Sister Kiera Davis Back to Missionary Letters Que sigma Monday: we had a lot of lessons for a P-day and even found some potential new amigos. Before that, I demolished some of the best nachos I've ever had. They were even better than Taco Bell nachos and that is saying A LOT. Chatted with the fam for a bit, always a pleasure. Played some uno flip and some soccer. Then to end the night, we got chewed out by some members. Why? Too many things to type out on here. Walking back to our house after, I told Hermana Reyes "In America, they are what we call *&^%#@¡×." The word wasn't actually bad, I'm just keeping this thing rated G. Use your imagination to fill in the blank. Also, the moon was absolute stunning and so big and bright, surrounded by the palm trees and everything. I could totally hear the Other Side of Heaven soundtrack in my brain and it made me want to write a romantic letter to Jean telling her we're looking at the same moon. But oh well. Still single 👍 (my heart is locked down baby) Well, Tuesday started out bright and early at 3 am. We love migrations. I never thought that I'd be begging to wake up at 6:30. We had to go the the city so Hermana Reyes could renew her ID and, since for some reason they arent letting me do it the same day, we have to make the same trek again next week. Hooray. This is my sleep deprivation era. Goodbye squeaky bed sleep, hello bumpy bus ride almost naps. But actually, during Rey's migration me and Hermana Fetuli took some good solid naps on the office benches after our chocolate croissants. It then proceeded to be the longest day ever because it was hot as h-e-double hockey sticks, we were tired, and it was one of our solo español days. A recipe for pure disaster. I was hoping that a crocodile would just come eat me or something. But everything turned out okay when we walked to Cecilio's house to say hi and we found him out front reading the Book of Mormon!!! Que bendición 🥹 so we talked about it and hes enjoying it so far. After that we played frisbee with him, Ethan, and his other son Andres. They are soooo sweet. For those who know my boy Lucas, Andres reminds me a lot of him. Soooo so sweet. Also, shoutout to Lucas and all the kids in my moms class!! I miss youuuu! I actually only came on a mission to Panamá to learn spanish so me, Lucas, and my fav lady Erika can spill some tea. I ❤️ chisme If you are reading this, know that I am absolutely sweating my brains out. If you see my pictures and I have this natural clean girl glow, it is definitely sweat. Summer is HERE folks. But my hammocks are not... so that sucks. Anyways, Cecilio is progressing my friendsss. We taught him and his mother in law on Wednesday and they have been reading the Book of Mormon. I cannot even express how much I love and appreciate them for receiving us and our message. He is going on a trip for two weeks though, so hopefully me and Reyes dont get transferred from this area. Prayers please! We taught a lot of lessons that day actually, and we got some dogs stories up in here. First off, we taught a new convert and her grandma Binky and they have three dogs. Bishop went with us for that one and one of the dogs would not leave him alone. As in, that thing was going for the goods the whole time. Bishop was about to be on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. And then the next house we went to we were chillin, eating sándwiches, drinking soda. Then when we got up to leave, a dog that had been tranquilo the whole time started barking and tried to eat up my little mama Reyes (cue a very loud scream)!!! And then my girl used me as a human shield! Obviously, I chucked some holy water on that perro and got the heck out of that cursed house. Nah, but it was really funny after the fact. Reyes didnt let me go for like three minutes after hahaha. Then she kept telling me "That would be the most embarrassing story. If people asked me why I got sent home from my mission, I'd have to say it was cause a dog bit my butt off!" When we got home, we went to talk our neighbor/owner Janet and she asked me if I was new here.... I had my hair in a slick back bun and she had only ever seen me with my freakin afro type hair. Real Clark Kent type business up in here. But she kept saying "maybe its cause you look tanner. Maybe its cause its just dark out here." And then she decided it must be because I got skinnier. Thank you? She definitely did not call me flacita as a compliment, but I guess all my push ups are paying off babyyy. Like I always tell my bestie Pao: one day or day one??? But mark my words, imma look like a freakin Instagram model when I get back people. Look out Kim and Kylie. Thursday, we had our district council stuff like always. My district is so chill!! Im going to be sad when we're all split up next transfer. Aside from the fact that they had a whole conversation about brain rot. That was sure interesting. Elder Medrano kept saying "Que sigma, que sigma." Anyways, everybody is saying that I'm going to go somewhere else and Rey is going to stay. But who knowssss. Then of course, we hit it with some Popeyesss. Me encanta!! And THEN, we bought some sunnies 😎 I feel ten times better walkin around in