Hey Family,
Well this last week and a half has been good but I can honestly say adjusting to having a P-Day on Wednesday has been tough because it has shifted everything we do around for the week and plus the rest of this week looks to be full of meetings so it will be busy. That is okay because I love it when I have busy days!
So I have some great news then some really sad news that goes with it so be ready for a rollercoaster. We received a referral from another set of Elders a few weeks ago. We have been trying really hard to contact him; we were finally able to and we were able to teach him the Restoration and invited him to be baptized.... He accepted and we set a date for the 23rd of January. We were really excited but about 20 minutes after we left we received a text message from him informing us that his parents would not allow him to meet with us anymore and that he was not going to be able to be baptized. This was hard to hear and wrap my head around because he is 18 years old and should be able to make his own decisions but becasue of his culture (African) he still really does not have a say on that type of thing until he has moved out. It was a pretty hard blow to take. But we got through it and pushed on.
On Monday we had a family home evening to go to with the the YSA of the ward. It was really fun and we were able to have a great lesson with them and the other Elders (Mirrabooka Elders) investigator was even there so it was a great opportunity. Did I mention that this fellow is getting baptized this Saturday!
Other than that my week was pretty normal knocking doors and contacting and teaching lessons.
I hope you all have a great week and that you all are safe on those snow covered roads. ( By the way I am really jealous of the snow that you guys got I miss it)
Love you all!
Love,
Elder Leatherow
