven!
"Christ learned obedience through the things he
suffered." (Hebrews 5:8)
"Blessed are they whose feet stand upon the Land of
Zion, who have obeyed my gospel; for they shall receive for their reward the
good things of the earth, and it shall bring for the in its strength"
D&C59:3-4.
The first things we covenant to do when we enter the temple
is to be obedient to God. Do you think it’s important to him? YES!!!! I think a simple definition of obedience could
be ACTING on what you know if right. Acting
IS obedience. Did you know not acting on
a prompting from the Spirit is disobedience to God’s commands? God wants to bless us but sometimes the only
thing holding us back is ourselves. I think about soldiers and how obedient
they are to their Commander. God refers
to us as soldiers! Will we LIVE up to
it?
This week was good.
My comp already wrote out all the updates on investigators, so my mom
will just post that with this.
Hei: Sister Webb and I
also met with Hei this week. We are worried his intentions aren't right so we
might need to turn him over to the elders. He really opened up last lesson
about how he really isn't very happy in his life. He has a fantastic job, but
he just seems super lonely with a Lot of time on his hands. We taught him about
the Plan of Salvation and invited him to do a 7 day experiment of prayer and
scripture study.
Kelvin: No progress
this week
Nina: Stay in contact
with her all week, but couldn't meet or come to church because of father’s day.
We are planning on meeting with her this week.
Kenny and Ayan: THEY
FINALLY CAME TO CHURCH AGAIN!!!!! Yay! They have both been so busy with school,
so we haven't seen them since that last week of May, and Ayan, even longer than
that! By the way- I think it is really cute in Chinese culture- Ayan's name is
actually Yan- but the A in front is just an endearing term that they sometimes
add to their names :)
I got to go on exchanges with my first baby, Sister Perez
this week! SUCH A BLAST! She is amazing.
I have been SO blessed with companions! They have taught me so much and I’ve
come to love them as a true sister!
We also have Whatsapp now. I have a love hate relationship
with it. I can be very useful and also VERY distracting. So I decided this week
it’s ALL Sister Sam’s, I won't touch it! I got so sick of it last night I
turned off the data and took Sister Sam to a park to have comp inventory. So
ya.. not excited for a phone. I can’t believe I’m done next week. So fast! Excited to see you all! Love you!!
Love, Sister Webb
