Hey Mom,
So this weeks weather was crazy. We had a thunder storm early on in the week. Then we kinda had a mini ice storm. Now we are having more rain and last night was really warm, I didn't even need my over coat. Indiana weather is just crazy.
This week was a little better than the last one. We met with a lot of less-active members. I have been told that missionaries have done that a lot in the past. It seems like that is all we can do because we can't seem to get any new investigators. Oh well. But the ward is starting to trust us more and more. We have gotten a few referrals from members this week which has been awesome. Even though they didn't pan out so well, it is great to know that people are starting to trust the missionaries. We have to give talks on this coming Sunday. I am going to talk mostly to the youth for the first part and talk about the missionary schedule, Preach My Gospel, White Handbook, and the missionary calling. Then I am going to talk to everybody about Preach My Gospel because it seems like everybody thinks that it is only for missionaries which is completely and 100% false. So I am going to help them see how Preach My Gospel can apply to them and help them in any way they need. I have been in most of these families homes so I have been able to see that this is what I should speak on. I have never been pumped up to give a talk in sacrament meeting before, but I am for this one. It is gonna be awesome.

It makes me very happy that I made some sort of an impression on the kids I played Lacrosse with. I hope I still have my skills when I come home so I can keep up with Mitchell.

love,
Elder Robertson