those things. We are definitely the cool misioneras round these parts. We had a taxi driver say some funny things to us about them too. He had no chill. Last but not least, I was yappin with this little girl and laughing about stuff, but to be so real, the only word I understood from her was fashion haha. Also, we tried to have mission correlation Wednesday AND Thursday, but only Bishop pulled up. Guys. We quite literally have zero member support and it suuuuucks. Cut to Friday, I had to take back all the things I said about being flacita and a future kardashian. We slept in during workout time because we talked until 12 the night before. Basically Hermana Reyes was explaining different types of spa treatments to me and it was like asmr for my brain. Also, after a lesson I basically ran after a pan van in search of churros and they didnt even have any!!!! So I just got a rando sugary bread thing and that was not as good. About five seconds later, I saw these kids selling donuts and my inner self was fighting hard to resist it, but I turned around and got one anways. ¡Chocolate con sprinkles! 🎉 One highlight from that day was me having to help mama Reyes over a tiny little river because she was scared hahaha. We need to take a video next time because this is a common occurence. Being with her these last couple weeks has shown me that I could never in my life be a princess or a proper rich typa person by any means (especially not one that says "likewise" Malachi). I truly had no idea that I was so.... hood? Idk man, thats the best way I can describe the difference between us lol. You can take the girl outta the ghetto but not the ghetto outta the girl I suppose. Lowlight was having a really good lesson with Lloyd and his mom (who is a member) and then at the end, she told us that he's just not ready to get baptized. But hes 11. And he says he wants to. So that is a huuuuge bummer. Other important events included watching a K drama at a members house for a good long minute while we waited for her to start the lesson, following my icon Hermana Featherstone's example and buying a resistance band at el Machetazo, and doing the entirety of my 100 daily push ups in the span of 20 minutes😭 My arms did not like that one bit. But I'm trying to lock in and be the next Dwayne Johnson 🤷♀️ que sigma. The power was out again on Saturday. Kill me. I was thinking this has to be what el infierno is like. To make things worse, everywhere I look, somebody has a pool. Pools with cooooold cold water in em. And your girl conveniently cant swim for the next 15 ish months😭 maybe one of these days I'll just "trip" and fall into one. My people back home and especially in Hawaii, be so grateful that you can swim AND speak english. Some of us are not so lucky atm... To be honest, the day was pretty slow, just the same old knocking and rejection and all that good stuff. But we did end up having pizza for dinner so that was soliiiiid. Me and our neighbor Janet had some pizza and were talking about stuff and we're kinda best buddies now. She said shes going to make me some arroz con polla AND some camarones!!! Me and Hermana Reyes had some interesting talks too. Sometimes I give her culture shock when I tell her things like I've never gone to the spa in my life let alone every week, I didnt have a nanny or a maid, and yes I did indeed learn how to clip my own nails long before I came on a mission. Sometimes those conversations have us laughing for a good long while. But it also makes me think that I should probably hire a maid and get a mani-pedi every week rather than cutting my own nails. The good life fr. We ended the night with zone family home evening and me and Rey had to come up with a game. We did charades and it was the best thing evaaaa. AAAAHHH! I almost forgot. I had to kill a cockroach while i was taking a shower and it gave me flashbacks to Hale 2, home sweet home. Sunday started out with ward council and the stake president asking everybody to help the missionaries more 🤭 what words of wisdom. The chapel was pretty full too so that was awesome. When we were supposed to be doing language study, one of the young women recruited us for a missionary tik tok. That thing is going to blow up, so dont be surprised if I become really insanely famous. Also, an integral part of our Sundays is getting catcalled to the high heavens my friends. At this point, Im not sure if I'll know if a man is interested after the mish unless hes whistlin like his life depends on it. Ok ok ok. It was also raining like crazy that day and I got soaked because I have learned to steer clear of my comp when shes holding an umbrella. Concussions imminent. We ovbi went to Bishops house for dinner and I smoked his kids in Uno!!! Oh primary kids. So innocent, so naive. My spiritual thought this week is dedicated to the Book of Mormon. Since we dont really know if we'll see Cecilio again, he had us write our names and a little note in the Book of Mormon we gave him. He told me I could write in English so I'd be able to put more thought into it, so I did. Then, a day after that, the woman that my dad baptized on his mission shared her testimony with us about how the Book of