Elder Jaron Rose: Match Makers, and off to Lubbock

Howdy Howdy friends and Family!!

Well we got our transfer calls last night and I found out that I am being shipped off to Texas!! I will be serving as a Zone Leader in Lubbock!! I am super excited and a little bit nervous!! But I found out that my area is the ghetto of Lubbock, so I won't have much change from what all of my other areas have been;)

Showed up to District Mtg with face masks

This week was a good one!! We didn't have a ton of things happen but Cameron Tsinnijinie, an X Member that we have been working with for a while now....well him and his X-Wife got remarried on Friday!! That was super cool to be able to be apart of! And also Cameron is on the right track to be baptized again!! I am positive that in a month or two he will be!!

This week we also found the drug cartel here on the Reservation, pretty crazy!! They all had super nice white cars with there "nicknames" on the licence plates!!! I am still alive......and also we also saw an attempted murder! Just an average week here in Mescalero!!

I also had the opportunity to speak yesterday in sacrament meeting!! I was asked to speak on member missionary work! To be honest it was a super hard topic until I thought of all the things that I have seen help people change while I have been here on my mission serving! A few things that really helps soften peoples hearts are developing Christ-like attributes, service, and not being afraid to talk to people who you feel you should!! I Have noticed that as I have studied about my Savior I have come to love people that I would have had the hardest time getting along with back home!! I also had come to know of the importance of having a firm foundation in his teachings.

As we emulate his teaching in our lives, life really is easier!!

I challenge you all to study about our Savior this week, whether it is 5 minutes or 5 hours.

I promise that it will help you in the simple things in your lives!!

Have a Great week!

Love Elder Rose
