Hey!
So this week has been going by very fast even though the work is moving slowly here in the Indy 2 area. We had a total of 5 lessons compared to the 14 lessons we usually have here. We dropped one of our investigators that we have been meeting with for a few months because he hasn't remembered anything that has been taught to him and he said he wouldn't give up smoking. So we dropped him. We have been doing a lot of driving and a lot of going by less-active members. There were a few people that said we could come back and talk with them, maybe we will be able to re-activate them! We impressed the High Priest Group Leader when we told him one of the people said we could come back because they have gone by that person multiple times and they were never there. We also met some Robertsons who moved here from Seaside, Oregon. Maybe we are related? It was pretty cool. But they weren't interested in us coming back. Oh well.
So this trio that I am in probably won't last through the week. President Collins is going to talk with us today. I am a little nervous about who will be going and who will stay. But whatever happens, I know it is what the Lord wants. You may not want to send anything yet, in case I get moved somewhere else.
We also had a zone conference this week which was really cool. President Collins is definitely one of the greatest speakers I have ever heard. He is probably going to be a general authority some day. He was talking about a bunch of stuff related to cosmology(not cosmetology) and the sun. It was mind-boggling how much he new about space and the universe. I can't remember how he tied it in to the gospel but he did, and it was pretty amazing.
We had a good lesson with Paul and his son Eli on Friday. Eli had read a few chapters in the Book of Mormon(he got the app on his IPhone), We also got Paul a large print Book of Mormon with the Doctrine+Covenants and Pearl of Great Price. He was super excited and grateful for it. Eli was excited to report on his reading which was super cool, and he brought a lady friend over and we got to teach her a little bit. We are going back on Tuesday to teach all three of them, can't wait!
So that was pretty much the highlights of the week.
Love,
Elder Robertson