Mormon completely changed her life. I can testify that it is all true. The Book of Mormon is another testament of Jesus Christ, written and translated to help us and guide us and bring us the knowledge of the Savior who died for us and a Heavenly Father who loves us so much more than we can even comprehend. It is powerful and when you really truly sincerely search for truth and answers in it, you will find them. You will find peace, you will find comfort, and your soul will be filled with the Spirit of God. The Book of Mormon has and will continue to change my life. I cant even count all the blessings I have received through learning the gospel and just having it in my life. I am eternally grateful for the parents I have that raised me to know the truth of my Savior, His gospel, and the Book of Mormon. I believe with all my heart that it is the word of God, and it is meant for YOU. If you let it, it will change you. It will change your desires, thoughts, and actions, and it will heal your soul. I know this is the gospel of the Living Chist. Put your trust in Him and you will be changed for the better. The book is blue, the gospel is true! -grammy and uncle chris i think 😂 Big hug, big kiss, little kiss, Hermana Davis <3 Previous Letter Next Letter

Sister Marian Leavitt Back to Missionary Letters My bishop is the coolest person I know!! I APOLOGIZE IN ADVANCE FOR THIS ETERNAL EMAIL! I know i say this every week but this week went by SO FAST! we were so busy! Splitting english ward and persian branch we barely have any time to actually plan in our day. We have been bombarded with lessons which is an amazing problem to have! Teaching the persian people has been the best experience! Their history is SO INTERESTING! our rules are we cant baptize perisans who arent citizens or if they have family back in iran/ Afghanistan because their families will be killed for them coverting to Christianity. Its so sad but those who are baptized have such amazing faith and they all remind me that my trials arent that bad. Most are very scared to be baptized because if they ever go back to their country they will be killed...valid! Our Facebook work has been POPPING OFF with perisan work. We had a FULL english class this week! The lady i worked with is 7 months pregnant and she asked ME to name her baby! I felt so honored hahah! Shes so young and sweet. Shes technically the elders friend but she wants us to come around more often so she can teach us how to cook like a persian... poor elders, we take every woman from them haha! Some highlights from this week! - one of our favorite members sister kerby took us to CHEESECAKE FACTORY!! We definitely do not go hungry in this area! If you know me you know I LOVEEE cheesecake factory so that made my entire week!! At dinner she told us about our bishops job because we were very curious (hes very smart and rich as most government workers are). He used to write speeches for hilary clinton, joe biden, and obama. Then switched jobs but now hes not allowed to say what he does but he has frequent dinners at all those houses! I think its so funny because his wife is very conservative and works for the republican party but they're both so humble and supportive of each other #couplegoalsfr - we got a persian referral for this 80yr old lady who is SO CUTE! we went to her house to visit her and she is HILARIOUS! shes very brutally honest and says things how it is. Explained how she hates the muslim religion and everything they do is wrong..slay girl! She also gave me a gift (persian people either bombard you with food or gifts) and mine was a POMEGRANATE! she gave me this class pomegranate with her beautiful calligraphy persian handwriting! How did she know they were so special to me?? God is GOOD - There was a forcast on saturday night that we'd be getting 2in of snow on sunday so they canceled church... literally the entire state shuts down when the weather app predicts any slight bit of snow! - it has been crazy with traffic for the Inauguration Day today. Lots of our members are going to it which is so crazy that its literally 20 minutes away from me lol. Pray for me today!! -we helped tami move with the RS president sister holland who is a professor at georgetown and she convinced me, I'm now going there! Please start the donations hahah! - i also got a new nickname from navid (recent convert in persian branch and also my bestie) he was lecturing me on how english names have no meaning and i made a joke said marian comes from mary, the mother of Jesus and he makes fun of me all the time for it now ans calles me "sister mother of king" and when people ask why he says that he proceeds to make fun of me for making that up hahah SO SORRY THIS IS SOOOO LONG! but i want to share a few thoughts from my personal study this week! I have been studying a lot about Jesus Christ and why I love him and a scripture that kept coming to my mind was Matthew 11:28-30 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Christ is here to make this life easier! He's already been through your hard times and then some! LET Him give us rest!!! I LOVE YOU ALL https://photos.app.goo.gl/S2KwiGxpSdFowZuA6 Previous Letter Next Letter
