So It's Been A While

 It's been a while since I've blogged, and it had been a while since Caleb e-mailed the

latest news from his mission. About a month or so ago he was transferred to Durban

and was given a new assignment to serve as a social media elder. 

I think he was excited about the assignment. He serves for several hours during the day

in the mission office. He does wish he spent less time there and more time teaching.

I will post videos he makes as they get posted. 

 He seems to be really get along well with his new companion. They've been teaching a man named Vito

and he's hoping he'll commit to baptism. I'm gathering it's harder to find people to teach 

in the larger areas of the mission.  

Anyway, he continues to do well. Here's his latest e-mail and some photos:

Hello Everyone! Hope you are doing well! I know its been a while since I've emailed soo maybe I'll miss a few things🤣

I'm now a social media Elder!🤯 So i get to help film and make videos of missionaries to post on Facebook and Instagram! Its pretty cool! 

My new Companion is Elder Lym! He is from Washington state, hes pretty awesome! Hes super funny and full of energy.

As a social media elder we spend half of the day doing social media work and half the day doing regular missionary work, its kinda whack and its certainly a big change of pace compared to my previous areas but I've started to get in the rhythm I think🧐🫠

I now serve in like the heart of Durban pretty much which is pretty neat but its super hectic, driving is not my favorite, especially cause the road set up is sooo interesting 🤣🤣 but its not like the worst

Nothing else super crazy to report on yet

Love,
Elder Roskelley
 

                               Some more pics of food that I'm sure Caleb thought was tasty!
 
                                                         Getting ready to make a video.  
 

                          Not sure what this is on Elder Porter's shirt, but he seems pretty calm!!!

Wow! Caleb actually sent an email 2 weeks in a row!!! That is something. Some of the news I shared here last week, but this week was excitin...
