Family!
Wow. What a week!! Thank you for all your support, once again:) I couldn't be
more thankful for the family I have back home, supporting me, while I am here
on my mission. As you know, it isn't easy being here, away from all of you, but
with all of your help, it was possible to get through the rough
time that I had.
Well, I have great news for all of you! THE DANIELS FAMILY WAS BAPTIZED! Thank
you for all of your prayers for them. Sister Daines and I know that, that was
not done by just us. We had so much help from everyone. This was truly such an
amazing baptism family. Baptisms for one person is amazing, but a baptism for a
family, its a whole other story.
*here is Kaceys explanation of her
wonderful week to her president
President Anderson,
This week was a miracle week. I saw the
Lords hand in everything. As you know, we have been working with the Daniels family. It was truely a miracle,
and a blessing, just to know this family. They are such a prepared family. We had to stay very diligent, and make sure that everything was organized
for this baptism. We were a little nervous, because we had a lot to do on sunday. We had to get the
mother, and the son taught, interviewed, and father interviewed once again. We
knew that we were not going
to be able to do it without the Lords help. We also could not have done it
without the help of the ward. We had two different rides for the Daniels family
to church, and they helped us organize and get everything ready for the
baptism. All of our hard work and Diligence paid of. We had a baptism of 5,
just yesterday. As each of them were baptized, and I knew that Heavenly Father
was so happy for them. He helped us make it possible for this family to be baptized. Seeing the fathers
face, as his children, and wife were baptized, was a face that I truly will
never forget. As we we went
up to talk to him after the baptism, he couldn't stop thanking us. He said,
"Thank you for bringing me and my family here, we couldn't be here without
you." As we all know, this work couldn't have been done with just sister
Daines and I. But with the Lords help, and our diligence, it was a possible. Its moment like these that
I am so thankful for the opportunity that I have to be able to be a missionary,
and help the people here in
South Florida come closer to Christ.
Thanks for all you do President. We are
so grateful for you and Sister Anderson, and all that you do for our mission.
We love you both
Sister Rogers
That's pretty much the story of their amazing baptism. As you could tell, we
had a lot of help from the Elders, the Ward members, and the Lord. I cannot
express my gratitude. This experience is a once in a lifetime kind of
experience. Sister Daines and I had a goal of 5 baptisms for the month, and we
are now moving that goal up to 7. We are going to get two more in this month! We are searching for
families! Which there are a lot of them, they are all over the place. This is going to be possible
because Sister Daines and I really do feel like we are staying together. We had
our interview with President Anderson, and It was great. He is such an amazing
Mission President. He told Sister Daines to prepare to have more sisters in our
house! We aren't sure if we are ready to share it yet.;) Its so clean with just
the two of us;) haha no it will be fun to have more people in there, and yes
like mom said, I will have more clothes to share with;)
Now that The Daniels are baptized, we are working on finding another amazing
family to get baptized. We have been able to meet some amazing people. We blessed a father and his son
and as we were saying this
prayer, the father was crying. He called us the next day, and thanked us. He
thanked us for all that we had done, and for being on a mission, and following
that prompting, so that we could pray with him. It was a really cool
experience. Sister Daines and I actually went back to them, and had a lesson
with their family. We have been carrying a picture of our families with us in
our scriptures, and have been showing everyone. They are all so amazed at how
beautiful our familes are, and we testify that our families are the way they
are becaue of the Gospel. Its a really powerful thing. It makes me really
grateful for my family. Everytime I get to brag about you:) I love you all so
much.
I hope that everything is going well back in St George. Looks beautful from the
pictures that Kort showed me. I really miss the mountains a lot! It will be a
great day when I see them again. I might even want to live in them for a
while;) haha Good luck with planning the wedding! Just make sure you get a cardboard picture
of me there! Ya know, so i can be there;)
Love you all!!! Never forget that:) Thanks for your prayers.
Sister Rogers
