Another transfer down 😎 only 5 left 😱😅😭😭😭😭😭😭🤕 Jan 22, 2023

 Hello all! This week was pretty good, enough with the introduction though here it is.


UPDATES:


Mike: Mike is dope! He's almost finished all the Book of Mormon videos and just loves them! He ran into some anti and lets just say being the legend he is immediately dismissed it and was just like "yep, that's not true" 😎


Nicole: She's finished the first chapter of the Book of Mormon and were meeting with her tomorrow 😎 please send prayers 🤠


STORY TIME:


Funniest Door Knock:

So here's probably one of the funniest things that's happened to me for a little while but we were out tracting doing our thing. We knocked on this one ladies door and she was like "nah" so we went to the next door, as missionaries do. Suddenly out of nowhere we start hearing a song, and a women belting out the words to this song. It started with talking about Christ and stuff and I was thinking "oh, boy here we go again" but then it starts talking about people sailing across the sea and at this point I'm like hold up. And then the next words our "I'm a Mormon, and Mormons just believe" and so both me and Elder Johnston just starting laughing. The lady who just told us "nah" went out of her way to start playing this song full blast and belting out the words to try and get our goat but I just thought it was hilarious 😂😂 


SPIRITUAL THOUGHT:


This week's spiritual thought is going to relate to the new year! 🥶 so something we've been sharing with members around here is in Luke 2:16-17. I'm pretty positive I've share it with you all but that's was most likely a year ago so imma do it again.


16 And they came with HASTE, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. 

17 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning


My favorite words in the Scriptures are the ones that don't necessarily need to be there but are because there's a reason for them! I love the word haste in the context of the shephards because I'm sure they could have thought of some pretty good excuses not to go right away to see the baby Jesus. Similarly throughout the course of a year its very easy to make up just about any excuses of why we too can't go "see" our Savior. So my invitation for you all this week and honestly for this year is to find one way you can more fully come with Haste to Jesus Christ this year. I promise you as you do you will feel the light of Christ enter with great power into each of your lives! 


That's all for this week folks! Love you all and remember keep fighting that good fight!

 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!

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
