Week 88 - The temple was amazing

The temple was amazing. I realized something kind of cool. I remember when I first went to the temple (which was about 2 years ago, CRAZY!). I remember how it was just such a huge stark contrast from the outside world. When I'd go to the temple the spirit would just be so very strong there that it would be night and day. Now, I am not saying that there isn't just a super strong spirit when I go to the temple because there is. However, I realized that it's not night and day anymore. It still is a spirit like no where else. But as I have been getting my life more and more in line with the will of God and have the spirit with me more often it has become a little bit more like the difference in dusk and day. I really hope this is making sense and isn't false doctrine or anything. It's just made me realize how I always want to feel like the way I live my life and the places and situations I put myself in aren't a polar opposite as that of the temple. I love the temple so much!

Cameron is doing great. She came to church again and we taught her in a member's home this past week. She is progressing well and loves church. She is still working on finalizing what day she wants to be baptized but I know that it is going to be soon! She's awesome! Ray was pretty sick on Sunday so we haven't seen him in a few days. He still seems to be excited about coming this upcoming week though so all is well with him. Kalee...we haven't been able to get in contact with. We're not really sure what happened. The Lord will take care of it though so we'll see what happens.

Sam and Lexus are two investigators that are super awesome as well. They LOVE the gospel. They love learning so much and have a million questions which is really cool. They are progressing well. This past week their mother, who we were a little worried about kind of hindering their progression, told us that she wants to come to church this next Sunday and start listening to us!!! God works on people at all times. It's amazing.

Our mission just changed the rule on music and it is now 100% MOTAB. So I was curious if y'all have the CD from them titled "Come Thou Fount Of Every Blessing"? It's my favorite and I do not have it. OH, and the website is going well. We are trying to finish it in the next 2 weeks or so! We'll see what happens. I'm learning a ton so that's super cool. If I'm honest though... I don't like it at all because of the time it takes away from being a missionary. But It seems to be what's needed so I'll just finish it as fast as I can

Everything is going well here. I'm loving the work here even though it's going slowly. It's super different working in English and actually much harder. The trials and such you help people with are much different. None the less, I love it. I just love being able to preach the gospel. It sounds plain and cheesy but it's the truth. There is no greater call. It brings the greatest joy. I love y'all so much and hope that y'all have an amazing week!!!

Love,

Elder Robertson

Elder Robertson got to attend the Fresno LDS Temple this week. He gets to do that once a quarter, so that's a treat for him.
