Elder Matthew Robertson : Week 69 - I love being a missionary here in Reedley

So this week was one full of meetings.. I had a total of 2.. but that's still a lot in one week So these are what they were:

Elder Arnold Zone Conference: We were able to be blessed with the opportunity to have a member of the 70 come and train us at our Zone Conference. He is such a spiritual giant and it amazes me how much he has the spirit with him. He taught us a ton but the thing that he taught us the most was about how much we really just need to love. We need to love our leaders (edify them) we need to love the people we teach (work as hard as we can) love the members (serve them and never talk badly about them) love the lord (fully consecrate ourselves). It was really cool and really inspiring. I loved hearing from him. I definitely have a whole plethora of things that I am dedicated to working on so that I can be better and truly show my love for everyone here but especially for the Lord.

District Leader Training: So first of all the coolest part about this one is that my trainee was there with me!! Elder Collins is a district leader. It was so cool to have him there and hear his input. He really is such a good missionary and I'm so proud of how hard he's working! Our president pretty much just trained us a TON on how we need to be the examples to this mission. It is our job to set the example and to live it. He also talked a lot about how we need to work hard at keeping everyone accountable and work hard at helping them do it.

Besides that it was a great week. I love being a missionary here in Reedley. It really has shown me what it means to find prepared people! There are so many here. It's amazing to me how much love you start to have for these people that you really don't know very well. I truly do love them and want the best for them. I love y'all so much and hope that you have an amazing week!!!!!!

Love,

Elder Robertson
