First Transfer and Lunar New Year

So, about a week and a half ago I was driving home from my sister's
and had a very strong impression come to me.
The words "Jaden is getting transferred" came into my mind.
I asked him last week, and he said if he did get transferred he would find out that Saturday,
which would have been two days ago.

Well, tonight in his e-mail, Jaden confirmed that he is getting transferred to a city
two hours away from where he is now called Wonju (pronounced One-Jew).
He seems to be excited for the change, and I am too, although I think
the people in the Chuncheon ward will miss him,
especially the little girl he is in the picture with.
She is in the pictures with him at Christmas time as well,
and from the smile on her face in this picture,
I think she likes Elder Roskelley.
She is dressed up in traditional Korean attire to celebrate the Lunar New Year.
Isn't she darling?


They held a mission conference, and as part of the conference they celebrated the 
Lunar New Year.  A local high school loaned some instruments to the mission,
so some of the missionaries were able to play a song together.
Jaden wishes he would have signed-up!
(He played the French Horn and Trumpet in Jr. High.)
 Looks like fun!


I'm excited for the changes that are happening for Jaden.
I have learned that change always brings growth if we allow it to.

Jaden also challenged us in his letter today to do something this week
to share our testimonies on-line.  He isn't able to get on any social media sites,
but encouraged those of us that can to make sure and share the
gospel with others.  So, I'm extending that challenge to each of you.
Whether it's on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.,
make sure and spread the good news of the gospel in one of your posts this week!

The gospel is true!  Jesus Christ lives and loves us!
Don't ever forget or doubt that!
