Oh the great joy it brings me to hear about BYU :) It's hard to be missing the season but I think I'll make it! But that's so amazing that we whooooped em!!!! Take that Texas! I'm glad the tailgate was such a success. It's cool that you got to be in charge of that Dad! Maybe take your mind off of all the other stuff in life and just get to enjoy a little bit of good ole fashion BYU awesomeness.
I'm glad y'all got to meet Jay. He's super nice! [Elder Drennan is serving in our Ward in Austin. He lived on the same floor as Matt at BYU and was in the Mexico MTC at the same time.] I'm glad that the Elders there are good. Dad, I have grown to just love my Ward Mission Leader and have gotten such a testimony that the work of missionary work relies on him. He and the bishop hold the keys to our missionary work and our relationship with them can change everything. So it's so cool for me to think about you being the Ward Mission Leader for our ward and doing some of the same stuff that I'm doing. I know you're probably just blowing it away. Man I just love this work
It's awesome to hear that the [BYU vs. Texas] tailgate went so well. I'm a little sad not to have been able to be there and take part in such a fun time but I'm super glad that y'all got to do that :) As for the meals I get. I get a little bit of everything. A lot of rice and beans and mexican food. They feed us a ton. I get some just normal american food from the english members. I also get taken out to restaurants every once in a while for dinner and such so I get a bit of everything. Mi espanol? My spanish is getting better and better. I just gotta keep practicing. I'm definitely feeling more and more comfortable with it.
The most valuable things that I've learned from Elder Moody is the necessity of concecrating yourself. We work a lot on that. He truly sees life as just the mission and nothing else. It's very inspiring and helps me a lot. It helps me get a good vision for my mission. The most valuable from my mission is a tough one. One of the biggest is kind of a feeling of regret. I realize now that I could have had this kind of a feeling my entire life and I didn't. I was prideful and decided to do things differently than God would want me to. So I've realized that I could have done so much more with what I have been given. But I don't use this to wollow in self pity. It actually motivates me to keep improving and never let another moment go by where I'm not letting my testimony fill as many ears as will hear! I just love hearing about things from home and things that y'all are doing. :)
Something that's been cool is that we started teaching Tony's son, Hunter. He is 15 and never really been into religion. But he is willing to listen. We had an awesome lesson with him this past week and talked about progressing to baptism. So that's been really neat. We are hoping that Tony will be able to baptize him! It would be an incredible experience to watch that. I love y'all and hope everything is going awesome. I miss y'all!
Love,
Elder Robertson

| Juan, who got baptized on Saturday. He's awesome. He's 12. He should get the priesthood this next week! |

| Juan and his sister (who he lives with). She was baptized about 3 months ago in Oregon and moved here with Juan about a month ago. It was an amazing service. |
