Adventures with the RV- December 11, 2017

Dear Family and Friends! 
The weeks just keep flying past faster and faster. We have had some interesting conversations this week. We went to an Rv park and met a lady named Lori. She talked to her stuffed rabbit and when Sister Evans popped her knuckles while we were talking, Lori stopped and made her do breathing exercises I was trying so hard not to laugh as my companion was stretching her arms and back as Lori directed. We did find a new investigator at the Rv park so that was good. 
We also ate dinner at a members RV this week as well. 
The we met a man in a bridge who was homeless and he talked to us for a few minutes and told us how we should say the word "word" everyday.
But maybe we are the crazy ones because this week Sister Evens and I wrote all our weaknesses on plates and destroyed them. Sometimes it feels good to destroy then and to remember that it is through the atonement of Jesus Christ that he can make weak things become strong.
We had our ward Christmas party which was an amazing turn out we had many less actives come that we invited. We had a few people from the community come that are not members of the church. Destanie came and brought her older sister along as well. It was so fun as the primary kids sang Christmas songs they also played a video of questions they asked ward members. What will you give to Christ this year? I have pondered over and over this question. I've decided to give my Savior my time this year. I want to be the kind of person that the Lord would call upon because he knows I will be there and do whatever he asks. 
There have been so many powerful spiritual moments this week that have built  my testimony of the Savior. I'm greatful for the opportunity I have everyday to share what I know about Jesus Christ. I'm greatful for the hand of God in every aspect of my life. I love him and am grateful that no matter what we may be feeling someone else even greater has felt the same way and he is by our side every step of the way.
I hope you all have got the chance to watch the light the world video that the Church put out it is absolutely amazing and there are many great service opportunities.
I love you all!
Love 
Sister Leavitt 

Sister Evans and I in our new Christmas hats a member had her daughter make them for us in a day! She wanted to make sure we had them as soon as possible because of how cold it is here. 
We decorated our Bishops door!

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...
