Hey Family,
So, this week not too much happened. Had our ward conference, got to see a few people in stake callings that I knew. So that was cool. We had a zone meeting, where the whole zone got together for 3 hours and the zone leaders trained us. They trained separately. I liked the first zone leaders training, but I didn't so much like the second one. The second frustrated everybody. He was pretty much telling us to step it up and be better because "they"(the zone leaders) were carrying the zone numbers wise. It was really stupid. It's just that one zone leader though, the other one is really nice.
The rest of the week was nice though. Met some interesting people, as per usual. We tracted into a nerdy frat house. We talked to one of the guys for a really long time and he recorded our conversation to put on his website. His websites purpose is to show that people can get along while talking about their opinions and stand points without arguing. It's a really good idea and intention. It was just really awkward.
We also taught an old guy this week who we are going to meet with again this week and he offered to take us out to dinner. So that is pretty sweet.
I loved the package by the way. The other set of elders in Terre Haute stayed the night last night and I made the biscuits and gravy this morning. It was really good. Thank you so much. And the banana bread is super good too.
I am going to be getting another box or 2 today so I can start packing more things in them to send home. So be looking for more boxes in the next couple of weeks.
Sounds like you just need to stay away from knives for the rest of your life, mom. You just have a bad track record with them. Maybe you should have somebody else cut stuff for you. I still haven't had any stitches ever, I should have when I cut my finger on the rafting trip, but it wasn't available. Oh, well. I think I am the only one in the family that has never had stitches or broken bones. I don't think I have ever had to go to the emergency room because of me, except for when I was born.
Well, that is kinda weird that I haven't met Mitchell's girlfriend either. It is just gonna be weird coming home and meeting all these new people. The thing I want to do the most, besides being with my family of course, is getting back in contact with my friends. I haven't heard from them in 2 years except for Tyler, so I really want to hang out with them again.
Well, I have been doing good this week. We found 2 new investigators, so that was exciting. We are going to have our stake conference this coming Saturday and Sunday. There is going to be Elder Archibald from the 6th quorum of the seventy coming. And I am going to get to see everybody that I know from the University ward and Bedford. I am super stoked for that.
We are also having President interviews this Wednesday, pretty excited about that as well. My last one before my departing interview in the mission home. Crazy!
So that is pretty much what is going on here.
Love,
Elder Robertson

Hey Family,
So this week was pretty good. We had a lot of things cancel on us, but we didn't let that bother us. One thing that did bother me though was when I had to report district numbers to the zone leaders. So as a district, we had 11 lessons among the 3 companionships. The zone leader I was talking to was like, "we had 11 lessons just by ourselves". He just couldn't accept that that many lessons could cancel. It was stupid.
We had a great preparation day yesterday though. So on Sunday night, the other 2 companionships came and slept over at our apartment. So there was 6 missionaries in that apartment, it was so much fun. It was like a district slumber party. We won't be doing it ever again because we didn't get to sleep until after midnight. We did a lot of physical activity at the church and it was super fun. We are all super sore today though. and I jammed one of my toes really bad and it hurts a lot, but oh well. It was totally worth it.
We had a few good lessons with some investigators. We haven't been able to meet with most of them though. We are doing a lot of tracting and stuff and trying to get in contact with those people that I told you about last week. Not too much is happening around here though, we are just trying to meet with people consistently and helping a few of them progress towards baptism.
I got another crazy email today. It was my final flight itinerary. I can't believe it is this close. I love my mission and all, but I am exhausted and worn out. I am kinda excited to get home and rest a while.
Oh! Cool story. So this member was visiting some family in the area and he came to our ward on Sunday. He is from Rexburg, Idaho and I told him I would be going to school up there. He was like "you should totally get in contact with me when you get up there and I'll hook you up." So looks like I am getting some connections up there.
So that was my week.
Well, I have to get off now so I can go do missionary work, Love you!!
Love,
Elder Robertson
