| This past week has been full of finding and many small miracles. A big miracle that happened is that I'm still alive to see my 19th birthday haha. This past week the Lord has really blessed both Elder McElmurry and I a ton, in our companionship and also personally. One scripture from the Book of Mormon that has helped me greatly this past week says this. 23 And now I would that ye should be humble, and be submissive and gentle; easy to be entreated; full of patience and long-suffering; being temperate in all things; being diligent in keeping the commandments of God at all times; asking for whatsoever things ye stand in need, both spiritual and temporal; always returning thanks unto God for whatsoever things ye do receive. |

I love this because it helps me to realize how much more I have to grow and learn. The only person to achieve all of these attributes is the Savior and he is our perfect example. He will help us to learn and grow so that one day we may become like him.
This week we put forth a lot of effort into finding new people. Because of this, the Lord blessed us a lot. We were able to find a new investigator everyday of this week and teach many lessons also. Our recent convert LaTasha is doing great. We are currently preparing her to go to the temple so she may do baptisms for the dead and feel the spirit of God there in the temple. It still amazes me how much the Savior can help us to overcome and how much he has helped LaTasha overcome in such a short period of time. The prophet Nephi says let us remember him and not hang down our heads for we are not cast off. God loves each and everyone of us so much and will never shun us or push us away but has an everlasting love no matter how many wrongs we have done.
A few funny things happened this week. We had an old man tell us about all of the girls that his corvette attracts. We had a lady yell at us saying that she was grouchy then walked away. We are working with someone who randomly messaged us and asked us if it was a sin to take off work. I shot Elder McElmurry with some silly string so today he drenched me with the hose as we were washing the car. Overall it has been a very productive week filled with success and many more blessings. God is so good. -Elder Robbins
