Zone Conference with President Orton-August 15, 2017

Sorry I didn't write you yesterday it was zone conference and we are going to New Port today for Pday and won't have wifi. I will try and write more. Just know I love you all and hope you are doing well. :) 
A flower as big as my face! Funny story I went to take a picture of the flower and it was outside a ladies house I thought she was going to be upset but she came out and said if we wanted we could have them. She was a sweet old lady. 














Family and friends! 


This week has been pretty good.
We went on companion exchanges with the sisters and sister Hong and taught their investigator Chelsie. She spoke pretty good English but I was confused as some things were said in Chinese also. Haha. We asked Chelsie about being baptized and she wasn't sure but follow up she went to their Chinese activity on Saturday where president Orton spoke and then church on Sunday and wants to be baptized! 
As for our area we keep knocking on lots of doors and have been working a ton with our less active list. Come to find out many of our less actives do not live here anymore so it's been a good thing to find out. 
So zone conference was yesterday and It was everything I needed. First zone conference with President Orton! The spirit was so strong and just filled me spiritually. We talked a lot about the basic things like asking inspired questions and really listening to what our investigators are saying. One thing that I learned is that our job as missionaries is simple when we state the doctrine truth and then help the investigator figure out what that means to them and allowing them Opportunities to bear their testimony. 
Our lesson in relief society was pretty neat as well. Sister Dalton taught and she spoke about how we need to understand the doctrine before we can know how to apply it in our lives. 

I love you all and appreciate your support. 
Have a wonderful week! 
Love

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...
