Happy Fathers Day

Dear Family,

First things first, I need to wish the best dad in the whole wide world a HAPPY FATHERS DAY!! Thaks dad for being the best day and the best role model for me, you are awesome and I couldn´t of asked for a better father!!! I hope Sunday treated ya good and you had a great day!!! Also happy fathers day to all other fathers that are my uncles, or grandpa or cousins. 

Second the weather here...well its weather in El Salvi you never know when its going to rain you just know its going to rain at some point in the day! Some days we get lucky and its the end of the day other days not so lucky and it turns into perfect duck hunting weather! 

G-Ray what the freak bro?!?! Football already?!?! Dang where is the time going!! I can´t wait to hear the stories bro and hear about all the Sacks you are about to have this year!! Tear it up bro!!!!!!

This week was good for us here is Usulutan! We got a part of our area taken from us because its far away and they want us to focus closer, so that made it tough because we lost a family, that were literally more ready and prepared by the Lord than any other family or person I have found here. They even came to church this week and they are over half an hour in bus and then 15 minutes or more walking! They even asked when I would come back to teach them more! So it was so hard to say we can´t, we are trying to get members to go teach them for us and what not and then check on their progress every week at Church and what not so we will see what happens.

I went and taught a family that seriously is in the middle of no where  - I have to cross to large fields that open fields where cattle are, and go under barpwire fences to get to them, and the funniest thing happened. This kid who is the son come and sat and listend to us while we were teaching the dad, he asked the dad for a quarter probably to go buy a treat or something and the dad said no. So after a couple minutes of thinking the dad would change is mind, and he didin´t he went into the house and came out with a sling shot in his hand and left into the field and trees and then came back about 20 minutes later. Right as we were leaving I turned to see him walk up and he had killed an Iguana and came back to eat it! I watched him skin it and then cut it up! It was so freakking awesome!!!!!!! He then asked if I wanted some! It was so funny! The igauna wasn´t huge it was only about a foot and half long but the tail it like 8 inches of it. I didn´t eat it cause we didn´t have time to wait for it to cook but I told him next time I come I will bring my camara and I want him to go kill another one and I want a picture with him and the Iguana! It was so cool!! It's probably my biggest temptation is not to go hunting for iguana with the kids here!!! The things in El Salvi folks!!! You have got to love it!! 

Well that is about all the stories I have for ya this week, I love you mom to the moon and back and then some! 

I love you all so much and thank you for your support and love while I am out here serving the Lord! 

Take care and I hope you all have a great week and enjoy the cool weather!!!

Con mucho amor,

Elder Leatherow

Also, Do you know your release date next year? I am wanting to plan something for when you get back and before Colton leaves, but need to know the window that I have .
Thanks Bud. Love Ya

Wes: Ya but its not for sure or anything its just a idea of when you will leave. Mine is 14 of July but who really knows, its still so far out I don´t think about it. 
DAD: It is a long ways out. But I am excited to see you
WES: I am way excited to see you guys too, probably will wonder who I am with how fat and the beard I will be able to grow!
DAD: I am tryin to put together an ATV ride in a couple of weeks with moms family. I hope that we can make it work
WES: where to?!?! That should be fun well dad I have to go I love ya and take care this week, go to the doctor and check yourself out!!

WES: Hey mom! How is the head feeling today?? Better I hope!
MOM: All better ~ I believe as silly and stupid as this may sound but I believe I had a piece of popcorn stuck in my tooth and it was giving me a toothache/headache but once I was able to get it out I felt so much better!

Thanks for checking on me ~ you are so thoughtful. 

 WES:Good I am so glad to hear that you are doing better it brings me a lot more relief thats for sure!!! (:   How was your week mother???

MOM:It was fantastic!  No complaints ~ the weather has been fantastic.  Cool, sunny and just perfect.  In fact a bit on the cooler side.   How about you!

WES:Good I am so glad to hear that! Pretty good, I would have to say I only got completely soaked one time this week the other times were just a little bit so I would say good! (:

MOM:  Rain and possible snow in the higher elevation; yep.  It is really been a crazy weather pattern.  We have only used our A/C three times….

WES:What the Heck?!?! Send me the AC then(; I sure could use it!!!!! Even with all the rain its still so hot!

MOM:I bet you could. We think about you ALL the time when we start to complain about the heat we catch ourselves and think about  you and all the other missionaries serving around the world.  Even Josh in Texas is SWEATING

 WES:ya its horrible but its all good!! I did get a way bad heat rash this past week though so that was so gross!!! 

MOM: Heat Rash!  YUCK.  Would you like me to send you some powder in your package?  I will be sending you your “hump” day package in the next week….
