What a week!

This last Sunday we were blessed to have the quorum of the 12 here! Quentin L. Cook spoke to us about the 4 most important relationships for us as missionaries. 

1. Love your companion - it is important for us to love our companions, even the things that are different about them. I have learned in the last few weeks to love Elder Sharp, even though we sometimes have different thoughts. we are always able to meet in the middle and work well together when we listen to the other person.

2. Love the people - Obviously I haven't met "my people" yet, but something he did say that I know is true, is that the love you feel for them stays with you forever. I know this is true because of the love that my family has for the Japanese culture since mom and dad both served there! 

3. Love your Mission president and his wife - an interesting point he made about this was that sometimes we aren't necessarily assign to a mission, but to our mission president. so we can help them or they can bless us

4. Love Jesus Christ - This is obviously the most important love to have. If we love Jesus Christ, we are able to love his children the way he loves them too. we need to see the Saviors atonement at work in their lives. 

every sunday and tuesday we have choir practice. I'm not much of a singer, but the choir director is so funny and so smart. as we sing the songs, he tells us the real story about how and when the song was written or what its about. It is so cool to learn about the music! for anyone getting ready to come to the MTC, definitely don't miss choir practice! 

(sorry mom) more hospital fun! so on Tuesday I went back into the doctor here at the MTC for my knee, and he decided to have me go to a sports medicine doctor or something like that. my knee seems to have good days and bad days. he thinks its something called PFS or something. (apparently I dont get a PhD when I get to the MTC) so on thursday, Elder Sharp and I got in a shuttle and drove down the street to the hospital where the doctor looked at it. he said that everything on my knee seems fine aside from one spot which is where my miniscus (spelling?) is at. so if things go well, the pain goes away and I'm all good. but if things go bad/as they currently are, I might end up getting on MRI on my good old knee. I am going to go check up with the doctor here at the mtc on July 9th! 

One of the best parts of my week was when we were sitting in the hospital waiting room. Some people came and spoke to us about our missions which was really cool. One lady who was in a wheelchair came over to us and asked if we spoke spanish, and we replied with "Si! un poco!" and she then bore her testimony to us about missionary work and how grateful she was for our sacrifice, all in spanish! it was so so cool! 

also I got a haircut.

Love,

Elder Roberts 

Late addition!

This here is Elder G (he has a weird last name and I dont know how to spell it) last night we found some left over crutches in our residence hall and he was playing around with them for a little bit, it was real fun! he had a great idea to try doing the good old wheelbarrow thing where someone picks up your legs and you run on your hands, but instead of using his hands he would use the crutches! so I ran over, grabbed his feet and he instantly fell hurt his wrist a little bit. well. this morning I saw this cute little brace on his arm and he said "Yeah! so I tried going to bed last night but it kept on swelling and hurting worse and worse, so I called the front desk, and went to the MTC clinic where they gave me this brace!" he says nothing is broken, Just a sprain of some sort. its a good thing we are really good buddies! he just keeps shrugging it off like its nothing!
