Soul Sisters on the town!- July 31, 2017

Family and Friends, 
 Sister Datwyler and I are going to be pros at knocking on doors by the end of this Transfer. We have fun as we pick topics to share each day to become better at our door Approaches. Funny story we picked to share the restoration and I was sharing about prophets to this sweet lady but as soon as I said prophets and how we have a living prophet on the earth today she got very angry and expressed loudly how she does not believe it. We will have to keep working on that approach. 
Our weekly Book of Mormon class is going super well as more less active members join! 
This week we decided to go to the park in the evening and talk to everyone we saw. It was actually so effective and we loved it. We met Lisa who was picking berries. We got talking and found out she had been going to a Bible study class so I shared with her how we love to read from the Bible too and then I taught her about the Book of Mormon and she agreed to read it! 
We kept talking to people in the park and as we walked we saw a couple we met eye contact and they turned away and pretended to walk the other way. Turns out they are members and he's an institute teacher. They saw the book of Mormon we had handed to Lisa and were wondering where she got it when they saw us in the park. 
We also met Avid in the park and gave him a restoration pamphlet. He texted us the next day and said he had questions.  So we are meeting with him this evening. He calls Sister Datwyler and I soul sisters it's kinda funny. 
Sunday was a good day. As we were greeting everyone before Church we ran into Kevin Doris who's daughter Kylie and I ran cross country together. 
Ed also came to the 4th ward! So it was a pretty great week! 
We also found out that Sister Datwyler and I are 9th cousins. If you go onto family tree you can see how you are related to those around you. It is so fun check it out! 
I hope you are all doing well and having fun! 
Love you all! 
Love 
Sister Leavitt

THE CALL TO DUTY!

Image
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...
