Bonus pictures...

 A sweet Sister, Carol Boles, sent me these photos on the 24th, his toe looks awful, and if you look closely at cute picture below, his foot is in a boot because toe so bandaged....OUCH!

Doing service and enjoying the great company at the Boles home, cute little helper! Hard to believe that my little helper was ever that little....goes to fast! 
Can't get over how long Jacer's hair is....so different from marine cut!

I love you weaver family

   Loved your letter last week, you sound like your growing  a lot  and having a great experience. I sure hope so, I want your to have a great growing time. Growing closer to your savior and father in heaven, it look like from all your pics you are working very hard, you're a great man I'm so proud to see want you have grown into, I so look forward to your emails. And often want to email you through the week bout I know you can't read them,
     So did you have a good week ? How the comp? How's your health? Are you happy? Is the weather still hard on you? Are you getting used to it?
     We see Face book posting from coach Fitz and it reminds us of a year ago, how fun  and how hard it was leaving you at SVU. But what time you had to grow and learn, and hey you've played college football. That is amazing your awesome. You can do hard things, and you know that with the lords help you can do anything. As a young father I never thought I could feel so much joy in my sons success and happiness, thank you for sharing your life with me. Please remember how much I love you and pray for you success and joy, please be happy enjoy love the time you have left, you can see how fast life goes, so don't waste a moment, not long from now you'll be looking back wondering where it all went, just like how fast football went so take a deep breath and enjoy. Be amazing it is so in you, so let it out and share it with the folks in Covington.
     Be great! Be happy! Be loving! Be strong! Be close to your father in heaven! I can only feel a small part of the joy and love that he has for you. And it is good. love you bud enjoy, Dad

Dad-I hope I'm growing ha-ha and maturing a lil ;)  I feel I am growing closer to my father in heaven and my savior as well  even the more I read and study the scriptures and try to teach it to people and finding ways to help them apply it to themselves  in their trials and repentance :) even though I can't read emails throughout the week still shoot me a message and I'll get to it on Monday :) my week was real good  on Monday after we went back and changed for the rest of the night we had a teaching appointment and we took a less active with us and the investigator knew him from school and what not and the investigator said he would be at church if he saw his good friend there and so then the less active member said he would come to church.  he hasn't been in about 6 months  :)  so we are very happy and excited to see an investigator reactivate a less active :)  that was awesome!  my health is good  my comp is a little sick though  and he's a good guy  but he likes to get into my stuff.  he thinks that because things are bought with the lords money or the mission card that its for both of us...  which I don't fully agree with...  but I'm trying to be nice ...  yes I am very happy!!   and the weather isn't too bad anymore I'm starting to like it more :)  its crazy to think I've been away from home for almost a year already and only 7 months of it is the mission...  crazy how time flies. dad I'm very happy you are a part of my life and that you've had such a large impact in all that I've done and that I will do in the future. thank you so very much for being the man that you are. I get compliments all the time saying  wow your parents taught you well,  your father taught you to be a real gentle man,   your mom must be spoiled,,  the only reason I get those is because I watched your example as a young child and I've learned how to be from you   so thank you very much dad :)   I love you so much dad  thank you so much for being my father :)   I love you dad   love your earthly  son  elder Jace weaver  

 Hey there my friend, I hope you are enjoying your mission and still working hard.Moses 1:39 For behold, this is MY work, and MY, glory to bring to pass the immortality an eternal life of man.I like this scripture because it talks about why you are out there serving a mission my friend. It is to bring to pass The Lords work and His glory. Always remember that you are doing His work and that you and every other missionary out there have dedicated 18-24 months of your lives to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man.I had a fun week this week, and am looking forward to going to Flaming Gorge this weekend :) going to go swimming and hiking and just enjoy the outdoors.So how's the new companion?

 If a catholic investigator asked you what makes you're priesthood more important or the right priesthood and, and what makes our priesthood wrong?? What would you tell them?
I was Asked that in priesthood and I didn't know what to say.. So just kind of something to think about..ha
Love you Jace! You're a great man!! Represent my brada! Ha ;)

our priesthood was restored on the earth by man named Joseph smith, and we can trace our priesthood line of authority back to Christ himself.  can Catholics do that?  :)  maybe , maybe not..  we just testify to them that JS restored the true gospel and was given the authority of god known as the priesthood :)

Great!

