Dear Family,
Yes, I got transferred. I am now in Ciudad Bolivar in Alcalde
Diaz.
This area is closer to the city and is on the east side of the canal.
It's weird, it is closer to the city but I think it's prettier than
Chorrera. This was Elder Kipp's old area, he got transferred out of
the area, and I was transferred in. It's a branch. This area has a
more hills than my first area, but it's not as big.
The ward about 70 members, but there were only about 45 this Sunday
because there are a lot of holidays this week. My companion is Elder
Quimiz. He is from Ecuador and this is his last change, he's going home
next
month. But he's working really hard and I've learned a lot from
him already. He's very kind and is a great example.
The members in this area feed us lunch and dinner everyday except
for Mondays. Also a member washes our clothes for free. The house is
smaller then my other one but it's nicer. The only problem is there is
no hot water so the showers are cold, I'll need to get used to that.
That's so exciting Autumn got baptized, that's great. I really
liked the pictures dad sent of the baptism, everybody looks like
there doing well. Thanks for the analogy, it's always good to use
something simple to help teach, even when teaching adults.
I still haven't spoken in Sacrament meeting, but I did introduce
myself on Sunday. I think in this ward the missionaries always give a
small thought about missionary work, or something they learned that
week. They might do it every Sunday, I don't know?
Two week's from Friday, the wedding is coming up fast.
I'm really excited to be working in this new area, and the members
seem really helpful here. I still feel like I should be better at a
Spanish but little by little it's improving. Right now we have about 1
fecha (baptismal date) but there not progressing, so we will continue
to work with them.
I know in this area we get to go to the temple a lot, like my old area, I'm really excited about that.
Thank you for your letters.
Love,
Elder Weston
