Week 53

Guess who's been out for a year?! It's me! Now I can start counting down instead of counting up! Haha Just kidding, what a great year. This mission has been the biggest blessing. I've changed so much, in good ways though! I promise I won't be a weird RM. :)

This past week was great! We had an exchange, I stayed on Mercer Island with Elder Mortensen. This is actually our second time going together, the first was way back in the Seattle Zone last winter. We had a grand ol' time! Lots of people approached us to talk! He was called Spanish speaking so the English class went a lot better with him there. We are handing it over to him permanently.

We mooched a free lunch off President! He asked us to reserve the Mercer Island building for the new missionary training. We said he could have it if he let us crash the meeting at lunch time. He agreed :)

We had a super solid lesson with C! He's a super cool dude. We're going to go take one of his crossfit classes and get jacked!

Hope you all had a great 4th of July!! We watched fireworks from our bedroom window, they don't let us missionaries go out and party, we bought an American flag though and hung it up! USA! USA! USA!

Here's a patriotic scripture! Ether 2:12 "Behold, this is a choice land, and whatsoever nation shall possess it shall be free from bondage, and from captivity, and from all other nations under heaven, if they will but serve the God of the land, who is Jesus Christ, who hath been manifested by the things which we have written."

Elder Robb
