Hey, how are you all this week? Glad to hear
everyone is back into the groove of things.
Mom, I am glad you got my letter in time - perfect
timing that it got to you right on your birthday!!
I must really be in the missionary groove
because I feel like everyday is the same-ha wake up, study. work, teach and
meet new people to teach. It's awesome though . . . time is FLYING by.
The ward I am in right now is awesome . . . we
don’t hardly do anything but all the members present us to their friends and
families that aren’t members. We had Stake Conference this past week and the
WHOLE conference was on member missionary work. Sometimes the members see the
missionaries as a support for the ward and they have to help the members but
its the other way around . . . the members are the support for the missionaries
and the members are supposed to help the missionaries. It can be a lot of work
but their is certainly a lot more of success and new people to teach!
We didn’t have baptisms this week but the next
day is for this upcoming Saturday. We have dates every week from here to the
third week in February. So if everything goes as planned, we should be
baptizing every week :) It’s a good feeling to finally have a little bit more
success than what I have had in the rest of my mission. What you sow, is what
you reap.
Glad to hear there were 2 more baptisms back
home . . . everyone looks so happy :) I don’t remember a single convert baptism
before my mission back home so that’s good there have been a few more!
I am feeling a lot better from last week. I
woke up Tuesday again sick with a stinkin’ cold that was kicking my butt. But I
am doing 100 percent better now.
My next zone conference is the 24th so if you
send the package this week it should get here in time. I don’t have any more
requests but thank you! I got another Christmas package from Nancy (Jennay's
mom) with some Christmas goodies . . . if you see her please tell her thanks
:)
Mom thank you for the updates on mission calls
back home . . . it’s always good to hear where people go on their missions.
I saw Randy this week during interviews and
during the stake conference. He is doing well . . . still a greenie though :)
hahaha He is in the ward that is called Florido. I haven’t seen Brigham since
he got here but he is in the ward that is called Pinos in the Insurgentes Stake.
Oh and Dad yes we all know that President
Carreon is out of here in July. It will be a rough transition between mission
presidents. Does it say where the new
mission president is from??
Mom, the picture with my face on Mr. Incredible
is pretty funny :) It makes me laugh! We actually piled in a mini van this past
week with more members. I was forced to sit in one of the booster sits and I
barely fit . . . Elder Cornejo has pictures so I’ll forward them when I get
them . . . too funny :)
Well that’s about it for this week . . . sorry
it’s so short. Here are some pics of my sector and the picture with the big
black line . . . ha that’s the border of the USA. There are always helicopters
checking to see who is trying to cross right there ha. Living on the border is
wild for sure!
Well, I love and miss you all!
Elder Roper
