alrighty Fam!
Quick update on me! I am loving Mt. Vernon, it is such an awesome area, the people are great and i know im here for a reason! Teaching is going very well! We have 4 investigators now! so we have made so much progress. The Lord has been pouring down blessings in an endless shower it feels like! its so awesome and I love being able to share the gospel. Its the most rewarding work! We have three girl investigators vee, jennifer, and brandi. All three of them are on different levels and have different needs but we are so happy to be teaching them! And our 4th investigators name is Clint. Hes way cool! His girlfriend is a member. Hes super open to learning and has good faith in god. So we just gotta keeping teaching him, get him and his girlfriend married and then we can baptize him! haha itll be a work in progress:)
Sister Murphy and I are getting along great! We like to jam to Mormon Tabernacle Choir in the car. Our current favorites are "Battle of Jericho" "Down to the river to pray" and "Old time religion" We get em stuck in our heads pretty easy haha we also like to make bets. The winner of these bets are ALWAYS rewarded with cheesecake from the other person. So you can see why we like making bets! hahha So yeah we are doing pretty solid! She plays the piano so we are gonna try and do a musical number in sacrament sometime. We will see if it works out though.
Our new mission president starts presiding today!!! President Jensen! We get to meet him on wednesday at zone conference so thatll be sweet! Im one of the three missionaries hes interviewing after zone conference.... YIKES! So i gotta look really good and be in my best dress! wish me luck! hahah
Thats a quick update on me! Hope yall are doing great! Have fun at brodys party today! Tell him aunt hay hay says hi and that she misses him! Did he get the letter i sent?? hope so... I colored it and everything!! haha Sadi... henrys and yours are on the way.
Anyways, I want to leave you guys with my testimony. The Book of Mormon is the truest book on this earth and it is the most important book as well. It is so vital that we feast upon its words every single day! As Ive come to knoe of the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon through the Holy Ghost, Ive come to know by that same power that Jesus Christ is the savior and redeemer of the world. It is only through His Atonement that we are saved. Bear testimony and share the blessings of the Atonement any chance you get cause the Atonement is what changes people. Thats a promise. It WILL change people.

I love you guys so much! You guys are the greatest family in the entire world! Everyday you are evidence to me that God loves us, because of the pure happiness I receive when i am with you, get letters from you, or even talk about you! I love you ALL! Thanks for the many prayers!!!

Love Sister Rogers
