Week 90 - Hello, this is Elders Roberts and Robertson

So transfers this week! I am staying in Hanford and getting a new companion. His name is Elder Roberts.. No joke haha. It's gonna be a little crazy..... When we answer the phone, "Hello, this is Elders Roberts and Robertson" hahaha. He is a new zone leader so I'll be running around teaching him everything as we go. I'm a little nervous cause I still feel like I'm barely getting the hang of things but I know the Lord will help me out. I'm super sad to see Elder Speer go. I learned a ton from him. Seriously a ton. More than from any other companion. I'll miss him a lot. Plus we had a ton of fun together. It'll be cool seeing him after the mission and catching up. We're not quite sure what we're going to do about the website though.. haha. We're super deep into it and on the final stretch of things but now going to have to do it all over the internet or something. Who knows! We'll see how it all goes.

Ray is doing well. He is stoked to get baptized next week but is feeling pretty lousy since they put the catheter in his chest as the input for the chemo. It's knocked him out pretty good especially with the medication he is on. But he is still working super hard to repent and prepare for his baptism.

This week was kind of a rough one. Everything fell through... I mean everything. We had 10 set appointments just cancel this week.. THAT'S UNHEARD OF! haha. It was weird but I was able to learn the principle of diligence and faithfulness even in the sight of nothing really happening in that moment. I'm excited to see what this next week has in store as I keep that diligence and things work out a little more as well.

I love my mission a lot. It amazes me how much I really do love it sometimes. We were eating dinner with a couple last night who are former mission president and wife. They were telling us a story about a group of missionaries in their mission who did some dumb stuff. The whole time they were telling us the story my stomach was in knots. I can't imagine doing something like that with the Savior's name on my chest. My name tag would burn a hole right through my chest. I realized in that moment how precious my mission was to me. It was kind of an ah ha moment if you will. I realized that I would never ever do anything to jeopardize my mission. I love my Savior way too much and understand that truly he is the one who called me. I love the Lord and I love this gospel. I love y'all a ton and hope that y'all have an amazing week!

Love,

Elder Robertson
