Simply a good week

This might have been the best week on my mission for the work because we have 4 people on date! We might have 4 more around the corner but it's just awesome having people that want to make these changes. The four that we are working with are all part member families and we love seeing families grow closer as a result. I love how the gospel can strengthen families now and forever! 
It's strange because it seems like the greater success we have with few people, the greater opposition we have wnmhen finding new people. We're still finding a lot of people regardless. Our time spent talking to people has been exceedingly productive and we shall soon see the result of bringing people to Christ. 
This week was Zone conference as well and that was Amazing! Since there were so many new missionaries they went to the basics and simplified everything. It was great to have that refresher and recieve more inspiration from that. We talked a lot about how the Book of Mormon truely is a tool of the Harvest. It will be one of the most vital defences against Satan and his traps. We also learned that we can "Shake the very powers of Hell" just like Captain Moroni. If all men were like him, Satan would have no power over us. I encourage those that haven't studied his attitudes to do so and see how that can help everyone. 
Something that really stood out to me this week was the firm testimony of members. There are many members here that have endured much hardship because of their belief. Many have had family members cut all ties from them and they haven't seen them for years. It's sad to see the power Satan does have over us to deceive us. That's why it's so important that we don't get casual in our day to day lives. One member has seen connections through the people in her life be strengthened so much. Her kind actions have had huge impacts on others because of simple acts of kindness. She has been given a gift of seeing how her kind actions have helped people find the gospel and it's so simple for her to see it.
I really hope everyone enjoyed their 3 day weekend while it lasts!
Sincerely,
Elder Robertson
