Adventures from Elder Leavitt

Cameron has been gone almost 9-months now. The area he is currently in has been a bit tough for him. He has been in the area almost 6-months. The teaching has been slow, but he works hard to keep the members active. One thing that you can always count on with Elder Leavitt is his great ATTITUDE and outlook on life. He knows how to have FUN and share his rock solid TESTIMONY at the same time. Cameron found "HERBIE"... how funny is that. OCHO found his way to the Philippines.
Cameron said this was a FHE GAME NIGHT. If you did the task incorrect, you got a black mark on your face. Do you think he is getting it wrong on purpose? Nah....
Having fun with a family they are teaching. Cameron said that the other missionaries told the family that Elder Leavitt was new and didn't understand Tagalog at all. They told them he was working on the language, and had faith he would learn it. By the end of the lesson, Elder Leavitt was speaking fluent Tagalog. The kids thought it was so funny. Never a dull moment with Elder Leavitt.
This was a major MILESTONE in his mission. The Missionaries will take 3- of these pills on their mission, and the last one the day the go home. This means Elder Leavitt has offically been in the PHILIPPINES for SIX MONTHS.
This is one of my favorite pictures he has sent home. What a beautiful little girl. The missionary is kinda handsome too!
TAXI anyone??? Can you even imagine riding around all day giving people rides for a living? This shows how much taller Elder Leavitt is to the average person in the Philippines. I think his knees hit the handlebars when he peddles.
Taking a shortcut through the rice field. Elder Leavitt said that its saves alot of time to cut through the fields but when it is raining, it is quite hard to do. At the end of a day. Elder Leavitt in a rice field at sunset. He is doing great and LOVES his MISSION. He has had some challenges with his health, but is feeling better. We know that he is in the PHILIPPINES to share the gospel and help the members there. What an AMAZING young man, and we are all so proud of him. Hope you enjoyed this weeks entry and time with Elder Leavitt.
