Hey Mom!
So I had no idea Charlotte was going to serve a mission, and that is so awesome that she is going to Ukraine. Go Charlotte!
 So to answer your question about my companion. His name is Elder Thomas, he is from Idaho, he is a lot of fun to serve with. I am his first companion that isn't from Utah, booyah! I am still making videos on that camcorder, I don't really have very much time to make them, and when I do have time I am just so tired that I don't want to do anything but sit or lay down. Sorry it is taking me so long. I forgot to tell you that I would love to have one of those shirts that says Run LMJ, that would be so awesome! BTW, I met the Tenny's last night at Why I Believe! I talked with them for like 10 minutes, it was really cool. They are in the ward directly north of mine.
So a little about my week. A lot of our investigators dropped us or we dropped them. We are going to be dropping another one here pretty soon if he doesn't won't to live the Word of Wisdom or the Law of Chastity, and he needs to clean up his language. When we taught him the Word of Wisdom, he called Joseph Smith a "dumb *".  I don't think he really means a lot of the things he says because he is always drunk, I have never seen him sober cause he drinks wine all the time. So we might drop him pretty soon if he doesn't start quitting some of this stuff. He kind of confuses us though because he comes to church and reads the Book of Mormon, we just don't know what to do with him. One of our investigators dropped us because he was gay and discovered that we don't agree with that, so that was that. We dropped one because he takes forever to answer questions and he won't give us straight answers. We literally sat there in silence for 5 minutes or longer, waiting for him to answer a question. We had a lesson with a guy who is totally comfortable telling us every single thing he has done in his life, including attempting to kill his wife. He is totally crazy, he used to be a drug addict but he has cleaned up a lot. He has a lot of potential though, we gave him a Book of Mormon and he said he would read it and pray about it and about Joseph Smith. I finally got to make my mormon.org profile on Saturday, so it should be up sometime next week. Have you made yours yet? We are starting to do a lot of less active/part-member family work, we found a few sweet part-member families on Saturday that we may have some success with, I am excited.
So that was pretty much my week in an egg shell.
Love,
Elder Robertson
