New experiences for a new transfer June 26, 2023

 Wow everyone,  

Wow. I don't think there anything that I need to say about this week other than wow. But because I know y'all look forward to this email, I will put a little more effort in telling y'all about the wow week. 

After I sent out my email from last week, I had my last Bible study in Monroe. It was sad to say goodbye to the absolutely wonderful people that I had come to love and call family. It was especially hard to say goodbye to the Crowthers, because at this point they are family. 

The next morning I woke up and finished packing and head to the mission office to meet my brand new companion, and goodbye to my Mission President. There was a lot going on that day with talking to past companions and getting everything figured out for this new transfer. While saying goodbye to President Harris he told me that he was thinking, "Elder Robertson is ready, and if he isn't then I won't be around to worry about it. We had a good laugh and heart to heart. I love and will miss President Harris. The rest of our day was traveling back to our area and weekly planning. 

It was hard to weekly plan in an area that I was white washing with my brand new missionary. Also the area used to be a Spanish area. But we replaced the Spanish Elders and now the area is now English. These past couple of days have been great and stressful. There is so many new things about this transfer, and I am becoming stressed. Nevertheless, I know in whom I have trusted and he has never let me down. I have been praying harder, and the scriptures have been speaking directly to my situation. I feel joy in the work, and I am not turning away from it. 

We had a great time meeting the members at church and trying to get to know them and set up times we can visit them. I love the members here in Calhoun. In a couple of days I have felt their love and they are so missionary minded. I look forward to this transfer! 

As I have said before this is a new, stressful transfer, but on the day of Transfers I wasn't as stressed out as I thought I would be. The spirit calmed and comforted me. I felt a desire to do the Lord's work because that is what makes me happy. The time is now, that I must continue to elevate. I know through Christ I can do it, because that is what He can do. He can take a stressed out missionary, a child of God, and perfect him into someone stronger. Jesus Christ can help me become more like Him, and He can help you to. I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ Amen.
