Happy Halloween week and CONGRATS ON THE BOY ABBY!! Can't believe ANOTHER baby is in our family!! It's great! 

Monday was Halloween! We didn't do much because we are short on cars for all of the missionaries in the area to get places but whatever.  We got to go to a branch party at the branch president's house and we had a campfire!! Yay! 

Tuesday I went on trade-offs in Kalamazoo, it was a blast! We got to do service and check up on some referrals they had.  Also I had one of the best dinner appointments of my mission!  The fed us Ham Crepes and Ice-cream filled crepes and you know how I can pound the crepes.  Also the family was hilarious so I got to laugh really hard! 

Wednesday we went finding on campus like... all day, but we got 3 appointments for the next day which was way cool!!

Thursday we met with A, we first talked to him on Wednesday and his lesson was SO great! We asked him if he believed it was true and he said "Well I don't think it is a coincidence we met, I have been thinking about God a lot more recently"  He is so cool!! 

Friday we taught Y (From Three Rivers) She is legit!! She asks super great questions and is very interested! Also we taught a member referral who is super solid! Her name is S.  We celebrated the good lessons with Sushi on the 10th floor of a building so we ate with a nice view of Kalamazoo! 

Saturday the Elders had a baptism... (again, they are baptizing nations)  And H came!! Everybody loved her!! It was a great baptism as well! 

Sunday was good, although no one came to church... oh well.  I was kind of having a rough day and the lesson in relief society was about the "Forget me Not"  talk by Uctdorf and that was exactly what I needed to hear.

Anyway, that is about all, sometimes missions are hard, but it still is the best decision I have ever made. Plus any time I'm discouraged, I can be reminded that Christ has been there with me.  I am so grateful for him!

Fun fact:  The name Robertson means valiant! Proud to wear my families name everyday... even though I only share it with like half of you now... 

Some inspiring quotes and the view from the tower.

Also I forgot to mention, Saturday I got to speak at a member's funeral, it was super sad, but I am glad  I could help her family out.

Holy Ghost Party!

Hey family!! Can't believe it has been another week!! 

Monday we got to carve pumpkins with the branch... yay!! It was fun! 

Tuesday we had some solid lessons with R and J... R has no problem with the Word of Wisdom... yay!! ALSO...EW..... So we were walking around campus and we saw this guy with a Christian stand so we stopped to talk to him... just to be friendly and nice... and HE WAS A PUNK!! He started going off about how we are terrible people because we believe we can be like God and we tired to stop the convo and leave, but he kept going... THEN he told me I don't know Jesus... I was mad so I bore testimony and told him I hope he treats people in a Christ like way... man people are rude... maybe I am rude for venting about this.... Sorry..

Wednesday J CAME TO INSTITUTE!!! We didn't think she was coming and it was a FREEZING cold day and we were a little late and we walked in Drenched from the rain and cold but THERE SHE WAS!! #blessings! 

Thursday we had a GREAT lesson with E... right now he is my fav person to teach because he gets SOOOO  pumped about everything!! He took notes on the Plan of Salvation and in his prayer he said that we blew his mind.... HECK YAY!! He is awesome! 

Friday We had another great Plan of Salvation lesson with a lady from THREE RIVERS!!! Named Y!! It was sweet!! This week made me realize how I really take the Plan of Salvation for granted! It was awesome!! 

Saturday we were on campus and we found this WAY cool guy that we had actually talked to before, It was a super spiritual conversation and we set up a return appointment for the next day.  Also we got to go to the family ward Trunk or Treat!! yay!! It was awesome! 

Sunday was FANTASTIC!! So church was great... R came... Yay!! Also the guy from Saturday (O) We had a sweet lesson with! It was great!  Then the Elders in the Branch had a baptism that night and it was SOOO SPIRITUAL!! One of the coolest baptisms I have ever been to!! She was baptized by her boyfriend and she is just awesome....

Missionary work is the best!! Love you all! 

Fun fact: I had a dream that I got shot last night and I told Sister A that during studies and then the next scripture she said said "Thou shalt not fear death"... spooky!!
