From the Land Down Under: Call of Shame

Hey Family,

Well this week was a good but busy. Elder Kay and I felt like we could not get anything done that we had planned to do each day but that is alright because as long as we follow the Spirit that is what the Lord wanted us to do that day. We had another lesson with our baptismal date. His name is Arol Jok he is from Sudan and is really excited for his baptism. He came to church yesterday and he really liked it and can not wait to come next week.

We had a lot of meetings again this week but it seems like we always do. After church we were invited to go to lunch at a members house. We were fed till we were about to explode! These polys are going to make me fat if the keep feeding me like this.

We met a young man that is 18 years old on the street the other day and set up a time to see him yesterday. His name is Braden he really wants to learn but in the middle of the lesson his friend who is the brother of a less active showed up and distrupted everything but we rolled with it and tried to keep things cool. I hope we will have another chance to sit down with him to teach him a little bit more.

On Saturday we went and did service for a lady who did not really ever take care of her yard so it was like a jungle!

We had a great time and were able to really clean up her yard. But I left the keys in the trunk of the car while I was getting something and Elder Kay shut the trunk so we were locked out ! We tried to get in as carefully as possible but when we realized it was not going to happen we made the phone call of shame to the assistants. They gladly came over with the spare set to let us into the car but they of course gave us some crap for locking the keys in the trunk.

We had another baptism in our district! Joe was baptized on Saturday. It has been great to watch him grow in the gospel and come to the knowledge of the plan Heavenly Father has for him.

It has been really weird weather wise down here some days are really hot and others are pleasant but I have been warned that this will not last long and I should prepare myself for the coming heat!

We have also found a man from the Philipeans. He is not eagar to learn about our church but wants to know more about Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ so we are taking it slow. I know that Heavenly Father can prepare his heart though and the Holy Ghost can testify to him that what we teach is true and that he can gain a greater desire to learn. Well the I hope you all are great and are loving Utah back home! I love you all!

Love,

Elder Leatherow

We enjoyed a BBQ ~ Elder Kay was the Grill Mater
