I'm finally coming home and it's so sad to even think that my mission is ending but I don't think the experience will ever leave me. The people here, even though there are some that don't like us, I absolutely love. I somewhat know how the Savior feels when His sons and daughters reject him. I have personally felt pain because of someone not willing to follow the Lord, but I can take courage knowing that I can say, as did Paul when he was talking to Timothy, "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith," as well as knowing I have done the will of the father.<br /><br />It's such a great experience being in the service of the Lord, and having to end that will be the hardest day in my life thus far. But life must go on and mountains still need to be conquered and with the knowledge I have now, that I wouldn't have gotten anywhere else, I feel prepared for the trying times ahead.<br /><br />I love you all. Keep the faith you hold so close to you now and never let it dwindle.<br /><br />Love Elder Rogersfabuleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09692505811311404491noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14587023482985411.post-81819731698527738472011-07-10T17:31:00.000-07:002011-07-10T17:44:54.518-07:00Elder Rogers RETURNS WITH HONOR Wednesday, July 20th....<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4yILkLmMbGF1ZnZSg1GjxRaxLXUlXTmZjVtDTnhqAir1rHAqoWWgbovumJRIzVMI0C5DvODiQYoxQWDwYVBZuc65HCtyENVSAt4J99nv-Bs3d19uGYN0qV0vmo4eGVf-AlJxJBmOOMQ/s1600/P1000035.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4yILkLmMbGF1ZnZSg1GjxRaxLXUlXTmZjVtDTnhqAir1rHAqoWWgbovumJRIzVMI0C5DvODiQYoxQWDwYVBZuc65HCtyENVSAt4J99nv-Bs3d19uGYN0qV0vmo4eGVf-AlJxJBmOOMQ/s400/P1000035.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5627886103436528674" /></a><br /><br /><div><embed src="http://widget-3a.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" quality="high" scale="noscale" salign="l" wmode="transparent" flashvars="cy=bb&il=1&channel=3458764513864858938&site=widget-3a.slide.com" style="width:400px;height:320px" name="flashticker" align="middle"></embed><div style="width:400px;text-align:left;"><a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=3458764513864858938&map=1" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-3a.slide.com/p1/3458764513864858938/bb_t014_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide1.gif" border="0" ismap /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=3458764513864858938&map=2" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-3a.slide.com/p2/3458764513864858938/bb_t014_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide2.gif" border="0" ismap /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=3458764513864858938&map=F" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-3a.slide.com/p4/3458764513864858938/bb_t014_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide42.gif" border="0" ismap /></a></div></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><embed src="http://widget-d7.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" quality="high" scale="noscale" salign="l" wmode="transparent" flashvars="cy=bb&il=1&channel=3458764513868904151&site=widget-d7.slide.com" style="width:400px;height:320px" name="flashticker" align="middle"></embed><div style="width:400px;text-align:left;"><a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=3458764513868904151&map=1" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-d7.slide.com/p1/3458764513868904151/bb_t043_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide1.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=3458764513868904151&map=2" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-d7.slide.com/p2/3458764513868904151/bb_t043_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide2.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=3458764513868904151&map=F" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-d7.slide.com/p4/3458764513868904151/bb_t043_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide42.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a></div></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><p style="visibility:visible;"><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://widget-d8.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" height="320" width="426" style="width:426px;height:320px"><param name="movie" value="http://widget-d8.