my new comp is great dad!  he's from the Atlanta mission and they have a lot more rules then what I'm used to  but I'm getting used to :)   ha-ha  I am growing,  I hope you know I am trying my best to make the most of my time here. the baptism went great!  the girls asked me to talk on baptism so I did and I related it to lion king :D ha-ha   how rafecki tell timon that a journey of a 1000 miles starts with the first step and how baptism is the covenant and step to growing closer to our father in heaven eternally and I read 2 Nephi 31: 19-21 and that was ok I thought.. I do feel I am reaching goals and yes growing how I wanted to, also growing in the way the lord needs me to grow... I am starting to be more routine with the journal so that is becoming a habit..   this week after getting my new comp we went to see some ward members and potential investigators,  and we are calling potentials also from 2010 who have been excited to get back in contact with the missionaries  and we have a good week planned ahead for us    other than that nothing out of the ordinary had happened this week.  dad I love you very much and hope you will never forget that   love your son elder weaver 

mom-I do not know about fb in mission work yet..  yes I do like my new comp  his name elder holt from Vegas  but graduated high school from Provo high after family moved.  he's been out barley a transfer longer than me he's 21 years old.   ha-ha are y'all making plans to pick me up already??  ;)  ha-ha   we will defiantly have to go see sweet Bete and some other families in  Athens! :)   yes the Payne's are doing good  he is recovering very well and is an amazing man  and his wife is an amazing women!   the baptism was great  the father baptized them  Mckayla and Kellie Reynolds  ages 11 and 9,  it was a great experience and opportunity to help teach them and  see them be baptized :) after the baptism our lunch appointment was at the church to pick us up so we couldn't get any pics...  sad day  but we will take picks next week for sure!!   oh and I had my ingrown toenail removed today and he took half my nail off   he says he numbed it but I don't believe him cause it hurt pretty bad..  and he let me watch :D  which was awesome!!! even though it hurt I enjoyed watching it :) ha-ha ill use stamp on you yes  and I have a package of stuff to send home as well :)  fun stuff inside of it :):):):)thank you so much for everything you do for me as your son  an I hope you I I'm crying while I'm reading this  cause I think you were maybe getting a little teary as you typed it? ;)  just guessing  probably wrong..   I'm gonna miss the parade and also high school football   I hope someone around here can hook up missionaries to go to a game or two or 9 :)  hehehe I love you mom very much and I miss you with all my heart   love your son elder Weaver 

(letter from Jordan)  Hey goofy, just another fun week for your older brother. To start off a story from what I learned in priesthood.

"Lorenzo Snow showed his confidence in God's assisting power when he journeyed to serve a mission in England in 1840. On the 42-day voyage across the Atlantic Ocean, he and his fellow travelers suffered through three large storms. He later reported that these were "terrible storms--storms which those accustomed to the ocean pronounced very dangerous." He noticed a difference between his response to the storms and the response of some of the other travelers: "In a number of instances, to say the least of it, the scene was fearfully terrific. I did not feel surprised that men, women and children who had not learned to trust in God, wrung their hands in an agony of fear, and wept."
 "My trust was in Him who created the seas and defined their bounds. I was on His errand--I knew that I was sent on this mission by the authority He recognizes, and, although the elements raged and the ship swayed and trembled amid the heaving billows, He was at the helm, and my life was safe in His keeping."
I wish I could highlight some things that stood out to me, but I want you to find what stands out to you my friend.

Love ya buddy.
Love Jordan

Letter from Pres. Harding....

Dear AMAZING MISSIONARIES & Fellow Climbers on the Lord's Mountain: 

(Enjoy 3 Nephi 10-12 today in Book of Mormon, this is an incredible gift, the "visit of the Savior".  Great Conyers Zone:  See the BOM Reading Calendar in Vision Section of the Certification manual - we have been reading the BOM for 20 minutes of personal study, then doing Certification for the other 40 minutes of personal study)

Thank you for reading the Book of Mormon daily, patiently fasting, praying, and following the Lord's will to FIND FAMILIES EACH DAY AND TEACH AND INVITE THEM TO BE BAPTIZED.  Sister Harding and I literally plead with God that He will bless you to be successful in your mission and life, each day and each night.  We testify that Heavenly Father knows your every need and that if you will be faithful, honest and give your all, believing, miracles will come to you personally and to those you are to find and baptize.  We promise you that there is one key, more important to any other, to unlock the power of heaven, it is to exercise great faith in being EXACTLY OBEDIENT.  We call upon every missionary and every companionship, district and zone to renew all efforts to obey each rule and guideline from this moment forward - That miracles may flow to us and others!

Weather Check - Climbing Check - Battle Check

THE MOUNTAIN: As chapter 8 of PMG says, goals reflect the desires of our hearts.  We desire simply to do the Lord's Glorious work of finding, teaching and baptizing souls and families - and we desire to do it HIS WAY (Preach My Gospel). This is the MOUNTAIN THAT HE HAS GIVEN US TO CLIMB daily. 

Weather Check - We continue to climb through storms and sunshine to the BRING SOULS(FAMILIES) TO CHRIST - this is a remarkable day for all of us to work together to achieve a few goals.  To double the amount of families that we have found and committed to baptism, each companionship to make changes in how they work to enable them to reach the standards of excellence (30 blessings, 20 lessons (to an investigator with a member), 5 new investigators, all to church, and each missionary to save(baptize) a soul each month), and we have the goal that EVERY MISSIONARY achieve the basic level of Preach My Gospel "Certification".  Please see the vision of DOING THE LORD'S WORK(Daily finding and inviting to baptism) and DOING IT HIS WAY (Certification as a Master of Preach My Gospel).  This always means preparing and following the Spirit with magnificent faith.  You can do it!  You are divine in your nature, you are sent from God to do God's work.  Thank you!!!

