I can't lie and say that I am not a little sad that I couldn't be there for my brother's wedding. But I can't express into words how happy I am and how proud I am of Matt and Michaella for taking such a huge step in their lives. I loved seeing all of the pictures and to answer your question mom I loved all of the pictures you sent and would love to see any others that you have! It sounded like everyone just had the most amazing and memorable weekend ever! I am so glad that it was such an amazing experience I know that Matt only deserved the best and it sounds like thats exactly what he got. Everyone looked so good and wow especially my sisters and my mom! Like absolutely breath taking!
With all of this I have been pondering a lot about the Plan of Salvation. I am out here sharing the most amazing and loving plan ever to be created but seeing all of this has given me such a new appreciation for the loving plan the our Father in Heaven has for each one of us. There is a belief here in some religions that families can't be eternal and we forget them after this life or we don't go on living with them and it actually hurts me to think that there are people who don't fully understand that valuable truth of the eternal family. The most spiritual and special moments on my mission have been those where I have been sharing The Plan of Salvation and just seeing these peoples' countenances light up as they here the precious truths of the restored gospel and the amazing things that we can learn for it. I love this work and if it wasn't for my burning testimony of the truth of this work and this gospel I don't think I could have felt okay not being there for the wedding.
The other thing that was kind of hard this week is that I got transfered out of Valiente to a ward called Ralma but I think it is in the geographical location Esperanza. I am very sad to leave Valiente especially because it is so close to becoming a ward. But I do feel like I did a lot of what the Lord needed me to do there and now I have new adventures that await me in Ralma. I was able to go back this past weekend for a couple baptisms of people I had been working with before I left Valiente, including the last member in a family that I had been working with. It was very special!
I love every one of yall so much and I am so glad the wedding turned out so well! Thank you for sending me pictures and telling me all about it! You guys are the best family anyone could ever ask for!
Welcome to the family Michaella!!
Love,
Elder Robertson
P.S. One more thing...Happy Fathers Day!! Yesterday was Fathers Day here in the DR so just another quick reminder to how amazing my family is and especially my Father!!