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="scale" value="noscale" /><param name="salign" value="l" /><param name="wmode" value="transparent" /> <param name="flashvars" value="cy=ms&il=1&channel=3458764513866033624&site=widget-d8.slide.com" /></object><p style="white-space:nowrap"><a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=ms&at=un&id=3458764513866033624&map=1" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-d8.slide.com/p1/3458764513866033624/ms_t011_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide1.gif" border="0" ismap /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=ms&at=un&id=3458764513866033624&map=2" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-d8.slide.com/p2/3458764513866033624/ms_t011_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide2.gif" border="0" ismap /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=ms&at=un&id=3458764513866033624&map=F" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-d8.slide.com/p4/3458764513866033624/ms_t011_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide42.gif" border="0" ismap /></a></p></p>fabuleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09692505811311404491noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14587023482985411.post-18981924351405142612011-07-03T13:58:00.000-07:002011-07-03T14:17:23.370-07:00Mon, 27 Jun 2011<br /><br />This week makes me never want to leave here. It will be a sad day when I will have to leave this place behind, physically but never mentally, ha. This week we had Amber Johnson out at church and she said she loved it. We weren't able to get her on date though. She says she wants to take it slow and really know that this is what is right for her and that is just hard because the longer she takes the easier it will be for Satan to influence her in some way or another. So we are really trying hard for her, we even took her to a member's house and had a really great lesson on why there are prophets and how they hold the priesthood and how that's the same authority that Jesus Christ held and how she needs to be baptized, but still she couldn't set a date saying that would be too fast. <br /><br />So other than that, all you people and family down in AZ, it still hasn't reached 80 degrees yet, ha ha. I'm going to turn into a raisin when I get home seeing its prob 100 degrees+ there, ha. But other than that, we had a lot of knocking this week and a lot of walking. We are in the boonies, I like to call it, where the houses are few and far between and the best part we can knock till 9 oclock and the sun still be up, ha. No, it happened Sunday night, we were out knocking and looked at the time - it was 9 at night. Looked right in front of us and the sun was still out, mind you it only had another 20 minutes left, but it was still there, lol. <br /><br />I love you all. Please continue to pray for miracles to happen because I have been seeing them everyday and I dont want them to stop. <br /><br />Love Elder Rogersfabuleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09692505811311404491noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14587023482985411.post-67042329318503358842011-07-03T13:44:00.000-07:002011-07-03T13:54:11.074-07:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigfsztFu6fci6_l8SpUOCL6Y9rO-e7DBJ1RMBALjssD1VLwLS7PSNKk-yso3MwpD7tJAWpPeDypzquyRWY7uwJ8Vf6dNaeunxcbFLp2kN5q3oIp5NnN1kuW9UB5hebKKZJqAZ7fN38wQ/s1600/IMG_0398.jpg"><img style="float:left;

Lots of blessings for our hard work. We had an appointment with this lady who is in her <br />30's and is like a child, really. She knows nothing about God, Jesus Christ or his ministry and ultimate sacrifice for us. So, we started at point numero uno, with, "God is our loving Heavenly Father." We even got her to pray. She is way excited to learn and to hear more about God and what he has in store for her. We are praying for her that she will receive an answer to her own prayers and know what an answer will feel like.<br /> <br />The weather is finally warming up and when I say warming up, I mean it's almost to 80 degrees. It hasn't hit that mark yet, but everytime it gets close I'm just dripping in sweat, ha. It will be funny to see what will happen when I get home and how I react to the heat.<br /> <br />I really can't explain what is going through my head. The closer the time gets to home, the more and more I don't want to come home. I absolutely love being a missionary and I think I can really understand the meaning of why Elder Holland said that his mission has meant everything to him, for it has been the same way for me. My mission has meant everything and has shaped the way I will live forever and I hope that my "missionary service" never ends. I love you all and please remember that there is no other way to be truly happy than being in the Gospel of Jesus Christ.