Hey Family Thank you so much everyone for your wonderful love that you’ve sent!. There were so many letters of love and packages this month it has been so great!!I got three packages today and 2 letters from Kylee girl!! And one from lish and ty and grandma and a full board of emails! I’m going to have to do some printing this week. Thank you so much for the happiest b-day everyone muah!!!!!!!!!!I’m excited that little Bailey came!! and dad and clint are going to mexico without me? You’ll need a guide hehe!!!!!!!!! Yo puedo ayudarles ahora .Muah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Well I had a great b-day and opened love letters fun pictures and just had a great time. We had a family home evening this Sat. in my behalf and we invited all my best friends. (the recent baptisms in Jauja) Hermana Carolina bought me a cake and wrote Elder “Rogger” on it in blue frosting. We had pizza too! Remember I taught everyone how to make pizza. We took pictures and played some FHE games. I bought the Bob Marly CD to listen to. I think that’s ok for special occasions …. right?.... They threw the cake in my face pretty good, that is the tradition here. I’ll send pictures. We had about 12 people at the party that we have taught and reactivated and that was the most rewarding part it. My party ended with a 3 year old kid doing the Michael Jackson dance thriller for me!!!!!!!! He said he wanted to dance like Elder Rogers. I don’t know were he learned that? He danced the whole song it reminded me of Kason--- it was so funny. It was a little sad too we have changes today and I’m way nervous!It was a great b-day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I am really happy and just my self. It has been great week! I got letter from Bishop Greer and he said hi and good job. He also challenged me to be the missionary that Mom thinks I am. I sure am trying to! I thought that was a cool idea. I love you all and am working hard I feel so good and full of spirit I really do love the people here in Jauja! Even though things are still a little rough at times I’m getting used to it and sometimes I stop and think when I’m sleeping between 3 Latinos on the floor of some little whole in the wall house or eating crap they call food or riding on a buss with 37 people as big as the lume or watching a drunk dude fight or lay in street….. I think am I really here or is this real….. but I’m getting used to it.My companion has let me lead last week in everything to the point its almost annoying but its really helping me and there is no time to sit back and daydream or chill on the job we taught 45 lessons last week!!!!!!!!We are working hard and I’m way tense cause we have changes this week but they still haven’t come…….I will tell you as soon as I know what the changes are. Tell everyone thanks for all the love and tell them I’m doing great. I feel bad I spent some cash and I’m way spoiled but I’m so grateful! Thanks so so so much!Tell everyone to be safe in all there doing and I love you all so much!I’m sorry I couldn’t answer total today but I just got overloaded with lovealways your son in Peru!Elder Rogger
