This week
flew by, 1 more week and I’m in the USA!! On Thursday we finished all
of our language lessons which is equivalent to 6 years of espanol. Now we
are just reviewing everything this week, then going into the FIELD!!!
The
teachers are starting to open up and tell personal stories and testimonies, they
are the most amazing teachers!! We now have 5 investigators and on Friday we
are going to have in field orientation.
The
temple today was so amazing, I understood everything and it was all in espanol.
Companions are a very interesting to have with you for 24 hours 7 days a week,
especially if you get ticked at each other, but we always work it out.
Sunday I
fasted again, it is so amazing how it strengthens you, I love Sundays so much!
Some days are rough when I can’t get home out of my head but I just have
a prayer in my heart for you guys all the time. We have the opportunity to be
investigators for the younger groups here and have them teach us, it is a crazy
cool experience, it gives you the perspective of an investigator.
Please
send me stuff I love from home that I haven’t had in Mexico, anything! I
survived this long I can make it till Wednesday of next week.
Hermano
Draper could tell something was affecting me this week and I told him I was
pretty homesick and he said he got homesick sometimes on his mission and he
shared this scripture with me D&C 31: 2-3 it helped me a lot. Just wanted
to share it with everyone:
2 Behold, you have had many afflictions because of your family;
nevertheless, I will bless you and your family, yea, your little ones; and the
day cometh that they will believe and know the truth and be one with you in my
church.
3 Lift up your heart and rejoice, for the hour of your mission
is come; and your tongue shall be loosed, and you shall declare
glad tidings of great joy unto this generation.
Mom, you
have no idea how much I miss you. Everyday it’s weird to not have someone who
loves you so much she would do absolutely anything for you.
Dad, I
miss having someone who will support me in anything I choose to do
and always want to talk about anything.
Grace,
you keep saying I am example to you. You have always been my example, you would
be a much better missionary than me.
Annie, I miss someone who no matter what laughs at my jokes.
Mollie, I
miss your laugh and your funny faces.
Sophie I
miss how crazy you are and how you always have fun.
Love,
Elder
Roberts
