Dear Family,
After voting they dip your right pointer finger in an ink that won’t wash off for a few days to keep you from voting more than once. Word from the land of purple pointer fingers! How is everyone doing?
The big news is the election is over and we wait the results.
Also 2 new Elders, Brooking and Sober made it here on July 23rd. I have never met or seen Elder Brooking before, however I know his Dad and brother and he knows Grandpa and Grandpa Hafen. It is neat to see the addition and also to remember about my first few days and experiences here in the country.
They have had a good start in the language after 2 months with those great MTC teachers. They were asked to bear their testimonies in church on Sunday.
Elder Fernandez and I split our area with Elders Madden and Sober. This area the south East will be branch 1. The Southwest and the old South Central will be the new branch 5, starting Aug. 16th.
Elder Fernandez and I gave up most of our good teaching contacts to Elder Madden and Sober and now concentrate our efforts on finding people to teach south of the southeast area. The road that is the bridge, the middle painted lane is the divider. I have the south part of the Chba Ampoa. The girls club is in the North.
We have 3 people with baptismal dates:
Sopawn Aug 2
Mooree Aug 9
Hout rescheduled for Aug 16t
After this it is time for finding new contacts.
The time spent teaching at the church has really helped me with the language, it is now time to get out and get the south part of Chba Ampoa rolling.
I am going to now try to get my journal the rest of the way caught up and fill you in that way.
Sorry so short.
I love all of you and thank you for all of your love support and prayers. I pray for you too.
Love your Son, Brother, Missionary
Elder J. Clinton Rogers
