I'm getting into my grove that I like and if its bothering him ill fix it if he asks me to.. but never says anything to.. and I'm not saying I'm purposely making him mad or bugging him I'm just saying.. ha-ha good luck in football and keep doing the best you always can. I really don't think you can give me too much credit tho for your success,, thank God first, for the strong healthy body you have to do the things you do both physically and mentally.. cause there's people that can't quit do what you can do Justin.. remember that. ;) then thank mom and dad fro their time and money and efforts then maybe if there's enough thanks left ill take small part ;) ha-ha I love you bud and only wish the best for you. love elder weaver:) p.s. mymobilehomeboyy :P

Dad-this week went by very fast!!! as far as being in a new mission I will stay in my new area will just be in the new mission :) same apartment same area same car same comp same ward, new mission name.. that's all that is changing I sent mom the email I got about the new mission office address.. so when y'all send me stuff it'll be to that new address :) things with comp are somewhat better... I'm just going with it now but things get too out of hand I set him straight ;) about the same as my roommate at svu.. just him I could at least get away from... this one I cant... ha-ha I love you so much dad and thank you for your words today.. I know I can do hard things because you've always believed in me when I didn't and you still did when I did as well thank you so much dad. I hope you know you can do hard things too!! :) I love you dad :) love your son elder Jace Weaver

Mom-I so feel better in the apartment.. I notice that my nightly prayers are becoming more meaningful and exact, sometimes I notice I have prayed for 30 min.. not bragging or tooting my own horn just letting y'all know. I figured I had been sent here to help fix something with him.. I think I might be the only comp he has some respect for.. we have another set of elders in our ward and sometimes dinner gets dropped off at their apartment and we drive over and eat with them, and that's when he does things like that... but I found out he doesn't like certain food so I'm gonna buy me those foods :) cause I like em milk peanut butter chocolate :) so I can get chocolate cereal and have food for me that I won't have to worry about him taking :) look at me thinking ;) hehehehe :) tell Braxton Patton to email me please :) tell him I'm mad him for not emailing me yet!!! ;) ha-ha tell him congrats and tell his family I say hello back :) I'm going to the Georgia Atlanta mission... so I won't see his sister... that meeting Sunday night was amazing! I think as far as elders using fb and what not they will have to do it at the church or somewhere where they can be supervised closely.. that's exciting!!` so happy and glad to know that our church is progressing with the modern world! :) I hope that you have a super day as well :) you keep smiling and praying too ;) thank you so much mom for all that you do for me I love you so very much mom I miss you too sometimes I wish you were here to tell some of these people what's up and to listen her son ;) ha-ha it might help with some people ;) ha-ha love elder weaver ps I'm sending some pics of ties so tell the boys and dad to tell me next week what ties they want and ill send them home I also have some for chandler :)

this is me after working a full day of biking around in a circle because my comp isn't good at directions... and the one with my helmet on is me right before an appointment.. all sweaty,,,

our map... and my eyes have been really yellow lately... not sure why.. but I hope they get better

not sure about the map picture? and no picture of ties came through? oh well, poor guy, has been blessed with the gift of self cleansing-or sweating buckets! looks great though and so much more up beat! The power of prayer is amazing....Thanks to everyone!

Father's Day!

Dad-  ----------- its hard because at times I compare missions with Jordan as well and I get really down on myself and not excited to do anything..  but as I realize there different I get happy again and keep pressing forward.   brother and sister jeppson are awesome people!!  I will surely miss them a lot as well.  and sweet bete,  she said I was one of the hardest missionaries to say good bye to..  she was about to cry as we left Tuesday night from saying goodbye...   I felt really bad...  ----     my new comp...-----  he is the youngest of 12 and was given everything to him as he was growing up and ...  he will drink other elder milk or juice out of the jug and then take it home to our place...  he thinks everything in the apartment is his...  he says the car is his and the miles get spent how he wants to...   now im alright with some of this,,  but he is really starting to get on my nerves...   he is starting to pinch me when I don't do things how he wants them done or if he doesn't understand what I am saying..  I almost punched him this morning because he was playfully hitting me and acting like he was going to punch me..  kinda ticked me off..  I love the area though!!  the people here are awesome! so nice and funny.  the people that called you yesterday  brother Paine is an awesome man who used to work for the railroad..  very nice and is joking about something all the time.. :)   the area I am in will become a part of the Atlanta mission.. on July 1st we will be in the mission but I might stay in the new area  all of that is not figured out yet...   Haha   I would love to have you come and cheer me on in a lesson or while we are knocking doors :)  that be fun :)     thank you dad so much for all that you do for me and the love and support that you've given me,  you are the type of man I hope to become as I continue to grow and get married and have children   thanks dad  I love you  love Jace  p.s.   happy father's day  

