So my past week has been a crazy one but I am in heaven!!
Wednesday morning when I woke up we got the transfer calls
that my companion and I were being doubled out!! This was not what I was
expecting! I for sure thought that I would stay! So we spent the whole day
saying goodbye to all of my friends that I had made there!! It was
so hard to leave Whitehall because that has been home for the past 3 months!! I
felt like I was goodbye to my family again at the MTC.
I am now in Greenfield Ohio, which is literally in the
middle of no where!! After the meeting we got into our new Ford Fusion
and drove an hour and half through cornfields to get to our little town. I am
in love with it though. I am in a tiny branch and we recently just got a
new building. They were meeting in a doublewide trailer before that. Who knew that the church owned double wide
trailers? So my new companion is from
Layton Utah and only has 3 months left! We were doubled into the area
which has been fun!! The branch has had sister for the past 6 years and they
are SO happy to have elders!! I already have made so many new friends and have
done tons of service, which I love!!
I love driving to our appointments because I get to look at
miles and miles of fields and just dream! ha I would honestly be happy if I
spent the rest of my mission here!!
Yesterday we had our mission tour with Elder Perkins and his
wife!! This was fun because a few years ago he came and spoke to my stake!
Because we were so far away we had to wake up early to drive to
Columbus and didn't get back till 930 so that is why I am emailing today!!
It was such an incredible meeting and I learned so much and changed so much
because of it!! I wrote down a bunch of quotes to tell you guys but of course I
left them at home.
I don't have much time but I just want to let you all know
that I love this time of year and am so grateful that I get to be on my mission
and remind and invite people to remember Christ this time of year! I know that
my Savior lives and am so grateful for him and the wonderful gift of
the atonement that he gave to us!!
Thank you all for you prayers! I love you all!!
Love Elder Roper
My new address is 530 Jefferson, Greenfield Ohio, 45123
