Welllllllll. Yall already know what's up.  Missionaries can now CALL and FACETIME home EVERY WEEK! instead of just the emails.  That being said my letters might be shorter. I apologize in advance.  This week we had zone conference and we were told lots of good stuff and we (Elder Leavitt and I) were able to apply it later this week:  One of the things that was talked about at zone conference was a story Brother Littlefield had when he was a missionary and people didn't wake up for church. He would go and knock on their door to wake them up. Well.. We had that happen to us, Our most progressing person told us he'd be ready for us knocking on his door at 8:50am. (He told us this Saturday Night)  His mom texted us at 11 that night and said that he was just getting to bed and probably won't wake up for us..  Well we got up and got ready to go to church but remembered the story of Brother Littlefield, So we went and knocked on his door to wake him up.. They...

Bald Legs, Bruised Knuckles, And An Icicle To The Face

If you are Elder Legas companion you suffered all those things this week (See Subject) Let me Explain: Bald Legs: I very rarely prank or tease for those who don't know me very well. I decided it was finally time to break out of my shell and do something I normally don't do. I talked Elder Leavitt into thinking that I could get his leg to go numb by me rubbing it with the palm of my hand in small circular motions. It doesn't actually make your leg numb, just ties a bunch of hairs in knots. I got him pretty good. Now he's patchy :) Bruised Knuckles: Elder Leavitt told me that one of his goals is to get better with his language. I asked him what I needed to do if "he swore". He said "One swear is 3 Finger Flicks" I asked him "are you sure"  "Yes Elder Legas I'm sure" About 10 minutes later he "swore" and so I followed through with the punishment. I flicked him only one time and you could see Elder Leavitt process the mi...

I LOVE MY NEW COMPANION!! His name is Elder Leavitt and is from a small town in southwest Missouri #BigMO He graduated High School when he was 16 and has been doing college credit classes up until now. He worked all that time as well for his dads concrete business. Elder Leavitt is the 13th of 15 CHILDREN! That being said, he has nieces that are older than him. Fun Fact: His Brothers were both his Bishop AND Stake President back home. Imagine that! SHYOOO!  He just barely turned 18 and so is still learning lots of new things. (Ex: 1st time buying milk on his own, 1st time needing to shave, 1st time telling someone about a haircut he wants)  He loves to work and that's all that matters as of right now. The rest and the comfort-ability of mission life will follow. He has a strong testimony. We had a really good lesson together our very first day. We taught a 16 year old boy named Chance. It was the most powerful Restoration lesson I've ever been a part of. I ...
