Howdy!
This has been a really nice week in Norwood. This area is a really fun place to be. There are always people that are willing to let us teach them. Most of the people here are very humble, and it is very fun to be busy. I am very glad that we are able to knock on some doors and do street contacting here because it is working pretty well here. People just kind of like to hang out in the streets, and so we get to go talk to them. The bummer side of that is that we see lots of *interesting* things go down. It makes me sad for the kids that live here and encourages me to keep going and working so that hopefully, the people here can have better lives. We have been having fun working hard together, and Elder Brock shares one of my favorite passions - sleeping, so we come home at night and just pass out and then go right back to work again. He is one of the hardest workers I've ever met, and it's been fun to be his second-half trainer. He said he would get in arguments with his first-half trainer because he was sometimes lazy so I'm doing my best to keep up with him.
On Tuesday we had a fun adventure. We had a lesson in one of the most sketchy places that we are allowed to go, and while we were biking there I saw a quarter on the ground. I saw that I was enough ahead of Elder Brock that I could stop and pick it up and so I did, and when I did I noticed that my bike tire had a hole in it, and it was leaking air pretty quickly. We hurried to get to our lesson before my tire was completely empty. We made it, but he didn't answer the door or any of our calls. Luckily the Spanish Elders could come to pick us up in about two hours, so we walked around and talked to people which lead to some very interesting situations. We had to ride back with five people in three seats in order for us and the bikes to fit. I thought it would be fun to have them take my bike and have Elder Brock ride home while I ran, but they said no since it was late and they needed to get into our apartment with my bike. Fixing the bike was a big pain, but it got us in with some members because we needed to use their tools.
It is amazing to me how the Lord extends his hand to keep us safe and to guide us to go to the places we need to be when we need to be there, so we can meet people who need the gospel in their lives. I know He lives and that this is His work. I am so grateful to be able to be a part of it.
Keep Striving,
Elder Rogers
