This will be the only post I write before I'm set apart as a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints next week and hand this blog over to my family to post my weekly updates.

I would love for you to share this adventure with me by reading my weekly accounts that will be posted here on this blog. It will not be posted on Facebook, so if you want to read about my happenings, please subscribe by typing your email address in the box to the right!  Or write or email me. :) I promise I will write back!!


There are so many reasons to doubt, to wonder, to be afraid, that it's hard to even start believing in something as marvelous as God. Especially a God who cares, when everywhere we look, life is not fair, people are not good, and circumstances are too painful for words.

I just want to say that it's worth it. And it is so, so true. God lives. We are His children. His only goal is for us to find joy. The kind of joy that's worth fighting for. The kind of joy that brings freedom. The kind of joy that's worth the cost, no matter how great.

And that knowledge changes everything.

I pray that we will come to know how much we deserve to hope, and how much we deserve to be loved.

With love,


Sister Roderer

…Shall we not go on in so great a cause? Go forward and not backward. Courage…and on, on to the victory! Let your hearts rejoice, and be exceedingly glad. Let the earth break forth into singing…Let the mountains shout for joy, and all ye valleys cry aloud; and all ye seas and dry lands tell the wonders of your Eternal King!
