Listen, then Act.

Hello Everyone!

This week was quite busy! There were a few hurricane warnings, but we were blessed to stay safe. On Tuesday, we spent some time cleaning our carpets and headed up to Virginia for a leadership meeting! (I got some pretty nice landscape pictures on the way up.) Wednesday was our leadership meeting and the Spirit was strong. On Thursday, we planned for our Zone Meeting on Friday.
The Zone meeting was good! We talked a lot about faith. What a powerful principle! Faith was a large topic throughout the General Conference sessions this weekend. I felt my Father in Heaven's love as I listened to the words of living prophets. And that peace and joy was wonderful! But if the only thing these words accomplish is bring feelings of goodness to us, their purpose is lost. We must hear the words of Christ, then put them into our lives. We must listen, then act. That is my invitation to each of you. Ponder the words from our Father in Heaven given this past weekend, then live them. I promise that as you do, the power of God will enter your life. Repentance and dedication to the Lord bring the Spirit in a tremendous way.
I love you all. Have a wonderful week!

With Love,
Elder Rogers
