How are you all?! We are doing great here in Chile!

This week has been crazy!! Training and the whole process in complicated but really fun! On monday I was in a trio waiting for my new comp to come and Tuesday I went to pick her up.  We were the only girls so I found the only hermana in the big group of Elders and came running to give her a big hug.  She is a sweetheart! Her name is Paolantonio and she came fresh from Argentina. She is freshly turned 19 and has never lived away from home before. Her whole family are members and she comes from a family of 4 girls.  She is as fun as she could be!  We have already had lots of fun laughs together. I think the whole transition is hard for her but she is doing a great job with it! She keeps apologizing for crying and I just laugh and tell her that I cried EVERY DAY at the beginning of my mission. So.... I am totally used to it. In fact, I think she should cry more! It is a great practice!;) 

So the funnest update of this week is J__. She was the miracle for this week. I have not written about her for a while so I will remind you guys who she is. J__ is the menos activo who is living with a man who would not allow her to go to church. Well, he fell and broke his hip. He went through this terrible process in the hospital. The hospitals here are horrible! They do not have enough people to operate, and the building is older than my great grandma! So this poor man was in this hospital for a month waiting for a day when they could operate. To make matters worse, they don´t clean you or feed you in this hospital, it is free ... so the nurses don´t do any of that. So J__, every day, all day, spent her time cleaning, and feeding L__. She did all of the dirty work with patience and love.  He finally noticed how wonderful she is! That woke him up!  Before, he refused to pray, or even look at us but after he broke his hip and the whole process of healing he has become humble and even wants to pray with us. All of this happened a little while ago. And this week, we invited J__ to church.  We told her this is her chance to really show an example and go to church. So in the morning we went to pick her up and she came out with a smile from ear to ear!  She looked radiant. She told us she had a suprise for us and opened the door only to see L__ ready to go, eating breakfast so we could all go to church together!!!!!!! I cannot explain what a miracle it was to see this man softened and kind ... waiting to go to church with the Mormon missionaries!  What a blessing! There is something powerful in realizing that we are not superman! The mission president´s wife read me this really cool thing that she wrote after she had tried to be a "mom" of 275 missionaries. She said that we find our greatest strength in our weakness, because it is our weakness that brings us to Him (Ether 12). It really does not work when we try to do it our way or on our own. He knows better and is stronger, and we can live our whole lives trying to avoid it but there is going to come a day when we 'break a hip' and we are going to come to find that we need Him! 

B__ continue to progess. A__ finally listened to a lesson this last week. They are a great family. Everyone is really excited about them. C__ is hopefully going to get the priesthood this next week and we are going to invite M__ to get baptized (again). My comp left an appointment with them and could not stop talkiing about them. I forget how blessed I am until someone from the outside comes in and sees how fun this family is. 

P__ is adorable!  She continues to be.  We had a really awesome FHE last night. V__ planned it and she had like 7 different scriptures, a Liahona issue, and two videos. I was so proud! She is learning alot. We were talking about when they are going to get married and I might be here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That made me super excited!!! I might actually be here for their baptisms. That would be too good to be true and totally worth this much time in Apoquindo!!  I am always a bully to E__ and tell him that he has to ask P__ on his knee if she will marry him, and this time when I said it he looked at her and then looked at me and gave me a quick wink.  I translate that as 'I will!!!'  I hope that is what it means!  He has been so much better. He has not been as depressed and he has been so much better to his sweet almost wife! On the way home from the church the twins sat on thier laps and sang, I am a child of God. It was the cutest thing I have evers seen! They are good parents! They get better everyday! I love them so much! 

M__ C__ continues to progess. She is this menos activo that is so good but she just refuses to do something on her own. It is so frustrating because she knows it is true and wants it for her family but I guess not enough to investigate it herself.  We talked to her daughter on Saturday.  She has become one of those people who are so politically correct that it has gone too far. She told me that she does not find it bad at all to teach her son to drink beer because she knows when to stop and it is never bad to drink a couple of beers. I am so grateful that i was never ever taught to just try a couple! I told her 'and what if your son does not know when to stop and he destroys his family because he becomes an alcoholic!?'  She stopped to think.  It was a cool moment because I realized how much this gospel works! I am so grateful that I have never even tried that stuff! I am so grateful that neither has the rest of my family and there are NO barriers that stop us from just enjoying each other!  God's plan is so good!

