So first off, hi. Second off, Dad! I absolutely love that quote from you. Come home exhausted. It is extremely inspired at this time. I have been thinking lately about how I can be a better missionary. I had an exchange with my District Leader a few days ago. He asked me, Elder, do you feel like you are doing everything you can every day to accomplish your goals. I realized my answer to that question was no. I realized. I don't work as hard as I could. I work hard for sure! But I know that I am holding some back. So you have my word dad and family that I will do everything I can, starting now, to come home exhausted.
The baptism went amazingly!! He invited so much family and the ward knew him so well that we had over 65 people at the baptism!!!!! Isn't that crazy?!?! It was so hot in there.. haha But the coolest part is that all of his family are non-members. So, although they live in another set of missionaries area, they all felt the spirit and we're super excited to see them progress in the gospel as well!! Also, when we were getting into the font, Ricardo slipped on the first step and fell into the font and almost hit his head.. so that was scary. After making sure he was okay we proceeded and everything went beautifully! I love being a missionary. Especially when I get to see somebody enter the waters of baptism. It's always such an amazing and a humbling experience. It was also incredibly awesome to hear him bear his testimony at the end! Oh the joys of this work!!
As far as everything goes with Elder Lybbert. He is awesome. He truly is an amazing missionary and is here to work! We aren't necessary he same personality but it's okay cause we've got the work in common!!
I don't know what mission I'm going to be in or when I find out! But y'all will be the first to hear when I do! In a week or so M. Russell Ballard is going to come to our mission for a special Mission Wide Conference! It's going to be awesome. I get to meet an Apostle!!!! But I think we're going to be getting more information there!
Love y'all soo much! Hope y'all have an amazing week and keep up the faith! i love how awesome y'all's scripture studies have been!!
Love,
Elder Robertson
