transferred back to Chorrera / broken water pipe
Dear Family,
So I had transfers and I got sent back to Chorrera but instead of being in ''Barrio 1'' I'm in ''Barrio Guadalupe''. Barrio means ward. It's weird going back to the same city, but it will be great. My new companion is Elder Mejia, he is from Lima, Perú.
Here in Panamá they don't celebrate Easter at all like the states. In the states there are bunnies and eggs and it's a lot of fun. Here it's the Semana Santa (holy week), the only difference between this week and normal weeks is they play Jesus and Bible movies all day on the television. I guess I did see a few more people go to other Churches. I believe here it's more to remember the live of Jesus, and not to remember the resurrection.
I really like the members of this new ward, but it's going to take a few weeks to get this area moving again. When I got here there was only 1 real investigator.
The main water pipe for Chorrera broke so we didn't have running water in our house for three days. I took a shower with the amount of water in a Gatorade bottle, that's impressive right? We had to go to the chapel to get water, because the chapel has a reserve tank with a lot of water.
I really loved that ''Because of Him'' video, I watched it last week and I watched it again, it gave me chills, it's awesome. It's truly amazing what our Savior did for us, and I'm grateful for this time to remember that he lives.
I love you so much,
Elder Weston
