Hi my family,
I am doing well and I feel really good, we are moving to a new house on Wednesday and the person who is our neighbor is a gringo and his Spanish is worst then mine and he has lived here more then me.
We have three people to be baptized this week , and they are really excited. The alcoholic we found is still having trouble so we moved his date to next week, and we give him a blessing almost every time we go to visit him.
I don’t eat the soup that often just twice every two weeks, we have cows milk for the cereal and I have bought bread for sandwiches too, we eat a lot of fruit and drink a lot so no worries okay, I am being careful and its cool on how so many things from scouts or just watching your little brothers prepares you for the real world.
This time goes by so quickly, and yet it feels likes it’s been a year since I have seen you guys,
the little kids here love it when I make faces at them and try talking to them in my Spanish they get the biggest kick out of it.
Our bathroom is in the house and we have a working toilet. My new tie is from another Elder with whom I traded ties with, the ties here in Mexico are really ugly, for Christmas can you send me like five ties, really cool ones, and ones that will help people recognize me as a missionary of the Lord.
Jace and Justin, I am really excited for you two, be sure to write about your experiences and your feelings in a journal so that you can remember the easily. Jax have fun being the only kid at home because it may be your only chance.
I have an ensign and read from that so it’s all good in my reading materials, the book by President Hinkley you sent me, I am not doing to read until I have a year in my mission.
Mom and Dad I am really excited for you two about the r moon ride on Antelope Island, don’t scare any buffalo okay. Dad I know that you will do fine in the LOTOJA, and mom and little boys I am sorry that the Tour to France is back on, you probably spend a lot of time outside when dads watching it huh?
I am teaching some of the youth in the branch on how to pray in English and they love it, they help me with Spanish and I help them with English, it works. I am not going to lie I missed being able to light fireworks but, I am having a lot of fun.
Sometimes we get a rainstorm and the thunder sounds like a giant tree exploding over your head, it wakes us up and keeps us awake until it passes but the lightning strikes are really cool.
I wrote Austin a letter and will be sending it through the pouch service to see if that’s faster.
I had five photos for you guys then it closed me out because the session ended, for not using it, I write on Microsoft because it takes awhile for the website to transfer photos
The first photo is of the baptism we had this week. The sister’s name is Imelda, and she is a good lady. She has a problem with her hip and can’t bend backwards so we had her sit on a primary kids chair in the water and dunked her that way, my companion had to hold her knees because they would come out of the water. We dunked her four times. I have a record for the most dunks in my branch:)
Love you all and have you in my prayers,
Your oldest son, and older brother,
Elder Jordan Ross Weaver
Don't know what happened to the other pictures unless they didn't send when his time was up-maybe next week. Sure miss him a lot right now, maybe it's the 4th of July and being shy one boy-that Jordan boy:)
