Thank you for your letters, the ship sounds cool. It's crazy how many people drink, my testimony about the Word of Wisdom has grown a lot, it's really sad seeing adults acting like children when they get drunk. Just the smell of alcohol or beer gets me a little frustrated now, it's funny because before the mission I probably couldn't have recognized the smell. It's also sad that in Panama the people do not get paid much. Minimum wage in the states is way more then a normal job here in Panama, but they waste so much on alcohol.
This week was good, yesterday everybody in Central America had there stake conference and we watched, by satellite, talks by Richard G. Scott (who spoke Spanish), Dallin H. Oaks, and the President of the Young Woman's. It was really good they gave advice for the families. 1. Family and Personal Prayer, 2. Family and Personal Scripture study, 3. Family Home Evenings (with Preparation) and 4. Education
One thing bad, I lost my wallet (I lost it, don't worry it wasn't robbed) so you should probably cancel by card and send me a new one por favor. Everything can be replaced quite easily so don't worry. I will continue looking for it this coming week. Yep that was kinda' frustrating. I just looked at my account, nothing has been taken out.
[Brian] - Eric wrote us an email on Saturday and said he found his wallet and nothing was missing. He accidentally left his wallet in a taxi and the taxi driver returned it to him.
The four districts of Alcalde Diaz are now part of the stake of San Miguelito so I hope our branch can soon become a ward that would be really cool.
We went to the temple on Saturday which was amazing like always. The kid (Michael T....) that we baptized a few weeks ago has already gone and done baptisms for the dead, because the young men in this branch are really awesome and they work really hard.
The beaches here in Panama are really blue but I haven't gone to many of them. By companion has showed me pictures of San Blas (the islands) and they look like perfect paradise islands with crystal clear water.
Love you so much, and have a lot of fun.
Love you all,
Elder Weston
