Elder Connor Robertson Atlanta Georgia North Mission

  Hello Everyone,  How is it the another Transfer is starting? I honestly want to know how time goes by so fast. If you do have an answer please write me, I am curious to hear what crazy explanation you have for this.  This week has been crazy, and I think I remember most of what happened this past week, but we will see.  I'll start off with Transfer news!  I'm staying and getting Elder Winters, and sadly Elder Kartchner is leaving me. He will be missed.  Something that I am grateful for is how the Gospel brings comfort to my life and to those that we teach. This is something that was reminded to me this past week as some friends of ours needed comfort. I know I can't give comfort to them but Christ can and does!  We had exchanges this past week and that was interesting. Probably the most interesting part was the Elder I was with has the same first name as me, and that was a first for me but it didn't affect any part of our day. While on exch...

  Hello Everyone,  I hope that this one makes up for last week's. Just know I am writing this a whole lot sooner. We'll see if it is actually good.  1.)This week was crazy fun, 2.)This week was overwhelming, 3.)This week was hard, 4.)This week was amazing,  1-4 all apply to the week that I have, and I couldn't decide how to start this weekly. Y'all get to decide instead.   I don't even know where to begin, I barely know what it happening in my area. I went on not one but two exchanges. Both times were out of my area. I had a fun time on exchanges and it had been a while since I have been on one. On both exchanges I learned how I could do better at being more energetic as I do the Lord's work when I don't feel as motivated. I'm doing okay at it, but I need to Elevate!  The times that I was on exchanges we would be going none stop between friends and members talking to everyone along the way. I love talking to everyone and meeting people that are friendl...

  Hello Everyone!  This week was great. The end  Sincerely Elder Robertson   Jk  But this one will be short because I'm running out of time as always.  This week we had a lot of lessons and miracles. I am always in amazement on how God can provide so many miracles. Elder Osmond was with us for the first part of the week and then we dropped him off, but before we did we had some great lessons.  We had one of our friends tell us that he was ready to go to church before we asked him.  We taught some amazing first lessons right after that. Teaching the message of the restoration will never get old. The more I do it the more I love it.  We had a special guest on our GANM Devotional. Elder McKay joined us and gave us a lot wisdom. Probably my favorite is how he talked about how important it is to journal. Which sounds weird after first but the way he explained it was perfect. And now I see more as an act of faith.   We had a wonderfu...

Hello there,  And it came to pass that in the last week of February and the beginning of March passed away in awesomeness.  A lot happened this week and not a whole lot at the same time. It's hard to explain so I won't, but what I said is true. So let's see if I remembered anything that happened.    We started off our week great with Zone Conference. There was a lot spiritual learning experiences and fun. Some of the take aways that I got was how beautifully simple the Gospel of Jesus Christ is. The doctrine of Christ teaches us how we can tap into the power of the Atonement of Jesus Christ. He want to help and heal us and the way He does that is giving us the Gospel that we can live by. I have seen how the Gospel changes lives and is the path towards our divine potential.  I also had a fun conversation with President Harris over lunch. Apparently he isn't as big of a fan of snow as I am, but it is good because Georgia is heaven to him.  That nigh...

  Hello Everyone!  Once again it has been a crazy week and this next week it will be even crazier.  I guess this week I'll start at the beginning of the week instead of going out of order. That way everyone can follow along, and I can make more sense. (Although I still won't make a whole lot of sense because I'm me)  Last week we had a Zone p-day, and we played a lot of volleyball and all the usual stuff. Then some how we had a game of catch turn into a competition of who could through the Frisbee in the basketball hoop. That was fun and I'm glad that we got so many Elders involved as time passed.  Before we had our Zone meeting we had a gotten a call from a member. When we answered all we heard was silence. Then we heard some faint yelling. We asked what was going on but we heard nothing. So we called her husband to find out what was going on. She was having some night terrors in her sleep, so we went over that night to give her a blessing. It was hard to hear ...

  Hello Everyone!  Well it has been a crazy, fun, and great week. With it being the first week of the Transfer that means that everything is a blur and it will take me a while to remember what actually happened.   Let's start at the beginning.....  I am now in Monroe , which is another boonies area. I live in a loft apartment in the middle of downtown. It is a blessing for many reasons, one is that every time we leave the apartment we are hit with the smell of fresh Tacos. That's because there is a Mexican restaurant right next to our apartment, which also happens to be where we park our car. Now then I could talk about the town and the apartment forever, but that's not why y'all are here, so I'll move on.  My very first night here was youth night, so I got to met a lot of youth and I don't remember any of their names. Aren't I off to a great start? We played a game of them that was very similar to the last youth game I was apart of except this fe...
