Elder Rogers Testimony - July 9, 2008

“I want you to know how true this gospel is. It is amazing how much your testimony grows and changes bad habits when you devote yourself to the Lord. When you are too busy doin good you have no time to do bad. It is amazing how happy I am, even though I have no worldly things around me like an iPod or computer or phone. I am so filled with joy loving other people and devoting myself to the Lord. I know he loves us, and I know Jesus Christ is our true Savior. It is unbelievable what he did for us. I know that Joseph Smith is a true prophet of God and I know that he translated the Book of Mormon. I know that Thomas S. Monson is our prophet now just like Lehi, Nephi, and Jesus. It is weird to think of it like that, but I know he is. I love you all and will pray for you. Love you!” Elder Rogers

Investigator was SHOT!

We got a phone call at 7 this morning. One of our prime investigators called us. He said he was in the hospital. He had been shot up, so we rushed over to the hospital and gave him a blessing. He was shot at 9 times by 3 guys and he got hit 3 times in a drive by at the gas station. Once in the belly and once in both legs. He is going to survive but it was still real sad.

We went down to the Prichard Community Center. We get there and we were the only white guys. Everybody was looking at me crazy. There was a half court basketball game being played, so I went to the other half and warmed up a little. No one would talk to me. I tried to get on tons of peoples team, but no one would let me. I saw all the people in the bleachers pointing and laughing at me. Ha! So then I finally got in and about two minutes in, a guy on my squad drives and kicked the ball to me. I took two steps and dunked it so so hard on this guy. The whole gym ERUPTED! They were going crazy! Then I hit 4 threes and they went even more crazy. It was so funny, cause after that everyone wanted me on their team. Afterwards it was so tight, everyone was asking me questions about Utah and the church. We are going back this week and teach some of them!
