Letter 4/12/12

Dear family, hey how is everything going back in good old Idaho.  Thanks so much for the package and tie.  I received a lot of compliments at church so I gave all the credit to my mom.  From the pics it looks like everything is going well.  The baby is getting super chunky so I'm guessing that means her mom takes good care of her, also the pictures of the planes in formation.  That was great but you could definitely tell dad is kind of a chicken when he is in back of formation 100 yards behind every one else.  He'll learn no problem especially when I get back to teach him how to do it.  Well everything is going well.  This Thursday Jeremy is getting baptized.  He is the guy who came up to me in Walmart.  The sisters have been teaching him because he lives in their area.  That is great because he has truly found his answers.  Well a lot has also been happening in our area.  This last Sunday Marcos Rivas came with us to church.  He is a very cool guy especially because he is from Cuba.  His accent is so strong and almost impossible to understand so hopefully I'll get better at understanding him.  Well Gloria bailed on us again.  It feels impossible to get her to church but one day she will get there.  This past week I was able to go on exchange with Elder Neubert my MTC companion.  Wow he has grown up a lot.  He is a great missionary.  We had some fun experiences with this guy named Chris.  He is a guy they met on the street.  He wrote 2 books about the Book of Mormon and just Mormons in general.  He was a little crazy.  We also went over to a members house to do some service, The Buresses.  Brother Burress looked at me then my badge then at me again.  He then asked if I was from Idaho.  I told him yes.  He asked me if I knew a Ricky Robison.  I told him yes.  He went inside real quick and grabbed his mission album and showed me a picture of Uncle Rick.  They were companions in the Las Vegas mission.  They served 4 months together.  He said I looked a lot like him but from the pictures I saw of Rick Brother Burres gave Rick way to much credit.  Small world eh.  Well our week was great so enjoy yours and I'll send you another letter next week.  Love Elder Robison.
