Week 72 - Just Do It

Transfers are Wednesday and nothing is changing! I get to stay and I'm super excited for that. We have a baptism this Sunday!! Her name is Bartola and she is 60 or so. She's awesome. We asked her if the knew what tithing was the other day and she proceeded to perfectly teach us what it is! It was awesome. She's so prepared. We're working really hard right now on being obedient and trying to serve the Lord with everything we've got. We're definitely starting to see miracles because of that. It's been super fun serving with Elder Rearte and I can't wait for another transfer of it.

Yesterday at Stake Conference someone gave a huge talk and related it all to backpacking. Many of the experiences he shared reminded me a lot of Philmont and the great times we had there. Mom and Dad, I'm so grateful for my childhood and all the great times I got to spend with y'all and the family. It's helped me become who I am today. As well. I just wanted to share the letter I sent to president today. It's just kind of what's been on my mind lately.

Dear President Clark,

President Anderson at Stake Conference last week gave an awesome talk. He talked about the fact that "we can do it". He went into how we are given a lot that we need to do and that all too often we don't hear the reassuring words that "WE CAN DO IT". This his me hard and made me think of the mission. The feeling I'm getting right now is that everyone is at the cross roads. We have all been given the tools that we need and everything that we need to do and how to do it. It's time now to decide that we can do it and then go and "just do it" to quote Nike of course.

I'm really going to focus on this with my district. That we are to just go and do. The other thing that President went into was that we need to understand that we are committing to do it horribly when we commit to do it. Simply meaning that at the beginning we're not going to be perfect. That is the whole reason we are striving for improvement. If we never start we never have the opportunity to improve. I'm excited for the next couple of months and the things the Lord has in store for us! Love you and hope you have a great week.

Love,
Elder Robertson

[Matt's home ward in Texas is getting split on November 1] That's so crazy that the ward has changed. So how small is our ward going to be? Is it going to even go into the gym now? That's so strange to me. We'll just have to find more people who want to be part of our ward and help them get baptized. :)

I love y'all so much and am so grateful for y'all's support and the wonderful family that i have. Have a great week! Love y'all!!

Love,

Elder Robertson

This is part of the "bola" -- the family we're teaching.

The family we're teaching made Elder Rearte a cake for his birthday and made us dinner...but they spelled his name wrong. hahah. They wrote "duarte" instead haha. But it's the thought that counts. 

@e also drank sparkling cider at another members house to celebrate Elder Rearte's birthday.

Some guys house... 'murica

The amazing breakfast Brother McIntyre made for us!! It's awesome too cause I'm texan so I love meat and Argentina's known for how much they love meat too in South america. It's the South American Texas!

Brother McIntyre also gave my companion every drink in the world this morning... haha
