How is everyone back in Utah doing with signs of snow? i think after the mission i will just live in Texas until its sping again back home. Zone Conference only lasted half a day this time because it was a normal Zone Confernce the other times its beacsue its a Leadership Training, i had a interview with President CasteƱeda and we laerned about how we can better find new people to teach the Gospel to. Stake confernce was fun to we had four ordinations to the mElquesidic priesthood and i ordiend one of them so i need my line of Authority to share with him, if you guys can send it to me. and no we did not have to speak at the stake confernce. we are going along just fine with the Temple Preparatiosn and we are going to be going in the afternoon like at 5 we will be entering, 5:00 back in Utah 6:00 here in Mexico Seminary is ockay we have three studenst but its just not as much fun as i thought it would be, and as such not a future career choice.and we do it at night. As for the pictures that i am sending one is of me with my new haircut, and the other is of my sock. its cool here because the wife of the Stake young mens president gave us each three pairs of socks, i am reading the book of Mormon in Spanish because its boring in English and i fall asleep. i baught a new shirt today so that i can go to the Temple in nice white clothing, and i took out some of the m,oney that was in my card so that i could but some new garments. Landon and i have been in contact and he tells me that he is going to be a District leader to. Well thats all i ahve for this week, i will be sure to send pictures of the temple next week, Love you all, Elder Jordan Ross Weaver

Elder/Seminary Teacher
Well how is it getting over there in cold old Utah, I have been getting cold these past nights so I am sure that back home I am going to die from cold.
Today was a fun day we got together as a zone and we went and saw Toy Story 3. On Wednesday we are going to have zone conference and this weekend is going to be stake conference. Me and my companion are going to be the new seminary teachers until they call a new teacher, because the old one never came to give the classes.
Yes I got the pipe pictures how much did you guys have to lay out, and yes we wash our clothes in the back of our apartment.
Yesterday we had to take a small bus to get to lunch and well we got on and two ladies were really drunk and we think the bus driver was too, after a couple of minutes another lady got on and well the two drunk ladies offered her a beer and she took it. People really like to drink down here.
I actually have a few favorite mexican families becasue the are all alot of fun and they are golden converts that help us work and they are fun to talk to.
So alot of people are getting married back home huh...so does that mean I can get married when Iw ant to when I get home..? :)
I went and bought some boots that I needed and also a rain poncho which keeps me and my stuff pretty dry...sorry but I don't have any pictures for this week and its because we are at a different internet cafe then usual and it does not read my memory.
I finished the book of Mormon and I have started to read it again right now I am in Alma chapter 30.
Tomorrow we are going to take some members to the Family History Center to prepare some names of their ancestors for the Temple trip that we have planned.
love you all

Hello again,
Well hello again my favorite american Family, i cant say just plain family because i have a favorite Mexican family too :) the first picture is of me in front of the Temple of VillaHermosa, the next is of our baptism on confernce weekend and the third is of the baptism we had this past Saterday, the fourth is of me washing my clothes with a stick in a big water gallon, and the fifth is of me at BK
About coming to get me i will talk to President CasteƱeda about it in Feburary. We had a more or less week this past week, it was hard to find new people to teach but we did have a baptism this week to. Today we got together as a district of 8 people and played Mafia, it was fun we did it differently though, in the place of mobster they were Gadianton Robbers, and in the place of cops they were angels and in the place of normal citizins they were nephites. then after wards we went and ate at BK. We are still in the process of preapring everyone to go to rthe temple so its going to be alot of fun and mom i am food, so there is no need to send me a package, in the place of sending me a package maybye keep the money so i can start school, when i get back. The water heater heats up to much and melted the outlet so we are still bathing with copld water but the bugs dont bug me anymore. The food is always the same chiken, and pig and yesterday i ate iguana, it tastes like fish and still had some bones in it, but it was good in a taco.

Answers to Questions
Hello my family,
Well to start off I am sorry but there will be no pictures for this week, because the computer won't read my card but that's okay, there will be more for next week.
Well you all had some great ideas about what I should do when I get home but to tell the truth I still plan on sticking with landscaping idea and building off of Dad's business if he will be my partner, and give me a helping hand.
Jace why would you want a new car when I will get it when you leave for your mission, it's better that I being the oldest brother should get it to study and date and while your away I will watch over it :)
My stay with President Casteneda was fun we learned some new teaching methods and the last day he took us to do a session in the Temple, we all felt spiritually strengthened and also with the General Conference that happened we received a lot of strength, even though we had to see it in English.
We are planning on taking 15 people to the Temple and they are in the process of preparing names of their ancestors to do the work for them.
Today I got a good laugh because the sisters that I have in my district called me up and told me that they have a tarantula in their house. I asked them what they wanted me to do about it and they went quiet, as if not sure what to do...I told them to get it outside with a broom or kill it with some Raid. They called me back up after 10 minutes and told me that they had killed it with a rock.
I am going to study Mom so lets not worry about school and don't worry about what I will do, I got my answer and will act upon it.
About coming and getting me well they aren't allowing it so it's not really an option, besides it would be boring for you guys not understanding what people are saying and boring for me because I would have to be translating the whole time...
We had a baptism on Saturday and we are planning on having another one this Saturday and also a trip to the stake center to use the Family History Center.
Thank you all for your support in this time of my life, I love you all and hope that everything will keep working out.
Con amor
