Elder Tyler Robinson

Hey everyone! This week was awesome! Elder Uchtdorf and his wife visited our mission so I was able to hear him and his wife speak in German. I was also able to hear from the President of the Europe Area and his wife as well as my mission president and his wife-- It was SUPER awesome! The mission conference was held in the Frankfurt chapel so it was nice to be back in Frankfurt again. The Spirit was really strong in the building and it was really cool to hear from an Apostle of the Lord. All the missionaries were able to shake he and his wife's hand but I shook his AND got a hug from Elder Uchtdorf. I asked if I could take a selfie with him but he said "No" because that would mean that he would need to let everybody take a selfie-- so he offered to give me a big HUG instead!! It was awesome! I also went on a split so I spent the night in Idar-Oberstein which was cool. We have a better apartment then the zone leaders but it wasn't bad haha! So overall I have had an awesome week! Hope all is well back at home and I look forward to writing you next week!
