Hey there,

I cannot believe it is already November... i have no idea where this week went. It has been an insanely busy week. Monday night we drove down to Des Moines to stay the night with the sisters because the next day we had Mission Leadership Council in Iowa City. So tuesday we had MLC which was so great. We received some awesome trainings. My favorite was the training by the assistants on our purpose and The Doctrine of Christ. It was stellar and the spirit was so strong! I can't really describe it, but it was such a powerful meeting. Many of the elders were crying even! ha

Tuesday night we drove back up to Des Moines and stayed the night and then drove to Ames the next morning. So I drove about 7 hours total:) It was great! Because on the way down to Iowa City I got to drive a brand new car! A Ford Fusion... had 17 miles on it:) 

On Wednesday we went about doing the greatest work on earth, the work of salvation! Then Thursday we were in Fort Dodge for a Zone Training Meeting and on Friday were in Ankeny and Ames for Zone Training Meetings. We got to train on the gifts of the creation! It was sweet:) Also... on Thursday and Friday we had to be in our apartments at 6 because of halloween and beggar's night. After Friday we were pretty wore out but went hard on Saturday. We were blessed to find a new investigator named Fiona! She came to church yesterday and said she really liked it. Sunday... we went to church. It was my last fast sunday of my mission, so I bore my testimony. Then we had a few lessons later that night.

Overall this week has been just filled with blessings. Many of which I am unaware of. But I know my purpose here is to labor amongst by brothers and sisters and save souls. There is no better cause to be fighting for, because there is no other way we can return to Father in Heaven except through Faith, Repentance, Baptism, Receiving the Gift of the Holy Ghost, and enduring to the end.

Have such a great week!

Love you!

Sister Halee Rogers
