Kissing & ONE YEAR

By -
This week was good!! Just keeping on keeping on. There isnt as much to tell this week that was different from last. Lucia and Melany´s baptism is this upcoming weekend which we are really excited for!! They are still progressing great and Reading the scriptures daily and everything. Pray for them that they wont have challenges this week before the baptism but that they can continue to see the blessings and strengthen the testimonies they have developed in the restored góspel.

Excuse the random accents in things... the computer just does it sometimes and I am too lazy to erase and fix it every time.

I have a question... how do we greet people there? Because I have gotten accustomed to kissing everyone on the cheek now and I cant remember for the life of me how we greet before there. I mean clearly we hug those we are really close too.. but like everyone else... do we just like walk up to eachother and stop and then like... wave and say hi? Lets talk about culture shock in reverse. Its gonna be an awkward first sundayback in the states.

Speaking of, but not really cause I still have lots of time left here in the mission.... I COMPLETED A YEAR THIS WEEK!! Where is the time going??

Also, i recieved all the letters the ward has sent me!! They arrived a few weeks ago because sometimes I get so excited while writing about the people we are teaching that I forgot to mention other details. thank you for everyone who took the time to write me a letter and share experiences with me!! Means a lot!!

I love you all very very much!! Have a great week and go visit an inactive member!! Or open your mouth to teach a non-member. They need the hope that comes from the knowledge and the covenants in the restored góspel. YOU know about it... now TELL EVERYONE ELSE!!

Con mucho amor,
Hermana Roberts

HAPPY FATHERS DAY TO MY FAVORITE DAD :)) You and mom really are the BIGGEST blessings in my life. Thank you for everything you have done and sacrificed for me, and continue to do.

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!! (in Mexico.. clearly)

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!! (in Mexico.. clearly) Well what a week... it unfortunately was not very successful... haha but because I took a suprise trip to Saltillo in the middle of the week.... ALONE!!! We were studying one morning and I was getting all pumped to get out and start working and I was feeling good and we had great plans for the day when all of a sudden the mission office calls and told me I had to take care of stuff for my Visa and come to Saltillo.. in like 2 hours. So yeah, and they sent me alone. So this week I conquered the fear of traveling through Mexico as an American muchacha who is still learning spanish... alone. But hey, I did it, and nothing bad happened. And I even got to Saltillo and got a taxi and traveled through the city and made phone calls (in spanish thank you) and got things taken care of. BAM! Clearly they trust me or something because apparently that never happens (sending a sister without her companion... none the less a American ne...

Travelling Sister

I dont really know how to start my letters anymore cause I always say the same thing haha... entonces... Hola Family!! Mmm not too much to report. Just working and trying to stay awake in the lessons in this heat. Haha mostly exaggerating but after lunch in this heat... listening to someone tell you a really long story... it gets hard, ya know? I only work about half the time in my own area now. We go on splits twice a week and the are each for about a day and a half so it gets kind of crazy sometimes. I have been leaving to work in the other sister´s area every time because I still dont know our own area well enough to direct it with someone how does know it at all, so I have basically been a traveling missionary. I love working with Hna. Walsh and we are a good team, just sad we are only together like half the time haha. But its been a good experience to get to know other sisters and try to help them improve and find what is keeping them from having more success.  A...

Rosi & Fransisco

Hello hello!! This week we saw our new investigators, Rosi and Fransisco  on Monday  night and challenged them to be baptized with a specific date. They.... turned it down... hahaha but only because its for like a week from now. They have to have 5 weeks in church before they can be baptized, but they already had a few in the states, so we went ahead and challenged them. They said they want to be baptized, but they want to learn more first and everything and 2 weeks didnt seem sufficient haha. I couldnt blame them. We didnt get to seem them again during the week (they are VERY busy for an elderly couple) and unfortunately they didnt make it to church  on Sunday  which was basically devestating, right? But we passed by in the evening to see why they didnt go, and they werent home. Their adult son greeted us and let us know that they suddenly had to take a trip to Monterrey and he was their caring for their house. So we´ll see whats up. But they are super cute....
