Week 53 - Learning about the Atonement

I'll update y'all next week on the mission split and everything... we find out Saturday ahhhh. We'll see what happens! I don't wanna predict anything cause I honestly don't have the slightest clue.

This past week was a good one we were able to teach a ton of people. It was wonderful.. But we had sooo many people that promised us that they'd be at church and then no one showed up. It was super sad. But luckily 6 more days and they'll all have another opportunity.

I've been thinking about the Atonement. I don't think I ever really grasped it when I was at home. I hadn't really gone through anything hard enough to break down my pride to ask for the Lord's help through the Atonement. But I can definitely say that I've done it quite a lot while being out here. It's amazing to me how much he seriously helps each one of us in our own trials.. and all because he loves us. He is a literal being not just some imaginary good idea. He is a glorified resurrected person who loves each of us so much that he took all of our sins. It's amazing to me that I get to wake up every morning and just try and show him how grateful I am for what he's done. It's very humbling and I'm still not very good at showing my gratitude well.. but luckily I have 1 more year of full time service to practice and get better at it. :)

Our investigators are doing well and we're looking forward (hopefully) to Brianna's baptism this week. She is a nine year old of a less active family that we're trying to help come back to church. It's been amazing watching them work hard to help their daughter get baptized! Alex is still doing alright, we're doing our best to work with him and help him realize how powerful the Atonement really is.

Hope that y'all have a great week and I'm so grateful for all of y'all and love y'all sooo much!

Love,

Elder Robertson