<br /><br />Love Elder Rogersfabuleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09692505811311404491noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14587023482985411.post-89505992472348399582011-06-12T23:45:00.000-07:002011-06-12T23:55:03.900-07:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv9DD_ReCkGd6kFRdzz_JpdwDjAQXdcpgU93w56jz-HMXvvezLS95yBWER163CEjeuJvqDBdTqRt3Czwjm-cEpTQDr1GIBg1DD89viUBAfEYnc2bBpb0EMlw_yTouYUKcquJ0pJsQHTA/s1600/IMG_0315.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv9DD_ReCkGd6kFRdzz_JpdwDjAQXdcpgU93w56jz-HMXvvezLS95yBWER163CEjeuJvqDBdTqRt3Czwjm-cEpTQDr1GIBg1DD89viUBAfEYnc2bBpb0EMlw_yTouYUKcquJ0pJsQHTA/s320/IMG_0315.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5617594267760327314" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvA_Vr8WNR4itKul-d41XskjT1BQul8h9WovQmQaE2FZBvBOpDt4U4pygx3wUJPEc0hmcL8deNEvWSdZwCzjrNotrw6Ow5U0W22s-L0X7X0wuJMOulZA6pEgeMin7FgZ4WHfh-2OmG8w/s1600/IMG_0316.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvA_Vr8WNR4itKul-d41XskjT1BQul8h9WovQmQaE2FZBvBOpDt4U4pygx3wUJPEc0hmcL8deNEvWSdZwCzjrNotrw6Ow5U0W22s-L0X7X0wuJMOulZA6pEgeMin7FgZ4WHfh-2OmG8w/s320/IMG_0316.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5617594260272214482" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgx5KmoWw0i3JJcvuyKHrWqOUir-Dv5vzQWDDqENyMAnTU6RcBwZ-v3Zr6DJAmGgFowBY51fLMun_nnNugixRFDV8LpAKuofNQrHE5YU0b3LOnOWpw6LuYY9joUDkFT7jYBmqmPtVGIMg/s1600/IMG_0326.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgx5KmoWw0i3JJcvuyKHrWqOUir-Dv5vzQWDDqENyMAnTU6RcBwZ-v3Zr6DJAmGgFowBY51fLMun_nnNugixRFDV8LpAKuofNQrHE5YU0b3LOnOWpw6LuYY9joUDkFT7jYBmqmPtVGIMg/s320/IMG_0326.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5617594241717268578" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj33eEHcl-M_HL5G0K4N8jAy5zoD21ZKTWom48HDRuf4wJk-o6Qji845MHsz2TFNhVI48VDSXWxliTWbDfvwTfka8SGZb7B-g5U9ZZjKq9SehqDggY97uy5Qi_22RX5nqkk8Wlo7WYVtA/s1600/IMG_0327.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj33eEHcl-M_HL5G0K4N8jAy5zoD21ZKTWom48HDRuf4wJk-o6Qji845MHsz2TFNhVI48VDSXWxliTWbDfvwTfka8SGZb7B-g5U9ZZjKq9SehqDggY97uy5Qi_22RX5nqkk8Wlo7WYVtA/s320/IMG_0327.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5617594237005006738" /></a>fabuleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09692505811311404491noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14587023482985411.post-79715930365806267822011-06-12T23:25:00.000-07:002011-06-12T23:45:28.010-07:00Mon, 6 Jun 2011<br /><br />Well one week down, five more to go. It really is getting too close that I can't help not to know how many days left. But trust me, you can't see my work ethic hindered by that. I'm still working hard and still being obedient. Elder Neilson and I are doing great together and having fun through it all. As for people to teach, we have none so far. We dropped all of them that we picked up these last couple of weeks because they weren't progressing and were not keeping commitments. They even said that they would come to church a couple of times but didn't, so we are really putting our trust in the Lord that he has someone specifically ready for the gospel and that we can find them. So please, everyone pray that we can have a baptism before the 20Th of July. I love you all. Thank you so much for your prayers, love and support. <br /><br />And ye are called to bring to pass the gathering of mine elect; for mine elect hear my voice and harden not their hearts; D&C 29:7<br /><br />Elder ROgersfabuleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09692505811311404491noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14587023482985411.post-59321470876178866402011-05-28T01:14:00.000-07:002011-05-28T01:28:45.174-07:00Training Meeting<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPgtpxvsDR8YFydMui12QUK6_8rKQMzGBtTrVMoSZQHLawli7hA1BmNcMmt-vCfuFu28XP1OsZfmNYE9IoGSTPm5qrs30TiOF2OyEVHxL81r7iD6gjz-WpBiMxcKPOafmbtVPTPCxtWg/s1600/NSS_and_NG_training_007.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPgtpxvsDR8YFydMui12QUK6_8rKQMzGBtTrVMoSZQHLawli7hA1BmNcMmt-vCfuFu28XP1OsZfmNYE9IoGSTPm5qrs30TiOF2OyEVHxL81r7iD6gjz-WpBiMxcKPOafmbtVPTPCxtWg/s400/NSS_and_NG_training_007.