Letter 5/28/12

Dear family it was really nice to talk to you last Sunday.  It seems like I just talked to y'all not to long ago so time is flying fast.  Well I hope the wind is going to start to slow down for you out on the farm so you can keep some moisture.  Well everything is going well in South Knox we have been working with another church helping them pass out food to the poor.  It is a great service and helps put the churches name out there and we see a lot of people that we run into every day.  Chance is still reading and doing well.  He will be on the road because he has a game some states over.  Kevin is also getting hard to see because he works most hours of the day.  We are hoping to see him after church and get him going towards baptism.  Well yesterday I was with Elder Crofts.  He is in our zone and he and his companion needed a break so Crofts came up here with me, just like good old times.  Monday we had a zone conference call and discussed needs and concerns.  After we had planned a zone activity.  We played basketball, football and then had a BBQ.  We had burgers and steaks.  My hope is this next transfer we get a new switch around in our zone for more obedient missionaries.  I think there are going to be a lot of changes in our zone which will be good.  Our area needs to start pushing with baptisms more.  I'm surprised this whole transfer has not been like I wanted it to be but we have put some pretty strong goals to get some baptisms soon.  We have the potential investigators to do so so hopefully soon.  Well I will write more often.  Elder Robison

Dear family, well it has been a busy week.  I can't remember what I've told you last.  I will catch you up with all our progressing investigators.  We have Kelin, he is 19 years old and is a very understanding kid.  I can see him baptized in no time.  Also a new guy we have been teaching is Chance.  He is a huge black guy who plays for an arena football league down here.  He was referred by a member who also plays football.  The members name is Ryan Hill.  He played QB for ISU in Idaho.  He is from Boise.  When I went over there he looked really familiar to me.  Well 30 minutes into the lesson in the conversation I told him I played for Rigby.  He asked if I knew Casey Faulkner.  I told him very well.  He went and grabbed a Rigby Trojan shirt.  He came and helped us with the camp when I played and that is where I've seen him before.  Small world eh.  Nelson and his family are doing great.  They are praying for a date on when they need to be baptized so we are waiting to see when.  We went to a couple of District meetings this week.  They went great.  The zone is doing well.  We have zone conference on the 10th.  I'm really nervous we have to give an hour and a half training plus get everything arranged for this conference so I wish it was all over.  (He must be really busy because he didn't finish his letter)

Letter 5/7/12

Dear family, well let me tell you it has been a very busy week.  We have been teaching a spanish family and hopefully in the near future they will be baptized.  We also have been going over to a member's house.  His name is Andy.  He started a pest control business and it is booming.  He is a great guy.  He referred us to his cousin Kevin.  Kevin is about 19 years old and loves to ride bikes so we have gotten to know him.  We are hoping to see if we can start teaching him.  Last Saturday we had a very tiring day.  We were asked to help move a member in the ward.  Well that morning we decided to go running.  We went 4 miles non stop.  it was a killer then after that we helped move.  Just as soon as we got done moving another member called and asked if we could help their friend move so we said yes.  Well it was Elder Stoker, the member and I who did it all.  She had a whole furnished house with 2 living room sets of couches and a lot of furniture.  We were all day because we couldn't let the member do it all by himself.  We finished at 8 that night.  I was so tired it killed me.  This last week we also had a couple of District meetings to go to and gave some trainings.  We also had a meeting for all leadership in the mission.  It took most of the day then I just verily got back from a meeting at Presidents house.  We had zone council.  It started at 2:30 and ended at 7:30 but we had dinner as well.  It was a busy day.  Oh I almost forgot to tell you about the best part of my day.  Brother Rany he is a member from another ward who really likes us.  He took us out to Brazeiros, The Brazilian steak house.  It was great we ate until I could verily breath.  He is an ear, nose and throat specialist so he is loaded.  He likes us so much he gave us a job to find out where we can get some kobe beef.  He is legit.  So this has been my life for the past little while, busy but I like it.  I hope I caught y'all up on everything.  Have a good week and love Elder Robison
PS. Gloria is still doing great she is getting baptized this Thursday so on the 3rd of this month.

PSS. Hey we are getting a new address so address all mail to the mission office.
