Well this
week is conference—it is so exciting. I can't wait to hear from the
prophets and apostles. I feel so inspired every time we get an
opportunity even to read the talks that are given to help inspire and bless
us.
This week
was Zone Conference and the president of the Seventy came and spoke to us.
It was incredible the words that he spoke. He said that the church could
double its member ship in 10 years. When he said that it impacted me so
much to think that if we really obey the prophet’s council, many people will
experience the same happiness and joy we get from being a part of the Lord's
kingdom here on earth. Through my mission I have struggled with
overcoming being shy, which is something pretty common for anyone that knows me. But the most amazing thing is that with the
Savior I have been able to take leaps of faith that a year of go would have
made me shutter. So there is hope for all of you that desire to share the
gospel, but are maybe a bit nervous to do it.
Well we
will just say that this week was a trial of slow-moving progress.
Everything just happened so fast and before I knew it the week was done and our
numbers didn't look as if we had done much. However, we did do a lot of
service. We painted Sister Melendez’s wooden play house, which was a lot
of fun. Afterwards she opened up to us about how she wants to prepare
herself for the temple, but there are a few obstacles standing in her way.
Please pray for her. She really needs it.
I love you all.
Sister Rogers
