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 Casteñeda 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!
