Well it sure has been crazy week we had two more baptisms Saturday and they both went through great and this week has been full week of activities leading up to ward conference we had yesterday.
ok for talent show ........our skit. well....I got bottle and wrote gospel cola on it (evangelio cola )and then me and Funtealba found a bum on the street the old ward mission leader of last year and he was acting.....had no purpose in life his girlfriend dumped him. He was smoking and drinking and ready to give up. Me and my comp come in speed walking with backpacks passing out stuff and giving hand shakes to everyone ......It was good and find the dude and give him the cola then he leaves. He had a blanket up his shirt looked chubby. 5 seconds later enters Elder Watters skinnier and happier and doing pushups and jumping jacks and we said and that’s what the change of gospel does in life! There was story teller on mike and we just acted but it was good laugh. It was great people were laughing so hard and we were speed walking shaking hands.......
Yes we have a ward mission leader and we had 16 lesson with members this week and things are just rolling I’ve never worked so hard in my whole life then to this point. We also had steal the flag game in Friday and it was fun I got tackled by about 37 little Peruvian kids in ward and neighborhood who came and played. We put flags on top of b-ball hoop and I was only one that could jump up there and get it hehe....the ward conference and baptisms went real well too and lots of people came!
Well this week we found 4 referrals and things are going to start getting crazy
Dad I want you to know I dedicate my life to this church to and love you all
We are going to take out citas/ appointments with people who want to come work with us. The other day we went with 6 hehe to one house. we really have lots of confidence in the ward and lots of help and are enjoying the fruits
I love you all and am so excited for General conference this week. I’ll be thinking of you muah!!!!!!!!!
Love your son Jon

Hey family!!!!!!!!!!! 3-23-09
Woof got lots to report on today. I’m so glad everyone had a wonderful time at the happiest place on earth. That is awesome. I love pirates rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr..hehe!! Happy b-day dad!! I love you and congratulations Jordan on Maryland Baltimore. que bueno que podremos hablar español junto primo! Hehe that is way exciting! Happy anniversary ang and tj how exciting!I’m so happy, I have such a great fam and friends muah!Well this week we just had one not three baptisms, but it was still a great baptism the sister of Elsa. It was so awesome and I was blessed to baptism her. I have felt the sprit so strong this whole week and can feel the change in my heart for my whole situation and the great blessing I have to help these people and just no to worry about myself. I have seen miracles and this lady is so shy but was so happy last night and our ward is just on fire. We finally got a ward mission leader called and he is my best bud. He is the brother of one the 3 of our converts. We are starting today on the work! I’m so excited!
It’s been a great week for me. We had conference and it was a answer to my prayers. We talked on three things. #1 that perfect obedience would bring blessings from the Lord even perfect health. Lately I’ve really just tried to loose myself and I’ve never felt better and I really am happy! #2we also talked about not seeking positions of leadership and just giving all the glory to the Lord and I thought that was so good. I really like one thing in particular about being a true disciple of the Lord. Disciple comes from disaple and this week I have really tried to put off natural man and just go at it! Its amazing what the mission does to a Young man. #3 Putting the Lord first always and putting goals on oneself to always be better. It’s so awesome and just hearing all my friends and what everyone’s doing in there life just makes me so proud to be a member of this church!I love being a missionary but sometimes it’s like football---- it’s hard but after I know I’m just going to miss it , This week we got lots going on. We have a talent show I’ll have to see what I can pull out of my sleeve. Thanks so much for all the love and support everyone.
I love you all!!!Your son in lama land Elder roger

Dear fam!!!!!!!How is everyone I’m so glad to hear that things are going great and that life continues to click on. We got some fun dates coming up anniversary’s and b-days. I wish all you love birds ani, and ang happy days!’ That’s way fun Clint that you are going to Disneyland. I rember my first trip to Disneyland. I was so excited! I think the highlight was riding with dad on the pirates and him telling me the stories. I’ve always loved pirates! I also enjoyed the goofy scream from dad on splash mountain. Clint give Jeter a paper plate to write all rides down hehe remember…Thanks so much mom and dad for love and support and all packages. I really appreciate it. I love you so much, it sounds like D.O. is doing great! It’s always a joy hearing about my buds tearing it up. It inspires me hehe! We didn’t change times down here but it is getting darker earlier.I’m so excited about 26 Oct baby, bood! Tell me how it goes , and tell me where Jordan is headed to okWell i just want to start out by saying I’m so sorry for having a bad attitude and kind of complaining last week as you know some weeks are better then others and this last little while has been real tough on me and my mind, but I’m tough. I sure love all the support and love for me thanks so much!!! Sorry for complaining!I am so so blessed yesterday we watched the video of Heber C. Kimball in church how he left his wife and kids in bed being sick himself to go on mission. He was on his mission for many years . I liked the part in the movie that showed the Elders get up from their sick bed in the back of the wagon. Elder Kimball and the others said, “ stop we cant leave like this.” Then they stood up and gave 3 cheers. I loved the Spanish translation Heber C. said quote, “ its so hard but we got to do it…as he stood up with other men and shouted three times huara!!!!!!!!! For Israel!!!!!!!!!! I was bawling and was over come by the spirit. I know my trails are nothing and I really am grateful for my test and know it will make me so much better. I’ve always gotten everything I’ve wanted and I still do.. hehe I really am seeing now…. I trust the Lord and I know he loves me! My favorite prophet captain Moroni was so so tough because he was a man that was incredibly grateful to the Lord for his privileges. I am to so grateful. I love all you so much. I will go on in this great cause!This week we put fecha on four people and so that is exciting. I hope we can get some fruit from our labors. One baptism is the hermana de Elsa and we are excited to go down the line until maybe we can get the whole family baptized. I have a testimony of family with missionaries in the field because I know I have 4 or 5 baptisms of families who have brothers on missions and if any of them ever look me up one day and say thanks for teaching their family, I’m going to say it was all of your examples. I hope you can all grow in gospel better with me here.I have come to learn that every baptism is a miracle!I love you all keep living the dream and laugh and know I am doing good!Love your son down in lama land Elder Rogers
