Hello Everybody,
This week was a pretty good one. I got to my new area in Norwich, Connecticut on Wednesday. It's been a blast so far. My companion, Elder Roberts, is great. We've already weathered a pretty insane storm together. While we were getting out of our car one time, we hear a loud crunching/cracking sound. I turned around and saw this huge tree (in the distance) come crashing down. The trees around it were all swaying pretty hard, and it looked like they were going to snap, too. We were blessed to have several appointments. So we didn't have to be out in the wind and rain.
I've already had a blast working here in Norwich. There are a lot of Haitian people and I've been able to use a few phrases in broken French. I committed a guy to read the Haitian-Creole Book of Mormon every day. Hopefully he does.
I've recently began studying the Book of Mormon looking for passages about power in the priesthood. I liked one from 1 Nephi 1:
"20But behold, I, Nephi, will show unto you that the tender mercies of the Lord are over all those whom he hath chosen, because of their faith, to make them mighty even unto the power of deliverance."
I know that the Lord qualifies and blesses his authorized servants. I definitely know that I couldn't do this by myself, and that the miracles we see are divine.
Love,
Elder Rogers
