3-Peat Gone...

What is up everybody!
Here is the weekly email for y'all. Nothing crazy has happened, for the first time in the mission, I feel like things are under control, knock on wood. Some really good news, Thor got baptized. YUHH! It was a really cool baptism, a bunch of family members who are not members came and they loved it. It was a great experience for them! They got the spirit all up in them!

Other cool stuff, I got in a couple bashes these last couple weeks. But they have been really productive and we even started teaching one of them so that was really cool. We are seeing lots of miracles right now, both with members and powerful blessings and also just finding people to teach. It has been great!

Oh wow, I almost forgot, the Chiefs played like crap and lost. I guess we won't be seeing a 3 peat for at least 3 more seasons, L's. I am grateful that I am on a mission for this horrible loss, because my pain would have multiplied x10 if I was home. Tough night but the church is still true and Jesus would have probably been the greatest football player in history if it was a thing so I'll continue to focus on him right now.

We had zone conference this last week, and that was a baller day. I got to see a lot of missionaries that I love so much and miss, great times. OH, SUPER HYPE MIRACLE! We are teaching this dude named Kevin. He has word of wisdom problems, no problem, we are getting there. This has been his hold up for baptism, mainly because he is scared to give it up. We have been able to work with him and he is starting to quit life long habits/ addictions that have been controlling him. He wants to turn to God fully now! We have another friend in the same exact boat also progressing just like him. There testimonies of God and Jesus Christ are growing so much, its amazing to see.

I've had a lot of conversations recently about why bad things happen to good people. I know that when I recieve trials, as backwards as this may sound, that tells me that God loves me and wants me to grow. The only way to make a muscle stronger, is to tear it and put stress on it. I know that is the same for us. The only way for us to learn and grow and learn why we should chose God, is by facing trials that make us turn to him. I know that through Him we can find real joy, real peace, real comfort. I've seen it in my life and in the lives of the people I am teaching here in Sacramento. I love you all, thanks for reading, it means a lot! Pray for the chiefs, they need to get revenge next year.

Go Chiefs,
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...

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...
