Did I tell you????


Dear Family,

So as you can see, I believe I left something out last week in the email that we had planned this past weekend that was freaking awesome!! We had a baptism!!!!!! WHAT?!?!? Yes, we finally got it, the guy is great, I will tell you his story, it is rather a miracle as to how it all happened.
So over a month ago I was on interchanges with an Elder and we went to visit some less actives and Rene(who was baptized) was there, he is family of them, and we taught them and got to know him and he told us he was a member and he would go to church. I didn`t think much of it but sure enough he was at church that following Sunday. The interesting thing is not one member there remembers him and he doesn`t remember them, so we started to get a little more suspious, so we looked up some records and we could not find them any where!!! So we talked to him about it and he was baptized but in another church he just remembers going to the church with his family who really are members. So soon as we figured that out we realized that he had a testimony we just had to help him reconnect with it and find it again, and in the water he went!!!! It was so great and he asked if I would do it!! It was so sweet and such a wonderful experience and such a humble man!! So we are very grateful for him and the Lord`s help in getting a baptism this change together with changes now on Wednesday its okay if we get split up cause we baptized together, Elder Marriott and I. So it was such an awesome day for us and we loved it so much!!!!! That is how my week went just getting Rene all ready and working with Assistants to the Presidente and Zone leaders doing interchanges with them and what not, learning so much out here it is so freaking great! So grateful for the mission and the time I get to be out here in the Lord`s vineyard! 
Well mother I love you to the moon and back and then some, I love you all so much and I hope you all have a great week!! 
Take care!!! 
Con mucho amor,
Elder Leatherow
