5 July 2011

Hi Mom,

My 4th of July was pretty fun. We had a 4th of July Breakfast at the church with the ward which was fun. Then we went home and cleaned a little bit and I cut my hair. Then we went to the church again to play basketball and soccer with the zone leaders and the spanish elders. I am so sore from that, I haven't done anything that fast paced in a long time. The reason why I had to be with the zone leaders last week was because my companion left on monday so I had to be with somebody until transfers on wednesday. Then we went to the Appel's for Cecilia's birthday and for dinner, that was pretty fun. So that was my 4th of July here. We didn't see any fireworks.

I am happy to hear that you all had a great time in Utah. I am not sure how I feel about you potentially moving there. But when my mission is finished, no matter where the rest of my family is, my plane is taking me to Oregon.

My new companions name is Elder Empey. He is my District leader, which means I am still a junior companion. But that doesn't bother me one bit. I love my new companion and he is from Idaho Falls, Idaho. He went to BYU Idaho before he came out here. There is also another Elder that was really cool who is now going to Rexburg. His name is Jack Carskaddon. I don't know if I spelled his last name right but he was really awesome.

A few people from my MTC district are training right now which is super crazy. So that is pretty much all that has gone on since I talked to you last.

Love,
Elder Robertson