Thank you mom (she added the "bold", not me) for sending me what she learned from PMG!!! I am waiting for the rest of you people. This week I did a web. I made a web between all of the connections of all of the attributes of Christ.  It is hard to explain my conclusion but it was really interesting to dissect all of the atributes and what are the requirements, and blessing of each attribute. This week I am going to do a study of the three words, Desire, works and fruits if you want to join me. ;)

I love you all so much! I hope you have a great week!!!  I am excited to see what you learned from PMG this week! Come prepared so that we don't waste time!!  I love you all so much!  I cannot even express how much I love talking to all of you! You all just fill me up! Have a great week!

Love

We are so blessed ... so thank God by sending a referral to your missionaries this week!!

I just want to make a shout out to mom's cute packages!  She is adorable!  I love that woman! I am pretty sure my whole ward loves her too. The different kinds of silly puddy that she keeps sending provides for hours of entertainment for all of sacrament meeting and not just for the little kids;) The posicle stick game has been a classic here! I have now played it with my roommates, the twins, and V__ and J____. I made a game especially for her family. The twins were actuallly pretty good at it! They run around like crazy all of the time but it is interesting how much they get out of the lessons. When we played it with my companion, and the girls in my pension we got some pretty good quotes. It is pretty fun to play in Spanish! And then because my companion just left, we were at the temple for a while and so me and all of the small children of the big group of people played with bubbles and popsicle sticks! I wish I had a picture it was pretty classic! 

So my companion went home this week.  Can I tell you how hard that makes being a missionary? We did not do nearly as much work as I like to do.  But it was a good week anyway.  I learned so much from her and about her. She had a lot to teach me with how good she was to me and other people.  I don´t know if I am ready to give her up yet but I guess there really is not an option now.  I'm sending a lot of prayers home with her because she has a lot to face when she gets there.  I will miss her.  And now I am getting a new companion.  There are so many mixed emotions this week. 

So to make things even crazier, I found out I am going to be a trainer! There are nine elders coming in and one Hermana.  It was pretty funny today in the meeting with all of the trainers, and President kept saying, and so elders, ... and Hermana Webb ... It was pretty funny!  It is crazy because before I had this companion that has experienced it all.  She is tired and full of wisdom.  And now I know nothing about my new companion except that she is from Argentina, she is very new and she is fresh.  She is full of energy and will teach me how to work harder.  It is lots of conflicting feelings, but it is good. 

P___ is as cute as she can be.  She really taught me this week.  I love what she does because she finds all of these awesome scriptures that are classics in the Book of Mormon that we read all of the time that have the  interpretations 'fixed'.  She takes these scriptures and turns them around and learns more from them and helps me learn more from them too.  She read the sacrament prayer and said that it was like if we eat the bread of Christ which could be any of his teachings, he will give us comfort. She took that as a scripture that is there to help us find peace.  Then she read Alma 32 about the seed and compared it to her kids, and how if we care for the seed or hijos, they can grow and become strong and good.  It was really cool!  She helps me see things differently.  She told me that she was not going to my goodbye thing at the temple when it is time for me to go, because she said that it is going to be too hard.  We just held each other and cried. She makes me so happy!  I am getting more and more corny as time goes on! 

C__ is doing really well.  I am so proud of him because he wants to change and has shown God that he wants to and is willing to do it!  I love that this gospel brings the good news of change!  What an awesome message we have that He is mighty to save!  He really is!  He continues to save me and all of these people here that we have the privilege to teach.  It was been fun for me to share about my mom and dad when people are looking for advice about their family.  I am really grateful for loving parents who looked for the best for us. 

We went to G___ (She is the new reference we had like two weeks ago) house again.  She is doing well.  We had a good converstion about why she belives in God, even after all of the depression she has experienced.  She told us that it was thanks to her mom that she still believes.  So the family's win again!!  It is amazing to me how much we need our families to believe.  It just makes us better!  We are going to try to teach her mom this week too. They are really good Christians. 

