Sister Kiera Leavitt

Dear friends and family! This week has been an adventure. So after Preparation day on Monday I started to get sick. My ears plugged up and my throat hurt. We kept working and that night I was up for a few hours in the night. We woke up and kept working. (Yes mom I was taking oil pills) so that evening after dinner I broke in tears and called the nurse. She gave me a list of things to do. We texted the zone leaders and asked who we would go to for a blessing. Before we even asked for them to come they were on their way. I am so greatful for the priesthood power of God and the Elders in my zone who live their lives worthy to call upon that power when needed. The blessing was very comforting and I took away to remember to be patient. Patience is a christ like attribute I decided to study. I was very upset because of the set backs of being sick. I pleaded that it would just go away. Why would God not take away my sickness when I'm out here trying to do his work? I definitely...

Dear Family and Friends! This week was absolutely amazing.  So many miracles!!! I just want to share a few of my favorite moments. On Thursday we had a lesson with Paula. We had planned our lesson but when we got there and asked her if she had prayed about a baptism date. She asked what she needed to do to be baptized. So we decided to go through all the baptism interview questions. Paula had prayed about the date and so she will be baptized on January 7th! It was so neat to watch God prepare her to accept baptism. The spirit was so strong and she is excited about being baptized! Then on Sunday we had Stake Conference where President Orton and Sister Orton spoke they gave great talks. They also had a recent convert speak she spoke of how she came to know for herself how the church was true. It was absolutely beautiful. She spoke of how the Sister Missionaries were so excited when she accepted to be baptized. When she said that Destanie was sitting by Sister John and I an...

Dear Family and friends! I am super excited for the Big changes in missionary work!  "Behold and lo, I will take care of your flocks, and will raise up elders (sisters) and send them unto them. Behold, I will hasten my work in its time." (DC 88:72-73) God is hastening his work. That time is Now!  If you haven't heard yet the Oregon Eugene Mission is now an online prosolyting mission. Meaning missionaries will now Be teaching over Skype and using Facebook to contact investigators daily. We will be posting and sharing and reaching out to more people than ever before.  We are able to be friends with everyone back at home so you can all see what is going on but we ask that you only communicate over email. And I will still reply on Mondays. It is strongly encouraged that we flood the internet with the light of Christ. So go on and share the Good word of God. This is how missionary work is going to spread from each one of you being involved and sharing the gospel! ...
