Dear family, this week has been great. Well to start everything off we had a bi-zone conference. Where 2 of our zones got together and an area seventy came. His name was Elder Haleck. He was a very good speaker and gave everyone that boost of energy everyone needed. It was a great day. Well our companionship is on fire right now. We have been reaching our goals and stretching out and getting baptism dates. Jeff is still on for his date he is doing solid. He just needs to quit smoking. We have also been teaching this older lady, Gloria, she is a sweet heart. Well when we go over there her friend Vivian is there. She is a nice lady as well. Gloria cancelled on us one day for good reasons so we decided to call up Vivian. She told us to come on over. We went over there with a member. Elder Harwood went on a split with another member so it was Guest and I. We taught her the Plan of Salvation. She loved it. Well she asked some questions about the priesthood. She asked if other churches had the priesthood. Well the member told her boldly that the other churches did not have the Priesthood. He also told her they were false. Well her face looked shocked so I explained it to her nicely then committed her for December 10th. She accepted and was so excited. She has told everyone and she can't wait for church. We are excited for her. We had lunch with her today. We are going over to Sister Brown's to have lunch and a lesson. Well everything is going great over here and the work pressing forward. Everyone keep praying for Vivian. She will get baptized. We found out today that Elder Guest is leaving this Wednesday. He is a great Elder. I'm going to miss him not being around. Well tonight was interesting we went over too a less active house to teach them a short lesson. They offered us a drink. This drink was made out of pineapple skin. Well we drank it and after we all left we felt a little funny. We think there was a little alcohol in it. It must have fermented or something.
This has been a great time up here in Pleasant Ridge the people are great and willing to work. The people we live with are great help as well. The Nichol's took us out to dinner tonight. We had a great time. We went to a Chinese buffet. They are close friends with the owners there. Sister Nichol's is so sweet. She knows a whole bunch of languages. Her first language is Chinese. She spoke it quite a bit tonight. She also is helping us with our diet's she uses a lot of nut's, herbs, and a whole bunch of Chinese food. I'm excited to try this out. She also makes a lot of tea. She showed us the stuff that is good for you.
Well I just looked in this tablet and found this letter I forgot to send so I figured I will keep writing. Some more events that have went on this past week. Well we moved Vivian's date up to November 30th. She is excited and ready. She went with us to a baptism tonight. She really enjoyed it and felt the spirit. The spirit was strong and great. We have also been working with Vivian's friend Gloria. She is the old 75 year old lady who is a sweet heart but really busy with her autistic grandson so I understand. She will be getting prepared for baptism soon. The field is white and ready to harvest so the work is still moving along. We'll y'all take it easy and love y'all. Elder Robison
PS I forgot to tell you about Thanksgiving. It was great we went over to Jim Reynolds ex wife house. She is a great cook. It was the best food I've ever had for Thanksgiving. I was so full leaving there and then 2 hours later we had another appointment with the Richmans. It was a great day.
Alli's letter
Well this week has been so awesome!!:) I will first start off with all the good churchy stuff. Well we had a great Turkey day. We had an all day Pday which was sweet because we woke up and went and played in the turkey bowl. There was about 60-80 people there so we had 7 on 7 per team. Well my team kicked trash. I had 10 touchdowns. We ended up losing our last game because the other team recruited people off another team. So we lost by 2 touch downs. Than for the rest of that day we went to a members house which she was an excellent cook. I over ate. Then after that whole night we went over the the other elders apartment and played cards there was 4 sets of Elders and 1 set of sisters. We had a lot of fun.
