Dear Family,
I never thought that it would happen, but the past couple nights I have gotten a little bit chilly here, in my new area! I am about 2 hours away from my old area by van. My new area is called Ilobasco, San Misente. It's way different than my other area, it is half city and half country. Like the city is full of little shops and the fast life, the country is like desert and cactuses and cowboys and what not so its way different but I am liking it slowly. Its way nice to get away from the heat and what not for a little bit too.The crazy part is I got another GRINGO!!!! What the heck?!?! what are the odds? I mean really!! The even crazier part is he has had only one more change than I do, so we know spanish some what and when you combined our spanish it is almost whole! So they are really feeding us to the wolves!! He is from Mesa, Arizona, His name is Elder Lloyd.
My new ward or you can say branch because its not big enough to be a ward has about 50 members that showed up yesterday, and that is a normal amount. So there is a lot of work to be done here, from working these past couple days here I can see that its an extremely rough area and people just don´t want to listen, they are very well off here, so they are prideful and that is a really big issue when it comes to trying to teach someone the gospel. I know with faith and lot of prayer and work and work and more work we can start to get things going though!
How was everyones Thanksgiving? Did you eat enough for me too? We did not celebrate it here which makes sense of course, but boy did I miss it!!
Coltgirl, dude I am so freaking stoked you are going out on all these dates and what not! The movie thing you will have to remember it and we will watch it when I get home together!
I am really sorry to hear about the whole Amandi situation. Honestly, I am going to tell you what I would do and from learning this from working with people on a daily basis. I would give her three strikes sounds like she has used at least one possible two already. But keep up and doing all that you can and keep inviting and working but after three strikes you drop her and wish her the best and then you pray like crazy that she is safe and doing good. I know its really rough but honestly its not going to do any good to keep trying something that doesn´t work, not just for her but for the family as well. I wish you guys nothing but the best and I am praying for ya and her daily. I love you guys keep up the great work!!
How is work going for you guys?? Is there anything I can do for you guys?? How is my littlest bro doing these days?? How are you mom and dad???
I am so glad to hear from the relatives every week like the Smuins, Josh and Jenn, and Grandma Jo. Thank you guys for writing every week. How was Disney Leatherows??
How is the new truck Smuins?? Chad I am not sure where I went wrong with you and you bought a Dodge..good thing I am not there or we would be having a serious talk. I wish you nothing but the best with that one, call my dad when it breaks down on ya!! (;
Well family that is about it for this week!
I love you all so much! Especially you mom to the moon and back and then some!!
Keep on going and enjoying the cold weather and the snow if it has started yet!!
Love you guys!!
Love,
Elder Leatherow
