Dearest family,

Sorry I couldn't write to you guys yesterday. The internet was closed because they had to clean up here. But all is well here. Glad you made it home from your trip to North Carolina. Thats quite the experience. Here on the island, its the greenest place I've ever been to. On Saturday it rained so much! We have permission to use boots here because the roads turned into rivers and it rained and rained and rained. I feel like its pretty tropical here. Oh and yesterday, we went on a hike with a member to the other side of the island where supposedly theres a mayan statue. Its a giant rock with a leapard perched in the back and in the front supposedly a Mayan king. You guys decide if its real but it looks pretty real to me. It was really cool though. Look up "The apocaliptic island" on YouTube and I think it talks a little bit about how in 2012 theres gonna be an interplanet alignment and a light is gonna shine on the island. Some interesting theories.

Well we're working hard here. We're progressing with a family of three. They all said that they felt the Holy Ghost in our last lesson on Sunday and said that they feel like this is the true church. It was a very spiritual lesson. We learned that the mother had last a lot of loved ones and we taught the Plan of Salvation. The lesson was perfect and she opened up. She said the only thing she wanted most was that her daughters could meet their grandpa. And we testified that they will if they follow God's plan. I really feel that they will make some great converts here soon! We're working hard so that the members can also help us work in the missionary work. We're still not in the new chapel yet because they didn't get the materials in the ship that arrived yesterday. So we have to wait about a month more. But the Lord has great plans for the people of the Island Robinson Crusoe. I love it here and I love the people. Thanks a lot for supporting me here on my mission. I love you guys and miss ya heaps. Take care. Con amor,

Elder Webb

oh and to answer your questions, my shoes are fine don't worry. and you can get a refund for the flea reppellant. It appears that their used to me by now.

Dearest family,

Thanks for the letter Dad. It seems that the vinagre has helped quite a bit already. They don't bite me that much anymore so thanks for the idea! I hope you guys are all doing good! Hopefully mom doesnt get taken away by one of them F4 tornados. But mom, if you do see one, get a good picture!

So everything here on the island is pretty much the same. We have the new house rented and ready to have the church meetings. We're just waiting for the new chairs and tables and the pulpit to get here in the next shipment. We only get supplies here in the island once a month. The send a boat over here with everything the the island needs for a little while. So its a bit hard to get stuff over here. The send mail over by airplane but in wintertime there arent very many flights because the weather is pretty bad here. This week it rained a lot and wow if theres something thats more annoying than barking flea-ridden dogs, its the mud haha. But we're enjoying it. We just have to walk slow and not fall. I've fallen in the mud probably about 3 times.

The work is going good. The church is starting to worry more about the little island here and they're helping us out more and more. We found another lady thats even more diehard catholic than the other family. She has promised to pray and ask God if its true. I know that God can change the lives of many if we just have faith. We also made a happy birthday card for some inactive member and visited him yesterday for his birthday and gave him a Liahona. He really liked it and we're starting to gain more confidence with some of the other inactive members. While we were over at his house, we started talking with some of his friends that have an amazing family of 4. We also gave them a Liahona and they started reading it right away. We're going to visit them this week. Its amazing to see how the Lord helps us and guides us to His children.

I love my mission a lot! Its been amazing here on the island. I hope you guys have a great week! I love you guys a lot. Chao,

Dearest family,

It was great hearing from you guys yesterday! Really now that I think about it its kinda weird that that was the last call home on my mission. Dad don't worry, I was just joking when I said you wanted to kick me out of the house haha. Just giving you a hard time. Thanks for the recipes and the homemade flea repellant haha. Hopefully it works. And Clayton, don't worry about it... you just better send me an email every month until I get home.

Mom the address that you can send it to is...

Elder Webb
Vincente Gonzalez S/N
Comuna Juan Fernandez
V Región Valparaíso
Chile

Just send it in a tiny little box so that its not too expensive. Thanks!

But anyways, as you guys heard yesterday, everything is going great here. I really love the island and I'm not looking forward to the day in which I have to leave. The people here are a lot nicer and pacient than a lot of people I've talked with in Santiago. So as I said, we're teaching a family of three thats starting to progress towards a baptism. We're hoping and praying that they can get an answer to their prayers. We have a lesson with them tomorrow evening. So I don't have much else to say. I really love my mission. Thanks for everything... for helping me be out here serving our Heavenly Father. I know that this is His work. I know the Jesus Christ lives and that we are serving in the vineyard with Him. I love my Savior and I want to be tool in His hands. I love you guys and miss you a lot. Cuídense y recuerden que el Señor siempre guardará sus promesas. Les amo, chao,

Dearest Family,

Thanks for the letter mother dear. Great to hear that you guys enjoyed your little midlife crisis vacation haha jk. I'm sure it was a great experience. It appears that the pictures are working so I will send you guys some good ones. So about the mother's day calls, we received a notice that we are allowed to use Skype, but here on the island its not really possible because the internet is too slow. It doesnt matter because you guys will see me in 5 months anyways. Anyways you guys should try calling me here. I have a telephone card but I'm not sure if it'll work. It should be cheap because its a landline anyways. The number you should call is 056-32-2751134. My call will be at 2:30pm chilean time which should be 11:30am Arizona time. Try calling me first! But the mission office said if things dont work out that will figure things out so that we can call you guys. Don't worry mom, you will get your call. =)

Anyways this week was awesome! Yesterday Roberto got baptized at 8:30 in the morning. The sun was just coming up over the ocean and it was perfect. He had an amazing experience and is progressing well. The ward is doing better every week. We're getting closer to having a chapel here. Hopefully that the members show that they will remain active, no matter what happens. We're teaching some Catholics that are starting to read the book of mormon. We had a spiritual lesson yesterday with a lady called Melito. She is really sincere and is praying to have an answer. Pray for her please so that she can receive her answer. Oh and today is my companions birthday (22). Wish him a happy birthday. His email is jairo.bravo@myldsmail.net. Well hopefully everything turns our good. Wow mom, you're going to north carolina?? Dont get blown away by them tornaders. Well I'll talk to you guys on Sunday. Love you all. Chao,