ya I thought you'd cry :)  I was crying as well I was sitting next to him as y'all were talking :') ha-ha   in my testimony I explained how you didn't have to chance to serve and so you have always told us your sons that you want us to better then you were and how you  have instilled in me to do nothing but my best and to be satisfied with my efforts,  and I related it to god how he is the same way with his children on earth, and I said I hope I get to be the man that I my father is in holding the priesthood and loving his wife and his children.   so dad thank you for your example and all that you've done me   I love you and wish only the best for you  love elder weaver 

note from Mom....so we are sitting in sacrament, Father's Day, and Ross' phone vibrates that there is a call, it comes up from Georgia, he goes out to answer and hears, "Bro. Weaver?, yes, this is Bro Paine from Covington Georgia, I am here with Elder Weaver, Ross says yes, not knowing what to expect...Bro. Paine says Elder Weaver asked me to do him a favor and wish you a Happy Father's Day, he bore his testimony in sacrament today and talked a lot about his Dad, and he loves you very much....he also asked if we were related to a Jay Weaver, and Elder that served in Covington about 14 years ago, Ross said he thought he knew one, and would check into it....Ross came back in to sacrament and we both cried...what great people he has come across, Thanks Bro Paine! Come to find out that Elder Jay Weaver is Ross' 3-4 cousin and just happens to live in the same house we lived in on South Weber Drive, the home we had before we moved here to the Terrace...small world!)

Busy! leaving Athens....

 good morning my friend,
work is great, doing some rock work for Brian today, then a pipe job for irrigation field this week...we did get the Roy subdivision but don't start that till next month.
driving the sailboat was very fun, amazing how smooth the ride was because the keel in the water is so big, would like to do it again, on a bigger sailboat, the water was so clear you could see the bottom of the ocean where we were docked! want to go back!
Leslie called me last night and I guess they went to Rossitters farewell yesterday, we weren't invited, anyways, Chandler was sitting there and Leslie was trying to explain who the people were and how related, and he said I want to play with Jace, she said well Jace is on his mission, and he said ok I will wait till next summer to play with him, cute huh!
I was released from legacy house yesterday, so I'm down to one calling, stake young men's counselor, it was bitter sweet, I will miss the people a lot, but someone else needs those blessings.
coach Womack is moving into our ward this month and says hello,
I have a quote that I shared with Justin this week and I leave it by the computer to remind me, it says "I don't know of any other way to lead but by example"  thanks for being a great leader and example. I am proud of you and the work that you are doing, continue to grow in the gospel and the work will come.  work hard my friend and be safe, have a super week, tell us about the work this week,
love your very proud Dad

Dad-well...  I'm balling like a baby in a public library,,,  I wish I could see Chandler and play with him in the pool....  coach Womack is moving in??   what house?  where?  how close to our house?  that'll be fun !! you  know with our quote,,  another one comes to my mind..  monkey see monkey do ;) ha-ha   on a more serious note,  Christ said in the movie the testaments,  the son can only do that which he seeth the father do...   dad the men your sons are today have evolved from your example..  so thank you for being that example of a loving caring supportive father and husband, and also a worthy priesthood holder.  thank you for all that you do.   this week we talked to 56 different people about the gospel and had 6 lessons,  and had 3 new investigators to church on Sunday.  one of them already considers himself a member of the church because he likes it so much, and he wants his son to start taking the lessons as well.   the other lessons no one was too interested and didn't want us to come back..   but the work must go on :)   ha-ha   that sums up my week :)  

hope you have a good one dad.  I love you  love elder weaver

Mom's note, Justin got tackled during a touch drill and it left a hematoma on his upper right hip bone, it swelled up to the size of a softball by the time he finished practice and came home. We took him to a sports medicine place that looks at ball players for free and he said to ice, compress, and rest for at least 24 hours, he said that there would be large amounts of bruising and he would be out of commission for a few days at least, well with lots of ice, compression and rest, and prayer, there is very little if any bruising and when we went back two days later the doctor was so surprised and cleared him to play his 7 on 7 that Saturday, he played awesome, tho hurt, he did great!  Prayer, gotta love it!
