Weekly Update 8-4-14

We received this video from the family that Halee lives with.  It's a few missionaries practicing a musical number for their zone conference.  Click on this link to watch:    "Come Unto Christ"

This is Elder Jackson who currently serves as Halee's District Leader.  They went to high school together but this is the first time they've served in the same area.  I was so excited to meet his mom Jenni the same day these 2 were emailing home.


No details on this picture but it's pretty self explanatory. 


Maisha, Sila & Amani.



Stephane- one of their investigators!




Saying good-bye to Sister Anderson and many other missionaries she has served with.



Sister Anderson- she will miss her so much!














NEW COMPANION!
Excited about her new companion, Sister Egbert!

Hey there!
So this week was Sister Andersen and I's last week together and then she left on Friday to go back home to Utah. I most definitely miss her. She helped me to become better. I am sure I will hear from her soon though!
I have a new companion now here in Iowa City... her name is Sister Cassidy Egbert! She is awesome. She is from Idaho Falls, Idaho and has previously served in Ames, IA and Cedar Rapids, IA. She has been out for 13 months. She's way cool and I like working with her!
This week we sadly moved out of the Hachtman's home and happily moved into the Blau's home! They are great and we have a sweet set up! I feel so blessed! 
Norman got his baptismal interview and passed with flying colors! So his baptism is set for this week on Saturday at 4pm! He is such a stud and I am so happy for him. He really just loves the gospel and his heart is always so open which allows the spirit to teach him! Funny Story.. Earlier this week we were going over the baptismal interview questions with him before his interview and we asked if he believed that Thomas S. Monson was the current prophet on earth.. and he responded by saying that he wasn't too sure about that one yet. So thankfully we had a dvd in the car called, "On the Lord's Errand" Its an hour long and its all about the life and ministry of Thomas S. Monson. So we gave that to him to watch that night and to pray about it. A few hours later we got a call from him telling us that he had already watched it twice!! And then the next day when he returned the movie back to us he told us he had watched it a third time that morning. Needless to say, by the power of the Holy Ghost, Norman now believes Thomas S. Monson is the prophet on eart today. It was sweet!!! And he even fasted on Sunday!! I am so excited for him/

Other than that we just had a lot of planning we did. But I am excited for this transfer.. good things are happening!!!
Love you guys!!!
Love
Sister Rogers
