Elder Connor Robertson Atlanta Georgia North Mission

  Hello Everyone!  This week has been a lot of fun, filled with miracles. I'm trying to think of some fun way to start of this email, but right now I don't have anything.  *INSERT FUN RIGHT HERE*  ( note to self put something fun above, and don't leave it as it is now. That would be embarrassing if you sent that out)  We are continuing to focus on miracles, and the start on this week there was a big miracle. We got a call from someone that referred himself online. He said that he had done a lot of research, and wanted to meet with the Missionaries. He said that he wanted to grow his Connection with God, and wanted to join The Church of Jesus Christ of latter-day saints. We where so excited and asked if he could meet tomorrow and he said yes. We had an awesome lesson with him where he did do a lot of research and most was right. At the end we asked if he would pray to know that The Book of Mormon is true and that Joseph Smith was a prophet and he said that he kno...

  Hello Everyone!  It has been a fun and crazy week! Normally I wouldn't know where to start, but I think I'll start at the beginning. That way somethings make sense latter on.  I have a new companion, Elder Moss! He is awesome, and better than that he is a also a redhead! We ended up getting to know each other well because we spend a lot of time driving. Also you read that right, "a companion". We were supposed to get a brand new companion that we could train, that way we would be in a Trio. However as soon as I got to mission office, where we do transfers, I was told that there was a mistake. Apparently Elder Moss and I would not be Training. Sad time, don't know what entirely happened, but I'm grateful for being comforted by the Holy Ghost. Had I started training I would have been ready.  This week was pretty hard and stressful, but looking back I can see how God helped me through it all. Taking over your area is a challenge. I didn't really understand ...

  Hello Everybody,  I know you are all wanting to know what T.T.T.T. stands for. It is not The O.W.C.A (Organization Without a Cool Acronym). T.T.T.T is the news that I received for this next week. It stands for Third Transfer Trio Training. So we got a call last night with our transfer news for what will be the start of my Third transfer in the field. They said that I would be will Elder Moss, who is also a redhead so we have the Ginger power. And on top of that we were going to be in a Trio with a new missionary who we will be teaching him how to do missionaries things. Hope that he will be a redhead too so we can be unstoppable.  With finding out all that news I received an answer from God. A few weeks ago we had our mission President interviews. Where he sees how we are doing and helps us with things we are going through. Towards the end he asked me a loaded question. " How do you feel about Training?" I felt excited but also extremely nervous because I don't feel tha...

  Hello Everyone!  What a week it has been. You would think that the fun would run out, but it never does. The biggest highlight was definitely Easter! There was so that happened and I don't have enough time to say everything. So I'll focus on the highlights. Easter was not just on Sunday, for me it has been this entire week! So I will be starting there for this week.  Our entire mission area has been working with the Wards that we are serving in to invite 125 people to Easter. It was a special time to invite all to come to Christ. My companion and I wanted to go all in on Easter, so we went to work. We invited every single member of our branch to invite 2 people. If everyone did we would pass our goal of 125. When ever we got the chance we would invite the members and ask who they planned on inviting. It was amazing seeing them get behind this because everyone was thinking of a friend that they could have come. We also told the youth that I they had invited a friend by W...

  Hello Everyone,  Hope that title didn't alarm you, and if it don't worry I still have all 9 of my...….. 10 of my fingers. We were at a members house having dinner when I went to go wash my hands and I feel this- something biting my ankle. It was their big guard dog, and the the way I responded was the title above. Don't ask me why I responded first with that it just happened. Don't worry though tis but a scratch, and a little  bruising. I'm fine now, yes everything is fine, we are fine. There is no need for reinforcements, how are you? (Hope I said the general quote, and hope that you got the quote)  Man this week is hard to remember. I remember doing things and working hard but I'm pretty this week blurs together into one day.  Hang in with me while I try and piece together what happened this week.   So Monday was a thing, moving on. Just kidding it was a cool P-day spending it with the other Elders. And my favorite part was when I got my copy of t...

  Hello There,  So many of you know this, but I had a birthday last week, and it was awesome. Thank you all for your heart felt words, they touched my soul and made me remember all the good times that I had before my mission. The gifts were also amazing, thank you. I think I have reach the point in my life where I care more about the cards and the words in them. Thank you all once again, and a special thanks to my loving Mother who always works hard to make sure that I have a special Birthday. She is always successful!   This week was awesome, I probably say that about every week but it is even more true this week. So much happened that I'll probably leave out some of the good stuff. Not intentional that is just the way the cookie crumbles.  So this week we were able to have our first FHE meeting ( Family Home Evening ). It was awesome because of many reasons. We were able to have a couple Branch families there to get to know each other, and have a good time. We...

  Hello Everyone!  How are you?  Yeah me too, this week of been busy.  Have you notice how time flies when you are having fun? Yeah me too, it's a blast some much fun and not a lot of time to tell it all. I'm one week older and wiser too, and I feel that this has been absolutely fantastic, and I don't know where to start. So I will not start from the beginning. It will be in the Middle.  On Wednesday we got to go to the Georgia Atlanta Temple , and loved it. Going to the Temple always brings peace and comfort into my life and love to see how all the Temple look different but feel the same. It truly is the best place on Earth. For all those that are close by please go to the Temple even if all you do is look at it from the outside.  There is beauty there that can not be described, only felt. That feeling is a feeling that last with you for all of eternity. After the Temple I got a chance to hang out with the Zone with a lot of new faces. We played some ...
