Sister Kiera Leavitt

Dear Family and Friends! What a week I have had here. We have got mocked, made fun of, laughed at, doors slammed in our face and a lady yelling at us to get off her doorstep. And to top it off I have lost my voice but that doesn't stop me from proclaiming the message of the gospel! We have also seen so many miracles this week as well. After starting our night off strong in cottage by being Bible bashed we headed to Eugene to hand out Books of Mormon at the Book of Mormon play. What a fun experience! We walked down the sidewalks passing out books as people laughed at us and as they quoted jokes from the play....haha not funny. Some of the people kept telling us to come out of charter. Anyways I have never been so outgoing in my life! We walked with people and smiling just being super excited and telling people the "Book is always Better!"  Over the course of the days we handed out 3000 Book of Mormons! It was pretty neat to see the desire in peoples eyes of t...

Sister Bodtcher and I  Hey Family!  The beginning of the week we had exchanges with the Brookings sisters. I was with Sister Bodtcher and we had alot of fun together. It was good to be able to talk to her about goals in life and the next step. On our drive back to North Bend we stopped by and saw our senior couple the Williams. The Willams actually served a mission with Brenda and Ron Myers from my home ward. They know him the same way I do as the racoon man. Lol  I guess Ron carried a Raccon around with him in his mission.  Elder and Sister Williams  On Wednesday this week we were doing morning excerise and I twisted my foot pretty bad.  I attempted to "walk it off." Lol But when I got back to the apartment I couldn't walk at all. After studies I finally called the Nurse and after much icing and elevation I went into the doctors. They did an xray and thankfully my foot is not broken. I was told to not walk on it for a few days which was ...

The hotel apartment (my 18 month mark day Nov 17) Hey Family and Friends! It's been a pretty eventful week. I have been out on my mission now for 18 months! It's crazy at the beginning of the mission you never think the day will come. It's been a Fantastic week. This week was my last Zone conference. Sister Denison and I were asked to teach about setting goals! We decided to take a cooking theme and bake muffins one with extra salt not following a recipe and one with a recipe. We need plans to get the right outcome. It was probably one of the best teaching statements I've ever done at zone conference. Although we didn't have much time to prepare the Lord lead us to what we needed to do and say.  When it is your last Zone Conference, President Orton usually asks you to share your testimony. I had no idea what I was going to say but when President Orton asked me to go and a scripture instantly flew through my mind. "Submit cheerfully to all the ...
