I finally got access to a computer even though it isnt P-Day. So everything has been going pretty well these past couple days but the entire time before that was lame! my companion is the only thing that has been hindering me. he was was born deaf and he says thats the only handicap he has but our whole district thinks he is a little mentally challenged, he can only handle learning 2 principals at a time which makes me work even harder so i can carry a lesson all by myself if he totally freezes. But i know that i was the only one that could be his companion because of how patient i am. Everybody keeps asking me how i put up with him for so long because they would have ripped his head off by now. i just tell them that i am always reading my patriarchal blessing because it tells me to listen to the cries of small children and to utilize much patience and calmness and be a peace maker, and he is definitely a small child(even our branch president knows that). So everybody is constantly telling how great of a companion I am and they look up to me sooo much. That definitely helps me carry on in this tough time. My companions name is Elder Trozera and he keeps on breaking down in tears and saying he wants to go home, but we keep on comforting him, we have given him 3 blessings so far(1 of which was by me), and i have had to take him to the hospital twice, once because he was making a big deal out of a common cold, and another time cause he rolled his ankle. So really the only way I've been able to make it this far without breaking is by reading my patriarchal blessing constantly. We have 4 sisters in our district, but Sister Frederick is my favorite. She loves to sing just like i do and she has a great voice, and she tells me i have a great voice as well. She says whenever she looks at me when we are singing I have a smile on my face :). i told her i smile because it reminds me of singing back home while dad played the piano(that is one my fondest memory of home). After sacrament meeting yesterday we had our temple walk where i ran into Stan Wester and talked with him for about 10 minutes and got a picture with. I have also seen the guy we went to IFly with a few times. So that pretty much sums up my MTC experience thus far. I love and miss all of you!
Love, Elder Brogan Robertson
