Week 67 - Got a mini-missionary

So my new companion is awesome! He's from Argentina, his name is Elder Rearte, and practically my best friend. He's super cool. We're a ton alike and get along great. It's going to be an awesome transfer coming up! It's been a crazy past week though... here's kind of the highlights.

New companion and Open your mouth:

When the new missionaries come in their first day some missionaries take them on something called open your mouth. It's basically just taking them out for two hours and contacting people in a random area. Well we went and did that up in fresno for the first part of being companions. So that was cool. We got to have some fun with that. But we didn't get back to our area until 8 that night... so that day was pretty shot.

Opening the new area:

Thursday.. the next day after open your mouth. I had to prepare EVERYTHING for the new missionaries that were coming in to split up my area. I had to set up their apartment. I had to set up all their documents. So we were doing that all day. When they finally came I had to show them around and then we headed to MCM. The meeting took FOREVER!!! Literally.. it was like an hour and 20 minutes. it's supposed to be like 15 minutes. So that day was pretty much destroyed after that as well.

Leadership Meeting and special ops:

The next day we had a meeting in Hanford, weekly planning and then a mini mission thing for the stake so we weren't in our area all day until 9. Literally the 3rd day in a row that we hadn't been in our area working. But we got a mini missionary and that was fun! His name was alex

Two missionaries left this weekend so we had to do a bunch of splits this past weekend. Pretty much all in all... it was a crazy intense week with sadly, little missionary work! But it was good! Love y'all tons and hope y'all have a good week :)

Love,

Elder Robertson
