Elder Tanner Rogers: Guys In Ties Snow Removal

Hello!

We got quite a bit of snow this week, and are supposed to get 16 inches of snow tonight, which will be exciting! I'm happy because shoveling snow is the one service thing that we can do, so we did a lot of shoveling snow. Interesting that when we put ads on the page offering eternal happiness nobody responds but when we offer free snow removal everyone is interested... It was really fun though. None of my companions are used to driving in the snow, but I'm not the designated driver, so I've become quite the backseat driver. On the first day when it snowed the car in front of us stopped so then we tried to stop but we just started sliding. In order to avoid getting in a wreck Elder Boren cranked the wheel and we went up over the curb and through someone's yard. We almost hit a tree but we didn't. Since then we go really slow, and I wince and give suggestions a lot but we've been alright.

We had zone conference this week and that was really fun. They got us Jersey Mikes for lunch afterward which was amazing! We had to clean our car before, but it was dumping snow. We found a carwash anyway and tried to clean it but all the water just froze onto the car. It was fun though, and we got to clean out the inside so it was worth it.

I ran 5 miles on Friday and 6 miles on Saturday which kinda made my companions mad because they were cold but it was fun. I wish I could just run more but that's ok - serving as a missionary is worth it.

Also, our shower drain was clogged and draino wasn't doing the trick, so I stuck my hand in there and pulled out a 2-foot long hair glob. It was gross but our shower works now. 🤷‍♂️

I love serving here in Lawrenceburg! It is such a great place to be and the members are so nice! It is amazing to see the miracles that God works in our lives when we put forth the effort to follow Him and keep His commandments! I know He lives! I know this is His work and that His hand is in it!

Keep Striving Everybody
