Elder Tanner Rogers: Sounds Like You Need A Meat Lovers Pizza

Howdy,

This week was pretty great! There hasn't been anything super exciting, but it was just a really solid week. I really love both of my companions, and so I'm bummed that this is the last week of the transfer, but I'm also a little excited to see what happens.

Elder Boren has helped me to grow a lot in Spanish, and I am starting to see improvements. I was able to speak with a member in our ward from Mexico and that was fun (and nerve-wracking).

One day this week I took off my watch while I was sleeping, and couldn't find it in the morning. I was super bummed because I wanted it for running. I checked all over but no luck. While we were saying our prayer to leave our apartment, I had an impression to check one place one more time. After the prayer, I hurried over and found it right where I was impressed to check. I know that God cares about the small things in our lives and that He hears and answers our prayers - even if it is for simple things like finding your watch so you can track your run. Running has been going well. I wish I could run more, but I got in 22 miles this week. My best run this week was 5.4 miles at 5:35 pace on Thursday.

We had stake conference yesterday, and it was such a great experience to sustain our church leaders! As I raised my hand in our apartment I could feel the spirit confirming to me that both the general church leaders and those on a more local level were called of God. Most of the people in the stake I have never met, but I could feel the spirit, and I knew God needed them in their callings.

Make sure not to buy deluxe or rich and creamy mac n cheese - they aren't as good as original. Also, the flamin' hot Cheetos mac n cheese is alright, but not worth the 63 cents more than the Walmart brand.

I'm getting better at cutting hair. I didn't give Elder Leavitt racing stripes this time.

Have an awesome week!

Keep Striving Everybody!

Elder Rogers
