SAM WEBB
Sam Webb is another new member of the branch. Not only is she new to the branch, but she is also a recent convert!
Sam was born on March 23, has 1 younger sister, and graduated high school in Owings, MD. She is here at Penn State working on a double major of Secondary Education Mathematics, and Secondary Education Physics.
Sam's favorite colors are blue and yellow; favorite place to live is Ireland; favorite sports are snowboarding, soccer and volleyball and her favorite type of food is Italian. Sam's favorite scripture is D&C 38:30 "I tell you these things because of your prayers; wherefore, atreasure up bwisdom in your bosoms, lest the wickedness of men reveal these things unto you by their wickedness, in a manner which shall speak in your ears with a voice louder than that which shall shake the earth; but if ye are prepared ye shall not fear."
Sam was born in Germany and has lived half her life outside the US! She lived the longest in Wyoming, but she considers Aviano, Italy her home.
Conversion Story/Testimony-
"I have always been searching for my own spirituality, knowing that the Catholic church was not the one for me. My best friend, who is currently attending BYU-I, first introduced me to the gospel in the back of my English class. Every day, we would discuss something gospel related (whether our teacher liked it or not), as every day, I would come back with another question. Her family quickly adopted me as one of the kids, and taught me the gospel at every opportunity, surely noting how much I wanted to know and learn. In February, my best friend gave me a Book of Mormon with her signed testimony, and within the first two chapters, I knew it was true. I waited to be baptized upon my mother's request, but was ready to commit then. On May 29th, during Memorial Day Weekend, I was baptized, and was later confirmed on the 5th of June."

"I have an unshakeable knowledge of the gospel, knowing that it is the only full and complete church here on Earth today. Our Heavenly Father loves us with all of His might, and that His son, Jesus Christ, is our Savior. As we rely on Jesus Christ and use Him as our foundation, we shall never falter. It is not a matter of if, but when the adversary will launch his assault on us; but with Christ as our rock, the mighty winds of Satan will pass by with no harm. As long as we follow the teachings of Christ and obey the commandments of Heavenly Father, we will once again return to their presence in the Celestial Kingdom and live the rest of eternity in peace and happiness. I love the gospel with all of my heart, and can't imagine my life without it now."
If any of you were able to attend fast and testimony meeting yesterday, you had the chance to hear Sam get up and bear her testimony. She always had the Spirit with her and is an amazing addition to our branch! We're glad you're here Sam :)