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5611680863950760546" /></a><br /><br /><br />From left to right:<br />Elder Henry, Elder Maynders, Me , Elder Neilsonfabuleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09692505811311404491noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14587023482985411.post-1340561727925769812011-05-28T00:47:00.000-07:002011-05-28T01:13:10.391-07:00"What a Miracle"Mon, 16 May 2011<br /><br /><br />This week was great, even though we never saw the sun and the rain clouds opened their flood gates and never closed them, it seemed like. We had a great miracle come our way, for our persistence you can say, and I think, because of our great attitude. We knocked into a lady who looks like she can be late 20's or mid 30's who is divorced and has a set of twin girls, which are the cutest set of girls I have seen yet. But the cool thing is that to get away from her ex-husband she moved from Edmonton Alberta and came to Nova Scotia and she was being taught by missionaries in Edmonton for six months but because of the complexities of her situation with her husband at the time, he refused to let her join the church. But now that she is here and doesn't have a husband she is really committed to giving it a second try. The awesome thing is her whole family it seems like is LDS back in Alberta. She is the most elect I have knocked into here in this area and elder Neilson and I see her as a blessing from hard work and lots of prayer, ha. <br /><br />The rest of the week was spent dripping in rain. It was so fun at times but when the wind started howling it got really cold. But we had fun and it was a great week.<br /><br />This week we have Leadership Training. This is where President will come and train us on what the Prophet and the Apostles want us to learn. It will take two full days and I don't know if people know but I can barely stand still for 30 min and Pres wants us to do it for all day for two days in a row, ha. This will try my patience. Remember that the adversary wants to sift us as wheat and to always disregard his temptations. Remember that the Lord loves you and so do I. <br /><br />Love Elder Rogersfabuleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09692505811311404491noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14587023482985411.post-50198403790556680752011-05-11T23:36:00.000-07:002011-05-13T13:32:51.933-07:00<em>I have asked for permission from the sister who sent the following email if I could put it on Elder Roger's blog and was granted it: Rachel Fenn</em><br /> <br /><br />Sun, 8 May, 2011<br /><br />Hello Sis. Fenn, <br /> <br />My name is Sis. Marni Ray and I live-in Fredericton, NB Canada. Your son Elder Rogers served in our area for a few months. <br /> <br />I just wanted you to know how much we appreciate the fine person you raised in Elder Rogers. <br /> <br />From the first moment he entered our home we knew he was special and felt such a connection to him. <br /> <br />Our 11yr old son (Malachi) has terminal cancer, and from the first time he walked into our home he made it a point to single out Malachi and forge a relationship with him. Malachi thought the world of him and always looked forward to his visits. <br /> <br />When he got transferred it was difficult for our family, and tears were shed by each of us. It was like a member of our family was going. <br /> <br />I know in my heart that he was sent to this mission partly for our family. He was a wonderful missionary and servant of the Lord and there isn't a doubt in my mind that Heavenly Father has important things lined up for him in his life. <br /> <br />Missionaries come, and missionaries go but Elder Rogers is still spoken of fondly in our home and will remain in a special place in our hearts forever. We hope and pray that we are able to keep in touch with him throughout his life and perhaps even see him again someday. <br /> <br />I just wanted you to know what an amazing missionary he has been and what an example he is to those around him. You've raised a remarkable human being, and it's been a sincere pleasure to have him in our home and get to know him. <br /> <br />Happy Mother's Day to you. :) <br />Take care. <br />Sincerely, <br />Marni Ray<br /><blockquote></blockquote>fabuleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09692505811311404491noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14587023482985411.post-60892805659728118282011-05-09T22:13:00.000-07:002011-05-09T22:26:32.827-07:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQUJll2v8rhaxusn31_2ddYZq9mBnvm_syDfyNXNEIVe17FfVg02qZsXVz_LqRt8hit1V4OnezOOQ6QOXPsU0BF_VA5LEiGEeU_7_o26oluBupXfh63xzboMhznp3BemEi9wLqMZpFeg/s1600/P5080387.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQUJll2v8rhaxusn31_2ddYZq9mBnvm_syDfyNXNEIVe17FfVg02qZsXVz_LqRt8hit1V4OnezOOQ6QOXPsU0BF_VA5LEiGEeU_7_o26oluBupXfh63xzboMhznp3BemEi9wLqMZpFeg/s320/P5080387.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5604954489950260834" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvTVW2eL9Ezs0g5Qu-mEiCfYAbXPiywJjlEpUDqAj71Dv6SKMabL1JKGox9uQN1VYlk31kbogMtk5Bi8NC_Cl1mTUREXvwtwAhdaMz_pwqj1ZUzoiTmSUAgpwZf56YK5CY75-WMye9pQ/s1600/P5080394.