 Whats good everybody


Went ghost again for a while ik 
so im back rq to let you guys know what's up
Basically Im in the middle of nowhere, been here for about a week and its kind of lit. Im serving in a branch for the first time in my mission. had 21 people at church yesterday in total. Looking to triple that this transfer 

But lemme hit you with a story rq. So this branch could really use some families right, and its always better to have a whole family interested in the gospel together, so this week i been on the hunt for elect families in this tiny town. 

Yesterday after church as we were leaving the house again we kneeled down and prayed and i asked God to help us find 2 families that we can start preparing for baptism to strengthen this branch. Then we went and worked like crazy but nothing was really working all afternoon. Finally we had 2 more houses to visit before calling it night. They were two middle aged brothas i had talked to a couple nights before. They both were at home. Theyre both young fathers with families. And after last night, theyre both reading the Book of Mormon. They both wanna get baptized

I know that God is a God of miracles. This might seem kinda small but it was huge to me. One of my favorite things about the mission is the growth that is so visible in everyone. The friends you teach, the other missionaries around you, and especially yourself. I am so grateful for a Father in Heaven that loves us enough to stretch us and a Savior Jesus Christ that never leaves us lonely

ima wrap up with my new favorite scripture

Mosiah 26:20  
   Thou art my servant; and I covenant with thee that thou shalt have eternal life; and thou shalt serve me and go forth in my name, and shalt gather together my sheep.

Strait heat. This one hit me this week. As servants of the Lord we've already made covenants with God that will lead to eternal life. Now we just got to help more people unlock those blessings too. Im grateful for these 2 years I have to focus on this Gospel and helping people make covenants with God. Shoutout the rest of my missionary squad doing the same thing.

Love you guys
Elder Rogers

  Good morning family and friends Its december now so thats cool Except here in Sergipe, Decembers supposed to be like the hottest month of the year and its already mad hot so woohoo Anyways this is pretty cool too This is Ketily and yesterday she got baptized. She is a media reference, which means she found us we didn't find her and shes been elect from the beginning. Shes also 13 and has a interesting situation at home, but we introduced her to another member her age and now they walk to church together every Sunday. It's been so cool to watch her testimony grow during the time we've been teaching her. And crazy that from one Instagram ad about the Book of Mormon, Ketily now has a new group of friends, a relationship with Jesus Christ, and the gift of the Holy Ghost in her life.  We also have my DAWGS Erick and Dudu that got dunked yesterday  When we invited these kids to be baptized they were literally jumping up and down on the couch they were so excited. This week we...

  Whats good everybody   Im still here in Brazil, sorry for being so terrible at emailing   These first 2 months of 2026 have not been easy, but I have learned so much. Im in inner city Maceio, and my ward hasn't had a baptism in at least 7 months. Ive also spent my 2 transfers here training new missionaries and its so fun but has its challenges. With all of that being said, heres a story rq.   During the week of Christmas, me and my comp started praying to find a family to teach. That week we made a contact in the park with a straight chiller named Pedro. He pointed to where his house was and told us come back the next day, and we left a plan of salvation pamphlet with him. The next day we come back to the house he pointed to, but the people that lived there was not the family of Pedro. Brodie capped, but it happens, we keep it pushing     2 days later were in the same area, we start talking to this older dude and his buddys. Brodies hyped cuz im Amer...
