haha  I think I need to work on my bench weight as well, haven't been able to do it in 2 years...   so Friday night we left and we go to the Marta station and a homeless man stopped us to ask for food and diapers, for his kid that wasn't with him, and we told him we don't have money but we could pray with him. he said he was ok and was a minister for a church, and he's asking for food and diapers,  so while we are leaving he said something about a prayer and I said well we can pray with you right now and he got upset and said he had God in him and didn't need anymore.  we said ok  have a good day. he said he will have a good one and that he will be praying for us, we said we were thankful and if he needed a prayer would love to say one with him a other time and something made him mad and he started yelling and swearing at us for no reason,... kinda strange but we just walked away..  so I've been sick this week and every morning it was hard to work out  but I'm feeling better now and will be getting back into drills and running with comp so I'll try to be in the best I can be when I get home.    good for Roy that's exciting!!!   and I haven't seen the picture lately in the store  but there's a black Jesus picture with Dreads?...  haha  love you dad  love elder weaver  

Mom-so we only have Marta. I don't know what Carol is talking about...  I kinda do miss elder Lindsey  elder Kimball is counting down the days till we go home... I'm not ready for that yet...  I have caught up on sleep though :)   the fight was stupid... I don't even know how to describe it...  any pics from airport drop off?  how's Jax handling it?   I emailed him so he should be able to email me :)  I think I miss him more now....  weird...  dang rice eccles stadium!!!  :D  that's gonna be exciting stuff to hear about!  can y'all take some pics for me? please and thank you :)  what are the details about my homecoming?.. sorry so short n o time  hold one few min be right back

crazy November already..  our week was good, last night I get a call from some sisters in the district and they tell me that the other elders in the district had gotten in a fight with each other,  so last night at 12 we switched companions, I have the one who started the fight and elder Lindsey is in the other area now, and its permanent for now so I have a new companion...  that's really the only thing on my mind from this past week... but we didn't see any crazy costumes or people on Halloween.. kinda sad, oh well we saw some really drunk man trying to walk down the sidewalk and was walking dragging his body along the fence , kinda interesting ;) that's crazy though about Jax wining and also Roy still going strong!!  we saw the lst minute of the GTECH game this Saturday against University of Virginia. that was pretty cool!! :)  they have a really nice field and stadium. wow  so do you know about Justin's travel plans??   I would say we can stop by the haslam's but I really didn't know them... just met them twice, and I agree about the hotel thing... I might be able to see the devotional with Jordan singing in it next week as a recording. :)  ill look for him :) how is Kyle doin?  what's he doin with life now?  how's Billy?!?! :)  is he married yet;)  ha-ha  I sent the package Tuesday, it's a big box weighed 24 pounds and the guy said are you in a hurry to get it there I said no and he did just the standard mail thing.. will y'all text carol and tell her when you have it so I know as well?  I did get y'alls treats and the other elders can't stop eating the popcorn they love it and ask for some every time they come in :) let me know if there's anything I need to do to help with WSU. classes  going to temple tomorrow :):)  so happy!!!!!  haven't heard about baptizing Gary yet ill ask today though :)   :):)   I love you too mom love elder weaver

Just called and he leaves at 7:58 Wednesday, should get his visa and passport from FedEx today :/ learning patience and having faith... So what was fight about and tell me about comp, how old, name where from, how long has he been out? Linsey work in admit at WSU said she would help get you all straightened out-Kyle still seemed she'll shocked to be back

honestly don't know... he hasn't said too much about it.  his name is elder Kimball from cedar hills Utah he's been out as long as me, he 20 and goes home same as me if not earlier, we don't know yet...   so she would help with classes??   ha-ha poor Kyle :)

So going to temple tomorrow does that also mean a zone meeting? What's up for this week? Still teaching Leighton? Anyone new?

yes zone training.  no we don't know about Leighton.... :/  and we have good people we are working with, but not too close to baptism...   I need my social security number for a thing for the churches health care act stuff, I thought I knew it but just want to make sure...

