So I was so excited about
writing a nice long email today, but once again the hour that we are supposed to
have is going to be cut short! But I'll type fast! Everything here in Spokane
is wonderful! Spring is gorgeous with all the green, and Washingtonites
really take pride in their gardens and flowers, so I am loving it. The work has
really been moving along as well! I learn so much everyday it's unreal, I
could write a volume in my journal every night, but there's definitely no time
for that. So . . . where to start. . .
Well first, Steve is doing
amazing. He continues to amaze me with his faith and uninhibited desire
to learn. He ask so many incredible, pertinent questions during lessons,
sometimes I just think to myself, "Is this guy real?! Did we really get
this lucky?" But he is definitely real. He is making awesome
progress and June 6 is looking like the baptism day! I hope with all my
heart that I don't get my Visa before then, but it's very likely I will.
Lessons with Steve are so fun as we watch him get used to the whole
"Mormon Culture." He'll say things like, "I was in the
brotherhood yesterday, and we were talking about . . ." (meaning
Priesthood.) But all the members absolutely adore him, for good reason, and he
is totally being drawn in, which is incredible.
We have been so blessed
this week to find new investigators to teach, and most of it is thanks to this
little patch of heaven called "The Sunshine Trailer Park." Okay,
maybe it's not quite like heaven, and it's not really called Sunshine Trailer
Park, but that's what I like to call it because I love the people here so much
and it's just such a happy place! Plus, we have had a lot of recent
success there! We are teaching a young man named Oscar, who really has a
desire to find the truth, and we're just working with him to help him
understand that he has to read the Book of Mormon to know for himself!
That is our answer to often: you have to read and pray! Anyways, we're
becoming pretty well known in this little trailer park and every time we visit,
we find someone knew to teach, so I love it!
I've gotta run, but I love
you all so much, and I love being a missionary! Thank you for your
prayers and support!
Love,
Hermana Leavitt
