Hola mi familia. How are you all doing? I am doing good, this morning we went to the beach with a brother from the ward and did some crab fishing. What we did was walk along the beach and look for where the crabs live then we dug them up, we got quite a few and it was really fun except for when they pinched you.
I don't think trying to chat online will work, I looked at when you sent me an e-mail and it was three hours after I had gotten off the computer.
We have 5 baptisms lined up for next week and we are both really excited. It's really difficult not getting frustrated when you don't understand what anyone is saying. Sometimes I just want to quit and come home because I feel like I am not getting anywhere. Then I try to think about how I am helping others and bringing unto Christ. I really miss being able to give you guys hugs and talking to you. This is the hardest thing I have ever done and I know that it's not going to get any easier any time soon.
If you can send me a cable for my camera then I can send you pictures over the e-mail.
I am eating really good and have lost weight, I am not sure how much but my pants are fitting loose around the waist and I had to tighten my belt.
Thursday we were doing door contacts and we found one lady who was really accepting of the message, when we asked her to read a pamphlet for homework she told us that she didn't know how to read. This broke my heart. We met her again to invite her to church on Saturday night but we haven't seen her since. It's funny because some of the members and investigators like trying to talk to me in English, they ask what words in Spanish are in English. I shared by testimony yesterday in sacrament. I wish I could call you and talk to you because I need help. I pray to the Lord for strength everyday but there are still the times where I feel alone. I love you all and pray that all is well.
Your son, and brother, Elder Jordan Ross Weaver
I just got all your questions, not exactly sure when you sent them but here it goes really fast...
The food is good, I love the fish
I baptized in font, I did not confirm
I gave Elder Page a hug from his Mom like I was supposed to
Breakfast is fruit and lunch and dinner are at members houses
It's really warm at night so I have a fan constantly blowing on me.
It's really hot
The apartment is clean
We study until 11 in the morning then we go out and teach or make contacts depending on the day
Love you, thanks for Jeff's address
I have not received any pouch mail yet and I don't know what kind of cord I need for my camera, but I will find out and let you know next week...Love you.
we were in the office when Jordan's e-mail came up so we hurried and got on-line to try and catch him, and give him words of encouragement after his e-mail-it worked, we caught him :) how great to have modern technology...
Are you there?
Jordan, Hang in there hon, and keep your chin up, we love you and you are never alone. Be faithful and be strong. So proud of you, be happy and safe...Love Mom and Dad
R U still there?
Thanks Mom and Dad I love you and am still here, so how's life?
Hey my friend it will get better I promise 'cause it can't get worse..ha, ha, lol Read your patriarchal blessing, we will wait for 20 minutes to see if U respond 12:33 here.
Thanks I really love you guys, I try to read my patriarchal blessing once a day but I feel like I'm not getting much peace or joy from it at times, I sometimes feel like I am just reading a piece of paper. Love you.
Sounds like you are having a pretty bad day, try to say your prayers and think of how much happiness you are bringing those brothers and sisters in Veracruz, it may be a piece of paper but is full of lots of blessings...put a smile on and keep that chin up, what a great life lesson you are learning-things get better with time! We promise! What is the weather like today? Have you had ice cream today?
The weather is really sunny and warm and no I have not had any ice cream today, I will try to find a vendor who sells it, I have to get going but I love you, and will pray for help, talk to you next week. Jordan
Love you and be safe, have a better day, be spectacular! Love and hugs, Mom and Dad
I have to get going love you, miss you a lot, your oldest son, Jordan.
Wow-we knew there would be days like this, but how helpless can we feel, so grateful to know that he is in the Lord's hands and that he has His spirit to be with him, chin up:)
I am sharing these things because someday we will print this for Jordan to keep as a journal, and I want his children to one day be able to read and learn from their father's experiences when he was a young man and having trials and struggles...we can see that he has grown so much already, he has born his testimony in zone conference and in his own church meeting, he needs to give himself credit and be patient with himself, he has only been in Veracruz two weeks! We are so proud of him and excited for him and the experiences he is having, even through all of the tears, mine and his...Love you son!
