I STAY!!

Elder Stoddard, Joseph Ammed and I after his confirmation

ME at a beautiful place

Oh what a beautiful morning! Oh, what a BEAUTIFUL DAY! Well hello dearest family, A new calling, a new companion, SAME PLACE!

President called us yesterday morning and told me that I was to STAY and Train another missionary, there are going to be 13 coming in so areas are opening up, disticts reforming, and I have been called to be Distict Leader over Alingsås and Trolhättan. I am pretty excited to be training again... but not so sure about Distict Leader. Äldste Winegar will be staying in Malmö. We have a guess, the transfer after this one will be a THIRTEEN WEEK TRANSFER, yes that is including the months of December, January, and February. Coldest, darkest, and longest transfer. Also Christmas will be happening during that transfer. So if we are good little boys, and plead president to let us be together for that transfer and if it's the will of the Lord, We could be doing some COOL combined Winegar Webster Christmas call! Anyways... Elder Stoddard will be going to Jönköping with my old companion elder Barlow! What a great opportunity. Transfers are always so exciting! Hopefully I'll be able to fill the shoes the Lord has given me! Go UTES and i'm glad BYU is horrible WHILE IM GONE! (not) Anywho...

This week has been amazing and there has been so many miracles I can't believe it. This past week we have found 2 Serbian families who we have taught the restoration to. Both of them Are pretty positive and Besides that.. young couples with 1 kid each! Super COOL! LAst sunday an old member who moved back into the ward from Congo brought with him a friend. We were able to teach this friend whose name is David (Elvis Kika is his african name). A couple of days later we asked some Inspired Questions to get him to reflect about his belief in Christ as his Savior, the sprit was strong, we showed him the Restoration DVD, And he knew that it was true. Since it is a very rare thing to find an investigator who accepts the Restoration, we challenged him to Baptism and gave him an option of two weeks. He picked the earlier one! October 9th. This kid who is 15 really has been Humbled in the early years of his life, and was brought here NO DOUBT to recieve the Gospel. After a while without meeting Allan from India we were able to meet with him. Turns out that as we assigned him to read the Book of Mormon, he had a really busy schedule except one day. This one day he used to read HALF of the Book of Mormon. We met with him. He believed it to be the Word of God, and we challenged him to prepare to be baptized on September 9th, he said "Yes, that would be nice!". IT's an amazing thing what the spirit of the Lord can do to change a persons heart. AND IT DOES! If you remember Li Chao, who had grown up Atheist all of his life, as we had knelt down in humble, and sincere prayer together with him, he was able to feel the spirit. And was then and there willing to be baptized. ALSO on September 9th.

We CAN expect mircales! We just need to have that eye of Faith, and GET OUT OF THE LORDS WAY! Being obedient, Constantly Striving to do all you can to accomplish your purpose will TRULY guide you to those who are prepared. Just sitting here and looking back on all of these mircales really Humbles me, The Lord constantly lets me know that I am on HIS errand, and to BE STILL and KNOW that HE IS GOD. That really is a calming scripture. This upcoming week will be super busy with General Conference (Sweden has a goal to be the highest non-member attendance in Europe) and getting all of our investigators to come and "put their money on a prophet" is going to be an amazing task with a Brand new missionary. Conference will not be broadcast in our chapel so we are going to be taking our investigators to a members house. Tonight I will be going to Göteborg and then to STOCKHOLM. I will stay the night there and then the next morning will have a Trainer's meeting (with Sister Page who will also be training in LUND.. don't worry dad we will get a picture). And then we will have a full day of teaching and advertizing General Conference to our investigators. This weekened we are planning to have at least 18 investigators show up to one of the sessions. So we will see how it goes!

You will hear from me more next week on Monday. But just know that I love you all and thanks for everyone who wrote me! I got your emails and really appreciate your Love! I hope the family gets over that Bug going around and hopefully the one year package will be there when I go to stockholm tonight! IT's getting colder now, its changing from green to orange and red. BEAUTIFUL trees. And waking up to dark mornings AGAIN! ('tis the Season!)

Love,

Äldste Webster

P.S. I might be getting a coat, and a camera(maybe). So... yeah.

Mom if you could send me thermals that would be great! (not G's just normal ones)
