Elder Tyler Robertson: Week 79

Wow I can't beleive it is 2018! I remember so clearly last New Years Eve, I was with a missionary who finished in May 2017 and he said he felt super weird because it was the year the he was going to go home and I kind of chuckled and thought to myself "at least I don't have to worry about that because I felt like I was never going home. But now here we are and I feel as if that was last week and I don't really know how I feel. I still don't really feel like I am ever going to go home. Like I just don't feel like this is ever going to change, I feel like what I am doing right now is just life and it will always be my life.

This week was awesome! It was kind of hard because we couldn't go out as much because the 24, 25, 31 and 1 are pretty much the craziest days here in the DR. We got to go to the temple though which was awesome!! I went with a lot of questions in mind especially for what the Lord wanted from me for the last part of my mission. I can't really explain everything that happened partly because it would take forever but basically I love the temple and it is by far the best place to receive revelation!

For New Years we made some bomb burritos! I now live with a missionary named Elder Myers. He is super awesome and from Arizona. We made them together and the other missionaries loved them. I attatched a picture of when we had everything prepared. Later that night we went over to a recent converts house and ate hot dogs and played dominos. I actually have gotten pretty dang good and want to teach a lot of people when I get home because it is a super fun game!

Another fun little story is the sisters had a baptism and we had to go fill up the font. When we got there we realized there was a problem, there wasn't any water. We called the other missionaries and had to figure out what to do. We worked with the water for a while but we couldn't get it worked out so we had to call a truck and fill the font up with a giant hose. It was kind of fun!

But yeah this week was a little boring because we had to stay inside a lot but I am super pumped ofr January! I know this month is going to be full of miracles and there are many people waiting to start the year of by making a covenant with our Father in Heaven.

I love yall a ton!! Have an amazing first week of 2018!!!

Love,

Elder Robertson
