So my birthday was okay. Nobody fed us, so I made myself a ham sandwich for my birthday dinner. The exciting thing was that as we were driving somewhere, there was a turtle in the road and I stopped and took a few pictures with it. It was pretty sweet, I was hoping to find a snake as well, but the turtle was pretty awesome. This birthday was the most normal day of my life. I'm not complaining though, it wasn't a bad day, it just didn't feel like a birthday.
So we finally got in contact with some investigators that we haven't seen in a while. We saw Leon who got in contact with an old pastor friend. We had a nice conversation with him but it was cut short because he had to go help his son. We also got in contact with a girl named Sierra. She is looking for a church but is very sceptical about jumping into anything without knowing enough about it. So she is taking it slow and steady. We found a few other people who invited us back, one of which said that she has never heard anything about our church before. Perfect! A fresh start without any outside influences.
The training up in Fishers was pretty fun. We received training from President Collins and a training from each of his assistants. Then at the end we just counciled with President Collins for 45 minutes over any issues in the mission. It was pretty sweet to be in a setting like that with all the district leaders of the mission. President Collins told us how important we are to the mission. He said that we are like the bishops of the mission, we hear problems from other missionaries, we give training every week, and we report on our district every week to our zone leaders. We are also entitled to revelation on behalf of our district, which I have experienced. I never thought being a district leader would be this awesome. I just hope this isn't preparing me for a similar calling in the future.
So that was my week. Sounds like everybody else had good weeks as well according to the emails I have received.
Love,
Elder Robertson
