Family, I appreciated your thoughts on gratitude. I am going to strive to give God thanks now and from now on. I know that he really does give us more than we can imagine and that all we have to do is open our eyes to start seeing the blessings.
I loved the scripture verses that you sent me last week as well and I'm still delving into them. I have grown very fond of the Doctrine and Covenants as of late. There's a lot of really neat Doctrine in those pages. Well, I mean I guess that's true for all scripture.
This week was good. We had a baptism in our branch again! Elder Quintana baptized. It was super awesome. It was a beautiful service. Elder Rearte and I are working super hard to have a baptism this next week. I know that we will have one. There's some people who are dang ready they just need to take that final step. We had a great Thanksgiving party for the branch. It was super awesome and the food was great. It was nice to get a Turkey dinner early since I won't be able to have one on the actual Thanksgiving. Other than that there really wasn't a ton that happened. It's only been a weekend since we've talked. We had 5 investigators at church so that was awesome. We had someone finally come back from her trip to Mexico, Alejandra, who is super prepared. We have an appointment with her tonight!!! It's gonna be awesome.
Today we're going to Hanford to have a Turkey Bowl with 5 zones..... it's gonna be huge!! it's gonna be tons of fun! It is crazy though that I run every morning but I'm still out of shape. It's all the delicious Mexican food I'm given. Those enchiladas and tortillas really do me in! haha
We find out if one of us is getting Transfered this saturday! I really hope I stay. Although this area has been kind of hard, I've really grown to love these people and I just want to keep helping them. Luckily, everywhere I go it will be like that! What a blessing of the mission.
Sorry the letter is kind of short. There just really wasn't that much that went on this week.
Love,
Elder Robertson

We went to a part member family's son's soccer games! It was fun. They tied 4-4. We got to know the family really well so there's a lot of potential there!
