Dear Family,
Thanks for your letters, I love reading them each week and they make me feel so much better. Changes are this Wednesday so I'll tell you who my new companion is next week. It sounds like you had fun in Idaho. Dad, I would love to read some of our family history.
Some animals they have in Panama [Ryder wanted to know what kind of animals are in Panama]
-Dogs, Dogs, Dogs
-Cats
-Parrot´s
-I've seen a Monkey
-Lots of Lizards
-Lots of Frogs and Toads (at night you hear so many frogs)
-I saw one snake
-I haven't seen a sloth but I want to.
-Iguanas and more
The food here in Panama. They usually eat rice with every meal. One very common meal here is rice and spaghetti and chicken. They usually don't eat spaghetti with tomato sauce. This week I had a meal of mac and cheese, rice, pork and beans, they just mix everything here, it's different. I've eaten all the food here, I haven't turned down anything, so I'm getting a lot less picky.
Today I cut my hair and it looks great!
Spiritual Thought:
I read the talk by Elder Bruce R. McConkie called "The Purifying Power of Gethsemane". This was the last talk he gave in general conference right before he died. I really love his final testimony
I am one of His witnesses, and in the coming day I shall feel the nail marks in His hands and in His feet and shall wet His feet with my tears.
But I shall not know any better then than I know now that He is God's Almighty Son, that He is our Savior and Redeemer, and that salvation comes in and through His atoning blood and in no other way.
I love his testimony and will strive continually to grow mine. I know also that Jesus Christ lives and he atoned for our sins. And I know through Him we can reach our full potential.
Thanks for your letters and for your prayers. The testimony meeting sounded great
Love Elder Weston
