Hey Mom!
This morning we had to proselyte from 10 to 1. Then pday is the rest of the night, but we have to stay inside from 6 until we go to sleep. So we are going to order a pizza.
So We got transfer calls this morning and my companion is getting transferred and is going zone leader and I am staying here, still junior companion as far as I know. I am glad I get to stay though because this area has been exploding this last week. So this means I will be here for Thanksgiving this year.
If that talk by Elder Holland is the one when he talks about the last chapter in John at the end of his talk, then yes I have seen it, but only the part when he talks about that chapter. I was actually going to see if you could get that for me on a DVD so I could watch it out here. Also, If you could get the last general conference on DVD, I would love that as well. I also wanted to ask for a CD by Alex Boye named Spirit. Those are some of the things I wanted for Christmas. I figure I had better tell you before I forget.
By the way, we loved the package you sent. Elder Thomas was excited to have one of those Duck cups, and he loved the candy. Thank you so much!
So this week we got 4 new investigators, it has been awesome. One of them we found just by tracting and he let us in right there. Another one we found when we drove up to this apartment complex. As we were parking, this guy walked past our car, so we got out and talked to him. Come to find out he was shot 6 times last year and was humbled greatly because of it. So we got to teach him right then and there. Another person we met a little while ago but we finally got to teach him this week. The last person we met a little while ago as well. She is very sick with a bunch of stuff. So we offered a blessing and she excitedly accepted it. But she didn't have a man in the house at the time, so we came back the next day and gave her a blessing. She was very grateful for it.
Also, when we were driving back to our apartment with a member after the trunk or treat at the church, this guys two daughters told us something awesome. They have this friend who is super interested in the gospel! They were telling us of all these experiences they had with their friend, and they were telling us like their friend was weird for asking all of these questions. So we told them to keep us updated and to invite her to church so we could meet her. They even brought up the idea to invite their friend to their house and bring us over so we can teach her. They are awesome missionaries. I think they know that their friend can join the church, but I don't think they fully realize that if she meets with us that she will become a member of the church.
One more thing and I will be done. So the bishop here enlightened our minds about something. So he said that the member are pretty good about sharing the gospel, which is totally true. But, he said that they weren't very good at inviting them to do things, such as coming to church, mutual, or meeting with us. Nobody would join the church if they weren't invited to do so. Invitations are critical if we want this church to grow.
So that is pretty much all I have this week.
Love,
Elder Robertson
