Well as you might of been able to read or guess it...I said goodbye to my area after being there for like 7 months so you can say that was a tough good bye but I have full trust in the Lord that He knows what He is doing and putting me some where so I can help someone receive the gospel. I have completely come back into the city and I am back in the capital basically in an Area called Soyapango. So it is a rather huge change up for me here being back in the city life and that I am in a ward now and not a branch. I have met the bishop though and man is he great and I am truly looking forward to working with him and the ward that is here. I am opening an area though so that is rough.
What does opening an area mean you might ask?? Great question cause this is my first time so we will learn together! (; Basically I am coming here with my new companion who has no idea as well and we are dropped off to find members and people to teach and where the church is at and all that fun stuff!!! So you can say I have my hands pretty full as of right now with a lot of work to be done to make this a thriving area but I am up for the challenge and I know with the Lord`s hand He will guide us through it all! It makes for long times on my knees pleading with the big man upstairs for help and to comfort us in this new area. just like it says in the 1Nephi 3:7 I will go and do the things which the Lord hath commanded me becauseI know that the Lord giveth no commandment is he shall preapare a way for him to accomplish the things which he hath commanded of them. So we will do just that, it has caused a lot more cautions though as i never have been asked by so many gangsters if I was a cop and if I had a quarter so they could go buy a drink but hey that's what makes the mission life so fun and never boring! Because the Lord is with us and he will protect us!
Well family I don`t have a lot to report besides that because we are starting out fresh and beginning from the ground up up! But just like mother always said Attitude determines Altitude, so we will stay positive and patient as we work and wait for those miracles from the Lord in His work here in Soyapango!
Well family I love you all so mucho and mother know that i love you to the moon and back and then some and hope and pray that you all have a great week this week!!
Con mucho amor
Elder Leatherow
