Hey family,
I'm not very happy today. Because I got the call, once again, that I am being transferred. It doesn't make any sense. I have only been here for one transfer and I only have one transfer left, I don't know why they would move me now. I wanted to stay here so bad, this is a sweet ward. We had to give talks on yesterday by the way. I am pretty upset about moving AGAIN. I thought I was done moving.
Well if you want to know about the work, it was slow again this week. We tried committing somebody to baptism but they declined. It was a part member family. The husband is coming back into activity, he picked up tobacco while he was inactive. The 2 kids were recently baptized a few months ago. So we invited the nonmember wife to be baptized. She said no because she was waiting for her husband to be worthy to baptize her. He even said that she didn't have to wait for him and that he didn't want to hold her back. But she couldn't see anybody else baptizing her but him. So we understood.
That was pretty much the only big thing that happened this week. We were told on Wednesday night that they needed us to speak in sacrament meeting. So at least we were given more heads up than a call on Saturday afternoon. This talk went fairly well I think. I wasn't shaky or nervous or anything. Elder Madsen on the other hand was super shaky and visibly nervous. I was sitting next to another speaker who was baptized about 2 months ago, she's an 18 year old girl and super funny. I spoke on the Restoration and Elder Madsen spoke on the Plan of Salvation, the first 2 lessons in Preach My Gospel. We pretty much taught a lesson over the pulpit. It was sweet.
Also on Wednesday night, we went to a mens choir practice that the ward is doing. It is so cool, I am super bummed that I won't be able to do it anymore. They are doing everything acappella. I am going to copy the music and maybe we can sing it as a family when I get home. That would be awesome!
Anyways, that was my week.
Love,
Elder Robertson
