Christmas as a missionary is dope

 This week has been really good! We had a lot of great Christmas activities throughout the week so it was really awesome! It was especially awesome having a very much Christ centered Christmas it was awesome! Here's some stories from the week:


Exchanges with Elder Grunander:
On Tuesday I went on exchanges to the Spanish elders area and it was super awesome! I couldn't really understand what was happening in any of the lessons but it was really awesome, I gotta bare my testimony in English and Elder Grunander translated into Spanish and it was just really awesome!

Zone Confrence:
Zone confrence was so awesome!! We had the usual trainings and stuff but then we did some Christmas stuff to and it was awesome! We acted out the nativity and it was really awesome! 

Christmas Eve Carroling:
On Friday me and Elder Cook went caroling and we found this lady who was just like "oh yeah missionaries" and she was so freaking nice and liked asked for our calling card and some pamphlets and stuff and it was super awesome!!

An Unforgettable Christmas:
Christmas was so freaking good!! We started out by opening our gifts, THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO SENT ME STUFF!!!! After opening our gifts we went and met up with a ton of other missionaries and went and carroled at some of the senior centers in the area and it was so awesome and so much fun, there was this one lady, her name was Betty and she was so freaking happy to see us. It was really awesome seeing the joy that came to these peoples eyes as we sang to them it was truly unforgettable! We then went and visited some of the members in are ward who didn't really have anyone on Christmas and it was really awesome getting to see how grateful and happy they were to see us! We then had two dinners with some families in the ward and it was so awesome!!

Anyways this week was super awesome!! Lots of amazing experiences and an amazing Christmas and probably some traditions I hope to keep doing every Christmas because it was so incredible! I love you all and I'm cheering you all on! Keep going!

 That's right folks, only four days left till I enter the field and I couldn't be more pumped. I am gonna miss my freaking awesome district though, no cap. but there's actually a few stories from this week so buckle up folks this email might be the longest one yet, a whole two paragraphs. Kickball: On Friday we played kickball with another district who was in our residency building just across the hall from us and it was tons of fun, but we lost miserably by like fifteen points. But I still had tons of fun. After the game the Elders from the district we played with came to give us a box of donuts to say sorry for absolutely destroying you, and in the box there was a single, solitary "L" shaped donut, it was a very well done prank. District scripture share: Saturday we got together as a district and shared our favorite scriptures and everyone shared really awesome scriptures that definitely made me feel the spirit. I shared D&C 122 5-8 and even...

  Henlo everyone this week was pretty cool and Good I'd say. We had some pretty dope miracles met with most of our friends, planning on putting some people on date this next week...so like things are on the up and up over here! Here's some stuff MIRACLES: First Floor Last Door: We went knocking right before a lesson at this one apartment complex that was really close to the lesson and holy smokes   so we were knocking and kinda had a rough start but we knock on this one guys door, his name is Terry. We asked if he'd wanna hear a message and he was like "sure" so like usual we checked to see if we heard him right and then taught the restoration to him, gave him a Book of Mormon, asked if we could come back and he said yes. So were going back on Saturday! Please be praying for Terry!!  Second Floor Last Door: Well in the same building we went to the second floor and started knocking the doors there didn't have much success until the last door! This lady name Del...

First p day

Hey everyone well it's only been three days but it feels like a lot has happened in just those three days, I met my district and comp and they're all really awesome people! My companion is Elder Kennedy and he is super chill. I can't wait to meet everyone in person though when I go to the Provo MTC this Wednesday, because right now it still feels kind of weird being at home even though I've been set apart as a missionary, I don't know quite how to explain it but it feels very surreal. Monday it felt like I was almost dreaming, because I've been anxiously waiting for this day to finally come for like a long time and now that it's here it feels so weird.  I know God loves you all and that He can help us through any trials we're facing, he's helped me a lot adjusting to missionary life! I invite you all to read D&C 121: 7-8 because they are really awesome verses that have helped me a ton this week. Anyways love you all.  -Elder Roberts
