Elder Jordan Ross Weaver
I get anxious for Jordan the night and day that he is transferred, what a leap of faith to go somewhere you have never heard of, by yourself, to live with someone you don't know...so much more courageous then I...God bless and keep you Jordan, I am so proud of you and the great servant of our Heavenly Father that you are!
