Dad-Yes, I think we can get the ward motivated enough to get things moving in a good direction.  I'm ok with the no tracting  its just we need to find our inv through members now and inv and recent converts now.  So we testify of the sacrament and how it blesses lives of being able to be baptized again and again weekly through the sacrament.  Things are getting better :)  Life is good thank you :)  I am happy and I hope you are too :) I am still growing and I don't know everything, I am still learning :) ha-ha  thank you for the quote I will read that chapter now and get insights from it ;) I love you dad and I hope you have a good week   love elder weaver

(I shortened Jordan's letter to Jace, there was alot of great stuff he learned in priesthood that he shared....)He gives us a knowledge of what we shall do, inasmuch as we are willing to sacrifice our lives rather than go contrary to that knowledge. He opens to us the secrets of the celestial kingdom, and he is constantly communicating to us things that we never knew before. This knowledge and intelligence is growing upon us continually."

Just some stuff I liked from priesthood today. It's been a slow week, but a fun one. Both Justin and Jax are in the playoffs :) Jax is in first seat so we are excited about that. Just chilling watching Holes with the rest of the family. Went and saw Captain Phillips Friday night and it's a great movie. 

That's all I really got this week my friend. Love you and hope all is going well with you.

Love Jordan.

Hey there Elder Weaver! How are you doing? I'm doing great! Way excited for Halloween this year. I'm going to two different parties, one this Friday and one next Saturday. So I'm doing two costumes with Emily. Mobsters and a hunter and deer, I'm the deer lol. Aunt Katie had her baby blessed today, she is a very pretty little girl with big eyes, chandler says he misses you and that another year is a long time for you to still be away.
Things with Em are going good, she's over here a lot spending time with the family and they haven't scared her away yet so that's good :)
The weather is starting to get cold here in Utah, it's been raining, so me and dad have been wearing our coats and sweaters to work, also the boots.
That's all I really got for you this week my friend, live you! Keep working hard!
Love Jordan

Great news!!

I received this text from Sis. Carol Boles, an angel that lives in Jace's ward right now...."Good evening sister Weaver. I was texting you to let you know that your son is OK the test came back that all is clear. There's no sign of anything with the mold, I thought you'd like that news. He said send His love and he will email you tomorrow..."

Power of prayer and answers to prayers, thanks to all of you for your prayers of love and support!

    It was great to talk to you last week you sound good, and upbeat. Do you have any concerns about your leg anything you want to talk about or we can help you with. Is it healing ok can you send us a pic without getting to personal, we understand if you can't. Let us know what we can do.

     Did you enjoy conference? Any talk touch your heart, or build you up tell us what you think or felt. I thought it was a great weekend good talks great spirit and with most of my fam good for me. Little football and gospel how could it be better?

     Things here are good still have work still bidding a lot which is good for this time of the year. And lot of talk about future work. So that always nice.
     So more about you do you like your new pres better than your old pres and why or why not? Do you have any new investigators ? How's Larry?
      I know you have been working hard and I'm sure proud. Keep it up! You are amazing. And with The Lords help you can do anything. Stay positive, be happy have fun love you.
                                                              Love you dad

Dad-____________ I loved conference :)   I had a couple talks I liked :)  but I couldn't take notes on anything because when we were about to leave a ball was being tossed around our apartment and hit a cup of water and went all over my note book....  so I have no note from conference......:(  kinda upset about it ....   found out about transfers I'm staying :) and so is my comp..   so my mailing address if y'all wouldn't mind posting it on the blog is 431 Kirkland Rd apt #6112  Covington, GA 30016 :)  I do like the new pres more  just because I've the chance to get to know him more and better and we see him monthly when we go to the temple so I understand him and his views and the things he is trying to do :)   we have a few more new ones :)    Larry is alright   found out last night why we haven't seen him...  he was walking home few weeks ago and someone went to jump him and ended up shooting at him and this all happened by our complex late at night....  so he is looking at house down the road a little bit to move into   but he is still in our ward boundaries and wants us to start visiting him more again..so that's good :)  tonight we have a lesson with a  girl some members tried to set up with Larry   but he never came to dinner.  she is awesome   she said she won't switch churches but she wants to keep learning about the church and took a book of Mormon and set up out next appointment and dinner with those members again :) so we are kinda excited about that :)   love you dad hope you have a good week and take of yourself and the family :)   love elder weaver

