Beautiful things happening everyday- Oct 23, 2017


Dear friends and family!
Things are going great in cottage. We have had so many good things happen. Destanie is fantastic! She came to church yesterday and is preparing to be baptized on the day of stake conference so we hope that there will be lots of support from the ward.

Yesterday at church we had the primary program. Which is probably the best Sunday of the year. The kids were so cute and of course their is always that one child that makes everyone laugh. So a little girl every time she sang the chorus of Nephi courage she would jump and shout "I will GO!  I will Do! The things the Lord commands!" it was super cute.

I love my companion Sister John we get along so well and help each other grow in our struggles. She helps me become a better teacher and I have been able to help her enjoy knocking on doors. 

Things are going good and I  hope you are all having a fantastic day. 
Love you all! 

Love 
Sister Leavitt

Mom!
That is crazy that Grandma was at the church that we went to. It's probably a good thing we didn't see each other as much as I would love to see my grandma. I don't want to take away that feeling of seeing them when I get back home.

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...
