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
