Letter 2/17/11

Dear family, the time has come and only 1 more week in the MTC.  I'm excited but at the same time a little nervous.  I finely have received my travel plans this wee.  I leave the 22nd for sure.  I leave the MTC at 4:00 a.m., leave Salt Lake at 7:05 a.m. then we go to Atlanta.  We get in Atlanta at 12:41 and leave at 1:50 p.m.  We go to strait to Knoxville at 2:43 p.m.  Hopefully I have time to call you guys maybe in the morning and around 1:00 or so.  Maybe you will get a call.  I havae not decided yet, haha J/K  This week has flown by so fast and all of my TRC's and stuff are over.  That will make this even better.  This week has not been too bad.  First just same old same old.  Then I figured out that I am able to play basketball again so that made my week.  Next thing you need to know.  Yesterday we went to the fireside and fell asleep for the first time during the prayer and woke up 15 minutes later and I had drooled all over the place.  When I woke up 100's of kids were looking at me.  I'm not going to lie I was a little embarrassed.  Oh well.  The next big thing that has happened this week.  On our way to the temple.  There were 3 natives to the language, so in other words Mexicans.  They were way chill.  I just walked up to them and started talking to them in Spanish.  They had served a mission and spoke both english and spanish.  We had a conversation for about 15 minutes and he helped me with some spanish.  It went well.  We just talked about his mission and mine.  He told me my Spanish is good for 8 weeks.  I think he was just being nice.  I'm really excited to get out of here.  Pretty soon I will be counting down the hours because the time goes by so fast.  I'm doing good and still alive so you guys be safe and keep in touch.  Love Elder Robison
