Hello Family,
This week went well, It's a lot different with a native companion. It's really hard to explain everything in Spanish, but it's been going well. I always cook breakfast and lunch, but my companion never eats breakfast.
We have a lot of investigators but none are progressing at this moment. We had two investigators come to church this week, one of them won't except a baptismal date which is hard. I wish we could get more referrals from the ward, we rarely get any. We knock on doors for almost all of our contacts. It would be a lot easier if the ward gave us contacts and would help us teach. We got a new bishop this week so hopefully that will help get our ward excited. The stake president kinda got mad at our our ward saying we need more baptisms and there are a ton of less active members in the church. The stake president said we have 700 members in our ward, I don't know if thats true but only about 100 members go to church each week.
We went to Panama City for immigration, I got to see everybody from by MTC group which was really cool, all of them are doing very well.
We have district meeting every week, and we have zone conference with the president this week on Tuesday. The President comes to our chapel for zone conference. Right know we have about half Elders and half Sisters. But soon we will have more Sisters then Elders.
I have emailed Jason but I haven't emailed Mckay, whats his email address? Conner and Mckay are going to have so much fun in the MTC. Tell them good luck.
This week I read a talk by President Dieter F. Uchtdorf Intitled Continue in Patience, this attripute of patience has been pretty hard for me so I really liked this talk. Here's a quote from the talk.
Patience is not passive resignation, nor is it failing to act because of our fears. Patience means active waiting and enduring. It means staying with something and doing all that we can-- working, hoping, and exercising faith; bearing hardship with fortitude, even when the desires of our hearts are delayed. Patience is not simply enduring; it is enduring well!
Thank you for all of your letters everyweek, and I going to read that talk you sent me this week, because now I can print it off.
Love,
Elder Weston
