Dear family, well a lot has happened since the last letter if you could imagine.  Well I'm in a new area.  I'm in Pleasant Ridge North, basically Knoxville TN.  It is beautiful here.  The trees are all sorts of colors.  It reminds me of a movie.  Well I'm up here in a tri comp.  I'm training one fresh out of the MTC, Elder Guest.  he is from Oregon.  He is a cool kid the other Elder is tight too.  His name is Elder Harwood he is also pretty new he has been out for 3 months.  Well the work here is going like crazy.  When I got here the past Elders had 2 investigators with a date now we have 5 so we will definitely get some baptisms coming up.  The new Elder has already had some journal filling opportunities.  We ran into an old man that dresses like Elvis Presley and sang just like him.  He has black hair and big old chops.  The people are different here then in Dalton.  This area is a whole new mission for me.  It's huge and more like a city.  We definitely have been lost quite a bit.  It was pretty hard to leave Dalton.  My last day there we had 7 dinner appointments with the Griggs, Charley, Finily's, Keyaundra, Degollado's, Delacruz's and the Cox.  Well we cancelled 4 of them and kept 3.  We went out with Keyaundra then over to Delecruz.  Sister Delacruz is such a sweet lady.  She bought me a really nice hat and told me she loved me.  She told us that she has been trying to go to the temple for years.  Well she went 3 weeks ago.  She said we helped her out more than ever.  I kind of teared up.  She is a great lady.  After that I went and packed then that night we went to the Degollado's.  They fed us, their new rule is all the missionaries that leave have to be tazed.  So I was tazed but I got to taze all of them too.  Well when I left there Victor got me a shirt then we left.  These people turned in to pretty good friends all the people from Dalton.  So everything is going well.  The time is flying and the works good.  Sorry I have not got a letter out quicker.  We live in the basement of a members house.  It is pretty cool.  Well I will write y'all in a couple days so no worries.  So be safe have fun Love Elder Robison


ANOTHER LETTER that Alli received this week
This was a first for Elder Guest to go tracting he did great.  It's kind of weird because I'm the only one that speaks Spanish and when we knock into hispanics I'm the only one who speaks.  My spanish has definitely got a boost of help from up above.  I really like the guys I'm serving with.  We knocked into a girl today that was all tatted up and pierced up.  She said she was Satanist.  Elder Guest did not know what to say so I took over and was like really well that's cool and then she was really nice to us and invited us back.  Well my second night here and something interesting happened.  Well I was sleeping on an air mattress because there is 3 of us.  Well to make the story short Harwood had a box of candy by my head.  Well this past month I wake up at 5:30 every morning for some unknown reason.  Well I was sitting there listening to everything and I heard something in the box of candy and it was chewing on something.  Well I knew it was a rat so I was going to get up fast and turn the lights on to get it.  Well I jump up and the air mattress threw me off balance and I fell and then I got the light on.  The new missionary his eyes where so huge and he looked at me like he had no clue what was going on at 6 in the morning.  Well I go over there and the rat was gone so it was a pretty interesting morning but really funny.
