I Know that My Redeemer Lives

Dear Family,
Thanks for the letters, I'm always super excited to read them. That picture of Conner is funny, that missionary is huge. [Conner is our neighbor, the short one, that just left on his mission.  This picture was taken in the Provo MTC. That Elder is 7'2"]

Our investigators name is R...., Elder Johnson and I were teaching his sister for a long time but she wasn't progressing much, so Elder Lopez and I started to teach her brother and he must of felt something because now we have a baptismal date on the 14th.

Fast Sunday went well, usually we fast after lunch on Saturday, but this week we had dinner on Saturday, so we fasted on Sunday, breakfast and lunch.

The weather right now is rainy but mostly sunny all day. My shoes are holding up well. We go to the laundromat almost every P-day. I'm a little sad you sold the motorcycle but that's cool you could fix it.
They didn't have the new movie in the Panama temple when I went, but now I'm really excited. That's cool Jake and Alex want to get married in the Salt Lake Temple, that temple is always so busy is it hard to schedule a wedding there?

I really liked reading the story's of Grandpa and His parents, and I also really liked that talk by Thomas S. Monson that McKay shared at his farewell. McKay is leaving this Wednesday, that is so cool I'm so excited for him.

That's good Hunter doesn't need surgery again, he can use this time to learn more Spanish and study the scriptures even more! They both will be such great missionary's.

I'm been trying to think what to share with you this week, and I'm been thinking a lot about the hymn I Know that My Redeemer Lives

He lives to grant me rich supply.

He lives to guide me with his eye.
He lives to comfort me when faint.
He lives to hear my soul's complaint.
He lives to silence all my fears.
He lives to wipe away my tears.
He lives to calm my troubled heart.
He lives all blessings to impart.
and I thought of this scripture

Revelation 21:4
 4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more adeath, neither bsorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more cpain: for the former things are passed away.
I really like this hymn and scripture, I know God loves each and everyone of us, I know he lives to help us everyday. I'm so grateful for my Savior and Redeemer and I know through Him we can live together forever.

Love,
Elder Weston
