Guadalupe

Howdy y'all,
Sorry for the short letter last week, there's a lot of juicy deets here in Guadalupe. So now I'm with Elder Villegas. He has the same amounts of time as Elder Baquiax, 4 months almost. I'm pretty much retraning him, because I don't wanna call people out or anything, but.... But Elder Villegas has a lot of potential, and is a good missionary, and he's from Mexico City like all my other companions, so we'll see what happens.
When I got to the area we had a grand total of 3 investigatores, none of which are progressing. It was pretty embarrassing. I don't know what these dudes were doing but there's nothing here. It's really sad too because the area has a ton of potential, it's a big area and a big ward. Yesterday there were like 80 people that attended church, and when I asked for a copy of the ward directory there's like 600 members in the area. In the ward there are 3 areas and in our area there's like 300 members. So we have a lot of work to do. This week we didn't do much because my companion was sick until Thursday. But the other days we found some new people to teach and we received some references from the members. I have a lot of faith the the Lord has prepared a lot of people here and that the fields are ready to harvest.
The other day I read a scripture that describes my mission D&C 64:33 and 34 says "Wherefore be not weary in well-doing, for ye are laying the foundation of a great work. And out of small things proceedeth that which is great. 34 Behold, the Lord requireth the heart and a willing mind, and the willing and obediente shall eat the good of the land of Zion in these last days." In our lives we never can know the impact of the little things we do.The Lord requires a willing heart and a willing mind, the Lord asks for us to obey and then he does the rest. I hope everyone has a great week, and can remember the Lord and live by righteousness that will lead us to our reward.
Love-Elder Webb

De Calvillo a Guadalupe

Howdy y'all
This week's pretty exciting. Today were the much awaited transfers. I am now in Guadalupe 2 in Zacatecas. It's weird- it's about 10 minutes from my first area, Zacatecas 2. And my new companion is Elder Villegas from Mexico City. And lemme tell you it's so good to be back in the city, and it's sooo good to be back in a ward. I haven't met any of the members of anything but it just feels good. We went to the grocery store and there were more the 5 isles, it was amazing. It seems like a great place, and I'm ready to work hard here. I really learned a lot in Calvillo, being in a little branch with a lot of needs really helped me to gain more confidence and work better. I'm going to miss the people in Calvillo there are a lot of great members (9) and investigatores. Elder Baquiax was a little sad in the morning, but he's gonna be able to lead the area with power and authority now.
Aw man the picture thingy doesn't work and I don't have a lot of time. Welp I hope everyone has a great week
love Elder Webb

Recordando Baquiax

Howdy yall,
This week was pretty rough but still good. We are now in week 11 of 12 in Elder Baquiax's training. Good old Elder Baquiax. I remember the first time when we went to the grocery store, Elder Baquiax just followed me around and bought the exact same things that I bought, then he asked me to teach him how to polish his shoes, and later he asked me to teach him how to shave himself, and now he's almost become his own man.
Supposedly I'm supposed to be transferred here shortly but we'll see what happens. Luckily the ap's are in my district so I'll get all the juicy deets from them here in a few days. And zoinks it's already may what happened to april, sometimes I still write 2016 in my agenda. Anyways this week was exciting on friday and saturday we went to visit the ranchitos here in Calvillo we went to La Labor which is about 45 minutes from Calvillo and we went to San Tadeo which is about 30 minutes from Calvillo and the branch president is actually from there but now he lives in Aguas. We have a family that is really great from La labor there's Fransisco and his wife Jasmin and the 2 kids. They weren't able to make it to church for the lack of funds this week, and we have another in San Tadeo named Rogelio that's pretty good too, he comes to church on and if but has a bunch of crazy ideas. You know that's the one thing about los pueblitos there are a ton of old gummers with a bunch of crazy ideas.(althought that's true in the whole world, it's more intense here in Calvillo) Rogelio told us that the other day he was walking in the woods when suddenly a huge indian poped out of no where and was about to attack him, but then the little Indian saved his life, and then all of the sudden Rogelio hunted a deer and that's how the meat got to the table... I'm pretty sure he gets his dreams and real life confused. He also told us that some old crusty dude with a big old beard was painting some paintings in Calvillo (I've seen this guy about a thousand times) and that he was convinced that is was Jesus Christ, he said "he even had the same sandals!" Ya whatever Hermano Rogelio, he's progressing poco a poco. Como Ven.
 I hope we can all remember Jesus Christ this week who offers us perfect love, one of the apostles I don't remember who said that the most powerful love after the love of Christ is the love of our Mothers. I'm very grateful for my mom and for all the love she has given me, she has been one of the most influential personas in my whole life, and has taught me how to live the gospel through her example. I love you mom and I hope you have a very nice mothers Day, also I hope yall have a great week
Love Elder Webb

The 3rd Epistole of San Webb

The 3rd Epistole of San Webb to the people of Alpine
1 Oh ye fair ones, oh beautiful people, how could you have perverted the ways of the Lord? Oh wicked people, repent ye repent ye, and come unto Christ, or the Lord shall surely say: Destroy thou them! And chuck them in the pit of everlasting wo!
2 Wo Wo Wo!
3 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,
4 Wo unto the poor in spirit: for theirs is not the kingdom of heaven.
5 Wo unto they that do not mourn: for they shall not be comforted.
6 Wo unto the unmeek: for they shall not inherit the earth, nay not even the land of Mexico.
7 Wo unto they which do not hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall not be filled. Nay, Nay, not even one taquito
8 Wo unto the unmerciful: for they shall not obtain mercy.
9 Wo unto the impure in heart: for they shall see the wicked one!
10 Wo unto the he that maketh corn doggery: for they shall not be called the children of God.
11 Wo unto they which are persecuted for unrighteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of the furnace and fiery pit.
12 Wo are ye!
13 And it came to pass that in the 13th month of the reign of San Webb over the people of Calvillo that there came a drought, not a drought of thirst for a tasty horchata, but a drought of baptisms.
14 And the heart of San Webb was sorely afflicted, and he cried all the night unto the Lord saying: Por quéééé?
15 But nevertheless the powerful Elder Baquiax who was about to finish his training, was sorely confused.
16 But the powerful Branch President said unto them: Fear not, I bring chicken and tortillas
17 Now behold the Lord forbids me that I right more, and my heart is sorely afflicted for your unrighteous sake.
18 Nevertheless I love and miss y'all
19 Elder Webb