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvTVW2eL9Ezs0g5Qu-mEiCfYAbXPiywJjlEpUDqAj71Dv6SKMabL1JKGox9uQN1VYlk31kbogMtk5Bi8NC_Cl1mTUREXvwtwAhdaMz_pwqj1ZUzoiTmSUAgpwZf56YK5CY75-WMye9pQ/s320/P5080394.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5604954489015427394" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGIWIPCpQGtliUJ5oLt3qgpINZocoOn_adKXNaZPD6WTTVwOLx56CKljma5i5LxeVXdvqkzPZE3JSk9y84FMwaGVOZcjbwK38-XT4dUQzt3vkSxHYJB8churezGz39QjFKCIhHZRt8Ag/s1600/P5080398.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGIWIPCpQGtliUJ5oLt3qgpINZocoOn_adKXNaZPD6WTTVwOLx56CKljma5i5LxeVXdvqkzPZE3JSk9y84FMwaGVOZcjbwK38-XT4dUQzt3vkSxHYJB8churezGz39QjFKCIhHZRt8Ag/s320/P5080398.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5604954485141647362" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjG_Q8R_ZpMkxEqClL3d4BAkwA7dgfvrnCDZyrBFclEWKJcrQKs1FORrRbe4ETlL3U2bsYki_cILxnJXwstTqicnIaA0cy0EcPIYKS766PBwqBc07CcfP5W9ksOl3lVfXncJl2JtV7hAA/s1600/P5080399.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjG_Q8R_ZpMkxEqClL3d4BAkwA7dgfvrnCDZyrBFclEWKJcrQKs1FORrRbe4ETlL3U2bsYki_cILxnJXwstTqicnIaA0cy0EcPIYKS766PBwqBc07CcfP5W9ksOl3lVfXncJl2JtV7hAA/s320/P5080399.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5604952632344559138" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLP9I2uhWIsVbMar6Ncf8gUouguiaTZdfu3aO_XvKtkoQsr76gnNpOaaDmIIz86BfUsd1A-RV_GtiNDFd4b6jBYmkna_zTabSdF0f5RaNse-UFqE6D_DTki26SGn7KzyoLb_9hSxW1jw/s1600/P5080400.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLP9I2uhWIsVbMar6Ncf8gUouguiaTZdfu3aO_XvKtkoQsr76gnNpOaaDmIIz86BfUsd1A-RV_GtiNDFd4b6jBYmkna_zTabSdF0f5RaNse-UFqE6D_DTki26SGn7KzyoLb_9hSxW1jw/s320/P5080400.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5604952627964166130" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC87RYFQzakU4g-VgfKkaGQtV-TH4m8nVvf5_du4zaUuUBLwT_x7L08HH61sfJs6P-VJC49Y0FmZYAr5CjqrnnLCwWrzcWw-ZBUSJWLCvMBorvLXDXcpSdbWn_OIvM-7FHifHSRYwHpA/s1600/P5080401.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC87RYFQzakU4g-VgfKkaGQtV-TH4m8nVvf5_du4zaUuUBLwT_x7L08HH61sfJs6P-VJC49Y0FmZYAr5CjqrnnLCwWrzcWw-ZBUSJWLCvMBorvLXDXcpSdbWn_OIvM-7FHifHSRYwHpA/s320/P5080401.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5604952626876991202" /></a>fabuleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09692505811311404491noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14587023482985411.post-58463422461933238992011-05-09T21:56:00.000-07:002011-05-09T22:05:15.851-07:00Mon, 9 May 2011<br /><br />Well, I have no idea what to write, seeing that I just talked to some of you. But this week was really rainy, Spring is in full effect here with all the rain storms and with how humid it is. The weather never gets above 70 degrees, but with the humidity being at 90 or even 100 percent, it feels so much hotter. <br /><br />HAPPY MOTHERS DAY FOR THOSE I DIDN'T GET TO SAY IT TO!!!!! You can't understand how much you mean to your kids, even if they are off doing there own thing. They do appreciate you, so I hope every mom out there had a great Mother's Day. <br /><br />So now I'm down to single digit weeks left. Elder Beus keeps reminding me and it was a shocker to think that all together there are 104 weeks and now I'm down to nine. That's a lot of weeks done ...... and it doesn't even feel like its been two years.<br /><br />I hope all of you have a great week. Please remember who you are and what your full potential is in the site of the Lord. <br /><br />Much Love, <br />Elder Rogersfabuleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09692505811311404491noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14587023482985411.post-10058399291375574652011-05-02T22:47:00.000-07:002011-05-02T22:49:17.030-07:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjK-rw6Efl3WWdwSSmH9G0spFNjU4W71P0j-SCMqqJzn-1evGfv12Ej-urKHMS4JqVgEAq6hw49g7oInCOMxdp6MnjXZGgTBfMqh-zPfjuOmiTQV3bpm3j3Kw7Hm9jq6zwy0cLFGn1Yhg/s1600/mail.google.com.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 221px; height: 166px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjK-rw6Efl3WWdwSSmH9G0spFNjU4W71P0j-SCMqqJzn-1evGfv12Ej-urKHMS4JqVgEAq6hw49g7oInCOMxdp6MnjXZGgTBfMqh-zPfjuOmiTQV3bpm3j3Kw7Hm9jq6zwy0cLFGn1Yhg/s400/mail.google.com.