Hey Mom!
So this week was really slow, I have had slower ones, but it was still pretty bad. We had one lesson with an investigator and a few more with less-actives. And the one investigator moved out of the ward, so now we are down to a few investigator who we were told were solid before we came in, but we haven't even met them yet and we have been here almost 2 weeks now. Although it was Thanksgiving week and weekend so that may have had something to do with it. Oh well.
So I don't have much of anything to report. I do not drive my companion does, we bike a little bit but we have been doing a lot of walking, I do like my companion but he is pretty controlling, when he wants to do something, he does it and convinces me if I don't want to, and yes we had a dinner on Thanksgiving. We went to a families get together, but we had to leave early cause the old person that brought us had to go take their meds. At the dinner I got to meet the ward mission leader of the Zionsville branch and I hope I get to serve there before I go cause that family is pretty awesome. I don't get to play dodgeball anymore because I am out of the zone that we played dodgeball in, so now just us and 2 more companionships get together to play basketball. It's alright, but not as fun as dodgeball. This might be the time that I email you, but who knows, last week we left right away and this week my companion made us stay in the apartment until 12:00 to play poker, so I don't know for sure if this will be the time that I email.
That is pretty surprising that Bishop Jones is being released. I bet Bro. Hornibrook will take his place.
In your talk you can tell the ward that I am so grateful for the support that they have given me and still give me, that I am grateful for the cards and gifts they have sent me and I am sorry for not replying to them or sending a thank you note, I am really bad at that.
So for Christmas all I can think of for you to send me is just more ties, that is all I can really think of besides all the stuff we have already talked about. How about a CD or 2 or however many you want to send me of by Andrea Bocelli, Josh Groban, MoTab, Alex Boye, and any other cool spiritual CD's, maybe some cool classical music, and I need another CD case. Just make sure they are spiritual based before sending them.
So I just remembered how long I have been out and it blew my mind. I will have been out 14 months tomorrow, and this will be my second Christmas out here. I can't believe it.
Today we will probably go out to eat then go play basketball.
Love,
Elder Robertson
