Hi!
This week has been a little bit of an improvement since last week. We had 3 sit down lessons and found a few sweet potentials(one of which has a sweet '65 Mustang). One of the lessons we taught was to a math student at Indiana University( GO HOOSIERS!). He seems pretty interested but at the same time skeptical. He said that he doesn't really how to come into full faith into our religion. We told him that we would be happy to discuss his concerns during our later visits. We had a funny talk just yesterday with a Jewish lady and her daughter. They were asking us questions about our faith and what we believe. They tried to make us look dumb when they asked about what we think happens after we die. Some people just don't understand that when they try to make us look stupid it just doesn't work because our faith makes sense.
I went on an exchange with our district leader in Bedford (the southern most area in the mission). It was way fun and we got to learn a lot about each other and from each other. When we had our exchange review he had nothing but good things to say about me. the favorite thing he told me was this. "I couldn't even tell that you have been out for 2 and a half transfers, you are doing so well it was like I was serving with a seasoned missionary". Elder Roberts always makes me feel good.
Every week every missionary is supposed to send President Collins an email telling about that weeks efforts and how the missionary is feeling about how he is doing. Last week I reported to President Collins that that week was the hardest of my mission so far because we were working so hard and nothing was happening. He told me that he was so sorry that I was going through a rough time. But he was so proud of my willingness to keep working and to stay positive. Then he said a few other things that also made me feel good. President Collins is awesome!
We have been told that we will be receiving ice or snow over these next few days and it's going to be bad weather. So the fleet is probably going to be grounded as soon as we get the car. Sweet.

Love, Elder Robertson
