but I don't know why...
Me eating breakfast one day
A baptism we had last week...
I baptized the kid, had to do it four times
because he would not go under:)

Hola mi familia,
I am glad that you got the letter and so quickly, maybe it depends on the week I send it. This has been a good week, and Mom I am eating fine, I go to bed sick sometimes because of all the food we eat but no worries, the Lord is watching over me.
Today we went to Montopio, it's a beautiful beach and was a lot of fun to get my legs wet. I found a really cool seashell that I am going to try to keep for the next twenty months. I am excited that you are having the missionaries come over and teach some investigators, I hope it works out.
Yesterday a guy drove up to us and asked me in English, if I wanted his kid because he was disobedient. There was a bottle of beer in the car and the Mom was in the back with some more beer. We are going to teach them on Wednesday, to try to help them be a better family and teach them the gospel. We also have one investigator who is an alcoholic, but wants to change, we have him lined up to be baptized next week, his name is Adolfo.
Before I forget, can you send me a handheld umbrella too, and some more of those little lemonade packages, they are really good. Oh and some more Mac and Cheese, please:)
I speak more Spanish then I thought I ever would and it's fun talking to people and being able to understand them. I gave a talk yesterday in church about missionary work and the branch president said that my Spanish is good.
It's interesting in the mornings to look in the mirror and see someone different, I feel the same just lighter because I have lost weight.
Sorry this isn't a lot of info, transferring the pictures took a while, next week will be more photos and more info, I promise.
Love you all and keep you in my prayers
Your older brother and oldest son,
Elder Jordan Ross Weaver
Note from Mom-We received a letter from him with two photos on Saturday, June 27, 2009 the date on the letter was the 8th of June, I will post this one soon, he wrote most of it in Spanish, we are going to get translation and then I'll post it-maybe tomorrow... loved the little look that we got to the apartment at the breakfast table, you can click on photos to make larger, notice someone is counting on the desk, maybe counting days:)
He sounds so happy and so grown up, I love his sense of humor he added to each photo-so Jordan,
so grateful his Spanish is coming and he has had a good week!
Miss you Jordan, it's great to see that big smile!
God bless and keep you ...Mom
Hi Tammy,
ReplyDeleteHe sounds WONDERFUL! He looks happy and healthy too! What a great letter. He really does sound like a "seasoned" missionary. I love the pictures! Hope you are doing well, but letters like this, and pictures just make your day!
Love,
Anne
