MAGNIFYING THE PRIESTHOOD, PART 2

We aren't sure why our last post didn't work very well, but we are going to re-type the story and hope that it works.  Here goes!

Roger Courtney received the Melchizedek Priesthood  last Sunday.  He was baptized on November 2, 2013, here in Grenada.  We love Roger.  Let's talk about him a little.  Roger is talented and attempts to make a living as a house painter.  He's very handy and can fix almost anything, like electrical connections, plumbing and bikes.  He loves gardening and "hunts" food weekly, which means collecting mangos, bananas, breadfruit, guava, figs and many other foods that grow here.  He provides for his extended family in this "gathering" way.  He has taken us fishing without fishing poles, iguana hunting, decorative seed collecting and even spear fishing off the rough Grenadian Atlantic coast.
Roger spends about 30 hours each week teaching and contacting with the missionaries.  We have a well attended cottage meeting on his roof every Wednesday night where Roger is in charge and conducts the meeting.
Roger attends almost every single activity the branch offers.  Many in the branch have been served by him and everyone loves his company and goodness.
Roger's calling in the church is to keep our church house spic and span.  He's extremely diligent at calling others to help him with the cleaning.  If the calling is finished and he doesn't have others to help in the efforts, the building is still clean on Sunday!  He knows how to keep his covenants!  It's fun to clean with Roger!!!
About 6 of Roger's friends have been baptised here since November 2013.
Eight months ago, Roger spent his days and evenings "liming" (hanging out) in the neighborhood drinking rum, smoking marijuana and spending time with very questionable friends.  He says he now just doesn't have time to miss that life.
We super enjoy watching Roger light up and fill his life with good things.  He's discovered what many of us want, but don't take time to do .....that we can be enlightened, renewed and sanctified as we serve others.  Roger gives so much he has no time to worry about Roger.
This scripture describes what we see happening to Roger.... "Then shall thy confidence wax strong in the presence of God; and the doctrine of the priesthood shall distill upon thy soul as the dews from heaven."  D&C 121:45