Climbing and Battle Check - Please enjoy being "Exactly Obedient and full of Faith" in accomplishing each detail step of preparation and calling into the District each night- We have the great blessing of being organized into families called a "District".  This is a sacred organization in the church, just like a ward and a stake.  Each district member is so important.  Each has the responsibility as a fellow climber to be a leader and a lifter to help others be safe on the Mountain the Lord has given us. The District Leader has the responsibility to facilitate and organize, but each missionary has the responsibility to lead, lift and encourage each member of the district to move quickly and have great faith to baptize.  We need each other, everyone is a leader to be exactly obedient, to have great faith to find and invite to baptism - to help other missionaries believe.  Every missionary is responsible to the Lord for the outcome of the district and this wonderful mission.  Call in each night having completed all that you have been asked to do, report your miracles, your certification progress and build each other's faith.  Thank you so much. 

Please print out the ATTACHMENT script for the nightly call and enjoy building faith in this time together to share the love of God.

My question for you today in your letter to me is:  Will you be EXACTLY OBEDIENT with GREAT FAITH to "Climb the Mountain" each day of "certification" and "finding and inviting" all to Christ?  Will you be EXACTLY OBEDIENT IN ALL THINGS TO BRING MIRACLES?

President Eyring spoke once of hearing President Spencer W. Kimball, in a session of conference, ask that God would give him mountains to climb.  He said "There are great challenges ahead of us, giant opportunities to be met.  I welcome that exciting prospect and feel to say to the Lord, humbly, 'Give me this mountain,' give me these challenges."

President Eyring said.."my heart was stirred, knowing, as I did, some of the challenges and adversity he had already faced.  I felt a desire to be more like him, a valiant servant of God......."

Each of us, have our own mountains to climb, and we have an amazing gift that we can all climb this mission mountain the Lord has given us together.  You can do it, don't give up.  Bend at it, sweat at it, smile at it too, for out of the bend and the sweat and the smile, will come life's victories, after a while.

May you know that God is over all things, He knows you and loves you.  He has called you to focus all your time and talent and energy on finding His children, just one day at a time.  He has asked us to invite them and bring them to Him through the restored gospel pathway or route.  He has simply also provided a daily map, a guide, a checklist a "WAY" to accomplish His purposes.  Follow it strictly, learn it, want it, do it and you will be happier than you have ever dreamed.  And you will become everything that you should be.  But you must pay the price of work and discipline like never before.  The investment in yourself and others is worth every pain or sore muscle.

D&C 82:10 is inspiring...."I the Lord and bound, when ye do what I say, but when ye do not what I say, ye have no promise."  Let us cast away all doubt and fear and have unshakeable faith to "Find, teach and commit to baptism" precious families.  Let us have the faith to make the changes necessary to reach our goals daily.We pray a great blessing upon you this day, that the Atonement of Jesus Christ will be alive and real in your heart, that the Restoration story will glow in you as well and you will not stop till the great Jehovah will say the work is done.

 We love you, we respect you and we know we can trust you because of your integrity and love for the Lord.  We look forward to being with you this week, to fasting and praying and working and saving others.  We testify that Jesus is the Christ, that this is His church, you are called up and set apart to be mighty and strong, see the Lord's vision for you and for others and for His Glorious work.  We love you.  We admire you, we respect you, we want to help you in any way possible to fulfill your future!

Have a wonderful day and week, accomplish only what the Lord has asked daily, remove all other distractions - Pray for 100% focus on the Lord's Work and Will!

with great love and respect and trust - President and Sister Harding

Sister Boles sent me pictures on the 4th, they had rain so no fireworks, but she set a beautiful July 4th table for dinner and she sent video of them entertaining with water glasses....

 

Thanks again Boles family, we love and appreciate you so much!

Freedom allows us to teach the gospel and be silly doing it :)

Note from Mom....He sent a picture of every single tie he has, I think he is trying to pass the time, his companion doesn't talk that much and there have been some very tense moments that we have not shared on the blog, please keep him and his companion in your prayers, that they will find common ground and be able to go about the Lord's work...I keep telling him he may be there to help someone he may not have thought need help...Love you Elder Weaver and all that are helping him and the missionaries in Covington, Member help is so very important and I know that he loves and appreciates you!
(I don't think I'll post the many pictures of ties :))

Service....

I received these pictures from Sis Carol Boles, they were doing a service project, and I so love the sightings of missionaries in action...Thanks Sis Boles

 "Hello Sister Weaver. My name is Carol Boles. Your son is serving his mission in our ward. Just to let you know he has a great spirit and a heart of love and giving.  You both should be proud of him.  Here are a few pictures of him doing service project..."

 

 Thanks Sis Boles....love the pictures!

                 

"You are most welcome, that's the least we can do.  You do have a wonderful son and who ever he marries will be very lucky.  We are having them over for the 4th, I'll send more pictures...."
