Hey mom! It is so good to hear from you! This week has been extremely insane and really rough for me. The language is progressing slowly..so that doesn´t always make things better. I am sticking with it though. I have been extremely exhausted at night! So I guess that is good knowing I am doing all that I can. I have found Thursdays to be my toughest days with missing home. Just cause I miss so bad laying at the bottom of your bed talking to you guys at night..I am making through and I know its not for to long.
That banquet sounds way fun though! I am so glad that all the people were so welcoming for ya! I am so glad to hear G´s team won though. You will have to keep me updated on the knee. I will be sure to keep all of them in my prayers every night. Colt cracks me up! Tell him to just make sure cause its a huge commitment and if he messes up this will effect him for years to come down the road, but I trust him and he will do fine. He is a great and very wise kid! I am glad your doing good for the most part though mom!
This week we dropped some investigators - mom that was seriously so hard for me..to see someone just stop progressing and not want to find the truth, or to pick it apart and find excuses to have doubts..It makes me so sad inside and then makes me doubt myself like what else could I do...i don´t know..On a positive side we picked up two new investigators and one has a baptism date already! So we will see how that goes.
Well Mom I won´t keep ya took long; I love and miss ya like crazy!
I love you to the moon and back and then some,
Your son,
Elder Leatherow
Hey Dad!
Oh man!! That sucks I am sorry no one drew out! That will be fun to get out though and least some one kill something! I know I miss going out with you guys and all the talk and hype about the season to come. That sucks about the deke situation, dad I am so sorry. You will have to send me pictures. That is positive about geese numbers though hopefully they will knock them dead this year!
I don´t really workout, I play soccer every P-day for about 2 hours or so and that is about it. After walking all day up and down streets that remind me of that steep hills in Salt Lake; I am dead!! i know that is lazy of me but I am. There isn´t a whole lot of members there is only about 70 or so. We had to drop three investigators this week and that was extremely hard for me. To see someone just stop progressing and not acknowledge the truth when in the lessons the spirit is so strong! It was really hard and extremely sad! On a positive note we picked up two new ones and one already has a baptism date! Well Dad I hope your week goes good! I love ya!
Love your son,
Elder Leatherow

Hey buddy! I am sorry to hear about the knee that is rough.. Keep strong though it will all work its self out for sure keep me in the loop though. That sounds like this coming hunting season is going to be total blast! try and kill some for me k? You will have send me pictures. Tell Colt he looks like a total stud in his homecoming pictures for me by the way too! My companions are way cool they are both from Utah. The language is coming..keep up with the school work though and when I get home I will teach ya some more phrases and stuff. The food is good for the most some things are straight gross but that is okay. It is a pretty rough place down here but some people are really nice others are just like back home. Well buddy keep up the great work back home and helping the family with anything. I love you so much and very proud of the person you are turning into!
Love your bro,
Elder Leatherow
Another great week for Elder Leatherow. As you can see his letters going back and forth between him and his dad and brothers all revolve around the hunting season. This is going to be the test of faith for all my guys. With the help of a loving Heavenly Father they will get through the next couple of hunting seasons and will have a hunt full of memories come September 2015. Please continue to pray for missionary opportunities not only for the missionaries serving around the globe but for the little missionary moments for all of us.
Brothers by birth; Friends by Choice!
