Changes...

Hello my family,
How is everyone doing? I am doing good as always. I am being changed to Coatzacoalcos, and I don't remember the name of my new comp, but I am going to be senor comp. I also was finally able to send the package, it should be there by Saturday at the latest. Mom I am going to ask you to hold off with the package a little longer because I don't need anything.
The Ogden Temple looks cool with the changes, and so do I because I got my haircut today, and tomorrow I take a five hour bus ride with two other Elders to our new assignment.
Jace get out there and start dating before Mom and Dad get on your case about your social life like they did with me. But remember to be smart and treat your dates like they are daughters of God and nothing will go wrong.
Justin, I haven't heard much from you but I know that you are still being a good kid and example to your friends like our Father in Heaven wants you to be.
Jax, you little goofball, how is life? Do Jace and Justin treat you better or are they still giving you a hard time? Be good and help Mom and Dad
I love you three a lot and miss you a lot too. It's hard not having your brothers to talk to and hang out with. Be good and do your best in school and at home, remember your prayers and help one another.
Mom and Dad, I am still safe, and yes skinny, I will be getting a lot skinnier with my new area, because it's one of the hottest. I love you both and always have you in my prayers, my Spanish is still coming along with patience and practice.
Love you all and sorry because there aren't any pictures the computer won't read my card...

Gracias a su hijo!

Hermana Weaver,
Just wanted to drop you a little note and let you know how much I love and appreciate your son. He is so kind and sweet to his companion, Elder Valenzuela and Elder Hernandez tambien. He truly has the attribute of charity towards his companions. I am so grateful that you raised him in a loving home that is obviously full of love and kindess. He is genuinely caring and loving which is unusual in a man of his age.
Good job, Mom & Dad!
Con amor,
Hna Hansen

This note came last night about 8:15 p.m. I had been missing Jordan more than usual and was very grateful for the note. We wish that we could take credit for Jordan being the way he is but his body came to our family with this amazing spirit and we are so blessed to have him in our lives.

I know my Father lives...

and loves me too!Aren't Heavenly Father's creations amazing?

These are more photos Jordan sent,

as a family we always have noticed the sunsets and

Jordan always has pointed out the amazing flowers to me,

wish we could grow them here:)

Wow, I am not in Utah anymore...

Hello my family,
This week has been interesting because it's Carnival, yesterday and Saturday we had to be in the house at 6:00 because of all the sinning people do here. Saturday I saw two girls in Las Vegas dancing clothing and then yesterday a truck full of them drove by whistling and making kissy faces at us.
Wow, I am not in Utah any more...
But we had two baptisms, the first was of Daniella, which was two weeks ago but I forgot to send the picture, and then we had a baptism on Saturday, which went well.

I am not sure where I am going to end up with the mission changes, but I know that the Lord will put me where he needs me. I did get the email and was able to take out the money I needed but have to wait until next Monday to sent the package, sorry.

We had a baptism date for this week, but her husband told her that if she gets baptized that he will kick her and the son and daughter out of the house, he is from a different religion and does not want his wife to be Mormon.

Jace, Justin and Jax, Hi guys, how are you all doing? I am doing good, and still trying to be a good older brother to you guys, are you all practicing the piano with Mom, and also working on your Spanish? How are you guys doing reading your Books of Mormon? Love you all, and hope that you are enjoying life.

Mom and Dad as you always know I am fine, still working to find the Lord's chosen like is my calling, I look forward to pictures of everyone and also my room in progress:)
Well I am going to try to send more pictures

Love ya all,

Elder Weaver

Mission changes...

The latest and greatest from the Church News...
The creation of the Mexico Villahermose Mission will be achieved from a division of Mexico Tampico, Tuxtla Guitierrez Mission and (Jordan's mission) Mexico Veracruz Mission. The changes will take place effective July 1, 2010.
We are not sure where Jordan will be, it is very exciting news though,
"Zion is growing"...
Keep up the great work all of you stripling warriors!


I am trying to post a map of the new missions and their areas...

Notice the fixed tooth...

Looks pretty good...

Fort and Prison...

Hello my family,
I am doing well as always and had a great day visiting an old fort and torture prison. The first picture is of me in the prison, and my comp is treating me well, you can all relax.
It was weird yesterday for me to not being able to write to you guys yesterday. Yesterday we worked, that's all. And I have found a way to send a package but I will send it next week. I still don't need anything so wait on the package I asked for.
And please stop telling me how much time I have left, it's one of the biggest ways that missionaries die because their families are counting the days. (we just mentioned that he is done with 11 months, and almost on the other side of the hill :( )
Elder Valenzuela says Hi,
There are going to be changes in our boundaries in July, I just don't know what changes exactly.
Love you all and don't worry I am sending another with more photos in five minutes.
Elder Weaver
The first is of me on a canon, the second is of me and the sea.

What a handsome young man:) ... must look like his Dad!

These last two pictures is of coral, which the whole fort is made of,

and of me in a torture chamber where the stalagmites did the Chinese water torture on your head.

Love you all, talk to you next week.

We have heard rumors about mission boundary changes...

Zion is growing!

Tooth

chipped tooth before it was fixed

Hello my family,

How is everyone doing? I am doing well so no worries, okay. My week was good, we have put two baptism dates, for the 20th of this month, their names are Maria Del Carmen, and Carmen Garcia.

I have two photos of my tooth for you, and the third one is of a flower here in Veracruz that looks a lot like an exploding firework, really cool, huh? (the flower picture didn't make it)
We baptized Saturday but she didn't go to chruch yesterday to get confirmed so we have to wait until the next week to confirm her. Other than that I am doing good, next week I will write you guys on Tuesday because as a zone we are going to visit an abandoned prison, which is only open on Tuesdays, so Monday I will be working.

Here is the list of people who have sent me letters, the Prices, Pedersons, Thurells, Eccles, Jacobs, Ivies, and Grandpa Rhett, I only write to you guys and President Hansen. I am still looking into sending a package home.

I think it's funny when members always tell me that I am really skinny, then I just laugh because I am happy how I look and feel.

We work from 10:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. so we have time to find lots of people and teach lots of people too in one week, I am standing tall like I am supposed to but it's tough when your comp can't walk as fast as you.

Well, I love you all and hope that you enjoy the pictures, talk to you Tuesday.

Note from Mom...so glad the chip in his tooth is so little, when he was a soph in High School he chipped/broke the same tooth off about 1/2 up, so when he said he chipped it again that is what we imagined, and now I can see why it was less then $40.00 to fix-:) I have been thinking as we come upon the end of his 11th month on the 4th, how quickly time has really gone, I love that we have contact from week to week and maybe that is why it doesn't seem to drag, we always say, talk to you next week!

Please, if there are any moms or RMs that read this and know an inexpensive way for him to send some stuff home please let me know-thanks-and then I will pass on the info. to him...
