Good Bye MTC

My bus leaves here at 1 in the afternoon and then my flight takes off at 5:37 that night. I will have 3 hours in the airport in Mexico to get through customs and what not so I would like to give you guys a call or something if that is possible I know I can reach mom hopefully others, I would call at around 2:30 or so if I could. I will email a more detailed email tomorrow about my last week. Tonight I am packing and weighting everything and getting my flight papers and what not. I love and miss you guys! Have a great night and I hope your Sunday has been great!!!

Love,

Elder Leatherow

Well this week has seriously been crazy! It has been a wild roller coaster ride. Between getting flight plans figured out, packing, weighing in our lugage, saying our goodbyes, learning and last minute things, etc. It has been wild and I have loved every second of it, I honestly can't believe that I am already leaving this place. The time is flying by! 

Yesterday was a day I will never forget though..It was fast sunday so people got to bare testimonies and it was truly remarkable and I loved to hear everyones testimony and see how they have grown in just this last six weeks. 

We also decided to set some time aside to give comfort blessings to anyone who wanted one in our distric and in the end we all recieved one. I got the privilege to exercise my priesthood power for two elders who had asked me earlier in the week if I would. I was so honored but so freaking nervous to give them cause that was my first time experiencing that.  I literally can't began to explain to you the power and the spirit that was felt in that room at that time . It was incredible! As I was saying the prayer I don't even remember what I said all I know is I felt the spirit and it took over from there. It was a feeling that I would love to feel all the time, and something I ca't wait to get others to feel that way themselves. 

That night we said our goodbyes because people took off way early this morning, so that was hard seeing people that I have became so close with leave, but I know that are about to embark on their journey and blessing so many lives in their mission!

I hope you guys have a great day out riding and get to see some wildlife, enjoy that time away from everything because I know I sure do miss it so much! I love you all so much and thank you all for your love and support as I decided to serve our Lord. You guys are the best family ever! Be safe while out on the trail!

Love,

Elder Leatherow

Nothing makes a family's heart happy like seeing his smiling face ~ enjoy! …remember to see the photos up close and personal simply click on them.  

Another visit to the temple

This is of my district and my two teachers 

for the past six weeks

This guy, Elder Berryhill, was like my bestfriend down here. We seriously were so much alike it was crazy; he really helped me stay sane and get through the MTC Experience. He is a great guy! There is also a parrot in this one; all you can see is the butt.. its the green tail poking out. It was so cool to see them flying around every where!

when I got my package! It was seriously like Christmas morning!!!!!!!!

The branch leaders, they would conduct our meetings on Sundays and interviews with them about how things were going while here at the MTC.

The people in my house weren't in my district so it was cool to get to know more people and stuff. There is an Elder in there named Wilcox and he hunts and we have exchanged emails and will be keeping in contact after the mission to go hunting!  He is way cool and he is from Layton so not to far way!

Me and Elder Taylor

Even though Wes has dropped the lbs; he is still smiling.  He is still loving serving our Heavenly Father.  I continue to pray for his health and pray that he will not wait a FULL week to seek medical attention in the future.  Please keep the letters/emails filling is mailbox that is truly what gets him thru the days and long nights.  I will post his mailing address once I have that.  Thank yo all for your love and support for our missionary and for us.  

Love you to the moon and back Wesman.
