Dear Family,
Thanks for the letter Dad. I'll send you guys some more pictures. Sorry I haven't taken a picture of our house yet but its a pretty nice place. I sent a picture of the sister that takes care of us. She awesome, her name is hermana Ariadne. And about the lobster, I have no idea how you have to cook it but everyone here is expert because they catch a ton of lobster here on the island. And yes we eat our vegetables... haha dont worry mother. We basically eat some type of fish called vidriola. I don't know what it would be in english... maybe Cod fish. But its really good!
Anyways, not too much has happened in the last 3 days. We're working hard down here and having a great time. We had 20 people come to church this week which is really good compared to what it was before. Last year when there wasn't missionaries here, there were about 6 people on average that attended church. There are two families that have reactivated lately and are doing great! Also our investigator went to church this week and really enjoyed it. He's definitely a blessing and God has prepared him for this time. I know that God prepares everyone individually for the moment when they accept the gospel. We are required to follow the Spirit to find them. We've had some great spiritual experiences with the prople here in Robinson Crusoe. They are really friendly. Its very different than Santiago. None of the houses here have fences or gates or barbed wire or anything. All of the houses in Santiago have to be covered with all sorts of protection but here everyone leaves their doors open. Its a nice change.
Well it seems like Clayton's gonna be getting married next week. I love you guys and wish I could be there but I know I need to be here so don't worry. Tell me how the wedding went and send lots of pictures! I love you guys. Les amo mucho, chao,
Elder Webb
ps. so yesterday I ate rabbit for the first time. It wasn't that bad but I think I prefer chicken haha.

Dearest family,

So I hope you guys got the email from the office saying that we couldn't write on monday. They where changing the location of internet server so we had to wait until today. But don't worry, its not something that happens on a normal basis. But we're doing great here! To answer some of your questions... no we didn't get to see conference. They make the dvds of the conference and the send them over here. I think we'll see conference in about a month but I've heard some things and I'll probably look over the talks now on lds.org. Yes we have a phone here. A cell phone actually because there is one cell tower on the island. There aren't very many cliffs here but there are some tall mountains and I'll send you some pictures from when we climbed them last week and took pictures of the other half of the island. Also I included a foto now of one of the rare species that are here on the island. There is a red hummingbird here that doesnt live anywhere else in the world and there are only about 800 the still exist. You can usually see them all the time. I got a pretty good picture of one.

Anyways sounds like you guys have your hands full over there. I hope you guys enjoys these special moments that you're having right now. Here everything is going great! We have been doing quite a bit of service, helping people repair their roofs, their houses and everything. Its a nice change being able to serve a lot of people. Some people are listen to the lessons already. We have a 17 year old called Roberto that just moved to the island to live with his sister thats already a member and has a family of her own. He's going to get baptized in a little over 2 weeks on April 24th. Also, we're helping reactivate a family because their child wants to get baptized and wants her father to do it. So he has some motive to get back to church and work towards getting sealed in the temple. Its been an incredible experience here. We're working hard and I know the Lord will bless here if we work hard and are obedient. We're seeing a lot of the Lord's help already. The branch is really excited and we working towards getting a new chapel here because right now we don't have one. My companion is great! We get along well and we're learning a lot. The island is really beautiful as you can all see.

I have you guys in my prayers everyday and I hope that everything will turn out well these next few weeks. The easter pagaent should give you guys a lot of added energy. I wish I could see it. I love you guys a lot. If you have any more questions just ask and yes I will answer all your questions mother haha. Les amo, chao

Dear Webb Family,


I am writing from the Chile Santiago North Mission to notify you that everything is alright with your son, Elder Aaron Webb. There have been several problems with Internet communication from the Isla Juan Fernández in the past couple of days, including loss of land-line phone service. We are still in communication with your son and mass communication is expected to be repaired within the next couple of days. Elder Webb has instructions to establish a e-mail communication with your family when the problem is resolved on the island.