C___ is my favorite ever! She is the menos activa who lives in Yolanda (the only scary part of my sector.)  She lives there and takes care of her grandkids.  She is probably one of the most saint-like people that I have ever met.  She has suffered so much.  I am sure I have written about her before, but she is the one who lost her son because someone killed him and then lost her husband a year later to depression for what happened with their son.  This week she told us that she is going to do their work in the temple (or have someone do their work) I am so happy for her!  When she said it, the spirit filled the room!  I know Lauren was there and at least one of C__ family was there!  God is so good!  I am so glad that Lauren knows someone that C__ knows!  What a blessing!  I love that woman!  I also really love my little sister!  Someone is really excited to get baptized.  I got up from the table and said I am really sorry Hermana, but I just have to hug you!  It was a really fun experience. I am so corny, but I am such a happy corny that I am okay with it! 

I think that is it!  I really love you all so much!  I hope you all know how much!  It grows everyday! I cried a lot today writing you guys. You all just make me so happy!  God is good to us!  We are blessed!  And we should thank Him for it!  So send a reference to your missionaries this week;) 

Don't forget to study Preach My Gospel with me ... chapter 6 and send me your thoughts.  I made two graphs with three columns each.  The first column was the Christ-like attribute, the second was how that makes me a better student/teacher, and the third was examples of how Christ showed that in his life .... and then I tried to find scriptures for each one or I used some examples from my life.  It was a really cool way to look at it.  (Thanks mom for studying with me this week I learned a lot from you!!!  But I want to hear from the rest of you!) 

Anyway I love you all so much! I hope you have a great week!

I did it all for my family!

Carlie's very special baptism -- by her mission President Wright April 13, 2014

How are you all this week!? I had a lot of fun reading all of your letters. It is fun because it seems like things are going really well. 

As for Chile news, they are kind of having problems.  Not here! So mom don´t worry, but poor Chile does not have very firm ground. It continues to tremble here.  Not very much but they are more common than before and there continues to be little earthquakes in the north. The big bummer this week was the fires. Like two hours north of me there has been this terrible fire that has left 11 dead and hundreds homeless.  It is really sad to watch.  So send some prayers down here.  No worries for us - we are safe here - but Chile is suffering a little bit. 

As for other exciting news, C__ got baptized!!! I am so happy! It was an awesome day! C__  got there late with his wife, but they got there.  He brought his friends who are members to watch the baptism.  He was so excited, and nervous.  I realy love that man!  He actually makes me think of dad a lot. During Sunday school we talked about the priesthood and I got to testify of daddy- daughter blessings and it just made me really excited that in a couple of weeks C__ can do that if he wants to. It made me think of how blessed I was to have a dad who helped me receive revelation through priesthood blessings. What a great plan families are! It was pretty exciting! During Relief Society right before the baptism, the ward mission leader (who is super pesado) called us out of the room to tell us that president (who was going to baptize him) had totally forgotten and was not going to come. After I peed my pants a little bit with stress, he told me that it was a joke, and before I had time to kick him in the shins, he threw his hands up in the air and said "yo no fui yo no fyi!" That is like saying 'it was not me!'  'It was all your mission presidents idea and he wanted me to specficially see how you responded.'  So we went down stairs to find my evil mission president.  He was lauging his face off and came to greet me (I am sure you all know this but that is super important here! You have to greet everyone with a kiss or if you are a missionary with a hand shake.) So he went to greet me and I refused. That is like a big insult in Chiliean language, so I felt content;) Don´t worry after I got over "Weeber" (the ten year old boy that 'lives' inside her that loves pranks) I shook his hand. 

The baptism went great! The ward has had problems with the water heater and so for the last month we have been asking at the meetings to please make sure the water is hot. It was pretty funny because when they opened the doors of the font, this big cloud of steam came out.  Poor guy got baptized in very hot water but at least it was not cold!  After I got to play my violin and that was really fun.  I played a medley thing that I made up.  After Carlos bore this really sweet testimony about his conversion. He talked about his family and told us that he did it all for them.  M__ sat on the front row bawling her eyes out.  She was really happy.  He talked about how he always looked at his member friends who had this happy marriage, and even though he knew that his marriage was good he knew that there was something missing. Then the missionaries came to his house. I could not help but cry as I listen to him testify of the hope this gospel brought to their family.  It made me happy to think of the impresion I got in their house the first night when God told me that He wanted me to testify of eternal families.  And all of the things I have learned since about etrernal families in their house! What a great plan!  It was a great part of the week! 

