It's great to get mail, especially when it has a Mexico stamp on it:) On June 12th we received this letter dated May 12th, it goes like this...

with love

We also received a letter from his mission President and Sis. Hansen...
Dear Weaver Family,
We are delighted to report to you that your son, Elder Weaver, has arrived to begin his service in La Mision Mexico Veracruz. He looks great, is healthy, and is very excited to begin his service. We are thrilled to receive him and we will take good care of him. It was our privilege to serve him a meal after he arrived in Veracruz. After the meal and a personal interview with the president, we feel like we are beginning to know him quite well.
Elder Weaver is assigned to the area of the mission called Lerdo. His companion is Elder Gil. Please be assured that these assignments are not made randomly, but are a matter of serious pondering and prayer. Our experience with Elder Gil is that he is an exemplary missionary, one who is committed and dedicated, with an eye single to the work of the Lord.
You should begin to receive weekly email or other correspondence each Monday from Elder Weaver. If his communication becomes erratic, please email the mission office and we will remind him that this is very important. Of course, you will email or write to him weekly, as well. These letters are precious to the missionaries and serve as a source of motivation and peace to them. Emails are a wonderful means of communication, but the joy that a missionary feels when holding a handwritten letter from home is priceless. Don't underestimate the importance of handwritten communication.
We already love your son. We now consider him to be one of ours. We pray for him and are honored to serve with him in La Mision Mexico Veracruz. Thank you for sharing him with us for these two years. May the Lord bless you and keep you and your family.
Con carino,
Hansen's (each signed the letter)

How great it is to look back, and see the growth he has made in the last four weeks,
You are SPECTACULAR, Jordan, love you Mom and Dad
