Nuevo compañero

Bendito mi Familia,

Well this week was a good week a lot of things were thrown off with the holiday at the first of the week but that is okay, we just rolled with it and did what we could! Then we woke up early Wednesday morning so I could go get my new companion.

Okay so I have a pretty crazy story about my companion and a new Elder who came to the mission. So there is an elder here I am not sure what his name is I can`t remember sorry, but he came up to me and was like you look really familiar, and we got to talking and he graduated this year from Weber High school, so I told him I had friends from Weber and stuff and that I played soccer and then I told him I had family in North Ogden and he asked who, and then he said a lady named Barbra. And I was like that is my great grandmother!!!!! He told me that he would take the Sacrament to her like every week!! So that was so cool so he gave me an update on her, have you guys been up to see her??? If you do go please tell her that I said hello and that I love her!!! I wish I would of went to see her before I came out here so hopefully she can hold out just a little bit longer. But with my companion we had a meeting before to talk a little more about training and to help the new Elders who came in and they had us go pick a new Elder sit by to help them, because our Presidente can`t speak english and with some of them being white(11 out 13) were greengos!(; So I went and sat by one and helped him and what not and long story short he ended up being my companion!!!

Elder Marriott, he lived in Tacoma, Washington State his whole life and then three monthes before he came out on the mission his family moved to Beaver, Utah. He is great but of course like all normal white people they are tall, so I look like a little kid with him(; It is good though he is great, I don`t feel I am training him he came pre-trained!!! He is great, he is learning so fast! I am learning so much as welll! I am so blessed to have him as a companion and I am looking forward to the next coming weeks with him. 

We find some families yesterday that were awesome, and we had some of the most powerful lecciones it was truly great! The spirit was so strong! I am truly hoping that one of them will accept a fecha for Octubre and we can get them prepared for bautism!!! Well family that is all I have for ya this week! Good luck on Deer Hunt this week, can`t wait to see some monster Bucks!! 

I love you mom to the moon and back and then some!! 

I love you all and have a great week!!! 

con mucho amor,

Elder Leatherow

Meet Elder Marriott

Why can't I grow?

Dad: Man you're short. :) love ya bud

Wes: ya your telling me! Why did you give me these short genes?? (;

Dad:You get it from dale and josh

Wes: hahaha oh okay!!! (; Your not much taller than I am though(;  it is just funny the comments we get. Some times people can`t belive that I am a greengo cause I am short so sometimes I can tease them and say I am from Costa Rica, because they are super light skinned.
