Elder Connor Robertson Atlanta Georgia North Mission

  Hello, and Merry Christmas!  Yes I know that Christmas is not today or this week, but you are going see me write it in every email this week.  This week was a good one and I'll try to it justice, and please give me mercy when I mess up :)  The morning of Tuesday had begun, and we started off doing service at the local library. Once again we bagged a lot of food, but this time I was on apples. And I'll have to say I did bag a lot of Apples, and once more it felt like I was back at the Chick-fil-A drive through.  Something that I feel I have been doing better this week is reporting in area Book. There are times that I don't want to to do it, but when I'm done reporting I feel a lot better and I had fun when I did. Let that be a life lesson to you from me.  Also I apologize for skipping Monday, so I'll go back and talk about Monday. And no I will not edit it and put Monday before Tuesday.   Monday was a good P-day! We got together as a Zone and we ...

  Joy to the world! And all those that are on this email!   It had been a great week and I feel that so much has happened and I'll try to tell it to you, but y'all know how that goes.  To start of we picked up Elder Wallgren at transfers. Being in a trio is a lot of fun, and I look forward to seeing how this transfer will be. While at transfers I got to day goodbye to Elder Bevans. He has finished his two years and is headed back to Canada. I'm going to miss him.   The beginning of the week was challenging, but still great! Challenging because I could barely talk, and what I could say would hurt and no be very clear. Great because we just hit the ground running. We just started talking to members and anyone we saw. It was wonderful! We would share messages on gratitude, and I have noticed that the more I share about gratitude the more grateful I am. Also with Thanksgiving being this past week I had Thanksgiving dinner almost everyday. Members have also been...

  Hello Everyone!  This week was a lot better for many reasons! So let jump right in, but before I would like to day that I lost my voice again! Moving on now!  The beginning of the week was great and something that I very much needed. We had interviews with President. These are 15 minutes long and I always wish they were longer, and this time it was. How much longer?, you might ask. We'll chat. It was wonderful getting to talk with him about what I have been going through and the entire time I felt love and support. He is just the best and almost brought to tears again, but I fought them back and told him that he always brings me to the verge of tears and we laughed about it. From there I felt re-energized and ready to finish the week strong.  This week was better and I felt that I was able to rely on the enabling power of The Atonement of Jesus Christ. Anytime I felt overwhelmed and angry or any negative thought I would simply thing of these words, "The Atonement o...

  Hello All ye fair people of the land,  I feel that I don't have too much to report on for this week, so that is the end.  Love y'all   Jk,  I do feel that way but I'm great at filling time and talking so this is going to be a long one.  So yeah, lot of the same trials as last week, but we had some great moments. I'll start with my favorite day. We had exchange with the ZL's. It was a great day, and I love spending time with Elder Carrasqillo. I have gotten to know him for sometime seeing how he was the ZL in my last area. We had a great time getting along and we just started to go to work. We saw miracles as we would visited to members and talked to everyone. We found some wonderful people.  There was one person that Elder Carrasqillo talked to in Spanish, but thus person was on his out driving away in his car. He said that we could come back another day, and drove away. We realized that we hadn't taught him anything, but started to report right...

  Hello Everyone!  This week was another hard week, but there was still good to be found. There is always good to be found in the Lord's service.  I'll start off with the hard, since I fished with the hard moments in my last email. If you haven't read it yet, I invite you to do so. The hardest part about this week was the fact that I wasn't not feeling well. I was feeling great in anyway. I had lost my voice and couldn't speak, and that was really frustrating. I am here to talk and teach and to shout from the rooftops, but for a while I couldn't. Despite feeling overwhelmed and feeling down in the pit, I still saw the hand of the Lord in my life. While I was feeling that I way, I felt a greater need and love for the Scriptures and Prayer.  One of the ways that I was blessed was when I started to loose my voice. I prayed that I would have strength to say what needed to be said. God blessed me that day by giving me strength to speak. On that day we had a lesson wi...

  Hello Everyone!  Another week has passed by, and I'll be honest this week was hard, but there were still good moments.  I'm start off by saying I have had my fair share of Chili this week. Last week I thought I had a lot, but with both trunk or treats, and two other meals with Chili. I think I'm done with Chili for a little bit. Still loved all the the Chili, I would even go back for extra bowls.  I'll start off by talking about last P-day. It was calm and normal. We went over to the members house that we went to last week for the Chili Night, because they invited us over for dinner again. I'm sure you can guess what we had to eat. We were able to talk to a lot of wonderful people and get to know them better. We also played some games as we waited for dinner. Cornhole toss, and bobbing for apples. First time bobbing for apples, but I think I did a good job I didn't even get my hair wet. And yes I am proud of that, and how I got the Apple.  ...

  Hello Everyone!  This week has once again had ups and downs, but in the end we are up. I'll try and start from the beginning and see if I can remember from there, but y'all know how my memory is. When I'm talking to people and doing missionary work I feel my memory is pretty good, but as soon as I come to wrote about my week it all go blank. So if I make up somethings that didn't happen just know I blame my poor memory.  Last P-day:  We started off the day normal, when suddenly a dragon destroys our apartment complex. Elder White knew what we had to do. We got all dressed up, it only took us an hour, and we grabbed our copies of the Book of Mormon, and went to go face to Dragon. Turns our this Dragon had a large copy of a Bible, and we begin to bash this Dragon. Beams of light and truth flying everywhere, when we eventually turned to page 529. Then we read out loud and began to expound doctrine. When we fished the battle was won and our enemy became our friend...
