Dear family well this week we have been waiting to see who is leaving. I'm finally leaving and everyone else is staying the same. I will be training again so we'll see who I get this Wednesday. Well this week our District had the opportunity to see the power of fasting. We fasted as a zone and it is truly a miracle how strong it was. We fasted for baptisms. The mission has been struggling for baptisms. Last month our mission had 6 total and only one in our zone. Well after our fast the other Elders in our District committed 2 unsuspected investigators for baptism. The next day the sisters committed 2 as well. Our district is doing great. For Elder Crofts and I we are planning on committing Henry for baptism so this fast has helped us out a lot. Well this past week has been very spiritual for me. We had some great lessons with some investigators. One great experience we had was when Sister Black had called and asked us to come over to give her son a blessing. His name Christ. He reminds me of Casey Lance. We talked to him for awhile and I talked to him about hunting. He is 24 and is deciding to go on a mission but is having a hard time because he does not want to leave his mom because I guess her relationship with her husband is rocky right now. We got to share our testimonies and had a very good night. He asked me to give him a blessing so I did and he gave me a hug which was weird because I don't know him to well but he was crying and the spirit was strong. Well at church it was a little hard to say good bye. It felt like I was leaving home again. The members here are great. I will miss them all and would like to come back one day. Right now I am about to go pack and it's going to be weird because I've been in this apartment for 9 months. I have stuff everywhere. This is going to be different training this time because we will be white washing an area which means we won't know anyone including the members. I'm excited though to see who I get and where I go. I love y'all and will write you more later but I will have a new address soon. Love Elder Robison
PS... I think Brenan ended up being in Fountain City which is in Northern Knoxville. I think his companion is an Elder Harwood and they also have a visa waiter who is going to Brazil. I got this info from my friends in Dalton so I guess we'll know more on Monday when he emails.
