July 22, 2013 Taking an interest in learning to play piano and guitar.

This week we have been having a lot of storms in the area which is really nice. The other day it was 75 outside at noon. We put some of the weather in a jar for a hot day to come. There was one storm that came at the perfect time during sunset where you could see tons of lightning in the clouds as well as a nice sunset shining off of them. It was one of the coolest things I have ever seen, and I have seen a lot back in my teens. I can make that joke now! So I realized something weird this week and I am a little nervous how I would overcome it. One of our rules on a mission is that we can only shake peoples hands unless they are of the same sex, then you can hug but that's just weird. Its been a long time since I have had a hug and the other day an Elder gave me one and I felt uncomfortable. I am now afraid of the flesh. I don't like people touching me. I have lost my mind. I am becoming what Aaron (my brother) warned me about and now there is no going back. I don't think I will ever be normal again. Anyways enough about my social problems.

Not a whole lot of interesting stuff has happened this week. I think I am going to try and learn the piano on my own soon and maybe the guitar. I practice at church before meetings and a member is giving us a guitar to use for a little while and my companion plays. One of the elders that we live with is obsessed with movies and especially the superhero ones. So on Sunday a member came up and told us about the new superman movie that they are releasing in 2015 with batman in it. We waited till the night to bring it up. We primed the pump and got him all rilled up then told him. He was so excited that he couldn't sleep. He talked about it with us for most of the night. Well I hope all is well and may everyone be safe. I miss you all.

Love Elder Leonhardt

                                                                   Good bye hair.

                                                                       It tickles.

                                                                     Feeling cooler.
                                                        
                                   
                                                    Feeling like a sheared sheep.

                                                    He can even cut hair without looking.
