Week 56 - A Mini Mission

This week was a good one and full of some good times. We saw a lot of good people this week! SALINA HAD HER BABY!!! She's at the hospital right now and so we're going to visit her after this. So I'll send pictures of that next week. It's funny that you brought up youth conference because that's totally something that happened here too. Except our stake did a mini mission! It was super cool. We got two of the youth (Tim, 18, and Jacob, 16) to go with us and it was super fun. They were really enthusiastic about the work and we all had a ton of fun together and got a ton of work done. The main things we did with them were:

Friday Night

• Saw Kary and Tracy (two of Salina's roommates) and taught them about faith. Both of them were able to testify about faith and share personal expierences about how faith has changed their lives. Tim shared such a powerful testimony that it brought Kary to tears. It was incredible!! It was also super hot in their house so we all came out drenched in sweat. But it was worth it!
• Visited Vanessa and had a wonderful lesson with her where we committed her to do missionary work this week. She's doing awesome and the boys got to see what it was like to be in a members home and to teach them.

Saturday Night

• Knocked doors and had them do some contacts all on their own! They did wonderfully!! We were able to find some awesome potentials and even a woman who asked us to come back in an hour. It was really fun but we did rejected a lot. So it kinda showed them both sides of contacting people.
• Taught a lesson to the Long family and helped them remember the importance of the Restoration. They both committed to do missionary work by talking to someone about the restoration. The two boys were able to practice their teaching using the pamphlets so it was awesome!
• Went back to the lady's house who we found knocking doors. Her name is Dorothy Davis and she is 89!! She is very spritely still. She invited us all in and we had an awesome first lesson and committed her to read the pamphlet and pray about it!!

It was an awesome experience with them! We were able to, at least I hope we were able to, show them how great being a missionary is!

Elder Collins and I are doing great. We are working hard on being as diligent as we can so that the Lord can trust us and bless us with miracles! It was a great week and this one will be even better :) I love all of y'all so much!

Love,

Elder Robertson

This is how hot it is when we come back to our apartment every night since we have to turn the AC off when we leave. Yup.
