Excitement

District Soccer
Hola mi familia,
Estoy bien como siempre, es bien calor en me area pero esta bien porque estoy aqui trabando para mi padre celestial.
(I am as always. It is hot in my area, but it is fine because I am here working for my Heavenly Father)
Yes I did get Grandma's letter.
I took out $100.00 because I want to buy a hammock to sleep in, and they are really nice down here. I sleep fine in the bed but would like a hammock.
This Saturday we are doing an open house at the church. The theme is the Plan of Salvation. We use four rooms for things that will help return to live with God like temples and baptism, and four rooms that are sins, like a bar and a casino. The people who come have 30 minutes to do the things that they want, and as they pass through each thing a missionary marks where they have been. I am going to be a luchador and invite people to watch a movie of wrestling. I am going to wear a mask and cape, and after the 30 minutes will be the judging and separation for the kingdoms of Glory. The celestial will have a white cake with the Salt Lake Temple on it. I am really excited for this. And we have a baptism this week, also a young man from the ward will be performing the ordinance. I am really excited. The work here is tougher, because three years ago a returned missionary killed her son, so people don't really want anything to do with us because of this story.
We have been fixing up our house, the first two weeks we did not have a sink that worked in the bathroom because it was on the floor, so we stuck on the wall where it should be, don't worry I have photos galore.
I get cold at night because I have two fans blowing on me, but I like it because I wake up, turn the fans off and instantly sweating because of the humidity, I think this is the second or third hottest area in the mission.
This first photo is of me and my district, we all bought shirts that are the same and we have our names on the back of them with our favorite number. The second is of me, and the third photo is a wind tunnel I made with a fan and my bed sheet to stay nice and cool in the night.
How are Grandma Linda and Grandpa Steve doing? I would still like their address so I can write them and talk to them about the church.

JACER, way to go my brother from the same mother! Sophomore year and playing for the Varsity team. Be sure that Dad gives ya a big bear hug for me okay, and be sure to give every person out there on the field who is not on your team a really hard time like a Weaver should.
Love ya and be sure to remember your schooling and be an example of your faith.

JUSTINO, Hola presidente Weaver, I am so excited for you and the new experiences that you will be having, be sure to enjoy every minute of it and also, be an example, make Mom and Dad proud while your out there on the field and do your best in school, be the leader I know you are and remember that I love ya.

GOoFY JAX, a new position in football where are you now? Do you get to handle the ball? and how many touchdowns are you going to make this year? I am not going to be there to watch so I want three for me every game and the rest can be for Mom and Dad okay, buddy, Remember you schooling and be sure to be obedient and helpful to Mom and Dad, Love ya goof.

MY BROTHERS, every one of you should be writing in a journal and reading your scriptures, helping Mom and Dad in any and every way you can, and remember your prayers every night and morning, also be an example of your Father in Heaven.

HI Mom and Dad, I hope that everything will continue to work out over there, and I will always have my family in my prayers. I know that this is the Church of God and that Jesus is our Savior and Redeemer, I have felt their love so many times since I have left you that I could never deny my faith, nor would I ever want to. I will always be safe as I am obedient and trust in the Lord.
I love and miss you both very much, but I am where my Lord wants me to be. The time is going quickly and I will see you before we know where the time went.
You are all in my prayers and will be forever,
Con amor
tu hermano, y hijo
