Dear Family,
Thank you for the letters and pictures. The wedding looked really cool, tell Hunter he looked like a STUD. I bet it was a really cool experience for them.
I got the letters from the Isaac's and from the Sister Jarvies young women class, tell them thank you for me. I have a story for you, I don't know if you will be embarrassed or if you think it is cool, so my companion had to buy shoes, so we went to the shoe store and he bought his shoes and right before we left some of the workers asked me if I would try on some shoes, I tried on the shoes and I was a little confused and they told me I could have them. I'm guessing they looked at how dirty by shoes were and they were like ''why is he not buying new shoes?", so I got new shoes this week. But don't worry my shoes work fine, they just look a little dirty. But the new ones are sweet.
Just so dad knows a bee or a wasp stung me this week, we cut down a tree (of course with a machete) and there was a hive in the tree, so once it had fallen down we tried to move it and I got stung, I thought dad would like to know that.
This week we had the stake conference of La Chorrera, and it was really cool to see Rodrigo and Ana the two baptisms I had, the family of Rodrigo was there also. The members say Rodrigo is planning on
going on a mission. I also saw 2 other people that I taught but got baptized after I left. I was really happy to see them.
This week I cut my own hair and I have gotten compliments because it looks so cool. This week there are changes and I don't know if I'm staying or going but we are waiting for the letters from President that tell all the changes.
I'm grateful that in my mission I have been able to see the blessing of my work. I'm grateful to be here in Chorrera and I'm excited to see if I stay or go either way I will try to be more obedient and try to
always work a little harder.
During the stake conference I had a few thoughts: Do we look to God in our small trials, just as we usually do with are big trials? Usually we don't have life changing trials everyday, but we do have small trials everyday, but if we try to solve all of our problems even the small ones with prayer all the times, we will be more prepared for the larger ones. I know I have been really blessed in my mission, and I pray that I can learn from all the trials God gives me.
I love you guys a bunch,
Thank you
Elder Weston
