Here is Sister Leavitt and her Companion catching a train to Moscow.......hee...hee
Sister Leavitt finally found a boyfriend...he looks "Fat and Happy"
Not sure what this picture is other than a train station in Moscow.
Busy and cheerful….that’s our Courtney! She let me know that next week she will be on a Visa trip and so we won’t get an email until Tuesday or Wednesday. She also said she will only have 1-visa trip left after next week….that is so crazy! Hope you enjoyed her pictures she took while in Moscow.
This week we had a really cool experience with service. So we started out our day with the plan to go to one of our inactives house and teach her a lesson. We planned the lesson and I was so excited to teach it because it was a good one. But we got to her house and she wasn't home. She had forgotten... she went to go dig potatoes instead. So we were kind of far away in a smaller area with not any good places to go contacting or anything, so we had this feeling to just call one of our members that we haven't been able to meet with for a long time because she has just been so busy and always working. So we called her and she was home! She said she was busy though with cooking for a birthday party she was getting ready for. So we told her we could just help her get ready and help her cook. She accepted and we went over to help her. Her niece was also there helping. She's not a member, and felt a little weird about us being there at first, but by the end of our time cooking together we were friends and she thought that it was so cool that we were here. Then yesterday at church our member told us that her niece had said she wants us to come see her and teach her! I was so happy to see the fruits of our service so quickly. We have had a few wonderful experiences like this this past week and my heart is just full of gratitude to our members for wanting to share the gospel, and to Heavenly Father for sending us so many miracles everyday.
Life is so good and I love being a missionary. It's hard sometimes when you have a day where everyone is saying "You believe what?", "Why are you even here?" and my favorite "Oh, I know you... I already know everything. You're just a cult." , yep, sometimes it's hard, but when you just work hard and love the people even if they don't really love you, then the Lord will bless you. God loves all of his children. That's for sure.
Well, I hope you have a wonderful week. I love you all.
