Happy Birthday Hannah! :)

Hey, people! Thanks so much for the bday wishes!

Sorry I haven't written in a couple weeks. Last week we went to the temple and then didn't have time to get on to email. I had a really cool experience there! I got to help a woman from the rainforest get situated and help her get her family names to be baptized for. It was probably one of the most peculiar afternoons I've ever had. Her name was Trinidad. 

We have another baptism coming up in a couple weeks. His name is Juan Patrone. We contacted him on the bus and he is SOLID! He loves the lessons and says he knows the Book of Mormon is true! I am so stoked about him!!! He came to church and had an incredible experience. 

Two weeks ago we put on zone meeting in our zone. Our theme was HASTENING THE WORK! We are focusing on overcoming fear. Perfect love casteth out ALL fear, so that's what the goal is: To help our members, investigators and ourselves cast out fear by having more love and by doing the will of the Lord! Zone meeting was great and as a zone this month we have a goal to have one baptism and find 13 new investigators each week in September!!! The goal 13:1

IT'S GONNA HAPPEN!!!

Also, today I am 20. Hermana Bybee is taking me somewhere... I'm not quite sure where, but we will see! She's the greatest companion ever. 

There is nowhere in the world I would rather be! I hope you all know how much I love you! I am so happy to being doing God's work. It's exhilarating, challenging, and the greatest thing I've ever done in my entire life. I love you all!! Have a happy, happy week! 

Love, 

Hermana Webber

The Lower Lights

"Brightly beams our father's mercy

From His lighthouse ever more,

But to us He gives the keeping

Off the lights upon the shore...

Let the lower lights be burning, 

Send a gleam across the way.

Some poor fainting, struggling sea-man,

You may rescue, you may save."

So, I finally realized what the heck this song is talking about!

 WE are the lower lights! The lower lights are a series of lights along a shore that guide ships to the harbor when they can't see the higher lights coming from a lighthouse! If Christ is the light shining from a lighthouse, then that would make us the ones who guide others, along the way, to him! WE are the lower lights! We can guide people to safety, wee can rescue, and we can save!

 Hermana Bybee and I sang this hymn in sacrament meeting yesterday. The lyrics are better in Spanish, jaja, and I felt the Spirit burning in my chest as we sang to our branch about missionary work. :) This branch is gonna be a WARD soon! I just know it!

Speaking of saving, our investigator, Edward Tapia, was BAPTIZED YESTERDAY!!!

It was the smoothest, most spirit-filled baptism I've ever witnessed. Edward is the most golden investigator I've ever had the privilege of teaching, and it's been such a joy to witness his conversion over the past month.He texted us the night before his baptism and said, "Is there anything I should study on my last night as an investigator??" Man, what a champ!!!

 He truly has been converted to this gospel, which means SO much more than just a baptism...

Edward's been coming out with us almost every day this week to help us teach, and he invited a bunch of non-members to his baptism. He's such a great missionary! He brought one of his best friends to church yesterday and she stayed for the baptism. Afterwards, he ran up to Hermana Bybee and I and said, "I gave her a Book of Mormon! I accomplished your challenge! Does that count as a new investigator??" 

This kid is gonna bring so many souls unto Christ! 

If only everyone realized the joy you receive in sharing the Gospel, no one in this church would ever go astray. That is probably the most important thing we can do as members of this church; SHARE IT WITH OTHERS! :)

In other news, Hermana Bybee and I picked up a beautiful family of investigators this week. The Gonzalez family. I LOVE them! Pray for them, please! :) 

Well, my thoughts are also turned to Ryan Tomac today as I heard about the news... Ya know, he was a lower light too... He was such an INCREDIBLE leader in our community and at THS... I love him and I hope his family is doing well. Don't ever doubt the power of prayer!!! Pray for them too!!! 

I love you all!!! I love being a missionary. I know the Lord is counting on us to guide his children safely home to Him. Let's GOOOOO!!! :) 

Love,Hermana Hannah Webber
