Sunday morning I wasn't able to attend all the meetings because Elder Campbell was still ill, but now he's all better! That morning though we had a power outage and it went till about noon. Thankfully Elder Harvey came and switched me out so I could go take the Sacrament, he felt bad that I couldn't go through the temple and I'm so grateful I got to do that.
Monday we taught our TRC Investigators named Karisa and Erica. Both lessons went really well and it's amazing to just get a feel of what it's like to teach the gospel, I hope the field is relatively the same because that's freaking me out haha.
Tuesday we had a devotional and the speaker was Elder Bednar in which he told us in detail about the Priesthood Keys and how all that works in which I hope to remember because it's one thing that was really confusing me haha.
Wednesday we started something called Workshop which honestly is just a class for teaching how to decide if someone is ready for specific commitments. We only got to teach one TRC but it was great none the less. To add onto the first three days everyone else who was with us for the last three days had left by Wednesday, it got very quiet and was kinda sad. Keep them in your prayers.
Thursday we got our hairs cut and I feel sooooo much better! Sadly they don't let you cut your own hair I the MTC but while getting a hair cut the lady told me two elders before came in and said "I want the Elder Bednar" and then told me how my hair is naturally that way. Pretty awesome compliment haha. Also the two Elders who wanted the hair cut were the other two elders going to Houston as well. Also had another workshop class and the teacher used to play Lacrosse for BYU which though Braxton doesn't like them I thought was pretty cool haha.
Friday we got to go to the other TRC that we didn't do Wednesday and then after that went to President Monsons funeral viewing. Not sure if any of the rest of you saw it but it was very powerful. He's for sure set a great example for us to follow and also without a doubt was called to be a prophet of God. We later taught our first legit investigator again (Jeff) and it was also very powerful.
So far today has been great because we finally went to the temple! Sorry I didn't get any pictures of the temple but it was amazing and much needed.
I want to share my testimony about prophets and just how much more I now know. They are already prepared to be prophets and they all have amazing stuff for us to listen to that is directly from our father in heaven. I hope all of you know this. I love you all and will let you know how Texas is.
Elder Rogers the younger
Another thing that was really cool tonight was we had a testimony meeting tonight and I felt the spirit so strongly that I literally was shaking, not a ton but I did. I'm just gonna share another testimony that I know God answers our prayers and that he loves us so much, the song "A Child's Prayer" tells it all, as it came to my mind after the testimony meeting was over.
Hyvää yötä
