She is the grandma of the missionaries in my area,
she feeds us sometimes washes our clothes
and if we don’t know something she is the first person we ask.
(I love how Jordan is kneeling beside her,
what a great lady,
and what a beautiful presence she
must have to cater to all those Elders
and answer all of their questions! :)
I love her dress!
Elder Goodworth and I are of the same generation, (the one behind me)
The other two Elders Ficuir and Perkins both
have five months left in the mission.
Katie is getting baptized on Saturday, why wasn't i told that she was listening to the discussions, i need to know important stuff like this so i can put them in my prayers. i really love you guys but your all killing me with the counting of the months and telling me that you miss me, it makes me think of how long i have till i get to see you again and how much i miss you all.
the photo is of my grandpa, the dad of elder Gil who is my dad in the mission. (This is an answer to the photo in the previous blog, of Jordan and Elder Norcross)
yes i was able to watch all five sessions, before the priesthood session 7 of us went over to Dairy Queen and bought blizzards.
today was a fun day we played kick ball and soccer. kickball was fun because the Mexicans don't know the rules we tried explaining it to them like it was baseball and they finally understood.
The first photo is Sister Leonor. She is the grandma of the missionaries in my area, she feeds us sometimes washes our clothes and if we don’t know something she is the first person we ask.
The second photo is of the four gringos who watched the priesthood session in English. Elder Good worth and I are of the same generation, (the one behind me. The other two Elders Ficuir and Perkins both have five months left in the mission.
The third and final photo is of a house that is being built with plastic bottles, then they put concrete around them for support. this week has been a good week, and this upcoming week is going to be good to because we are working for the lord. our converts are doing good w are know teaching their children who want t be baptized but we need them to get married first, so we have a bit
i love you all and have you in my prayers,
Con amor
Elder Jordan Ross Weaver
Okay, so I didn't get all of the pictures posted in the right order, you will figure it out I am sure.
I must tell you though, his brothers do miss him like mad and I had them email him last night and each one of them reminded him how much they miss him and puctuated it with a lot of !!!!! It makes my heart so happy to know that our sons really do love and miss each other when one of them is gone for a period of time, sure they have their arguements and disagreements but, sometimes these make them stronger and the old saying is true that "Absence makes the heart grow fonder" ! Yes Ross and I miss him too, we just try not to tell him as often in emails....
As for Katie, we did not know she was taking the discussions and found out from Grandpa Steve about two weeks ago that Katie was getting baptized! We are very happy and excited for her! We always try to keep Jordan up on all of the current family and friend news!
For those that stumble across this blog, I appreciate you leaving comments, and your kind words to Jordan, I know that when he gets home and reads the many kind things that have been left he will be so grateful...I am not sure if he ever sees this blog in Minatitlan, I know that he saw it a few times in Lerdo...however, he is aware that I am posting his emails for all to see...so thanks for reading and commenting, supporting and praying, remember the Church is true, have faith and not fear!
Keep up the good work and that keep that smile on your face, Jordan!
Be safe, love you always, Mom
P.S. 81 more days until Christmas phone call! (but who's counting) don't tell Jord:)