Other than that it was a great week! We are working really hard even thought this is the final stretch of my comps mission.  We are finding menos activos that have been hiding for years.  We found this cute old man that got baptized like 5 years ago but stopped going because his wife died. He was so cute because he is obviously just bummed and wants to be with his cute wife.  He lives with his son and daughter in law, and grand child. When he talked about his cute wife the entire room filled with his spirit.  It was the cutest thing I have ever seen. He is completely in love with his late wife.  He could have talked about her for hours.  He suddenly asked us what our purpose in his house was, and after my comp answered that it was to help him go to church I told him, "Hermano, we are here to help your seal yourself with your spouse forever!" It was really sweet.  He got a big smile on his face, and said "it looks good to me!"

We had an awesome reference this week too.  It is this girl that suffers from depression. She is a sweet heart and really needs help. It looks like she has cancer which obviously makes the depression worse which could make the cancer worse. It is not a very fun process. It felt good to testify to her of Christ's atonement and the love of God. It works. I have seen it in my own life and many others. We only got to see her once so we will see how it continues with her. 

Everything else is going great! We are working a lot on finding new investigators. It is a process so I don´t really have any new updates. I am happy! Life is good! It is hard but there is so much good!  We had a lot of people this week who were focused on the bad. I learned that there is plenty of bad to focus on. It is not very hard to find heart ache and pain. But I am also learning that finding the good is not that hard either. God lives! Eternal families are possible! We just have to fight for them which makes sense! God has this awesome plan that provides a way to mess up but get back on the path. It is like what dad said. In Lehi´s dream he saw the tree and focused on the tree for the first half of the chapter. The other stuff is important but let´s be honest the center is the tree!  If we just focus on the love of God the building is not tempting the dark clouds become less confusing and the big desert becomes less overwhelming!  I know God lives!  I know He loves us! I know that if we just focus on that love we will end up walking (or as mom says: running) with our families enjoying the tree! thanks for enjoying the tree (love of God) with me!  I really am serious about studying Preach My Gospel together!  Elder Ballard was pretty specific about it.  Where are we starting?  I was thinking that this week it would be cool to study the attributes of Christ!  Does anyone want to do it with me?  It is chapter 6 (I think) I love you all!!! Thanks for everything!

What a beautiful, perfect, merciful plan!!

How are you all!? Life is awesome here!

First I had to laugh about the earthquake business.  Can I just say that I love Edgardo and Paola?  They were so worried about you people.  It was adorable!  Anyway, we definitely did not feel anything.  Also, Chile is crazy ---they had like three earthquakes above 7.5 this last week and they are all back to normal.  Obviously it was on the news and everything the destruction that I was sure was coming did not come.  They are a good example of being prepared!  And it worked!  We did get some earthquakes here in the past few days.  Nothing big.  They are super used to earthquakes here in Chile but there was a pretty long one this weekend here in Santiago.  I usually don´t get too scared during the earthquakes because they are so small, but there was one that just kept going and going.  That is how everyone says the big ones start.  I was sitting on my companions bed with two of my other roommates and we felt it shake ... at first we ignored it and kept talking but then it got stronger and longer until all of us looked at each other and jumped off the top bunk all at the same time to open the door. (What you are supposed to do in an earthquake.)  Anyway it ended and it was very anticlimactic. So there is definitely no updates of earthquakes here.  So, no worries.  'It is not Santiago´s turn' as they say here.  It was their turn up north -- they were expecting it. 

General Conference was AWESOME!  I love the prophets!  They really are prophets of God!  He really does direct this church!  What a beautiful outlook we have through this church.  It is real!  His plan is real!  What a blessing it is to be a part of it!  I loved all of the talks!  It is pretty cool because God had all of the answers right there! People´s lives are so complicated but God is not!  It all just comes down to a big family and a Father who is in Heaven who loves us so much that He sent His son to help us not only live with Him some day but also become like Him.  With all of the joy of our own personal family and the hope of all of this FOREVER!!!  I loved the part when one of them said that there is a reason we don´t like endings, ... it is because we are made of eternal stuff, and eternal stuff is not meant to end.  I am so glad that not only do we have the chance to be together forever, but that we were made specifically to be together forever!  No wonder I am so happy when I am with you people.  I get you forever. 

P__ and E__ continue to be the coolest people in the world. They went to conference and after we had a NDH (FHE) in their house about conference.  They are the cutest people ever!  The spirit was so strong.  We talked about what we learned.  Can I tell you how fun it is to hear these people you love talk about messages that they liked that I know will help them be better people and a closer family?  Thank you general Conference!  There are times when I just sit back and think, "Wow! God really knows what He is doing!" Putting me here with that family really has helped me. Whether I am wrestling with P and R, singing with J, or giggling about some boy with V.... I love that house!! What a blessing! 

