At the lights by the river front
Hey y'all! I hope your week has been great! A couple things before I get started. my next p day will be on Jan. 16th because of MLK day, and then again on the 24th of Jan. because we have Elder Costa coming for mission conference.

This is gonna be a short email because not that much happened. 

We met with a lady about a week ago and we set up an appointment to come back and just pray with her. So we came back, but before we went inside Sister Brown told me that I should pray and challenged me to pray by the spirit. So we go in and get to know her a little better, then we all kneel to pray and hold hands and I know that what I said was entirely led by the spirit. it was so cool to feel and be lead by the spirit who knew what she needed to hear. I challenge you all to pray being led by the spirit. 

On Friday we went to a members house for dinner and watched a conference talk by Thomas S. Monson from before he was prophet. It's called The Faith of a Child. From October 1975. It's about a member in our ward's cousin. He talks about Natchitoches!! The spirit in the room was so incredible. I love watching him speak. I miss him so much but I know that we have another prophet of God on the earth today. I know that Joseph Smith is a true prophet and I am so grateful for him. Please watch that talk! It was so amazing!

On Saturday we went to the church to give someone a tour so he'd be a little more comfortable with coming. We had one of his friends from school who is also in our ward come as well. It was a lot of fun and we felt the spirit really strong. We invited him to come to church with us and he seemed really interested! After that we went to help a lady take down her Christmas decorations. And because it's been so cold lately, they've all been inside.

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...
