Wow wow wow! Profound. Beautiful. Your love and light shines through in this message. Learning so much from you. Miss you and love you so much. The progression from one transfer to the next is incredible. So so so proud of you! You inspire me and so many. You’re amazing! What wonderful people you have the opportunity to be with. Grateful. Love you!
Raleigh!!! These photos and words!! Your dedication to Christian missionary work is truly awe-inspiring. You embody the profound truth that 'In the grand tapestry of humanity, we are both significant and insignificant, but it's our actions that make the difference.' Thank you for sharing this journal and making such a meaningful impact on the world! 🌍🙌✨
Incredible experiences!!! I love your honesty and sincerity in searching to learn and share truth. You are blessings lives! But the biggest blessing that will come from your efforts will be the growth in your own life!!! Love ya Elder.
I was so incredibly happy to see this update from you in my in box today. I think about you regularly and hope you’re safe and continuing to grow and learn and be Raleigh in your best way. Love you bro!
What a beautiful and profound journey. Your insights move me to be a better person—more loving, more introspective, more dedicated and devoted, more understanding, more open, more reachable, more ‘reaching’. I can see how the painful times have blessed you and made you a better “blesser”. This insight will bless the remainder of your life, in all things. Your heart is so open and willing, your ego is disappearing. You’re showing us what is possible when we fully submit. Miracles. Wow. Your past work with technology and your whip smart mind seem to be revolutionizing the work in Angola (and ultimately, the world, I would imagine). It’ll be amazing to watch it continue to roll forth. No more time spent spinning wheels or annoying people. A greater opportunity to reach and bless those who have genuine interest. Feels like even more miracles ahead I’m honored to be part of your world. Beyond honored. My prayers for you will continue and filled with even more pleading, greater gratitude for the Support you’ve been receiving. I love you, Elder Rollo. So much.
Such amazing awareness of yourself and your surroundings. Such a wonderful desire to show compassion towards others. Your letters are inspiring. Keep up the good work, Raleigh, and continue to pay attention to the reality of your environment, acting accordingly with truth and love.
I don’t know you and still I was very excited to read this update. Thank you for sharing. It’s amazing to get a glimpse into your growth. Your deep and honest words, your questions of why and how, and your desire to genuinely help people not just baptize them give me so much hope. Reading about your journey gives me hope for the church I joined 8 years ago. Hope that there are spaces where love matters most.
“The spirit does not let man simply assert and impose himself over other beings but obliges him to have consideration for them. The spirit in this fashion brings order into the chaos of relations. The man who really finds himself cannot do otherwise than let himself be guided by love.”
What an incredible read!! I didn't want it to end! You really need to write and publish a book of all of these amazing experiences, your growth, struggles, triumphs. You are a very talented writer and photographer. The photos add so much life and beauty to your thoughtful, deep, and profound words. I loved reading about each transfer and the life and lessons you are finding in each. So, so inspiring.
My son was also the social media ad guy (for lack of a better name haha) in his mission in Paris, France. The results they saw from those ads were miraculous!
(Also, you don't know me, but I've followed your mom for YEARS on IG. I did see you once at Seven Brothers at the Mill while on vacation...should have said hi, but you were with a bunch of friends and I felt awkward! lol)
So impressed and inspired by you. Thank you for being authentic to you. Your words and photographs were beautiful. Life is beautiful and hard….glad humans like you are in this world with me.
Well, I’ve obviously got tears streaming down my face as I’ve read your latest, beautiful and inspiring update, Raleigh. So much light and wisdom! You’ve always had those, but THIS is different. The Christlike love you’re living is blessing lives in a completely different nation of souls! So proud of your humility and openness to learn from experiences, trials and others. We love you SO MUCH and can’t wait to hear and read your next “chapter” in Angola! 🩵🩵🩵 Grandpa and I pray for you every day. You are LOVED.
