It sounds like you've had a blast the last few weeks. I'm glad you were able to have fun.  I'm glad to hear that she is doing well. That is a good little test to see how they would do with out you the nights you stayed with dad. She said in her email how grateful she was to have you there and how helpful you were. She said, "Our mom is an amazing woman" and I would have to agree. I am so grateful that I have such amazing and fantastic parents! I don't know what I would do with out you two! Thank you for the pictures I am excited to get those. That's fun that the Quincenaria was perfect timing for you being up there! The dress was amazing! I was so impressed, that's awesome that you were able to see the Lord's hand in helping you with it. I love seeing the Lord's hand in all aspects in our lives even the ones when we would least expect it. That's fun you were able to drive home with Kay and Eileen! I'm sure that was an enjoyable car ride home. How are they both doing? Well I told dad about the Baptism being post poned and nothing new getting better about our companionship. I really feel like this whole transfer has been a waste, but I was able to have some great study time and find out how patient I can be, and what my limits are and when I break. Not fun. Transfer calls are this weekend so I will find out Saturday if I am staying in Peoria or not. We'll see what happens. I wouldn't mind staying another transfer, just with different companions. But we'll see what the Lord has in store. I love you so much! I'm glad you have had fun and that you are back home safe and sound. I hope you have a great week! Love, Leslie

Daddy!
Yay! I'm sure it's a relief to be home finally! Did you fly home?  I'm sorry that one of your trainees decided to start being immature and acting like a 5th grader, that's not fun! Hopefully it didn't rub off on the others! I am excited to see pictures of Logan and everyone and also to get your tape. Thank you for having everyone talk on it, it will be fun to hear! That's great that you picked Noah's ark to send this week I just started the Old Testament yesterday so I am reading about Noah's ark this morning! Perfect timing! That will be very exciting to have the city of Enoch return. The city of Enoch has been quite the topic of discussion for us lately. We have been discussing where it was. One of our recent converts was asking about how the Garden of Eden was in the America's and why the rivers are named the same thing as in the middle east so we have been talking about how Noah was probably in the America's but when the flood happened ended up over there, but in the mean time how did the Gulf of Mexico happen? Just a random chunck missing. It was an interesting specualtion. Don't worry we didn't say all of that to our recent convert, just on the ride home from the appt. Things this week have been pretty rough between our companionship, but we find out on Saturday who's leaving and coming and all that fun stuff. It will be interesting to see what happens. I could see it going either way me either staying or leaving. Bob's baptism ended up getting postponed. His fiances son in law pasted away last monday and so she wasn't able to fly out for the baptism. We have met with him a lot this week and talked even more about the Plan of Salvation and he is doing well. So the Baptism is going to be this weekend. This transfer has gone fast and yet seemed like forever at the same time. I am really starting to lose patience. I went in the room and cried and prayed for a long time yesterday, in all honesty my strength and patience is gone, I don't know how I am going to make it through this next year. I know if I do my part Heavenly Father will help me, I just don't know how much I can do anymore. Hopefully with this next transfer things will get better. I am trying to stay positive! On the other hand my studies have been great lately. I finished the Book of Momon this week and started the Old Testament and I am very much enjoying. So I hope things are going well for you and that you are readjusting just fine with being back to work and home after 2 weeks! I love you daddy! Love, Leslie
