Dear Family,

Happy Independence Day! I think here we're going to have hamburgers for lunch to celebrate haha. It will be the first time that I eat hamburgers since the last 4th of July. So sounds like the weather is just wonderful in AZ. I loved the summer heat, especially while working at Sunsplash. Why don't you go swimming? haha.

This week was a great week for us. We spent a lot of time providing service as we helped prepare our new house for the church meetings this week. It was quite the experience actually. On Wednesday all the stuff came in the boat and we had to wait on the dock for the things to come and then haul them up to the house. On Saturday we had a great branch activity as most of the members came and helped clean up the church and get it ready. We helped put up the giant logo for the church in the front lawn. It was HUGE... at least it seemed big for such a little house haha. It weighed probably about 300 pounds. Everything turned out great and we met together for the first time in the new building. We had a record attendance of 25 and our new church building was stuffed with people. It was a miracle to see so many people here on the island come to church. It was actually a little bit small we found out and so we're hoping that the church takes advantage of a couple of property offers to prepare room for a chapel one day. We're working hard with the Arellanos so that the church attendance keeps growing over 30.

Pedro and Diego are gonna get baptized Saturday and 3:00pm. They are such great kids and its been a miracle to be able to find them and teach them. They helped us with the new church and are best friends with a lot of members new. They said that they are excited to finally be members. What a blessing it has been to be able to teach them the everlasting gospel. They are willing to accept all the committments we give them and said that they know that they want to come to church every sunday. We feel the spirit strongly as we teach them.

The Arellanos are helping a lot and helped with the reactivation of several members. We're happy that everyone is being blessed by the service of the Arellanos.

So a couple of questions. How's your guy's health doing? How's Clayton? Tell him to write me at least once before I get home haha. And I have one request... Mom can you send me a recipe for Snickerdoodle cookies before tomorrow so that I can print it out tomorrow? Thanks mother dear!

Well I hope you guys have a great 4th of July. Go out and see some fireworks in stead of lounge around the house haha. Love you guys a lot. Chao,

Elder Webb
