Hey Family!
The weeks just keep on going. It's funny how weeks back home seemed so long, but out here they go by like it is one big blur. I can't remember what days I did things on because it seems like one long day. Some funny things happened this week. So I will tell you a story or two.
So in Elders Quorum yesterday, the lesson was a train wreck! I am so glad none of our investigators were there or else we would have lost them forever. The lesson was supposed to be on the spirit world but got way out of hand. I am not going to tell you exactly what was said because I know who will see this email, so I will just say that a bunch of deep doctrine was brought up. A lot of the things that were said weren't even true, just made up stuff from the teacher. One of the guys there stood up and walked out after he had told everyone to get off the subject, after he said what he said, people attacked him(with words). It was the worst lesson I have ever been in, I was astonished beyond all measure, like Alma when he saw the way the Zoramites prayed. That guy is probably not going to teach again.
Another story. So earlier this week we went and tried by a less-active member after some plans had fallen through. They didn't answer. So while we were on the door step, a guy came out of his apartment across the parking lot to have a cigarette. So we went and talked to him. He was the funniest guy I have ever met. He was kinda making fun of us but it was just light humor and we knew he didn't mean any harm by it. He was talking about aliens and how we believe Joseph Smith came from another planet(not true BTW). I won't say any more of the stuff he said cause he used lots of foul language.
So enough funny business, lets hear some good stuff. So I told you how we were dropping investigators left and right. We are finally being blessed for it. We have received a few promising referrals and some cool potentials. So we are going to be having a lot of people to try by in the upcoming week. And we have a full time car now, so we can go to the outer reaches of our area more often to try by some less-actives and part member families. So that is really all I have to report on this week.
So far today we have cleaned the car, shopped, and gone to Steak N' Shake. We will go and play dodgeball after this. So I just emailed Parker and I hope he takes what I said constructively.
Love,
Elder Robertson
