#22 Helping in Bogo

Wednesday, December 18, 2013

Hey everyone,
  Finally got back to a normal schedule for this week with my P-day on Wednesday.  We also got to go to the temple this morning so that is why I am emailing so late.  It is awesome here.  It is starting to cool down a bit and rain less.  I have seen so many beautiful sunsets and ocean views but a lot of the time I forget my camera but I will go back. This last week we got the chance to go up to Bogo and help some of the members rebuild their houses.  Many people were badly affected by the typhoon in this area.  There is still lots of garbage all over the place but the city is running ok.  Almost everywhere has electricity back but they are still working on that.  This week has been a lot of learning for me.  I have had to be more patient.  I don't just get the results I want.  We always have to keep working diligently and patiently.  This life is one of those things that works that way.  We have to work everyday even if we can't see our growth right now.  We just have to trust that our hard work will pay off and the Lord will bless you.  I know that the Lord loves everyone of his children and he has a plan for each of us.  We just have to trust him.  

Love,
Elder Roskelley


P.S.  I just got two packages, a Halloween package and a Christmas package.  None of them looked like they had been opened or anything.  Just a little squashed.
