April 10, 2012 letter

Hey everyone! 
I dont have much time today, so here are a few short experiences just to show yall how great the lord is and how he really is watching out for all his children: 

#1- We got a referral from the Spanish elders this week for a lady named Gracie. She was in a trailer park that we spend alot of time in because we tracted it about a month ago. We thought it was strange that we hadnt met this lady because they said she seemed super prepared. We went over to see what house it was and turns out that they day that we tracted it, there were a couple people outside that particular trailer that were yelling a little so we decided not to go over there and talk to them or knock it. We asked the Elders if they had tracted alot of it or if they just tracted a few and they said they only knocked a couple doors while they were there but that was one of them. I loved that because it really just goes to show that the day we were there we weren't suppose to find her, that she wasn't prepared yet, or maybe she was and the timing was wrong but that god knew her situation and that she needed to talk to the missionaries, so he sent more to find her. We are going to go and try to see her today, so hopefully things work out well. 

#2- Yesterday we were invited to a BBQ by a man who is the landlord to a house the elders just moved in to. There were like 20 missionaries there and a group of boys that he made burgers for. They boys were the boys choir of Tallahassee and turns out they are a really popular singing group. They are all boys that have been pretty much raised in the ghetto without many opportunities for life. So the choir director started this group in like 96 or something where he sought out these boys, taught them to sing, made sure they were on the right tract in school and stuff and made it so they got opportunities in life to be something and to go somewhere. It has become really popular and hes done things like perform on Operah (I have no idea how to spell her name) and they have sang for the last 4 presidential inaugurations, and last year they went to the Vatican and sang for the pope. They sang for us, and they are INCREDIBLE.. you should Google them, because they were really good. So then one of the senior missionaries decided we better sing for them... haha.... we sang I am a child of god, and armies of helaman, and called to serve...... we werent quite as good as they were. It was really cool though, and now I can say because we sang for them and they sang for the pope that we indirectly sang for the pope :) 

Have a great week! 
Love you all, 
Sister Webb