Hey how are you? I'm good! I started middle linebacker Friday against Roy Jr because someone got in a fight and very one that was there had to sit the first quarter. What and who was your favorite talker? My was Uchtdorf in the priesthood session. Thanks for the hat and bag and ticket I love them all! :) love you, love Jax have a good week! :)

Hello there Elder Weaver! How is your week going? Mine has been great! I really enjoyed general conference and the talks that the brethren gave during priesthood session. I really enjoyed the first Presidencies messages during priesthood session. I especially loved president Uchtdorfs talk about picking ourselves up and dusting ourselves off after we've fallen.
Well I love you bud, sorry don't really have much to say this week. Keep working hard. Love you.
Love Jordan.

Jordan-my week is going pretty good :)  love you too Jord  be safe and take care of yourself :)    how's Emily doin?  talk to you next week   love elder weaver

Hey hey!!! My week was good! We beat Ogden this week, we won 63-21 we didn't play any starters in the second half.. I hate blow out games like that, there no fun.. But this week the varsity has a buy but our jv and sophs play Syracuse on Wednesday.. So that'll be fun to watch then the next week we play Bonneville for our senior night!!! I'm gonna have chandler come down and be a part of it like you had him... So that'll be fun!! :) how's the leg and stitches?? Does it itch?? I got 67 yards in the game with only 5 carries... And didn't play any defense because Jones wanted me to be all better for Bonneville and sky view.. My favorite talk from priesthood session was president  uchtdorf because he talked about the Devine potential that we all have and that we are better and stronger than any of us can even imagine... So that gave  me a ton of confidence! What was your favorite talk?? I love ya Jace! And hope everything is good and your healing well! Keep it up!
-love Justin

Justin-dang kiddo!!   that's a good game ;)  ha-ha   good job on your yards :)  have you heard from any colleges yet??...  are you getting stuff ready to send out? :)    glad your healing and getting better for Bonneville.    heal up and get ready for the game of your life!  :)  I'm excited for you!!  I think I may be more excited than dad ;)  ha-ha   I saw bro Peterson from Roy seminary in the choir on Saturday session and the twins...   Erickson twins   idk their names.....  :)   my favorite talk....  that's hard to choose...   I like the general message I got from it tho to be your best and never give and you can always repent of the things you've done and move on in life and not let those things weigh you down :)   love you Justin :)    hope you have a good one be safe  love elder weaver

Keeping him in our every thought and prayer, thanks for all of yours and for putting his name in the temples, I called 10 this morning, :) faith not fear!!!

picture update....

 Found the sunset setting....love it!

 Sunsets became a big thing at our house once we moved from the valley of South Weber Drive and could see them. Our Heavenly Father's creations are amazing! Including our missionaries :)

 The following pictures are from a leadership meeting with the mission president, he talks about them in a letter that won't post...they did role play for a good obedient mission morning and one for a not so good, slept in, didn't pray or read....he looks so good!  Thanks to the Hardings (mission Pres and wife) for keeping a facebook page up to date, love the extra pictures....

Mole update

Got a call from Jace today October 3, 2013 in the afternoon.  He had a mole biopsy about two weeks ago and they called and said that there was an abnormality.  Today he went back in and the doctor told him it is melanoma, she took more from the area, his upper, inner thigh.  He said the scar is 3 inches long, had 4 stitches inside and 7 outside, he said don't worry Mom they gave me something to cover myself up. :) The doctor said they will run tests and let him know when results are back, but for him to come back in two weeks to have stitches removed.
She asked them about their missions and they told her about not listening to the radio while out, about leaving home, and serving and she thought it was quite admirable. :) Jace was in very good spirits, he didn't seem to be to worried, I asked what we could do for him and he said nothing, just pray and then asked what he could do for us....
so difficult because I feel very helpless, I know he is in God's hands just wish I could be there to hold his hand sometimes!

Sweet Carol Boles and family had him over for dinner last night and she sent this picture with the following....."He has a happy plate so clean even our dog was mad, lol" "We are praying for him, he is awesome"
Thanks Carol for being there when I can't-Love you to you and your wonderful family! God bless!
