Letter 7/22/11

Dear family, well another week already.  This one went by fast.  This week has been great, well lets get right in about our investigators.  Richard, we met with him twice this week.  He really remembers everything we teach him.  We read the Book of Mormon to him because he can't read and understand at the same time so we started him in 1 Nephi chapter 4.  We did that to grab his attention.  He liked it, loved the part were Nephi is commanded to cut off Labans head.  He wanted us to stay but we had to leave but before we left we had him pray.  He said he has never prayed before.  We taught him he said after the prayer he has never felt like that before.  That mad us very happy to hear.  We then went to Charline and Don Long.  They were doing horrible.  They lost one of their puppies and a close friend so they were really stressed out about that.  We asked if we could teach them to see if that would make them feel better but they didn't want to because they were sad.  While we were there Don's mom came over and talked to us.  Her husband is a preacher so that don't help any.  On Thursday night the Zone leaders came down and trained me on District meeting stuff. Elder Sexton & Pratt.  They are way cool cats.  We went on an exchange so me and Elder Sexton stayed here and Pratt and Henriquez went to Cleveland Tennessee.  It was great.  I like exchanges they are a really great help to learn how other missionaries do it.  There were a couple things I learned that helped me out a lot.  It has been great.  This P-day we just got back from Chattanooga Park from a zone activity.  We rode with the Zone Leaders down there.  We played frisbee.  Elder Crofts was also down there so we hung out as well.  That was my week it was great.  Well it sounds like y'all are doing great.  Be safe and remember why we are here.  Love Elder Robison
