Well hello family and friends!!!
I hope all is well back in the 801 or wherever you are! This week was awesome!!!!!! We have really been working hard and trying to get some new big things started up and going! First big news!
My dear friend Webb! So Webb used to smoke around 140 cigarettes a week... This week he quit for three days smoked one, got extremely upset, and hasn’t smoked one since!!!! From 140 to 1 in one week. We did this stop smoking workshop with him which involves flushing out the tobacco with vitamin C and grapefruit juice and brushing your teeth and using mouthwash as well as praying and involving God a lot more than people normally would when trying to quit! Webb is such an awesome man and has quit smoking and it has been so cool to see him completely change his life around!!! We met his 7-year-old son who Webb is working towards baptizing in January of next year when he turns 8 years old! Webb also has a job interview at Davis Bros (A local satellite company owned by some members out here). I really hope he lands the job it would be huge for his life and especially working with and around a lot of other members!
Sad news was that Shane's dad passed away unexpectedly. Shane is a recent convert and Elder Durrant and I baptized his two boys and Shane's dad passed and it has been extremely rough on him and their family so we have been praying a lot for them!!!
We had 8 people make it out to church this week which was so awesome! Webb is bringing all of his friends into the gospel and really is an awesome missionary and it is so cool to see how excited he is about sharing the gospel. We are having a fireside before Webb's baptism this Saturday so that all of his friends can come and check out the church and President Loveland is going to make the drive down to teach the Fireside and then we will all move into the baptismal area to watch Webb be baptized!!!! How awesome huh?
Anyway we have a new family of 7 we have very high hopes for and really think they have desires to follow Christ and I am so excited for them and the potential. The branch has really been supporting us a ton and it has been awesome to see things come together like they have!!!
Look at me ramble haha love you all have a great week! Remember your Savior this week. Don’t be selfish, look outwards alright!!!!
