May has been an important month in Bishop Bill Rogers' life. Not only did he turn 88 this month, but on Friday, he returned from his 100th mission trip.

Rogers spent May 13-20 in Honduras's capital, Tegucigalpa, where he visited eight churches, a prison, a school and an orphanage. Rogers said he can preach all day long without getting weary thanks to the help he receives from above. After 100 mission trips - which include visiting 89 countries on five continents - Rogers says he has many more trips to go.
