In Which We Begin to Reap

Dear Family-

This week was a little crazy! We had a baptism on Saturday and are planning baptismal services for the next 3 Saturdays. Keeping everything straight and sorted out was a little difficult, but thanks to my wonderful companion we were able to do it! How grateful I am for companions who have qualities you don't, like a good memory!

We're especially excited for our baptism this Saturday, the 28. The ones who are getting baptized are 8 and 9, and they are so excited for it! We are too, because we've been working with these two special girls for at least 12 weeks. They are choosing to come unto Christ and follow His example and receive those blessings that are going to help them the rest of their lives!

God is amazing, and He really is in charge of what we're doing!

Have a great week!

Love,

Sister Rogerson

In Which We Prepare for a Baptism

Dear Family-

This week has been a busy one with preparing for the baptism on Saturday! This is the first baptism I've had the privilege of planning, and I have no idea what I'm doing, but luckily my companion is a pro at planning baptisms. All is set, and we are so excited for Saturday.

We had a really spiritual experience with a less-active this week. He told us that he's turned away missionaries in the past, not always nicely. When we came knocking on his door, he just felt like he needed to let us come back. We have.

every week for the past month, and now he's gaining some of that peace of mind he's been searching for. It's because of the gospel. He bore his testimony to us several times and, for 20 minutes, we just took turns bearing our testimonies to one another. The Spirit was so undeniably there. There was no way we could deny the truth of what we were talking about. Sister Busenbark and I left that lesson higher than cloud 9.

I just cannot express to all of you how much this gospel has changed my life. I've been blessed with the privilege of helping it change others' lives for 18 months- a very short amount of time. Not everybody gets to have this opportunity, and I have no idea why God chose me to be one of His servants, but I am grateful that I have this chance!

Go forth in spreading the gospel! Let it change your life and the lives of those you love.

Love,

Sister Rogerson

In Which We are Sick But Carry On

Dear Family-

This week was slow, mostly because both my companion and I were sick. We spent most of the week trying to get better and teaching people in the evening. We have a new investigator who is the girlfriend of a less active member, who didn't like us at first but now is wanting to come to church and read the Book of Mormon. God is great! We are being blessed so much and I don't think we deserve it. Yet amazing things are still happening, and I'm so excited to see the miracles that will continue!

I'll write more next week, promise!

Love,

Sister Rogerson
