Spiders and Lizards O My

The letters home this week were extremely short due the fact that Weston was trying to send over as many photos in a short amount of time.  He told the boys how much he missed the deer hunt.  He also said his area is quite poor but he is happy and healthy.  Please enjoy the photos from this week.  
These are Geckos/Lizards that he finds in his apartment almost every night.  Aren't they just too cute?




Weston says these spiders are about the size of a softball and he sees them everywhere and everyday


 Ducks of El Salvador ~ 
I am not quite sure what to make of the next photos ~ are they feeding the duck/chick? I do however LOVE the cute platter

This next group of photos is totally Weston being Weston ~ O my how I miss this boy
 Garett got a kick out of this photo ~ he says "Wes taking a selfy in El Salvador"
 These are Weston's two companions, Elder Eldridge and Elder Winter.  He says that they all get along really well.  He has the most in common with Elder Winter (the shorter of the two)



I absolutely LOVE the next couple of photos.  The one of Wes wearing his striped polo made my heart literally do flip flops.  He looks so happy, healthy and just glowing with pride knowing he is serving his Father in Heaven.  Here the elders are enjoying a meal at a member's home after their service project of chopping her lawn.


This is a picture of Weston's area ~ this is what he told Colton about his area:
The culture is so different!! I eat a ton of bread, I eat it with every meal and rice and beans!! I don´t have to cook or do my laundry I pay people to do that for me, so all I have to focus on is the work! That is so nice! The place I am is in the hills, a more urban area!
In Weston's letter home he challenged everyone to watch conference and to really take to heart what is being said.  He asked that we drop him a line of our favorite talk and why.  I accept that challenge and ask that you all do the same.
