Week 38 - Yosemite

But this week was good! I went to Yosemite yesterday and it was supppper fun. It was nice to get out of the nasty valley with it's pollution and go up in the mountains for some clean air. It was very refreshing!

Ricardo moved out of Vanessa's house so he is now eligible for baptism!! wooo!!! He's planning on the 8th of March right now so we're super excited! And Jesus is just working things out with his parents in Venezuela. So if everything goes well he's getting baptized on the 6th of March! Oh the joy!!!!

I absolutely loved hearing about missionary week. I really do love missionary work so much so I am so glad that y'all got to participate in it a little bit :) it really is the best thing to do in the whole world!!!

OH and i got your valentine's package!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much. That was really fun and sweet :) Y'all are the best and sorry for being short again! I will have a full time next week when I don't go to Yosemite or to the temple! haha. Love y'all and have an amazing week :D

Love,

Elder Robertson

Week 37 - Can I marry an investigator?

We went to the temple this week so that's why I am emailing today. It was amazing. I really love the temple like a lot. But because of it we barely have any time to email this week. So I'll have to be a little short.

It was a good week this week. We had some cool success. We are going to have the wedding for Ricardo this next Saturday which is going to be awesome. They asked me to marry them!!! After going through every single loop hole that I could possibly find I found out that I am not authorized to do that.... Sad day. So I have to tell them that they have to find someone else but it was still a cool compliment that they asked me to do that. Also, he will be getting baptized the week after that so that's AWESOME.

Jesus is ready to be baptized! His mom in Venezuela is just being weird now.... She's kinda stalling him! But we are working with him. It's going great though! I love y'all so much and it was so fun hearing about the fun week that y'all had! Oh also, I have not yet gotten the package but that's because I'm far away from the mission office now. But I should get it pretty soon!!! I'm excited :)

Love y'all tons! I'll send a few pics this week to make up for the tiny email!

Love,

Week 36 - Sick again

But it's been a good week except for the fact that I got way sick last night! Again?!?!?! It's ridiculous. I think it's cause the way we eat and the lack of nutrition that we really need. But I'm going to look at if we can get some better eating habits. Mainly just to boost my immune system. It's ridiculous. I've never gotten sick this often in my entire life! What the heck?

But besides that, it was a good week. We really have been able to watch the Lord's work hasten, and I'm loving it. There is a couple we're teaching. She is a member and he is her boyfriend. They are getting married this week and then he is getting baptized in two weeks! It's incredible. His name is Ricardo. He really is so awesome. He has such a way of responding to the spirit. It's awesome.

Then we have Jesus from Venezuela who should be baptized this month if we can help him over his tiny bit of anxiety. He is awesome! Such a good guy.

There are way more people as well but those are the main ones. I love this work soooo much! I hope that y'all know that.

That's really awesome that y'all are getting to that healthy state you want to be in. I wish I could do that but I will have to keep eating beans and rice and fried food. One day... One day...

Love,

Our weekly planning. Elder Lybbert bought me Taco Bell... yeah so about that eating healthy thing... haha

Week 35 - The most awful sickness ever

Hello all!

This week was good.. kind of. I died on wednesday. I got sick with the most awful sickness ever! We thought it was food poisoning because Elder Lybbert and I got it at the same time. But other people got it too that had nothing to do with what we ate. And also the families we ate with weren't sick at all. But that was fun.

So alsooooo. ON SATURDAY WE BAPTIZED IZAYAH! It was wonderful. It was so amazing to watch him get baptized. He is 10 and awesome. At the end he stood up and said: "I'm grateful for all of you coming out tonight. Tonight was the best night of my life because I got my sins washed away. I hope you all drive home safely." That's basically what he said. It was so sweeet. It brought tears to my eyes.

This week was good and I have learned a lot! I'll send some pictures! I'm totally lame this week! Sorry!! But I love all of y'all. have a good week

OH also, dad. My camera is kinda weird and takes blurry pictures. I've been trying to get it do be better... But one thing also. I keep asking people with no idea how to take pictures. They are always shaking the camera or something. But I'll see if I can keep messing with it to get better pictures.

Love,

Elder Robertson