Hey there Elder Weaver!!! I sure hope you had a great week this week! What did you do on Monday? I've had a good week. Work and school is going well. I got together with two of my mission friends on Saturday night, Elders Deal and Decker, we are all from the same generation. We went to Javier's and then went back to Deals place and just chatted about our lives and about the mission. Well I sure love you buddy, keep working hard and enjoy what you are doing.
Love Jordan

Hiya Jace! When you meet your companion and get to know them do you ask their first names? :) are you always called elder weaver or sometimes Jace? My week was ok we played on Wednesday and lost to wahlquist 34-20 but we play them again this week for playoffs! Hoping to do better! Have a fantastic week! Love you
-Jax

well glad you had a god week!  on Monday we emailed then we went shopping then walked around the mall with the elders in the other ward all day. it was kinda boring... I think I remember Decker... didn't he come home with you same day and everything?  how was the food at Javier's?  I love you too Jordan. I hope you have another good week and take care,  love elder weaver

Jax man  so with your companions you'll eventually find out their first name, we are called Elder the majority of the time. only sister Ferguson calls me Jace when they come down as a family.  now you know what they do so you can come back at them this week!  keep working hard kiddo and I know you'll do great. love you buddy love elder weaver

dad, it has gone by very fast from last week.  so this week we met a guy on Marta who told us he's from Saturn, the planet,... :):)  oh this was good!!!  he goes on to tell us how we are crazy about this God stuff and how we want to become like him and return to live with him, when on Saturn all they think about is being regular humans and being here on earth to experience what we do and how we do it. He gave us his card and told us to look him up on the internet when we can, so when I get home we are going to see this guys videos. :) 

on a spiritual note, I was able to confer a new member to aaronic priesthood yesterday.  we were sitting on the side and a member comes over and says you elders need to sit up front for today  we need you. I thought ok object lesson using the missionaries, then the elders quorum president leans over and says do you know how to confer someone to the office of priest?  my eyes got huge.. I haven't done that yet so I found out how to and asked what his name was and his name is Johna Awenwie Akandje.... he's from Africa... I had to practice that in my head 100 times to make sure I knew how to say it, I thought afterwards how powerful that was for both me and him. to be able to act in the priesthood and to have him know and understand what it is. I thought about that for a long time yesterday and how it must feel to able to do the same thing but for your own sons.  thank  you dad for being able to do that for me in my life and lead by example.  I love you too dad  love your son elder weaver

Mom- I heard about jaxs game, they will come back and win it this week :) I can't believe how fast things are moving... Justin leaves soon and will be in a whole new culture again! ha-ha and snow.. :) ill print off his talk ill make sure of that. that's a lot of people, wow y'all get in early... I'll be try to start setting things up to see people and visit places. as far as hotels I have no idea... where are we going to stay the other nights? I'll start racking my brain of where to go and who to see. would y'all wanna go to the aquarium? there's also the football hall of fame museum here. I'll try to get some ideas. I'm not sure where to go for church.. ysa or Covington? that's what I'm torn between. so will be released on Monday? or have to wait?... I'm am always willing to go through the temple!! :):) we should be able to do that :) would y'all be willing to walk around Atlanta? I can show y'all the area I'm in now, there's a lot of cool things around. y'all tell me what you wanna do and I see that we do it. also we need to ride up and down the largest escalator in Atlanta :):) maybe twice ;) so we saw Leighton last night had a great lesson with him and he wants to start meeting again so keep praying if you would for that to happen, I love you too mom love elder weaver.

I have no opinion on hotels cause I know nothing about the ones here,,, sorry we can do a night in Athens and in Covington, that'd be fun :) I'll keep thinking of stuff

Dad-things are going good here in Atlanta.  we had a pretty good we accidently walked through a park where they were having Gay pride activities.... I will not say anymore about that event.....  we are having some e good things happen people are seeing us more often and are becoming more interested and wiling to learn more. so we are happy about that.  we just can't get anyone to church.... :/  its different working with people my own age... and sometimes I feel like I'm back at school myself and I'm late for class or practice and my stomach sinks...  but its good though we see a lot of football guys but none of them are too interested in talking to us so that's kind of a bummer...  oh did y'all send a package to Georgia state or Georgia tech??  just wondering.  ill keep praying for work to come through for you.  I am starting to feel like the Fremont game ... every day I'm exhausted when I go to bed... so I guess that's good.  thanks for the prayers  if I can do anything for y'all let me know.  I love you love elder weaver  