C and M are doing super well! The punks and did not go to general conference but that is why it is on line.  We had quite the miracle this last week.  When we went to the charla con presidente, I don´t know if you guys remember but right after president went straight for C, and C lost no time in inviting him to his house.  We went to his house last Monday night and a miracle happened.  We had this really sweet lesson on how the gospel changes couples lives too, and suddently everyone was crying.  At the end of the lesson C__ looked at President and said 'I know this may sound wierd but I feel like I knew you before'. Then the tears really started when president said the same thing.  It was really cool!  They have very similar sad stories - the two of them - and it was really sweet!  They invited them to once (it is like a snack after dinner) but they did not invite us! that is okay I am over it.  President is going to baptize him and they practiced his baptism while they were there.  It was a really sweet moment because the way we found them was a tender mercy for me (I don´t know if you remember the story of how I was really bummed that day and we went to "that last house" and we found the B__ family and I got to testify of eternal families and it was just what I needed because I was super bummed because I was really missing Lauren) and then it was also a tender mercy for President because it was a miracle how they both felt that they had known each other and how they both have very similar stories.  President and I had a really sweet conversation about how good God is.  And, how great it is to be a part of His work.  I have thought a lot about how God blessed three different people in different parts of their "spiritual journey" with different goals and dreams, but we all came out appreciating our families and loving God more!  It is a good deal! 

We found a new investigator this week. She lives in the rich part of Santiago so we were excited.  She is really sick and almost cannot leave her house because she does not have spit.  What!?  Have you ever thought about how awful it would be to not have spit?  I had not before that visit, but she really suffers.  She can´t really eat, drink, or talk.  It is a bummer!  It is interesting how the mission helps reminds me how very blessed I am, even for little things like spit.... 

I know I say this in every letter but I really really love you guys.  I know this gospel works.  We spent a lot of time with Y__ this week and talked a lot about men.  She has had a lot of men that have tried to do the whole one night stand with her.  It is fun to listen to her tell the stories of how she has avoided them all.  After all of her stories I always end horrified that she has had such terrible luck with men.  My comp and her always laugh at me because they say that all men are like that.  It was a really sweet experience on Saturday during the womens session when it showed all of the covenants we make and how our family comes in the covenant path.  I leaned over and said "look, Y__! That is not only what I was taught I can have some day, but that is what I was taught that I am promised to have one day!!"  We were both crying when she said 'wow... that is what I want!' How cool is it that if we keep our temple covenants, it can all be ours!!!!  That is what we are promised!  We can have an eternal family whether it be in this life or the next!  God is good!  He knows what will make us most happy.  He knew that that would be between a man and a wife who love each other very much who grow and progress as a team, creating and raising children who are theirs FOREVER!  And then whats more, giving us a Savior who took upon Him our pains and sins so that when we mess up, we don´t feel like we are enough, or it hurts, we NEVER have to be alone. What a beautiful, perfect, merciful plan! I love you all so much!  Thank you for everything!!

How are you all!? I am doing great! Life is amazing here! We had a really fun week.

I have a hard time remembering things in order, so I am just going to update you on people

GF: They are as cute as can be as usual. We love being in their house. Their kids are still crazy but we have a lot of fun in sacrament meeting with all of the fun toys mom has sent me. I am pretty sure everyone in the church played with silly putty for at least a second on Sunday;). The girls started going to seminary and they love it! It is going really well. P_and E_ are so close to getting married! I am so excited to finally see those two get baptized! They are good people!  E_ continues to get better. He continues to pray with his family. At first it was just alone, then it was just with his twins, then it was with his twins and his wife and then it was with his twins, his wife, and J_. We are slowly progressing and I am okay with that! He really loves his family and would do anything for them. When I asked him this week if I thought he has changed he told me that he does think he has changed, and when I asked him why he said so I could keep my family!! It was very sweet! 

