Hola Familia!
As usual I want to thank you for all of your words of advice and all of your support. I could not have done it without you. I printed off dads email here at the Library, and I studied it along with presidents email in my personal study. Dad I cannot tell you how many times I used the words that you said in Lessons, and in our District training. You truly were inspired. I know it. And then mom, I recieved both of your letters (which by the way I get the mail the same amount of time as I used to. So no worries) But I got your letter and I just started to cry. My parents are such great support, and they truly are intitled to recieve revelation for me. Mom as you said, you felt that good things were about to come. Good things have come!! More than you can imagine. I will copy and paste the story from presidents email, regarding time. But the Daniels family that we met, they are truely sent from God. Sister Daines and I have been so happy. All we can think about is this family that we met. Its so nice to finally have investigators to worry and think about, instead of thinking of all the things that we are missing out on at home. Heavenly father has allowed Angels to lead our footsteps to the Daniel family, and we are so honored and grateful to be able to be God's instruements and teach them, and help them come closer to their Savior Jesus Christ:)
Our mission conference was AMAZING. Elder Soares spoke to us, and of course President and Sister Anderson. We were filled with words of wisdom. I got do see EVERY SINGLE PERSON in the mission. Yes. I was SO excited to see my "mom" Sister Bean. We both ran up to each other and just gave each other the biggest hug ever. We both were just crying. I really do love her so much. I have been beyond blessed to have such great companions out here in Florida. God has been very good to me. If you could continue to pray for Sister Daines and I to stay together another transfer that would be great:)
I want to tell you how amazing our bishop is. Just yesterday we were trying to find a ride for the Daniels family to get to church. We told him that Herbert (the dad) was a little rough looking on the outside, but has a heart of Gold. We need someone that wouldn't be intimidated by him to give him a ride. The bishop replied in text and said, "Give me their address and their phone number, and I will pick them up at 9:10 tomorrow!" (ps. this is the black family that I have been dreaming and praying for:) ) Because of him, Herbert, Lakivia, Ulisses, Herbert Jr. Sincere, Abella, and Atner. They are SO ADORABLE!! the dad is amazing. Hes bald, with a huge beard, tattoes, and grills. Haha I just love this family! Keep them in your prayers!
Sorry that my email has really been scattered all over the place, I just wish I could tell you everything! Just know that all your prayers, and hugs have been felt this week. When I truly needed them. You were there:) Youre always in mine as well! I love you family!!!! So much:)
Con mucho amor, Su hija, y hermana, Hermana Rogers:)
Here's a letter Kacey included that she wrote to her President about her week of miracles....
Dear President,
This week was truly a week of miracles. I know without a doubt that Heavenly father puts us in the situation that we go through for a reason. Last week was a really hard week and we were not finding anyone that was prepared. We found many people that accepted return appointments but then either wouldn't be at home, or changed their minds.
We were checking up on a Harvest blessing that we had left a couple days back to this cute family of 7. We had prayed with the mother of the home and her 5 children. As we knocked on the door, a man, answered the door. Who turn out to be the husband of the the lady we had blessed. We started talking to him. He seemed to be a very faithful man, and accepted prayer right away. He recognized us as Angels. We prayed for him, and he asked us to include his neighbor that had been causing him and his family a lot of trouble, and the people in the neighborhood as well. We gave him a book of mormon, and he said, "I am so excited to read this book. I knew there was something more to the bible!" We invited him to be baptized and he said, "Im looking forward to it!" We left that home, with the spirit so strong. We carried it with us the rest of the day. It was a feeling that I had never felt before! The next day we returned to this man. He opened the door, and came out and said, "You girls! You are AMAZING!" He began to explain that the prayer we said the other day, was answered! His neighbor had gone to jail! His whole family was so excited, and the neighbors as well. He told us that we was reading in Nephi, and he just knew that this was the word of God. We taught him the Restoration, and he knew without of doubt that Joseph Smith was a prophet of God. He came to Stake Conference yesterday withe his whole family. Afterwards, we asked him how he liked the service, and he said, "To tell you the truth, there is nothing like that. I felt like I was in another world! This place is amazing, and everyone is so friendly!" We set them with dates, the whole family, and they all said yes! We are so excited. President, I know this is what God has been preparing us for. This amazing family of 7 that is more than prepared to recieve the truth, and come unto their Savior Jesus Christ. I have been so grateful. I have been able to keep staying Diligent and Obedient, and I know that because of Sister Daines and I, and our hard work, that God is able to work miracles through us. As long as we do our part, God with touch our stones. We are so excited to see this family enter the waters of baptism!

I want to add a little part for you all to hear. After Church, the bishop took over Herbert to meet President Anderson. Herbert went straight up to President with us by his side and said, "I want you to know that these two girls, are angels. They were sent from God. They answered the prayers of my family, and myself. I am looking forward to my baptismal date, and I will do anything that I need to!" Sister Daines, and I were sitting there listening to his words, with tears streaming out of our eyes. His words hit me so deeply. The spirit was so strong, and President looked into our eyes, and just looked so happy and proud of us. I cannot even believe this week. It has been such a miracle.
