the day after...

It's December 27th the day after we got to talk to Jordan and my heart is so full, he sounded so great and so full of the missionary spirit and has truly grown

I am coming home!

Well it was fun talking to you guys yesturday and also fun finding other emails telling me to resent you guys the phone number, I am sending an attachment with all of my information that the mission needs for my trip home, can you guys check it and let me know that its all good, and hopefully in these weeks we will have a date and plane plans.
Now that they have asked me to fill out forms to go home I feel more trunky then ever and well hopefully the Lord will forgive me and help me to keep on working and not loose these ten more weeks that I have left, and sorry but the computer won't let me send photos at this moment, you might have to wait ten weeks to see all of my pictures.
This week we are hoping for two baptisms and we also have a young couple in teaching but they aren't married so we are going to help them,l to complete the commandments of God.
I am sorry but that's all I have to say today because I lost my train of thought with the plans of coming home...
Love you guys
Elder Jordan Ross Weaver

Santa Claus

Okay to start off here is the number that you guys are going to call me at.... and I will be waiting the call on Sunday at 8:00 p.m. here in Mexico which shoulc be 7:00 p.m. back home, I think...
Well last week were the changes so I get a new comp, who has 5 months in the mission and he is a native Mexican, probably the shortest comp that I have had.
And yes I have put my hammock up now and sometimes I sleep in it, when it's not to cold at night. I am still not sure on what the plans are for Christmas day, but this Wednesday is the Christmas dinner for the ward and I am going to dress up as Santa Claus, I am going to be the tallest and skinniest Santa in history.
I didn't get any photos of my room so I hope its coming along fine and that no one else gets injured working on it.
Well on Saturday we had two baptisms of two little girls and well I can't really say how it went because I had food poisoning from some bad shrimp, that day and I was asleep during the service.
Well I don't have a lot to say this week but we will talk alot on Sunday,
Love you guys,
Elder Jordan Ross Weaver

I am late posting this email-we left for Vegas for the football game last week and I just did not get around to posting, so this is after we have talked to him last night...he said that he and about 5 other Elders called about sickness following sea food in the area and they are now banned from eating it-weird huh? He also said that the little kids in the ward were so excited to see Santa Claus come through the door at the party and then got closer and said you are not Santa, Elder, you are too skinny! Cute!

Christmastime and the Temple

Thanks again Sis. Hoopes!
Hello my wonderful family, How is everyone doing over in snowless Utah. okay to start out i did get the picture from last week and well this week i cant send any pictures because the computer wont read my card. we did have a baptis this week end and he was a big guy, so my companion being shorter then me its only natural that the brother choose me to baptize him, i almost went under with the big guy. we have an actual chapel here so i baptized him in a normal font. i didnt eat the crabs because they were really small but i do have an oyster collecion, i cleaned them out and have a bunch of cool shells. it was a ocean beach becasue we could see oild rigs and drills so it ws kinda cool. the apartment that we live in is pretty nice we live on the first floor and its stays really cool, it doesnt haet up like other places that i have stayed at. yes i got to see the fisrt presidency message, and yes i got the package, President CasteƱeda came to see us to do a special interview and he brought us some chinese food, and also the package. it looks like christams because everyone has trees and lights and music but its not cold, so i still feel like i am in spring. this thursday we are getting together as a whole mission for a specail Christmas confernce and that same day wew are going to go to the temple. so when i find a place that will let me send pictures i will be sure to send like 15 beacses i have alot of stories to tell but its always better with the pictures. today i am going to go get my haircut beacsue its kinda long, i am sure that mom would have cut it like 3 wekks ago for me buit i havent had time to do it until today. we are hoping to have two morte baptism this week and two more next week. last week we did divisions and i got to do 2 hours of service with another missionary from my district we painted a house so my jeans have paint all over them and also my t-shirt. i havent been able to find a small nativity set because they are all huge and not very orignal like i would like. well thats all i have for you guys this week, hopefully next week i will be able to send pictures. con amor, Elder Jordan Ross Weaver I called the Church travel office this last week and they don't have anything scheduled yet, they said that the Pres. of the mission needs to request stuff to happen...I asked Jordan to remind the Pres. of what the travel office said, so hopefully we should be hearing any day from what I understand, however I do know that he cannot stay longer than his visa is good for...Thanks to all that are writing him and keeping him in your prayers, have a super Holiday Season!
