Wow first of all don't feel bad about telling me all the amazing things yall are doing! I love reading about it! And I love all of the pictures that yall are sending! All of those pictures from Fiji are amazing! I love all of them! I am a little jealous that yall got to have so much fun in New York! The only time I have been in new work was when I flew here and that doesn't even count haha. But seriously don't hold back details! I mean of course I miss home but I love being here so don't worry about it! I soounds like yall are having quite the summer!! Summer here is just crazy crazy hot. It is a little odd because by this time last year it was raining a ton and still there hasn't been a ton of rain. Just a lot of sun.
As far as the work goes this week was a great week but without a lot to report on! Just a bunch of finding new people and working with the people we have. We are working with a bunch of youth who we met through the basketball acitivity that we had. It has been super awesome to bond with some people over basketball because everyone here is so crazy about baseball. I miss basketball so much and want to play a ton when I get home.
One of the fun things about being in a branch is the leaders confide in you a ton. Like yesterday when they forgot to assign talks, prayers and someone to confirm Chandra. So five minutes before the meeting starts the first counselor comes up and asks me to do all of it haha. I had to throw together a quick talk but I don't think it was too bad. But originally he told me it only had to be five to ten minutes but they put me last and all of the other speakers left me with about 25 minutes left haha... But I talks about obedience and I used a few of my favorite scriptures. Matthew 7:23; 1 Nephi 3:7; D and C 82:10; 130:20-21. If yall want a good study those are great scpritures to study especially thinking about questions like: Why does God give us commandments? What should our attitude me towards them? Why should we keep them? and What blessings come from each commandment that God gives?
It was a good week but not a ton to report on. I love yall a ton and am so glad that yall are having such amazing experienced! I love hearing about them! Have an amazing week!!
Love,
Elder Robertson