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5602362844724716514" /></a>fabuleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09692505811311404491noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14587023482985411.post-57373723850969697962011-05-01T16:56:00.000-07:002011-05-02T22:40:51.997-07:00Mon, 2 May 2011<br /><br />So I totally forgot to mention that we had a General Authority coming, well he already came to our mission. (Elder Golden from the 1ST Quorum of the Seventy). It was such a cool Zone Conference. He taught us a lot. He opened it up for about two hours, just to questions that anyone may have about the gospel. I think it was the best General Authority experience I have had on my mission. He really was into the missionaries and you could see the love that he had, not only for the Savior, but for us personally. He walked around to all of us to shake our hands, but not only did he do that, he put his other hand on your opposing shoulder. It was incredible how the Spirit over took you just to feel the love that was radiating off of this servant of the Lord. It will be something that I will always remember. <br /><br />So on Sunday, we had stake conference which then an Area Seventy showed up and out of all the people that could come, Elder Marriott came, (the owner of Marriott Hotels) and you couldn't even tell that he was a very wealthy man. He looked like everyone else and he even came down out of the stand before the conference to shake people's hands. He is about 80 years old, but for being old, he really has a great firm hand shake still, ha. But he was really awesome to listen to, but the sad thing was that I had to stare at the back of everyone's heads the whole conference. We sang in the choir and so we sat up in the choir seats and stayed there the whole conference. All around it was a great week filled with the Spirit, the way it should be. <br /><br />Much loves. I hope every mother out there has a great Mother's Day <br /><br />Love, Elder Rogersfabuleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09692505811311404491noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14587023482985411.post-41110100083089059452011-05-01T16:41:00.000-07:002011-05-01T16:44:31.010-07:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0P52PZ_y58T7gWmheqHs7hIbVNKJ-GKRVJ_hOnNjXRPfOwmJWAUgxX7Fl8-PIR-aPAA2gdQZWZQkTxjblCatDCQdEklNV27ofYoEzey1ZS3fvuUei2gSPJsmhom3hgJihtnMd3D2GeQ/s1600/IMG_0248.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0P52PZ_y58T7gWmheqHs7hIbVNKJ-GKRVJ_hOnNjXRPfOwmJWAUgxX7Fl8-PIR-aPAA2gdQZWZQkTxjblCatDCQdEklNV27ofYoEzey1ZS3fvuUei2gSPJsmhom3hgJihtnMd3D2GeQ/s320/IMG_0248.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601897717024362018" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz3MVIXtq-t6lMqGMaH2KTeAMHVhj8VnWT2rowjxXQpm-AqzN-0c_frEVcdriTUGB1RVlpqSzsI1zT8QkBmPlSmEAylZubu52PT5W0siRMYYPKdp2czUkLWaFD62YHno6ElqC1bThqmg/s1600/IMG_0246.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz3MVIXtq-t6lMqGMaH2KTeAMHVhj8VnWT2rowjxXQpm-AqzN-0c_frEVcdriTUGB1RVlpqSzsI1zT8QkBmPlSmEAylZubu52PT5W0siRMYYPKdp2czUkLWaFD62YHno6ElqC1bThqmg/s320/IMG_0246.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601897714386453170" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3oQ4V4DPyMPR4AUylIdSFkMnS-lz4FRELV6Z62WcDIA8dWNxO9yRqHbKMW-axvqrBxTgSiFcyNla3Z_GgAc8LO8ophbi5c5tkKVg5qPBrGGY__mmZSVgEfT8pTpBYhCxBXVeXu2FEGg/s1600/IMG_0227.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3oQ4V4DPyMPR4AUylIdSFkMnS-lz4FRELV6Z62WcDIA8dWNxO9yRqHbKMW-axvqrBxTgSiFcyNla3Z_GgAc8LO8ophbi5c5tkKVg5qPBrGGY__mmZSVgEfT8pTpBYhCxBXVeXu2FEGg/s320/IMG_0227.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601897710192519074" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHkCFrRDgBHZUD4-L0XWFJROYjhckqR7rimzezUr4XZlVN5oxwX3VAw17JTgAFTWfSEl67Q-xe-jsKgOm_1FZ-b4gjwjJX57MOBfoHIjvBypEBp3BurQAPDVyiZcPg42wm-UjcvureVw/s1600/IMG_0203.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHkCFrRDgBHZUD4-L0XWFJROYjhckqR7rimzezUr4XZlVN5oxwX3VAw17JTgAFTWfSEl67Q-xe-jsKgOm_1FZ-b4gjwjJX57MOBfoHIjvBypEBp3BurQAPDVyiZcPg42wm-UjcvureVw/s320/IMG_0203.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5601897704595633794" /></a>fabuleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09692505811311404491noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14587023482985411.post-10585777747072420552011-04-27T19:34:00.000-07:002011-04-27T20:21:02.025-07:00Tue, 26 Apr 2011<br /><br />This week was amazing. We had a baptism, lol, the Macloeds. They are really sweet people. The only reason why I haven't mentioned anything about them, because we have been teaching them, they are products of a member in the ward. The member did the discussions and all, now of course they had to be taught by "us," so what we ended up doing is going with the members to the teaching appointments and were able to see to it that everything got done the way it needs to be. It was great, they really are elect. They have soaked up everything. They came to church for a month before they were baptized and so they are really converted to the gospel. That was the highlight of the week. I can't thank the Lord enough for that experience of being able to know these children of God. <br /><br />Much Love Everyone, <br />Love Elder Rogersfabuleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09692505811311404491noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14587023482985411.post-22369266189566110252011-04-24T18:29:00.000-07:002011-04-24T18:32:56.580-07:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjihp9yG-DnX4ro_wphYdHNii5nnwidewGk8s3coLrOfnYJ1UFc7iLmSh24aSG33fURvxTy7msadjbk8fFwhAJkR20mY-ugREeudezjWEtzGub6Ksvz3jbBHb-poxTYxYHAhAp318L1WA/s1600/IMG_0191.