Yes, it is true. After many requests, we have been given a new vehicle while our other one is still getting looked at! It's one of the older trucks in our mission but driving around in that bad boy has been such a blessing to us. We've been able to get so much more done now that we don't have to bike. I'm counting my blessings!

General Conference this past weekend was so inspiring! Billy ( our investigator preparing for baptism here soon) came to almost every single session of it including the priesthood session. It's a pretty cool story too. So he plays the organ for this one guy that he's really good friends with and he told him that he would come play with him for some people during conference. He wanted to come to conference really bad but felt like he should keep his word. Part way through conference, Billy showed up! He said that he was playing with his friend when all of a sudden, everyone mysteriously started getting sick so they dismissed everyone there to go home and get better so Billy got to come! All he said was," The Lord works in mysterious ways." That's the truth.

One of my favorite talks this conference was Elder Gary E. Stevenson's talk on the Priesthood keys. This past week, we had the opportunity to give so many priesthood blessings to people that desperately needed it. We were able to see the power of these blessings work through them and the results were incredible to see. Listening to his talk only strengthened my testimony of the priesthood and the blessings that come from having it restored on the earth. We no longer have to ask,"Where are the keys?"

I love you all and I love hearing about how well you guys are doing. Hope you all have a great week and in the words of our Prophet on the earth today," May we ever choose the harder right instead of the easier wrong."

Love, Elder Leavitt

Finally a vehicle!
