Transfer #2

Hey Family,

Well to sum up this week all I can say is "where did it go?" I don't feel like it should be Monday already but I'm happy it is. 

The baptism for Arol was changed about 3 or 4 times before we finally drew the line with  it and set it for 10:30 Saturday morning. It was a great baptism and the other ward that uses the building had a child of record baptism a half an hour before so they invited us to their lunch and we all had a great time. Arol was confirmed the next day in sacrament and given the Aaronic Priesthood in Priesthood meeting. 

Elder Kay and I were blessed to be in a three way companionship for a couple days. Elder Nuku's companion had an accident and had to have surgery and be on bed rest for a couple days so Elder Nuku came with us. Don't worry his companion has made a full recovery and they are both back to work in their area. 

Elder Nuku and Elder Lafo'ou got my camera.

We had district meeting Tuesday. Its was Sister Rechter's last one. By the way Sister Rechter is my missionary "mom" (that means she was the sister in the district who had been out the longest when I came in. For her last district meeting we had a huge feast after. We all made some dishes and brought them to share. We had a great time and I had a great feast. I better be carful though or else I'm going to start putting on some kilos. 

Last of all the transfer calls!!! ................ Elder Leatherow....... Will be staying in Girrawheen with Elder Kay for at least one more transfer. We only had two changes in our district one we expected due to Sister Rechter going home but Elder Tafilipepe leaving was totally unexpected. President Fife has said he wants to keep missionaries in an area for a long time so I don't expect to be transferred anytime soon. 

Well that wraps up my week. 

Hopefully I will have more time this week or at least feel like I have more time in the week.

Love,

Elder Leatherow 
A few photos of the week:
Its so hot and we can't afford real hats so we make our own.  For real it got up to 40 degrees C!  (104 degrees F)

The Balajura District!

A member gave us some prawns (giant Shrimp) to cook up!

MOM:  I would have loved to taste those!
C: For me to prepare them and tolerate the smell was a small feat!  But I conquered it
DAD:  How many did they give you?
C: A lot ~ about 2 kilos!

Elder Kay was a little sick and Brother Reeday was taking no chances! It was hilarious!

Finally had my first meat pie down here!

MOM:  How is the ketchup in the land down under:
C: was weird at first but I am used to it now.

Colton has found a new obsession/addiction ~ he LOVES clothes, dress clothes to be exact!  He is having a great time!