B__: They are doing so great!!!!! The last week was kind of a bummer because we did not even get to see them but this week was a lot better. We stopped by their house to see when we could go and C_ was outside. he came right up to us and told us to come back a little latter that day so that he could go get his wife.  It was sweet because when we went back later that night, his wife was like 'ah I am so sorry I just got home and I am so tired could it be another night?'. Just as she finished explaining all that she had to do C_ came out and said 'why are you not coming in!?'  I laughed and said it looks like tonight is not a good night. When his wife explained again why it was not a good night he slumped his shoulders and put this frown on his face. So we planned a family night in the house of the bishop for that Friday. 

It went AWESOME! It was a bummer because the wife of the bishop and his kids could not go but we had an awesome lesson about prayer with the bishop and their Nana.  It went really well! We read the story of Enos and they loved it!  They made connections with their lives, and I think we finally motivated them to pray about this message. 

Then to make it even better, Sunday they went to church. Then after we invited them to a fireside thing with president. President bore his testimony on how he first knew that the church is true and it was beautiful!  We were all crying!  The spirit was really strong and he said things that I know touched their hearts because I know them.;)  It was perfect!  After President went right to them to say hi. And C_ did not lose any time inviting them to their house. We are going there later tonight with president and his wife! I am happy!!!! C_ is ready to get baptized on the 13 and I don´t think M_ will take long to follow. They used to be more separate, and they fought more, but now, they are more united, and don´t fight nearly as much. It is really beautiful! I love this gospel! It is so cool because we promise things to people like a closer family and then if people really follow our counsel they see it happen and so do we! It is a blessing to be a part of it. 

I__: I really love this man. We went to see him on Friday and to be perfectly honest I am absolutely amazed! He testifies with perfect confidence. He is such a good man. He continues to tell the story of when he saw his daughter. I was thinking about it that day; I looked into his sightless eyes and was amazed again because he testified of seeing her with a conviction as if he was more sure of seeing his daughter than he was sure that we were there. He knows it and testifies of it with power. My favorite part of the whole visit was when I just said "Le quierimos hermano gracias por todo!" And he did not even let me finish my phrase before he said "Oh quieria Hermanita les queiro tambien!" Then it was even more beautiful when he corrected himself and said, "No, Les amo!" It hit me. I was floored, because when he said it I felt it.. It was very full of corney, carlie over-reacting "estoy feliez!!" emotions. I got to thinking about the examples in my life that are pure love!  The people who just love the people who purely give and don´t expect in return. The people who just love and do it so well that les queirro is not enough.  And when they say les amo the privileged people who they love feel it and see the difference. That kind of love is the kind of love that makes us change. That is the kind of love that has saved us because that kind of love ONLY comes from our savior Jesus Christ. (moroni 7) I was really touched by him. The bad news is he is not looking like there is a lot of hope in what he has. He is very sick. We finished our visit with a goodbye that was felt like it was going to be a long time before we see him again. Keep him in your prayers. It was a bummer to see him go. 

E_ She is sickly. It was a pretty big bummer to visit her this last week. She is a good person but she is really tired of all of this time in the hospital and in pain. She is so funny because she keeps telling us that she does not believe in God anymore but that she has a lot of faith. I don´t actually know what that means, but we are trying to help her. She needs extra prayers this week. 

I think that is about all of the updates. We are working really hard in finding menos activos and contacting everyone and their dog! It was a week with a lot of learning too. My companion and I are both very passionate people.  I can definitely say that I love her a lot, and that I am definitely learning more than I ever have before! God is good to me.  He has sent us together to learn.  Just so you know you guys were all right, it has been an adventure but she will be my friend forever and I will be forever grateful that God was kind enough to give me her as my companion. 

This week we went up the mountains with president! It was so fun!!!!!!  President and I got up the hill first and just as I was reaching the top, president looked over and yelled "Hermana Webb there is an eagle coming right at you!"  I looked up and he was right there was an eagle above my head close enough to touch.  He did not know I was there and thankfully he was more afraid than I was. When I got to the top we found the dead animal and just watched the Condors and Eagles circle around it. They got scared pretty fast and left once they saw that we were there but they hung around waiting. After we went up to this really beautiful lake! It was pretty far away but totally worth it!  We had a lot of fun! 

I think that is it! I love you all so much! God is pushing His work forward. The general authorities continue telling us that we have a lot of work to do!  Members really can´t just sit back and say oh bummer that I don´t know anyone that would like to listen to this message ... God wants us to look!  I am so proud of Taylor and his dinner with his friend. Keep it up! I love you all so much have a great week! 

Love, Hermana Webb
