The New Do




Leah got a new haircut and she is just as adorable as ever.
Her letter snippet:
The work is moving forward as always. A girl named Josselyn is getting baptized this weekend. Basically all the sisters in the entire mission are very excited about it. Iinitially her parents were completely against it. It took a few months (like 6 or more?) for them to agree that she could be baptized, but in a year (so in September 2010). Then in April her mom came with her to general conference and really enjoyed it. They decided she didn't have to wait any longer to be baptized. A lot of miracles had to happen along the way, but now she will be baptized this Saturday at 4pm.