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjihp9yG-DnX4ro_wphYdHNii5nnwidewGk8s3coLrOfnYJ1UFc7iLmSh24aSG33fURvxTy7msadjbk8fFwhAJkR20mY-ugREeudezjWEtzGub6Ksvz3jbBHb-poxTYxYHAhAp318L1WA/s320/IMG_0191.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5599328054753222866" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGfSJImWGM8UUpZSONDL7uI2PsQO17cqK76W5s7b8uaXSQ8X-m5RSe1b-T21_wULlLfiC-PnsF3yKQZCqZhumpf-6Af66rcitBxK_JLe6nz65LZCApU4hkbPMUIsqxAkmgdXfPM-Yc-w/s1600/IMG_0182.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGfSJImWGM8UUpZSONDL7uI2PsQO17cqK76W5s7b8uaXSQ8X-m5RSe1b-T21_wULlLfiC-PnsF3yKQZCqZhumpf-6Af66rcitBxK_JLe6nz65LZCApU4hkbPMUIsqxAkmgdXfPM-Yc-w/s320/IMG_0182.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5599327707131991874" /></a> <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnS7Jkq0yuFriX0x-LOiIGIYZnwqVpH57TjDuxZcqEGpY7xG_LZPuR3K16NZsQ-9f6W1NYy8S_rghZcyN9s7bUQ5lu0O719qBKwH-j_mjxS7BqEyPMlHxiVApm1A1-neNownH5ksH9CA/s1600/IMG_0174.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnS7Jkq0yuFriX0x-LOiIGIYZnwqVpH57TjDuxZcqEGpY7xG_LZPuR3K16NZsQ-9f6W1NYy8S_rghZcyN9s7bUQ5lu0O719qBKwH-j_mjxS7BqEyPMlHxiVApm1A1-neNownH5ksH9CA/s320/IMG_0174.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5599327705807648994" /></a>fabuleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09692505811311404491noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14587023482985411.post-34183666577666582652011-04-24T18:06:00.000-07:002011-04-24T18:15:19.882-07:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9bkaUUo9rcDv6XPeMPJnANGyiWsmsEzHQbQSxCf6ZVDOb20gtnjaTOtuY0poAvc58K3RtaAtEB3O0XcVUekMAJMfQ7Vj5iBTpoAThE5orEhpVee_5yVFTpC29E4FrerOg-WJx4o-wJA/s1600/IMG_0258%255B2%255D.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9bkaUUo9rcDv6XPeMPJnANGyiWsmsEzHQbQSxCf6ZVDOb20gtnjaTOtuY0poAvc58K3RtaAtEB3O0XcVUekMAJMfQ7Vj5iBTpoAThE5orEhpVee_5yVFTpC29E4FrerOg-WJx4o-wJA/s320/IMG_0258%255B2%255D.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5599323459938882866" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6eiS7uFl3I_myqo_DWSCQ_JE21f9_s_xS9uQQMV7gg2OZpp4TI9cJB7beHX3ejXj9Xpc5M_E5Ip2hjPmg06lPzg5tWE4KBw4cbEcL1Y0fV-sdWIpXIarM_6H8kjjmZIWvhxbM5y1G1w/s1600/IMG_0265.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6eiS7uFl3I_myqo_DWSCQ_JE21f9_s_xS9uQQMV7gg2OZpp4TI9cJB7beHX3ejXj9Xpc5M_E5Ip2hjPmg06lPzg5tWE4KBw4cbEcL1Y0fV-sdWIpXIarM_6H8kjjmZIWvhxbM5y1G1w/s320/IMG_0265.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5599322837817001874" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdNhY2PCM6tkQ5Rar-YZbK54EXyJLruGPCBrVLzc3Bw3mbGXjvh-1qaobVzNdqet69HaRL9vSHklIdwLxWfdBBt22wQAptdD253LcAvHd2SpksXUV5UozTnorsgEukDWEltRW5tW57ng/s1600/IMG_0273.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdNhY2PCM6tkQ5Rar-YZbK54EXyJLruGPCBrVLzc3Bw3mbGXjvh-1qaobVzNdqet69HaRL9vSHklIdwLxWfdBBt22wQAptdD253LcAvHd2SpksXUV5UozTnorsgEukDWEltRW5tW57ng/s320/IMG_0273.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5599322833668691074" /></a>fabuleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09692505811311404491noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14587023482985411.post-38938931531508524582011-04-22T01:17:00.000-07:002011-04-22T01:36:11.716-07:00Mon, 18 Apr 2011<br /><br />So this marks the end of another transfer and now I have only 3 months left. - the last two. DUH DUH DUH........... Elder Beus, (one of the missionaries I served with and who is now in my same apartment but different area), keeps reminding me on how many days we have left and it's really hard to think about it, so please people keep the days to yourself and don't tell me. I still have a duty, not only that, it is my priesthood duty and I can't have any distractions from that. It's hard enough already, ha.