Mom-so I don't have too much time, since its Columbus day the library is closed and we are at the family history center but my computer wasn't working  so I just got on.... things are good I can't wait to go to the Ogden temple, no worries I'm not trunky ;)  glad to know things are going good in the ward as well at least with the high priests. :)   ya I heard about jaxs game sounds crazy!!! :) so how do we find out how much it costs to send the bike home?...   dinner sounds fun with grandma and grandpa. it's crazy how fast time flies when your super busy..I can't believe how fast this past week went. so what all needs to happen for me to be ready for school and football when I get home? as far as classes, and football. we are working with good things right now and we are hoping the best comes of it all. thank you for your prayers, I'll be praying for y'all as well. I love you mom and hope you have a good week love elder weaver 

ill be sending stuff home this week along with some other packages i'll send off to y'all to look through.  today we will probably just clean and maybe play some football with the other elders, the zone leaders are at the aquarium now so they aren't with us today... kind of a bummer...  how's Justin doin?  I can't think of anything in Halloween box... sorry 

I feel best saying Weber state...   I'll be praying for Justin I hope what I told him helps too.

Hey Jace! How was your week? Did you learn anything new? Next Sunday on the 19th is my farewell! Can you believe it?  I have to talk about faith, do you have any suggestions I could talk about or any advice? I feel like I need all the help I can get! Do you wish you had more time being on your mission? I had one really strong spiritual experience a while ago in sacrament meeting and since then I don't feel like I have felt this. Lately, any advice? I feel like Satan is really hitting me hard right now.. I feel lost.. I feel unprepared and I don't feel like I know why I'm going anymore.... I was going to write you a letter but I didn't think you were going to get it in time for my farewell I don't mean to throw all this on you... But I feel like I could trust and you could give me the best answer.. Hope all is well with you and that you finish out your mission the way  you want to! I miss you like crazy. You have no idea.. 

Love Justin 

On a happier note I clean the mustang and fixed the broken phone so when you get back you will basically have a new phone and the stang is still in good shape! Roy plays Bonneville this week on Wednesday! 

so as far as help with your talk, now would be a good time to use preach my gospel. in chapter six there is a section on faith alone and there scripture along with it. they can help pretty good and also using the bible dictionary, at least it helps for me when I'm studying. 

 I kinda do wish I had more time on the mission, but I also know that sooner or later my time will come to be home and I might as well be happy about it! :)  besides its all in the plan that god has for us. if you think about it nothing really changes from a mission to regular life again.  you still study the scriptures, we are still encouraged to do missionary work with our friends and family.  the only small difference is you don't wear the name tag on the outside, but its engraven in your heart, and you don't dress up every day. as far as having spiritual experiences, are you reading and praying like you should be?  what exactly are you looking for it to be an experience?   the best advice I can give you is to read your patriarchal blessing. it's from Heavenly Father and it's for you. Satan will always make you feel like you don't need to go or aren't worthy to go, and he can even help you forget why you wanted to go in the first place.  weigh the pros and cons about serving and not serving.. the pros for serving will 100% of the time out weigh the cons and also the pros of not serving.  think of the people you would be serving, the relationships you get to make with people in another part of the world, still our brothers and sisters.  Justin your leaving your family for 2 years so that others can be with theirs for eternity.   I will be praying for you and id invite you to pray as well for the strength and desire and understanding of serving a mission.  I love you dearly and would never lie to you about why you should or should not serve a mission. but until you serve yours you will understand the blessings and the significant role the gospel plays in our lives, you will but it'll take longer. 

as of right now I don't have anything else to say about that because I don't feel the need to and the spirit is telling me to let take this and what you will with it.  I love you and I miss you as well my friend. but when you get home think of all the time we will have together to share stories of the missions we served and also the life we are starting to live after the mission. 

don't give up on your dreams. I love you love elder weaver
