Elder Connor Robertson Atlanta Georgia North Mission

  Hola y'all,  Before any of y'all say anything I am not breaking mission rules by sending this email out. Let's just say that this has been a long week. This week was long because our p-day was moved to today and Monday became a regular working day.   Honestly I don't remember what happened this past week but I do remember my transfer news. I found out that I am going to be a District Leader in Calhoun ! I'm also going to be white washing the area, which means I will have to get to know the area and the ward on my own along with my new missionary companion who will be new to being a missionary. So tomorrow I'm going to get a brand NEW missionary, in a New area, with New responsibilities, and a New Mission President**. I am excited but also very nervous because I'm going to do a whole new things that I'll have to learn how to do.   I think that Georgia knows that President Harris is leaving because it has been raining all week. Georgia isn't the only...

  Hello all ye fair people on the Earth,  This week was similar to past weeks. If you have forgotten what my past weeks have looked like, then you are more than welcome to read my last email.  We had some fun last week as a Zone where we played some fun sports. My favorite was beach volleyball. The down side to having so much fun is forgetting to apply sunscreen. The back of my calves are paying the price of fun.  I have loved going around to members homes and sharing the new church video on simple ways to love, share, and invite . Those we have shared it with have loved the message it contains, and we have had wonderful discussions on their missionary efforts we haven't heard before. Because of that we have been able to say thank you to the wonderful members. Everyone needs some one to simply say thanks. I know the difference that it makes in someone's life because it has helped mine.  We also had a interesting conversation with some one who was insistent that ...

  Good Morning, Disclaimer I might not get this out in time for it to still be Morning for you, but as of this moment it is the Morning.  This week was another good week, and I hope I can remember what happened.  I'll start with the last. That is the last interview that I had with President Harris. I have loved every minute I have spent listening to, and talking with him. There was a lot that I loved in our last interview and I'm grateful for the service that he has given here in Georgia. I won't forget the lessons he has taught me, and I'll continue learning from him while he is still here.  I will say I have loved my studies of the Book of Mormon this week. I loved learning about how the Book of Mormon answers the questions of the soul. I loved learning about the fulness of the Gospel with in it's pages. Through out the week I was able to take what I learned and to teach it to others. I love how much The Gospel helps people. Ultimately The Book of Mormon and Templ...

  Hello Everybody!  This was a crazy week, and I know that I won't be able to tell you all about the craziness. So if you finish reading this, and feel that it is not crazy. Then you are going to have to trust me.  Our week started off with Zone Conferences, and this was one of my favorite. The big elephant in the room was the fact that this was President and Sister Harris's last Zone Conference. President Harris addressed the Elephant and told him to leave. So we continue to learn and have fun. We learned about the Book of Mormon at Zone Conference. I loved it so much and learning about the great and marvelous work of God. As we learned, I saw the hand of the God blessing and bringing forth this wonderful Gift. Something that stood out to was how reality of how much we have because the Book of Mormon is true. Everything that I know and love today is because the Book of Mormon is the word of God along with the Holy Bible.  To had to the Craziness, my companion and my...

  Hello Everyone,  And it came to pass that the week Elder Robertson had was good. Many people were taught the Gospel. There was much more rain, thunder and even more rain.  I feel in this past week I have learned a lot. And this time I actually have time to tell you about it. Let's start off where I left off. After I had sent the email last week we had a lesson with Shayla and Christain. We taught about some of the commandments including the Word of Wisdom. I was unsure how Christain was going to take it, but I knew that Shayla would understand clearly and live it. To my amazement Christain didn't have as much of a problem with it. He too understood what was being taught and said we was going to live it. This past week we have seen them make changes in their lives to help them. They are noticing the changes and how much better they feel when they keep God's commandments.  After that we headed over to a missionary meeting. If your can't tell already, Monday was a lon...

 Hello Everyone,  I know what you are thinking and no I am not a day late for mother's day. EVERYDAY should be Mother's day, and that mean today too.  So much happened this week, but I don't have a lot of time to tell you everything. And that is because I just got back from our Mission P-day, more on that later.  The most exciting part about this week was that we had one of the AP's join us for two days in our area. The AP's are trying to hit every area in the mission on exchanges and they are able to do this because there are four AP's and not just two.  Exchanges was fun, and it was great seeing Elder Horne again.( he is the Ap and was my ZL a while ago) We talked to everyone and had a blast. One person we talked to didn't want to talk to us because it was her birthday so we just got to know her and be friendly. She was kind and gave us some hot hot dogs she was cooking. Side note I have no idea why the hot dogs were more red than a Georgia Bulldog fan, a...

  Hello Everyone, and happy Star Wars holidays!  Yes I say holidayS because everyone needs to know about Revenge of the 5th. Anyways moving on to what happed this week because you know I didn't have to celebrate the Star Wars days.  This was another good week, and quite a bit of it was running from lesson to lesson. Just like last week. I enjoy the business and we had a lot of fun. The downside to having a lot of lessons is that maybe half of them will fall through and then you a left wandering what to do for the next 30 minutes. Eventually we figured it out and we would still have a great day. And on the plus side we had a lot of lessons that did happen.  I can't remember if I wrote about this last week so if I write about it again I apologize. We have found that in our area we can call people that have previous been taught by other missionaries, and we can talk to them. They will talk back and we can share a quick message with them and then they say that we can com...
