Hey Mom,
Wow!! you guys have a really busy week ahead of yourself. The temple was absolutely incredible!!! I loved every second of it!! That is not good news about Garett though... hopefully it isn´t anything to serious..but that is a huge compliment from Big Mike! He deserves it!
Logan is a great kid!! That is crazy he is a senior! I sure do miss him! Hopefully he isn´t getting into to much trouble.
That is so freaking exciting for Josh!!! I am so excited & I can´t wait to hear about all the great success he will have. He is a great man, and he will serve the Lord well!!
Sounds like a busy day at the Leatherow house with moving G and Colt. I belive it though I have known those two for a while and they will keep anything!!
Its kinda the same old same old here..just a lot of studying and reading scriptures and doing what missionaries do! The days seems to drag but the weeks fly, I mean I have to 2 weeks and I will be in El Salvador mom!! That is freaking nuts; seems like I was just saying bye at the airport and stuff!
The package came yesterday but its at the Mexico post office so the lady has to go get it and who knows when that will be...have you recieved my letter yet?!?!
Well mom I love you so very much and thank you for this opportuntiy that you have helped me achieve, of being able to serve our Heavenly Father!
Love you always and forver!!
Elder Leatherow
Hey Dad,
The days here have been kinda dragging but the weeks are really starting to fly by! I know it is crazy to me that I will be El Salvador in 2 weeks - that blows my mind!!!
The temple last week was incredible!! I didn´t understnad much but the spirit was still felt and it is a beautiful temple too! It is huge!!!!
That is freaking awesome about Garett I am so proud of him!! I knew he wouldn´t let his team down he such a huge leader and a key player and he doesn´t even know it!! Tell him congrates and keep up the the great work!! Same goes for the Smuin boys! Hopefully this is a good sign for a great season to come! I am so proud of all of them! Man I wish I could of been there to watch him play I sure do miss watching him kick some butt!
My experience for the Leatherow side would have to be when you dressed up like Santa Clause for the kids at Dale´s house and the seeing some of their faces light up and others just wanting to cry because they were so scared. Also how we all were together before we all grew up and have headed our different ways. Just having BBQs every weekend was awesome too!! But I really enjoy that experience a lot!!
For the Heil side its when we go there for Christmas and it was the year you made Marshmellow guns for all us kids and how mad Grandpa & Grandma got about that, but they couldn´t be too mad because it was Christmas and becuase an Adult gave us the gift and said we could go outside and shoot them at each other!! That was a great moment!! And One I will never forget!!!
I go to the gym like 3 times a week the rest of the days I play soccer with the other elders. I don´t see Elder Taylor much just 'cause we are on completely different schedules, but Elder Arrington is in my Branch and is in the same building for studying as me so I see him all the time!! Which is pretty cool!! Well Dad I hope you have a great week and don´t work to hard!!!
I love ya!

The city life
Finally we reach out destination; Mexico City Temple
I love the yellow tie and the smile on his face ~ makes this momma's heart happy
Weston shared his testimony about temple and temple work with me and I would like to share it all with you:
Well while I am waiting for my companion I thought I would email ya more and tell ya about the temple..have you and dad had the chance to make it back since my endowment??? I literally love the temples so much!!! Like the feeling I get the moment I walk onto those grounds knowing this is the house of the Lord and you can feel His spirit so strong. They are beyond beautiful they are like the most beautiful thing I think man can build with the help of God. Getting to do a session for a fellow brother was awesome, so he can now have the opportunity to partake of this wonderful gospel and be that one step closer to living with our Heavenly Father for eternity is such a neat thing! We are truly blessed to recieve that opportuntiy to go and partake of that whenever we would like as long as we are worthy temple recommend holders! The moment you pass through that veil it is so cool to just be away from everything and just ponder and think about the life to come and how great that truly is and that feeling we will get that all the time!! I know lives get busy sometimes and we can´t always make it happen but if you could go like once a month I promise you, you would never regret it! I am sad to say that, that could be my last visit for two years..so please I encourage you to take advantage of the opportuntiy to go when you guys can!
I love you so much mom! I am grateful that through temple work we are to be together for an eterntiy as a family and I wouldn´t want it any other way!!! I love you to the moon and back and then some!
In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen
Of course missionaries must have fun as well….
We thought it would be funny to tie our ties short and go around saying "short ties baptize!!!" (;
MTC humor; its dry but you got to love it!
And that is week four in a nut shell from the cutest missionary headed to El Salvador. Love you to the moon and back, Wesman! You are truly our family's hero.
