-I did get one of the packages and will get the other one on Wednesday at Zone Conference.
-THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE PACKAGE!! It really does make me feel like I'm somewhat home for Christmas when I get a big package full of goodies. It will make Christmas morning amazing with all of my presents. :)
This week was super busy for us... we had an exchange with the Assistants up in Fresno which was cool. Their area is oober rich.. It's ridiculous! I got to go into the nicest houses that I've been into on my mission during that exchange. It was cool to be with the Assistants. They're really awesome and great friends of mine! One of them is actually from Texas as well! He's from Plano East..... or west.. Whichever one was really big and good at football. So it was cool cause we had heard of each others' high schools and got to talk about that a little bit. It was fun! Bummer to hear that LT didn't pull out the win though. As well for BYU.... Come on that's just embarrassing. We can't let Utah show us up like that!!
We got to go to a few baptisms in the zone this week which was cool. It's amazing the caliber of missionary that is being sent out right now. Every new missionary that comes in I'm just blown away with. Even if they're not the most personable person in the world it's amazing how they can still articulate the points of the gospel so well. It truly is amazing how the Lord is able to work through all of us no matter what our current skill set is. We had to be out of our area this week a lot which was super frustrating!!! But we hopefully will have a lot of time this week to make it up.
This website is suuuuper weird. We have pretty much free roam of the internet for putting it together. Never thought that would be a thing on my mission haha. But my companion and I are definitely excited for the learning opportunity and ultimately the blessing that it is going to be for the mission! I've enjoyed serving with Elder Speer a ton. He is very intelligent and we are able to just talk about anything. It's super cool. He's the first companion that I think I jive with on pretty much all cylinders. It makes the work much easier. It's just all about getting work done and helping people access salvation. What could be better than that!?
I am so grateful for my Savior. Especially at this time of the year. I love teaching about him and being able to really teach in His place. That is what my call is to do and I try to take it more and more seriously every day as I come to understand it more and more. I am so grateful for His Atonement and the implications of what that means. He loves us more than we can comprehend and can help us love more than we know. I love the spirit that comes with Christmas as most people try and come closer to Christ!! It gives us a little bit of a glimpse of what the millennium will be like when everyone has come unto Christ! It'll be like Christmas time for a 1000 years! Oh the joy :D. I love y'all so much and hope that y'all have a great Christmas! I will talk to y'all in 4 days!!!! yeeee.
Love,
Elder Robertson
