Grand Caravan Ridin'

Hello Everyone!

I'm in Virginia now! It was a wonderful, crazy, stressful, and fulfilling week! The first three days of the week, I packed and said goodbye to a few of the members in Mt. Olive. I'm definitely going to miss a lot of people down there. On Wednesday, a member drove us to Greenville, NC where transfers took place. I got to ride up to Virginia with two of my past companions, Elder Dudley and Elder Ferrero, so that was fun!

On Thursday was a mission leadership meeting and then Friday was Zone Meeting! It's been 5 months since I've conducted and led a Zone Meeting, so I was a little rusty, but it still went really well. Our Zone is great and everyone was excited and happy.

My new companion is Elder Davis. He's from Layton, Utah and he loves rock climbing. He's been on his mission for almost 18 months. He's great and I'm excited to serve with him here in Suffolk!

We've already seen miracles here. The Lord's hand is so prevalent in this work. I know that 2 Nephi 27:23 is true. It reads, "23 For behold, I am God; and I am a God of miracles; and I will show unto the world that I am the same yesterday, today, and forever; and I work not among the children of men save it be according to their faith." He truly does do miracles. As we exercise our faith in Him, He will reach out and miracles will be present in our lives.

I love each of you! Have a miraculous week!

With Love,
Elder Rogers
