Hey Family,

So this week was sort of eventful. Saturday was the weirdest day of the week. So around 1 in the afternoon, we received a call from a less-active member who has had a homeless guy living in his house for a few days. So he asked us to come over and help get him out. So we went over there and he was just sitting outside his house in a camping chair. So we asked him where the homeless guy was and he said he was inside sleeping on the futton. So he made up this plan to get him out and we pretty much didn't do anything, he did it all. We were just there for moral support I guess. Well he finally left after saying a lot of bad words and taking a pair of clean socks and taking a bag of food.Then we almost saw a fight on Saturday because somebody was tailgating another guy.

We got to go out with the bishop to see a few people on Saturday as well. It was pretty awesome. After everybody we went by weren't home, we went to a less-actives house who bishop wanted to see. It was pretty intense. He was so bold with him, didn't sugar-coat anything. I guess that was the only way to get through to this guy. Bishop invited him to come to church but he ended up not coming. The reason this guy doesn't come to church is because he thinks it's boring. The Bishop didn't like that answer. He said "I really don't like it when somebody comes to me and says that church is boring because it's not my job as a bishop to entertain you". It was a pretty intense lesson, I enjoyed every bit of it, even though he didn't come to church, I learned from the bishop that sometimes you just have to be super bold.

We will be getting 3 new investigators this coming week. One of them is a referral from the Avon missionaries, they taught her one lesson and then sent her our way because she lives in our area. The other 2 are headquarters referrals. It is a spanish couple. They went to Hawaii and saw the temple and the sister missionaries. The wife gave them her information so that she could learn more. A lot of her family are members down in South America, so she wants to learn more, it seems like she is going to get baptized. Her husband is Catholic, so we will se what we can do there.

So that was pretty much our week. A little weird. A little fun. But overall good.

Love,
Elder Robertson

You asked about my companion.  He is from Brigham City, Utah. He is quiet most of the time, unless we are at home by ourselves, then he talks a lot. He is a diabetic. He wears glasses. He is a little taller than me. He is sort of athletic, but didn't play sports in high school.

Gotta go.  Love you.
