Cowboy Baptism

Monday January 28, 2013

Hello Family

This week has been very weird and the next 4 will be very hectic. We went through transfers and neither I or my companion left but we got reassigned to a different ward. A bigger ward. We now cover an area that is about 6-7 miles long and 4-5 wide and we don't technically live in our area oh and we are on bikes. Not that I'm complaining about it but because we spend so much time riding from place to place that I feel like we don't get to do as much and talk to as many people.

We soon will have to move in with some members that live even farther from what we are doing so work will be even harder. But if there is a will there is a way and I hope I have a will.

We had a baptism this past Friday that was one of the most powerful ones I've been apart of. His name is Micheal Fellman and he's a Cowboy. It was very, interesting, to say the least when he went under the water you could feel the power of that ordinance. It was seriously like being hit by a wave. We had a couple guests there, Rosa and Brett Chapman and there kids. The Spirit that was felt in there was so strong that Rosa couldn't hold back the tears and Brett was blown away by it. They are both getting ready to be baptized on Feb 9th.

I don't have much to say today. I feel that I have written 30 letters and received 4 but I understand how that goes so soon I will just stop writing those that send me cards and have you tell them thanks for me and that I am grateful for their support. I will make a list of people to mail and so far who I think will be on it will be you (mom), Tyler Fish, Zachery Caldwell( someone from the MTC), Dad and Collette and which ever one of the siblings want to write me not email me. I've made a binder and I am trying to fill it up will letters but so far not much is getting in there. I love you mom and family and hope all is going well.

Sincerely with love Elder Leonhardt
