A Beautiful October week! October 30, 2018







                           The leaves are changing and it's absolutely beautiful! 



Hey Family! 
Can you believe Halloween is tomorrow? Where did October go? I'm still waiting for my summer. I have worn a sweater everyday since I arrived here on the coast about 5 months ago. I'm so excited to be staying here in North Bend. I love the people and this last week we have seen so many miracles! 
As you know I said bye to Sister Davis on Tuesday but I know I will get to see her next week so that wasnt to bad. The hard part was seeing some of my other friends that I know I will not be seeing before I leave the mission. There are so many Sisters here that I love so much. I picked up Sister Denison this week and man do I already love this girl so much! She is amazing! She is a hard worker and we have been going super hard this week. Like running door to door in the pouring rain as the lighting lights up the night. 

      Us getting wrecked by the rain! But hey we found a new person to teach so totally worth it! 

We also had a lesson with Jill and her boyfriend Erick this week! Erick had so many questions about the Plan of Salvation and we had alot of fun teaching them about it. Once we were able to explain the Plan of Salvation there questions all changed and were about the restoration! Then on Wednesday they came to the ward trunk or treat and handed out candy. They are some of my favorite people. Jill had told us that her and Erick were talking about how they wanted to be different and stand out in the world and that is when we knocked on their door. They are some of the most amazing people I have ever met! 
This week district Council was so great! We talked about our potential as sons and daughters of God. Ask yourself, what is your limit? A limit is an artificial stopping point. When we think we have given everything we have, could we give a little more? We have so much more potential inside of us. We are children of an almighty God and anything is possible with the Lord by our side. So what is your limit? You don't have one. There once was a man who broke the 4 minute mile, a number many people thought no one could ever brake but as soon as he made it, people across the world starting braking 4 mins. The number became a reality! Don't be comfortable where your at. Live up to the person God has in store for you to be! 

                                                         Our hike from this morning!





Yesterday we had Interviews with President Orton and it was so great to sit and remember. We reflected on the day we met in our home living room and the spiritual experiences we have had. We should always take time to remember. It's been a privilege to be on a mission with President and Sister Orton. They have done so much for me and I love the things they have taught me. 
Yesterday the Brookings sisters stayed with us. Sister Bodtcher and I were able to teach Hector and his wife Francis! He has gone to church for a long time but has so many questions that have gone unanswered. They are from Puerto Rico and have the cutest little boys.  It's been so fun teaching family's! 
I hope you are all having a fantastic week.  I 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...
