Technology Mission!

Hey y'all! I hope your week was pretty great! Some of you have seen me on Facebook, I'll try not to drive you crazy with posts, but I just wanted to tell you the rules! I can't like or reply to any comments or posts until p day, and I can't chat on messenger! So please email me!

We have a baptism scheduled on Feb. 24th and we are so grateful. I'm also so grateful for the people that got me on my mission so that I could meet learn from others! I'm so grateful for the cousins that have served before me, and with me! I'm so grateful for that aunts and uncles that showed me their awesome example by serving and especially for my parents! 

Technology in the mission is so cool! We were able to teach someone via Skype on Saturday night! So dang cool to teach someone four hours away from us and to still feel the spirit so strong! We taught her the plan of salvation, and told her about temples and how we can do our family history and she loved it! She's so excited to go to the Dallas temple after she's baptized!  We're hoping we can get permission to go with her, but the chances of that happening are super low. We're going to teach her again via Skype this week! We are so excited!

At church yesterday, one of the talks was on following the prophet and they talked a lot about how President Neilson was a heart doctor and a really great one at that. Then she brought up the scripture in Malachi 4 about turning the hearts of the children to their fathers and how perfectly this prophet was called. He is someone that works on hearts, and he will be spending his ministry turning our hearts to the father. It is truly marvelous how the Lord works. I am so excited and happy to be a missionary at this time and in this dispensation. I know that the work we are doing with technology will only help hasten the work if we use it to fulfill our purpose. I love that the prophet and the First presidency and the quorum of the 12 have so much faith and trust in us to use these tools for good. I am so excited to see how it will further the work in Natchitoches, and in the Louisiana Baton Rouge mission! I love this gospel, and I love the light and happiness it brings me. I know that I would not feel this happiness without my cousins and family pushing me to go out and serve! I love being a missionary! I can't wait to see what the next year and a little, will bring!
Right outside our apartment, it was probably four inches deep in some places. Thanks for the rain boots mom!

It's The End of The World As We Know It

We went to the American Cemetery  to look for some of my ancestors Hey y'all! I'm just here, in the greatest state in the US surviving flash floods, and tornadoes. Hope y'all are having fun with the snow! We woke up Wednesday morning to the sound of tornado warning sirens, Shortly after getting our 72 hour kits and other necessities in the car, we got a call from president Varner to drive to the Alexandria Stake center and stay there until it passed. so we get on the road for an hour ish, long drive there, and the wind and rain was so bad we could barely see, so we were driving pretty slow. Shortly after that, everything clears up, it stopped raining, but the wind was still really bad. As we are starting to speed up a little bit, we see it. The biggest Cyclone I've ever seen. bigger than the one on The Wizard of Oz for sure. So we speed up, and we're all freaking out as it gets closer and closer to our car, we're all screaming individual prayers for ...

My three favorite things ever, Church, Emiri, and Sister Brown Hey y'all, its me, Sister Rogel, from the Loosiana Baton Rouge Mission. There were't any tornadoes this week so I can't freak y'all out about anything, but it was pretty funny to hear about how y'all thought it was real! I got a kick out of that!  Not a lot happened this week, I went on exchanges pretty much the whole week. Sister Brown is a Sister Training Leader (STL) so she goes around to all the sisters in our zone, to visit with them and see how they are doing. Since we work in companionships, and I am still a greenie (New Missionary), Sister Brown's STL companion is sister Trussell who is working in Leesivlle. So once a week, or in this case, twice a week, we all switch companions, and I go to Leesville to be with Sister Trussell's companion, Sister Manyard! I love her so much and have learned so much from her! So my week went a little like this: Monday was Pday and we jus...

HELLO OUTSIDE WORLD It has been a crazy few days here at the MTC, and it's crazy that it's only been a few days. Feels like I've been here a week. My district and I have decided that this is what we imagine spirit prison to feel like. So please, got to the temple and do some work! My companion is Sister Peck! She's from Texas, going to serve in Logan Utah and has one of the strongest testimonies I've heard. She is super outgoing, and always makes sure that we sit next to new Elders or sisters every meal. So I'm making friends fast. We both have a goal to do some form of exercise every day, but we both hate running so I know that God put us together for a reason. there are 8 people in my district including me, four elders, four sisters. for everyone wondering, Elder Jones is in my district and he was just made District Leader last night. Sister Peck and I are the only two in the branch without callings, which is nice because I'm stressed out enou...
