Baptism at the beach

Hello my family,
I had to change my email because they updated the website so every missionary got a new email.
We had two baptisms this week, the first one was at the beach it was really cool because the wind and the waves were fighting against us, but when my comp put his arm to the square to perform the ordinance everything went calm, he said the prayer, put down his arm and the waves and wind were back. We also baptized in the church which was cool, but they are better at the beach. Yesterday I confirmed the sister which was really cool, and also we gave a blessing to a little girl who was really sick, afterwards she was running around and playing like she was normal..These experiences have really strengthened my faith in the power of God and how he trusts us as his sons to hold and use it worthily.
The last picture is of today, the four missionaries at the beach, we went and played soccer, then walked along the beach possin and everything. Names of the Elders from left to right, Elder Castro, Elder Riedhead, Elder Medina, and the mas guapo, Elder Weaver. (very handsome, Elder Weaver)
I am glad that things are starting to pick up back home and that everyone is doing good, thanks for the picture Mom and Dad. We are going to have conference tomorrow and I am really excited, because it was supposed to be last week but they changed it for this week to prepare a better lesson, I am really pumped to learn some doctrine.
Jace, Justin, and Jax, I hope you are all behaving and helping Mom and Dad as much as you guys can, something I have learned here on the mission is that the Lord blesses us when we are obedient, that includes being obedient to Mom and Dad. I know sometimes you want to just rebel against them like I did sometimes but it's not a fun path to walk, so I pray that the tree of you will try better to obey Mom and Dad, and also the commandments of the Lord.
Jace how is the missionary class going, what have you learned? Have you been on any other dates, if so I want to see pictures.
Justin be good and tell me what it's like being an SBO, are you excited or do you want something else more fun.
Jax, hey goofy, how are the other two boys treating you? How is school going? Can you drive yet like me Jace, and Justin or is Mom holding on to her youngest still?
If you guys can, keep my health in your prayers because for the past 5 days I have had a sore stomach and have lost weight from going to the bathroom. I have taken pepto and received blessings from my comp. Tomorrow I am going to talk to Sis. Hansen, Mom I don't want you to freak out and send an email to Sis. Hansen, I will talk to her tomorrow, just keep me in your prayers like I asked (Dad don't let Mom write Sis. Hansen)
I love you all and look forward to hearing from you next week
Elder Jordan Ross Weaver
p.s. Happy Birthday Grandma Pat!
Silly boy, I won't email Sis. Hansen, just pray continually, then hopefully I will hear from her soon...maybe it's just a bug or a worm-yuck! maybe just stomach flu-have faith, he is in the Lord's hands, Faith not Fear! Faith not Fear!
