He was already baptized.

Dear Home,

 

The Chapman family continues to get more and more interesting ever time I meet with them. We were talking with him and his family the other day and he told us, hesitantly, that he talked to his mother the other day on the phone. His was telling her that they started going to church again, she asked what church, he said the LDS church, she laughed a little and didn't say why. Then he said that his wife Rosa is getting baptized on the 9th of Feb., she began to laugh even harder and he wondered what was going on. She told him that he was baptized when he has 8 but doesn't remember it. So he might be a member and never knew. So we are looking for his records. He told us that he had never heard of the LDS church until about 2 yrs ago when he was in a translator thing in Iran speaking with some Arab's and someone that he had to translate for said he was Mormon. God really wants him and his wife Rosa in the church and has been working for a long time trying to bring them to it. They exclaimed to us that they love having us come over because every time life is going hard or something goes bad we somehow end up on their doorstep. Once it was right after Rosa's Dad died and another when there was speculation on his death. Once when their car broke down and didn't know what to do, we knew a member that could fix it. They were sick and didn't have any food, we showed up and contacted the Relief Society and they brought them food. Every time we leave they say they have a good feeling in them and feel that everything seems to stop and relax for a while and go smoother. Things and going great with them.

 

Also something crazy that happened yesterday was while we were at church a lady came off the street into the church building and asked for people to pray for her. A man sat her down in one of the rooms and called for the Bishop to come help him. He came to a lady that was completely naked asking for them to pray for her. A little awkward I would say. They called the cops and they came and got her after the Bishop gave her some cloths.

 

 I  moved too so send everything to the Mission Office in Glendale please and Thank you.

 

In the picture is a letter give to my companion and I from the daughters of the Chapman family, they are around 9, 11, and 12. This is the best letter I have ever gotten from anyone down here. They're the best.

 

I will try and write my siblings more and others less. Tell them the freight train is a coming. Also a suggestion for people is something that I have really fallen in love with. They are the videos for the youth on Moromnchannel.org they are really good. Some of my favorites are by Elder Holland, which I now know where lives. Near my companions home in Midway.

 

Love you all and hope that inspiration may come from within.

 

Love from the Hardt, Elder Leonhardt
