Roger
I just wanted to express my appreciation to a young man in Trujillo, Peru tonight. Almost five years ago when I was working as a missionary down in Peru, I found myself without a companion. I would havehad to move to a different area if I couldn't find someone to accompany me. Roger stepped up without compunction. He gave up his girlfriend, job, and family for a month to work with me and serve the people in that area of Peru. He gave these things up while living in close proximity with these people he had left behind.Roger's sacrifice, in my mind, represented the most selfless decision I think I have ever experienced. In those moments with me, Roger came to know himself and came to better understand his relationship with his Heavenly Father. He remains to this day one of my heroes. So I dedicate this blog tonight to the memory of a good friend who continues his life in the dusty roads of Peru: Roger, mi amigo fiel.
