It's been another great week in the Massachusetts, Boston mission! It was like 20 degrees on Saturday, and we tracted for about 15 minutes before we decided to do something else. One of the funniest things I've noticed about Rhode Island in my two months here is that there's always an emergency. It's not uncommon for us to pull over for an ambulance or fire truck to drive by. I don't know if people just call 911 a lot, or if there are legitimately a lot of emergencies. There are like five emergency room doctors in my ward. Anyway I gave a talk in my ward yesterday. I can't believe I've already been here for two months! It's amazing how much I've changed.
Yesterday we had five investigators come to church. It was awesome to see them all there. I've really gained a testimony of how doing the little things can influence our faith. The investigators that read from the Book of Mormon and come to church are excited to learn and easy to teach. The contrast between them and investigators who don't do these things is massive.
Helaman 15:
7 And behold, ye do know of yourselves, for ye have witnessed it, that as many of them as are brought to the knowledge of the truth, and to know of the wicked and abominable traditions of their fathers, and are led to believe the holy scriptures, yea, the prophecies of the holy prophets, which are written, which leadeth them to faith on the Lord, and unto repentance, which faith and repentance bringeth a change of heart unto them—
8 Therefore, as many as have come to this, ye know of yourselves are firm and steadfast in the faith, and in the thing wherewith they have been made free.
I know that as we read from the scriptures every day, pray, and go to church that our faith will become unshaken.
Love,
Elder Rogers
