March 17, 2014-Zebra Exchange

Dear Family and Friends,View photo.JPG in slide show

This week was a pretty good week.  We still didn't have too many
lessons as we thought, but we did pretty well with 17 lessons.  We set
a baptism date at the beginning of the week with Kyle Smith and is was
supposed to be this upcoming week. But we just found out a few days
ago that he is planning on moving back to Virginia pretty soon. We
need to work on finding some more people to teach.  It's been pretty
tough finding people on the streets. I've had problems with my bike
tires lately, so we spent one night walking around for about 3-4 hours
on the busiest streets close by, and we didn't see a single person. So
we need to find different ways of finding people.  There is one spot
at Lido Key, but it is quite a ways down there. It either takes miles
from our car, or time to bike. But we are going to try to go there
once a week to contact people.

On Wednesday after district meeting I was able to go on exchanges with
Elder Moyes and that was pretty cool.  Elder Moyes is a Spanish
speaking missionary, so it was pretty challenging through out the dat.
In the lessons that we in completely Spanish, he just had me read from
the Book of Mormon, which I probably butchered everything that I was
saying, even with the three years of Spanish in high school.  What I
found to be really neat is that even though I couldn't understand a
thing that was being said, just grasping a few words here and there,
the spirit was still so strong.  So no matter on what language is
being spoken, the Holy Ghost still testifies of the truthfulness of
the message in the same way. My testimony was greatly strengthened
from this experience and I absolutely loved it.

There isn't really anything to exciting that happened this week.  On
Sunday at church, I watched the stake conference broadcast from Elder
Nelson and Elder Kopischke again that I saw about two moths ago. So I
that was pretty cool being able to take different things out of it the
second round.

Loves you all.

Love, Elder Leavitt
