Dear family, well I decided to write a little bit before we head out to Sister Burns again. She is the lady that fed us some of the best southern food I have ever eaten so I'm excited as of right now. This past week has been great, I can't remember if I told you but we had 18 people as a district to church. It has been great to see them there. Nine of those people were our investigators so we are really happy. We have had great success with Alfredo. We are now going to start to teach his wife. We talked to her after church. She said she really enjoyed it she also said her daughter is looking for a new church. We are hoping for a chain reaction with them. Hopefully we can get them to the font as soon as possible. They need it. We also have a new investigator his name is Nick. He is 17 years old and is a nephew to sister Annette Martin. She is taking care of him. I want to see him baptized before I leave or at least I think I'm leaving. I've been here 6 months so I would think I'm leaving but who knows. I kind of want to leave to go experience the mission a little bit at the same time I want to stay because I like this area a lot. I love the people here especially the ward members here so it will be hard to leave. I have really gotten to know a lot of people. Well it has been a couple days I forgot to send this letter so I have a little more information. Lets start off with Nick Martin he is 17 years old. His grandma is a less active member that we have not visited for awhile so we just stopped to say hi. We started talking to Nick for a little while. I asked him if he had ever been baptized before. He said no so we immediately started teaching him and then this last Sunday he came to church. We gave him a hard commitment for baptism and he accepted. August 9th at 6:00 he will be baptized. We are excited and thankful. Well it has already been another great start for this week. We have a date and it seems like everyone wants to feed us because they think one of us is leaving. There is a good chance it is me. We have a dinner appointment every night until we are transferred. Last night we had the Griggs they are a great family. They have 4 boys and the oldest is 10 years old. For the spiritual thought we made and played jeopardy. They liked it and wanted us to come back over this Friday but we have Sister Burns and she is the best cook in the state so we told them we probably couldn't make it. Since everyone is feeding us I put some pounds on and so has Elder Henriquez so this isn't good but I will just have to start to skip dessert. C-ya all later you guys have a good week. Well it is good to hear that I am going to be an uncle (Matt and Kandice) Congrats on that so you guys better teach it my name at least so it will kind of know me a little bit.
Love Elder Robison
