Happy Father's Day! June 19, 2017

Sis Datwyler, Sis Leavitt, Elder Willits, Elder (Companion)
Dear family and friends, 
This week was pretty good. On Tuesday we went and did service at the Lutheran giving Garden. We dug up a bed and planted new beans to grow. They give all there food to local food banks. It was great to meet new people and help the community. I loved gardening plus I've been studying a lot about faith this week so each seed I planted I kept thinking about different scriptures about faith. One thing I loved is faith produces miracles. So as long as we continue to have faith we will continue to see miracles! 
The fruit and vegetables are so good here most are home grown too. The members feed us pretty well
We do a lot of finding here right now, trying to grow our teaching pool. We found two new investigators this week and I am so excited to go back and teach them. 
We taught Ed again this week and I enjoy teaching him. He always has great thoughts and a new perspective. Huge progress he said he accepts the Book of Mormon to be true because they line up with the stories his grandfather use to tell him. I also asked him about baptism this lesson and he said he will once he gets an answer from the great spirit to do so. He is such a good man! 

Thursday was zone Conference and it was so fun to see all the missionaries. I met the other Sister Leavitt and saw Elder Willits and Sister Wilson. I was looking for Sister Brown but she was not at that conference. Hopefully I will run into her eventually. Zone conference was great we studied parables and miracles of Christ. I read a few from Jesus the Christ. If you haven't studied much about Christ and his life I challenge you all to do so. We can learn something though his teaching but also in the way he taught. 

Sunday was very fun! The speakers were amazing and the men in the ward all got up and sang Armies of Helaman. They did a different version then I have heard before but it was so neat to see them all get up and sing. I am so grateful for the priesthood holders in the church who are worthy and help build this gospel. I just want to take a brief moment and thank all the fathers and grandfathers for their hard work and example to me! 
One of the greatest example of a father is our Father in Heaven and he love each and everyone of you so much! He loves us each so much that he provided a plan for us to have our agency and provided away back to him through the atonement of Christ. Christ would go though the atonement just for you to be able to make the decision to choose to come back to him. 
I love you all so much. Hope you have a wonderful week!
Love Sister Leavitt 

Mom!
I love the pictures it looked like you had a ton of fun on the kayaks. The river looked beautiful. This week outside my apartment there were a ton of turkeys and baby ones too! Also the deer just walk around close by too. It kinda reminds me of the cabin because it smells like pine trees all the time. How was your week? I heard dad had tooth surgery. I love you so very much and hope all is well. Please let me know how you are doing. 
Love you lots 
Love 
Sister Leavitt

THE CALL TO DUTY!

Sister Kiera Leavitt has always wanted to serve a mission! Kiera was blessed as an infant to serve a mission and her Patriarchal Blessing mentions several times about serving a mission.  When the age for girls was lowered, Kiera was ready to go even though she was still years away from age eligibility! She has planned and worked for it intently over the last 3 years.  She set a goal to finish Cosmetology school after graduation from Snow Canyon High School in May 2016.  She very seldom missed a day of school because she knew that she would have to make it up and that would extend her time further to be finished as well as possibly costing her more money if she happened to go over her time limit (in which she never even came close to! But she wasn't going to take any chances!) Kiera graduated from Hairitage Hair Academy in November 2016. Her plan was to work about 6 months so that she would have enough money to support her own mission.  So off to work at Fanta...

Zone Temple Trip Family and Friends!  Lots to catch you up on. Hope I can remember everything I did. We have stayed super busy and we are not slowing down. This transfer is just flying by.  So on the 6th we had MLC. Which stands for Missionary Leadership Council. It was my first time going and it was so much fun!!! So many of my past companions were there, like Sister Allred and Sister John! We were able to council all togther of how to help the mission improve and what things we can do. What a huge blesisng it is to see that side of missionary work!  Sister Allred & Sister Leavitt One part I really loved about MLC was goal setting and planning. We talked about how we as missionariesare are really good at setting goals and making plans but we need to have a vision. It's the process of what why and how.  Vision --- why  Goals ---- what  Plans ---- how  A quote they shared that I really loved was "Leadership is the capa...

Zone conference! Sept 19, 2017

Dear Family and Friends!   This week was such a spiritually uplifting week. On Thursday we went to zone conference where Elder Scott D Whiting and Elder Adilson De Paula Parrella of the seventy came and spoke to us. They allowed us as missionaries ask what ever questions we might have.  Some things I really enjoyed from the talks was  "it's only after pondering that you receive revilation" we need to practice pondering so we allow the things we learn to sink in and allow revilation to come.  Have you ever been in a conversation where someone talks to you and asks you for advice or questions but they don't allow you time to answer or talk?  Are we allowing the time in our prayers for Heavenly Father to answer us or are we just asking and interrupting because we keep talking?  "make a focus on one thing. Making a focus on many this is not having a focus at all." This was one thing I really appreciated hearing because sometime I try and fo...
