Fasting

Dear Family,

Thank you for your letter. It sounds like you guys had a great 4th of July, we didn't do to anything to celebrate the 4th, while we were trying to find people to teach a guy told us ''I'm busy, the game is on TV and I won't be able to focus so come again another day''. This week is the last week of the World Cup, so this Tuesday,Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday will be pretty tough.
 

The mission doesn't you to send food in the packages but you can send it if you want, also I want duck tape . That's cool you all are going to eat at the Roof.  I hope you guys have a great time and Happy Anniversary Grandma and Grandpa.
 

We had a good week, we continue to work hard, it's been rainy and cloudy. Today for P day we found a Peru restaurant and my companion wanted to eat there, it was really good. 

Yesterday, I had a good Fast Sunday. I focused a lot on the talk you sent me last week. In the talk the Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin said, "When we Fast, brothers and sisters, we feel hunger. And for a short time,we literally put ourselves in the position of the hungry and the needy. As we do so, we have greater understanding of the deprivations they might feel."
 

As I fasted I kept on thinking of the people who might receive the blessings and it helped me get through the day. I thought this was interesting that we don't eat foot so another people can receive food, in the same may Jesus suffered the sins of all of us, so we don't have to suffer. Or as we go to the temple and be baptized for someone who couldn't be baptized here on earth. Its all vicarious work.

I hope you guys have a great week


I love you,
Elder Weston
