The BEST FAMILY EVER!! (his words)


Dear Family,

I hope that everyone is doing better this week, and are able to get back into the routine of things and that you have been able to feel your Heavenly Fathers love that he has for each one of you! I thank you all for your love and support you have shown me this past week. I have felt it and it means a lot! You need not worry, I am doing good and am working harder than ever!!
This week was another week in the mission field, between fighting off wild beast with a bamboo stick, or trying to find people to teach and share this great blessing that the Lord has given to all that are willing to accept and follow His Will! 
We had changes this past Wednesday, but we lucked out and we get another change together in our area!! Which I am so happy and blessed about, because I didn`t want to change and I don`t want a new companion! Elder Hernandez is freaking great!! We get along so well, and we both enjoy the work which makes it so nice!! As my spanish is progressing we can make jokes and tease each other and understand one another, which is when the work really gets fun and interesting! He is a huge blessing in my life, and I have already learned a ton from him. We are planning on baptizing a family of 5 this month, which is going to be great, and the family is awesome!! The will be such a great family to have in the Branch here in my area. 
How is everyone doing? With work, school, sports, etc. I want to hear it all! 
I love you all so freaking much and miss ya like crazy but the time is flying by and I will be home before we even know it and then I will have bigger problems! But I still got time that I need not think about that. How is the weather? Seeing lots of rain or even snow I hope?!?! 
I know that this is the true church; the Church of Jesucristo! That our Savior lives and He knows how each one of us feels and knows what we need and He is there for us! Please don`t any of you think you are alone because we are never alone, He is alaways there, and He wants us to ask Him for help! All we need to do is get on our knees and ask Him in prayer and He will listen and answer our prayers! I know that this is where I need to be and even though it is tough, that I am so blessed for this mission and that I am learning here! I leave this with you in el nombre tu hijo Jesucristo, Amen.
I love you all so much, and I love you mom to the moon and back and then some!! 
I hope you all have a great week, and enjoy yourselves!!
Con mucho Amor!
Su hijo, amigo, jungle Missionary,
Elder Leatherow

Tom was able to chat with Wes for just a minute this week:
DAD:That is so awesome that you and your comp get to stay together. What kinds of beasts are you fighting off? Do you get to eat it?
Love Ya
Wes: Wild dogs, cats, lizards, you name it  -  I kill it!!!
