Week 33 - Happy 20th Birthday!

[Matt turned 20 on January 19, 2015 and we had a Rudy's BBQ Brisket & Ribs air shipped to him for his birthday.]

OH MY GOODNESS!!! THANK YOU SOOO MUCH FOR THE RUDY'S!!! And the birthday box! It was seriously amazing getting all of that. The brisket is currently warming up in the oven right now and we had some ribs for lunch I will take some pics and send them next week of us eating all the bbq. My birthday has been wonderful because of all the love I'm feeling from y'all. I love every single one of you so very much and am so humbled and grateful for the wonderful opportunity that I get to be a part of the Robertson family. I really do brag about y'all a lot. It's my little way of feeling closer to  y'all I guess. But seriously thank you for everything!!

So I got to go back to Fresno twice this past week! I got to go back on Friday for a leadership training meeting. I am not currently a leader but there were two very special people from the missionary department from Salt Lake coming (President Donaldson and Brother Tanner) to give a training. President Clark invited me and my companion to come down and some other non-leader personal for the meeting. They said in the meeting that it is because we are prospective leaders or something like that.. so we'll see what all that means. But mom and dad and siblings! That training changed my life. I'll have to send you a copy of my notes or something some time so you can read em over. He just really taught me how important it is to teach simply and to be totally consecrated to this work! It was incredible!

The other reason was just as exciting!!! I went back to baptize Alberto and Leticia!!! I got to baptize Alberto! It was so special. I'll attach a photo. He's going to be a bishop someday. He is seriously  incredible. But it was so funn being back in my old area for a bit. I got to see some people that I missed. Maria De Leon from my last area told me that she would be getting baptized soon and would let me know when!!! SOooooo wooo hoo! I love this work more than anything.

I love all of y'all so much and love this gospel. It's hard to describe all of my feelings right now as I am turning 20. I am now in my 20s and it's soooo weird to say that. It truly is amazing how much I took for granted in my life. I was truly blinded to this amazing gospel my whole life but am so grateful for this eye opening opportunity my mission has been to help me realize more and more exactly who my Savior is and who I am to him and my Father in Heaven. LOVE Y'ALL and have a great week!!

Love,

Elder Robertson
