First off, I am so sorry I haven't been writing for the blog lately! Some days we just don't have time. I'll try to be better at it.
A lot has happened this week. We have a 2 week missionary with us. She's 16 and is trying to decide whether to go on a mission when she turns 19. This is just sort of a trial run for her to see what missionary life is like.
We've worked really hard this week to give her all the good (and bad, but we didn't work for those) experiences we can. We picked up trash on the side of the road and a woman came out of her house to give us more trash bags and express her gratitude. Several members honked and waved at us as they drove by, and one brought us all slurpies from 711. The wind was blowing hard, which felt good as we worked. A lot of tender mercies happened that day just from serving the community.
We met several people this week and developed friendships with them. We also had a very good lesson with TK, who has had some trouble reading and understanding the Book of Mormon. He's starting to get it now and understands more of the old language.
One of our investigators, Nancy, invited us over for a lesson this week. We taught about the Book of Mormon and read through the introduction. At the end of the lesson, we invited her to pray about the truth of what the Book of Mormon teaches. She did! She also came to church on Sunday, and said she feels better and better each time she comes.
I've been so blessed this week with seeing God's hand in this work. This really is His work, and we are just a little part of it. I know, I
KNOW that my Redeemer lives.
Love,
Sister Rogerson