If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact us here at the Chile Santiago North Mission Office at 2011379@ldschurch.org or via telephone at (56-2) 624-4337.

Dearest family,

So I made it here to the island! It was pretty amazing the trip here. Too bad I can't send you guys more pictures. I would recommend that you get a gmail account because I could send you more than 12 pictures at a time. But I'll send you guys some good ones. Anyways so we took off on a tiny little 6 passenger plane and flew over santiago and out into the ocean. It took about 3 hours to get here. But the best part was the landing. So the airstrip is on the other side of the island on top of a little clif edge. When we were approaching the airstrip, it looks like its tiny and the plane's not gonna be able to stop before it falls off the other side haha. But it landed and stopped pretty fast because its a tiny plane. Then we had to walk down to the sea, where there were a ton of seals. I got some good pictures of them. We took a little motor boat for about an hour and a half to the other side of the island where the people live. The island is amazing! Its one of the most beautiful places. The members here take care of us well. We've eaten fish for almost every meal but its all fresh and awesome. Yes we have a little house with a bathroom and everything. Its actually a lot nicer than the apartment in Lo Prado. We ate some raw lobster and it was really good! No I haven't gotten sick. The only thing that is annoying are the mosquitos, but we have them under control now. Wow I have a ton to say but not much time. So I found out the all of those people we were teaching got baptized yesterday except for one that found her membership of the church. We had our meeting yesterday in the branch president's home. It was the first time. 16 people showed up to church which is actually a good attendance. We are teaching a family of 3 and we had an amazing lesson yesterday. Everything about the island is amazing. Today we're going to climb the hills and take a lot of pictures.

Anyways, its nice to hear from you guys. I love you guys a ton and miss you a lot. I'll send more pictures next week if you get a gmail account. Anyways, thanks for the information on the island. Chao,

Elder Webb

Dearest Family,

Ok first of all I will answer your questions mom haha. So our flight got delayed because of mantenance. We are leaving tomorrow morning at about 8. So we still worked this week here in Lo Prado 2 and we saw a lot of miracles too but I'll talk about that later. No its not true that flights only come in and out in April and October. I'll probably be there between 3 and 6 months but I won't finish my mission on the island. About taking out money, I'm not sure. The mission office is going to worry about that but I won't have to spend my own money out there. Yes its true that we do a lot of service on the island and I'm sure we'll be helping the people rebuild a bit. But there are more than 6 people that are just waiting to be baptized so we're pretty sure we will see a lot of success out there. Yes there is drinkable water there. About the toilet, who knows haha but it would be more fun if there isn't an indoor toilet. Don't worry about the tsunami. If ones coming they have a siren on the island and we will be notified. I'm not sure how the groceries work but I think the members are going to provide basically everything and the mission helps them out. We will see. We basically are going to eat lobster, crap, shellfish, and lots of fish! Yes there is phone service so don't worry about your mother's day call. Yes you can send packages and mail but I'm not sure how long it will take to get to me and most likely packages will stay in the office until I get back but letters just get to the island.

Ok I think I covered about all of it. So next week I'll send you guys a lot of pictures of the island and everything. I sent you guys a lot of pictures from the families we are teaching and from the ward. This week has been amazing. We have been teaching a ton this week. We have 5 people that are in fase 3, which means that they have everything and are ready to get baptized next week. Elder Coats and Elder Petersen will take care of them this week. They are going to be the only 2 missionaries in the ward now. If you guys could pray for them this week that would be great. Their names are... Evelyn Rodriguez, Lissette Rodriguez, Alejandro Garrido, Cristian Soto, and Daniela Molinas. They are so amazing. Even though I won't be there for their baptism, I'm so grateful to have gotten to know them and taught them. I've learned to love all the people I come to know.

Anyways, thanks for the letter. I hope everything goes well with all the wedding prep. I'll talk to you guys next week! ¡Les amo mucho!