<br /><br />So this week we actually did really well. We have an investigator on date for may 28Th and of course we have a lot to overcome with her. She smokes like a chimney and she is currently married and not living with her husband though, so we have a long way to go with her. But she knows it's true and she knows this is what she needs to do and so that helps a lot. Other than that, we had a hard week. We had to go to the doctor for Elder Neilson and not only that, my back started acting up on me..... the worst it's been since I have left home. So I took a whole day off to give it a rest, which it definitely needed, but it was good and I'm fine now, just a little sore. Elder Neilson though is doing great. He is getting into the groove of things and really starting to look and feel and act like a missionary, not on account of me, but the Lord is really transforming this boy to the man he needs to be for the rest of his life. Anyways I thank God for all I have been given because I know I can do nothing without him. <br /><br />Love you all, <br />Elder Rogersfabuleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09692505811311404491noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14587023482985411.post-34127809986608709652011-04-21T00:12:00.000-07:002011-04-21T00:33:21.883-07:00Mon, 11 Apr 2011<br /><br />Hey everyone, <br /><br />This week was really great. Elder Neilson and I did really well. I believe success isn't based on the amount of baptisms because if it was I should be really depressed right now, ha. But I'm not, so thats awesome. This week we had a lot of just open time and I just didn't want to spend the whole time knocking on doors. I think it's unfair to Elder Neilson to do that all day, so we called up a few less actives in our area and said "hey can we come and see you and just share a spiritual message." They said yes so we did this with two families and both of them came out to church. It was so awesome to see a less active family come to church. The feeling you get from seeing someone take the sacrament, who you helped get there, is amazing. It really was an amazing feeling to think that we helped two families come back to church, hopefully for good and partake of Christ's forgiveness. The other person we had out to church was a former investigator who we tracked into. So knocking did help this week. We found her teaching record and called up the fellowshiper and ask them about this women and they said go and see her she almost got baptized but just has a few word of wisdom problems so we called her up and tried to set up an appointment but instead we invited her out to church and she came. The fellowshiper brought her out and said that they would get in contact with us when they set an appointment. It was a really good Sunday for us. I felt really blessed. So you how much the Lord really does look after you and the efforts you put forth for him. <br /><br /><br />I love all of you,<br />Elder Jordan N. Rogersfabuleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09692505811311404491noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14587023482985411.post-41932666924259633112011-04-10T15:03:00.000-07:002011-04-10T15:26:02.937-07:00Mon, 4 Apr 2011<br /><br />So this week was interesting to say the least, <br /><br />Well let's start at the top. Elder Neilson got here and he hopped out of the assistants truck just star struck. He looked like a deer in the head lights, it was so funny to see, but I just kept that comment to myself. We got all unpacked and really right then left the apartment and hit the pavement. As we were knocking on doors and just talking to people I was humbled and thought a lot about my first few months in the mission field and how many things I said that were probably very awkward, seeing that most of the things that were coming out of Elder Neilson's mouth were very awkward but that's why I'm here. I just very polity gave him suggestions of correction and did a few demonstrations so he could see how it should be done but when he would get up to a door he would just get so nervous and forget completely what I told him. But that's ok he is still learning and it will take some time. <br /><br />So conference eh? Wow what a great time in the mission field for us to hear from those special people. It was my final one on the mission and go figure they talk about marriage and how we need to make it our first priority, it about knocked me off my feet. I have so many plans ahead and definitely, that wasn't on top. Anyways, that was one theme that I saw, but another one that I really liked that stood out to me was that a lot of the General Authorities talked about becoming as little children and how important it is to be striving for humility, patience, and love. All those Christ like qualities that children possess, which include and especially, purity and cleanliness. I absolutely love knowing that we have a Prophet of God on the earth again and that he truly receives revelation for the whole earth. <br /><br />Much love everyone, <br /><br />Elder <br />Jordan N.
