Well, it is cool you guys got a little bit of snow, it has been raining like crazy here. It is cool that dad got at job at Copper Mountain middle school and I hope mom gets her new job that she wants.
We had a baptism this week; it was an 11 year-old kid, his mom is a member. I really had nothing to do with him getting baptized, but it is cool to see baptisms.
We have a few investigators right now, but I think we are going to really start sectorizing, just so we aren't in buses the whole day running between lessons. Just so we can get more done in the day, mainly contacting.
The members in this ward are cool, and they are starting to give us references. Yesterday we did some visits with the elder's quorum. I think they wanted us to show them how to teach, and do visits because the ward wants to get better with home teaching and stuff.
Time is just flying by. I don't like it, it feels like every week is just going by faster and faster. I'm started to stress about going home, about what I'm going to study, where I'm going to study, where I'm going to work, and just stuff like that. I'm trying not to think about, but it just can't leave my head.
I have started reading Jesus the Christ and I love it, and I have learned so much. I really don't know why I didn't like reading before, because now I love it.
Life is going good, and I love you guys and hope you guys have a great week.
Elder Dallin Robertson is serving in the Quito Ecuador Mission as a full time missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Elder Robertson left on June 21, 2016 and will return sometime around June of 2018. Missionaries have a limited time to respond to all the E-mails and letters they receive so we will include here some of his letters home so that friends and family can keep up to date on how things are going for him and his ministry among the wonderful people of Ecaudor.

This week was good, the sector I am in is the biggest in the mission, it is crazy and huge. My comp is Elder Alanoca and he is cool, he is from Bolivia. We get along.
This sector is called Manantial, and I guess a lot of missionaries have ended their missions here. I will get my address next time, and a picture of my comp.
It has rained a lot this last week, it is raining right now, but the lighting is really cool. This week we were contacting and lightning hit really close to us and all the power went out and then turned back on, it was really weird but cool.
I think this will be a good last two changes. We just have to take a ton of buses, but there a few investigators here, and one should be baptized this week.
Sorry is didn't answer your questions from last time, but if you guys want to sing it is fine with me, but also I know that it is going to be crazy. I plan on buying a suit and making t-shirts, and buy a lot of other things, I don't plan on spending too much, but yeah. ;)
I don't think I'm going to get to trunky. If anything, I'm just sad, I don't want to leave, there are times I want to but most of the time I don't want to. This change I just can't believe how fast time is going
I love you guys and hope you have a nice week.

Well, we got changes and I'm going to some part of southern Quito, but I'm excited. Yeah, I think it will be my last comp and sector in the mission. I cant believe how fast time is going. But I'm excited for general conference, I can't wait for it.
It is cool Ellie got called on to the seminary council, I bet she will do great. It is good dad gets his stitches out. It is funny you guys had daylight saving, I don't know how I will feel to go home and have time changes twice a year.
This week was alright, today we made root beer floats, just because there is a restaurant here that sells root beer, so it is cool.
We didn't find anyone new this week just a lot of contacting. We had ward conference and our converts brought some friends so that was cool. The stake leaders talked to the ward council that they need to give us references, but since I'm leaving I want know if the ward will give them any.
I love you guys and hope you all have a great week.

This week not a lot happened. We have started finding some new people to teach, and some of our investigators are giving us references, so I hope they will progress. We found one guy and and he said he has been looking at a lot of churches but he feels like something is always missing, so it should be cool to teach him.
Also this week my comp lost his pants, we have no idea what happened to them but even his belt whet missing. We think at night he just threw them out the window without knowing, because we searched the whole house.
Changes are this week but I think I'm going to get changed to a different sector, I hope. I'm probably going to buy a suit soon, and a bunch of other things.
It is cool Ellie went to prom, I hope dad broke her date's hand.
Sorry this is short but I love you guys and hope you have a great week.

It is cool it finally starting to really snowing there, hopefully it will last until June, well it probably won't, but it could.
I got the pouch you guys sent so thanks, I love it. We made tacos today (with the seasoning packet you sent) and they were good.
Well, this week was good. We had zone conference and it was good, he talked a lot about revelation. I learned a lot.
We did divisions this week too, which were nice. I went to a different sector and we found two new investigators, and they were amazing. I just didn't like the part that they aren't in my sector, but it doesn't mater who teaches them just a long as they get the opportunity to receive the gospel.
Other than that, nothing happened this week, just rain and more rain but it has been getting a little colder so that has been good. I bet it has only dropped like one degree.
Life has been alright, just a little slow. I love you guys and hope you have a wonderful week.
