Elder Matthew Robertson : Week 43

BEING A TRAINER IS AWESOME! It's been a super cool blessing to be a trainer. I was definitely nervous on the trials that awaited me by getting a brand new companion. Was he going to be lazy.. was he going to want to follow the rules.. what's he going to be like? Will I be able to teach him? Am I capable of this? All sorts of questions. But when I got him.. I knew that it was an assignment from God and that he would qualify me to do whatever was necessary to help him. Luckily, though, it's not much. He's an awesome missionary! He has such a drive for the work and I love it. We're working waaay hard! It's awesome! He's from North Carolina WOOO SOUTH. We get along great and I'm excited for this next transfer.

It's so crazy to think that everyone is so old now! Where did the time go? It's gonna be so different when I come back :( AHHH But it's okay. It's all worth it. But this week has been really good. It was nuts. I had to pretty much be a nomad on wednesday and stay in Fresno.. and sleep on the floor while I was waiting to get my companion (which was on thursday). but it was good.

We have seen some cool miracles lately as we have been working so hard. The biggest one is just how many people we are finding to teach. Right now I think we have 20 investigators with many hopes to keep increasing that number. OH how glorious this work is.

No crazy updates this week.. just pretty much same old same old. But hey...... allergies stink soooo much here!! I AM DYING. but I'll get over it. I have never had allergies like this. But that's what the valley'll do to ya! Or at least that's what everyone keeps telling me.

I hope that y'all have a wonderful week and such! I love y'all tons and am excited as well for this upcoming weekend for Easter and General Conference.

Love,

Elder Robertson
