Hey Mom,
My birthday was awesome!! I love the new pen, scriptures, twinkies, and most of all, the pictures. I'm glad you sent a picture of me logrolling, I finally get to show what it looks like to people! I loved the picture of Ruger too, I miss playing with him and laying on the couch with him. The picture of my friends holding the paper is awesome, even though I don't know 3 out of 7 of them. The picture of you guys with my shirts on was pretty sweet too, it only took me a few seconds to notice you had my shirts on too. I thought it was really cool that you told the Appels that it was my birthday, her and 2 of her daughters came up to me and wished me a happy birthday at church, it was pretty sweet. We got to meet Earl the Parrot at dinner, he is a big noisy Maccaw (I don't know how to spell that). It was a really good birthday overall.
It has been so hot here the past few days! I thought I was going to die of heat exhaustion on Saturday, that was probably the most I have ever sweat my entire life. On the bright side though, I'm starting to get pretty tan, my legs are pretty white though. My teaching skills are getting better, I'm still doing a lot of fine tuning, but I know that will be happening my entire mission. There is always room for improvement. President Collins sent me an email like he does every week, in it he informed me that Elder Goodwin will be leaving soon (which I already knew), then he told me he would be needing my skills and abilities. Sounds like I might be getting some kind of leadership position soon, scary! Hopefully I will be able to step up to the challenge. I'm not too scared though, I'm usually able to step up and take the lead.
Well thanks again for everything that you sent me and all that you do for me.
Love,
Elder Robertson
