Shalom,

This has been awesome couple weeks in the mission. Sorry I have not sent an email, things have been crazy. Last week I spent 45 minutes typing an email the best I could with all the best material and right as I clicked send it deleted everything, my phone is very trash. This week I'm typing it somewhere else and I'm going to copy and paste it so it doesn't do that anymore haha.

We had an awesome miracle the other week, Mason got baptized let's go! He had us really nervous though, he didn't show up the church that day of his baptism I could not relax the entire sacrament meeting. Thankfully he was just running late because he was doing service for someone in their Garden. He hurried home put his suit on and biked to the church in it, he's so lit!I I had the opportunity to baptize him, it was super cool. He told me after the baptism that when he came out of the water a flash of light hit him, it was an amazing baptism, the spirit was so strong.

Other awesome stuff both of my trainees are doing great. Elder Olson is future AP, Elder Havea is also future AP! They are awesome misionaries and we have way too much fun for real. Today for our Zone p-day we had a pumpkin carving challenge me and my comps took the W and got first place. We are Him!

Spiritual thought:
This week we had MLC, it was a really cool experience. My cousin Elder Checketts led a teaching for all of us there. They talked about the difference between Cowboys and Shepards. We know that Cowboys push their animals around and make them go where they force them to go. However, Shepherds lead and guide the Sheep through life. We choose to go where he wants us to go. We learned that sheep will only follow their Shepherd, they know the shepherd's voice. There's a reason why we refer to Jesus Christ as our Shepherd. It's amazing that God sent us here to Earth and trust us enough to follow his son Jesus Christ. I know that even though life can be hard and challenging and there are lots of choices to make God knows that we can always follow him and return to him. No matter how many mistakes we make or times we may fall astray from the shepherd's guidance, it's never too late to follow him. This teaching was so eye-opening to me cuz I realized how much love and trust God has for me and for all of his children.

Not a lot going on in this email week, but things are going good and the work is going well. I hope you all are doing good and I hope you all had a great week, see ya bye!

-Elder Rosenlund

Shellom y'all, This has propbably been the most busy and chaiotic week of my mission yet. Between training a new elder, managing 20+ people being taught, 40+ potentials who could be taught, two wards I'm brand new to, high maintainance barely active members, and much more, I have been swamped with things to do. It has been insane! My very first day of the transfer in the Ashton park ward, a person they were teaching called and says she wants to be baptized! LETS GO THAT IS HYPE...however, this has caused so many problems. She has lots of questions and does not want to follow the commandments in the word of wisdom so we cant really baptized her yet. Since then, she has been looking into much anti about our church and wont stop sending it to us. It has been crazy!  Something funny, we went to a mental hospital to visit an inactive member. It was his birthday. He is also skitzafrenic or however you spell it. He asked how our sunday was, we told him that we had 6 hours of church be...

Go Chiefs!!!!

Well....This was a good week! The chiefs won the super bowl! I was super sad that I could not watch the game, but I am so happy either way. Everyone around me is 49ers fans so I'm the only one happy in my area. This week was not just happy feeling though, it was full of all sorts of feelings. I had to say good bye to all of my District and friends in the MTC. Super sad to say good bye but in the end, we are all where we are supposed to be.  When I arrived in Sacramento California, I was immedietly greated by my mission president and the zone leaders! They are all super awesome and Sacramento is amazing. But I do not get to experience it. I currently am typing in a cabbin. Me and my companion, Elder Bartholomew who is awesome!, got thrown into a area where they have not had missionaries in years! Its called George Town and its way up in the mountains. The members here are so excited that we are here and I have not had to worry about making dinner a single night. I live in the middle...
