Hey you guys,

Well I'm doing good, I know it's been a while since I have written a letter to the whole world!

So this week was okay! nothing to great! I would just like to say I have a huge testimony on prayer! 2 Weeks ago I contacted a girl from Spain, and we talked and chatted for a little bit and then I had to go, so I left her my card, but I should have taken her information as well, and I didn't. I prayed to our Father in Heaven to give me another chance and to put her in my path again. For a week straight I prayed, and one night my companion and i were on the metro coming home, and my comp says 'hey isn't that Spain girl from last week? I turn around and look, and it's her, I go contact her and she tries to bise me and hug me, and it was awkward because I didn't let her, (to bise is to kiss on the cheak like all the latinos do) but I was able to talk to her and see how she was doing and I did things right this time and invited her to learn more about Jesus Christ and she accepted! it was a huge testimony builder to know that God answers prayers! If you have doubts, just get on your knees and pray to God for answers, he is ready to answer you, he just wants you to ask! I love you all and I hope all is well in life for each and every one of you!

Love Elder Rogers

Que Dieu vous benisse!

Hello Everyone!!

Its time for the new episode of the week! and it is intense! so we fixed to have dinner with Ali and Kikuae last friday and that day was hectic! we had three rendezvous in one day but we were able to do it! i was stoked all day to have a lesson with Ali! so we get there, had some bomb food, and then we started our lesson! so the first thing i asked him was if he prayed, and he said he did, but he didnt recieve an answer, i testified to him that he will get an answer, he just has to continue praying! so then i asked him if he had any questions, and he said 'ya, do you belive that only mormons go to heaven and if your not mormon then you go to hell?' and it shocked me because we planned to teach him the plan of salvation! and it was such a good lesson! i love that he asked questions too! and whats cool is that his wife was kinda helping us as well! but then we ended on the celestial glories and bore our testimonies on that, and i promised him blessings and it flowed so perfect into the baptismal invitation and i took up the courage, not having planned before hand to invite him, and invited him to be baptised when he has received an answer to his prayers....and what do you know, he accepted! and whats even cooler, he is so patient! he told us, i know God willl answer me, i just have to wait and keep praying until he does! it was a miracle! i really feel like the Lord sent me to this ville for a reason and that i have stayed this long for a reason! my companion doesnt know them very well but i do and i love this family! on saturday i get to go watch him play rugby! they invited us to his game! so coool! the pharmacy guy we havnt been able to see, he has been busy but he wants us to come on wednesday! funny story about this guy, we stopped by his house, no one was there, but we see this family that he knows around the corner and so we went to say hi and they were staring down at the road drain, and our investigator comes crawling out of the drain, it was so funny! this 50 year old dude coming out from the ground! apparently he dropped his keys down there! such a good man! i miss you all and i hope that you are all doing great and that you are living your lives with happiness and joy in Christ our savior! i love you all! have a good week!

Elder Rogers
