Sister Marian Leavitt

The most life changing 19 months 🫶

I dont even know how to put this week into words! It was all over the place. We saw soooo many miracles but had a lot of setbacks as well! We have had 3 progressing friends this entire transfer who have been preparing for baptism this upcoming sunday and 2 of them fell off date which was so frustrating but thats okay! The best is yet to come!

We are still teaching our friend Marva from Afghanistan and shes THE BEST!! we are literally just friends with her. We go get dinner, help her set up her room cute, and of course teach her while we do it all but she has been such a miracle and answer to my prayers this last transfer!!

We met with our recent convert Mekhi and just had a if you dont laugh you'll cry kinda deal. He is our COOLEST recent convert. So chill. We have been bffs since i got here. He told us he doesnt want us reaching out anymore because his girlfriend doesnt like him talking to us. Sorry WHAT??? Literally insane but oh well.

I got to go on 2 exchanges this week!! One with sister barlow!!! If you dont remember i trained her and it was SO GOOD to be back! She has grown so much. She has so much love for people and she is always looking to grow closer to the Savior. We talked about personal studies and how to make them more meaningful. I always love talking to the sisters about this kind of study because i always learn more!!

My second exchange was with sister Rindlisbacher! Shes from layton utah. She is the cutest sister. She is so KIND! her voice could literally put me to sleep. She has so much love for this work. I learned so much about talking to people like the Savior would.

This will probably be my last email of my mission! I have such a strong testimony of Jesus Christ. My favorite name for Him is my friend. He has become my very best friend. He is my joy! I know He suffered for you and for me. He died for you and me. He rose again and He lives! He lives so you and i can overcome death. My new favorite hymn is the song because, because it describes my testimony perfectly

Because He died for me, I’ll live again.

Because He is my Friend, I’ll follow Him.

Because He fills the world with light, I’m filled with hope and peace.

And when He comes to earth again, I’ll kneel before His feet.

And I will praise forever

The Savior of the world,

And I will sing together

With all the Saints on earth.

Because He gave to me ev’rything

He had to give,

I breathe, I see, I hope, I love, I live.

I love you all! Thank you for all the love and support these last 19 months ❤️
