Wow that is so cool about Abby, that will be an awesome mission I know a couple of people who have served there and they loved it. Well with the insanity we got permission with President and all he said is that he wants to see our result pictures haha so we work out when we can some times it is not possible to do so when we have appointments in the morning or meetings but usually we hit at least about 4 days out of the 6 per week! I am not losing weight but I'm tightning up and losing fat so that is all I want. Everything has been going well with our little program we made. It has been helping some of the missionaries that take it serious so that it is pretty cool. I'm trying to figure out what I said in my last letter that I sent . I will send you Presidents report so you can get an idea were all of our investigators are at. Well I will tell you what we did for Pday yesterday it was pretty fun. Our district went to some caves and we got so dirty we were covered in mud and hopefully i will get you out some pics it was pretty cool it was nice to go do something that I would do back at home. Well these caves are right next to this golf course and why were sitting out side of the caves I went and in just in 5 min I found 50 new golf balls so I think next week we might go back and go gather all the balls and send them home or just sell them out here to the golf courses. It was pretty fun. For  the work in this area we need to do something different we have  been trying to work with the members and we are not doing so good with baptisms. It is hard to get people baptized in this area it has been over a year since there last baptism so we're in hopes we can change that. I think the hold up to this area is that the church is 30 min away and it is hard to do church tours and stuff like that but we are going to bite down and get it done.
Presidents letter
Well we have seen a lot of cool progress this week with our zone and with our area! We were able to present the program to Pigeon Forge district and as well as the Marysville district. It went really good with both it took a little while for them to grasp it so we need to make steps on the side so they know exactly what the purpose is of this paper.  We might even need to add a little more to it but overall when they figured it out some of the areas were really excited to know that they are part of a pilot program. The ones who have taken it serious have already seen results. In Bays Mountain they were able to go in with their commitments in mind and to invite her to do more. Well she accepted and they set a date with her. It was cool to hear! I think this paper has all to do with if the set of missionariess take it seriously so we might need to stress the importance of it and the success of it to some areas. SO FAR SO GOOD

With our area we are going to apply the teach in faith as soon as possible we tried to do so but our appointment canceled. we will report on the success in the next letter. Well we had some cool experiences with doing a service project this week. There is a food pantry that we go help pass out food well some of the people can not carry the food all at once so we help carry it out for them and on our way to the car we are able to share a message with them and they are more receptive to our message because we are serving them at the moment so they give full attention to us and we are able to set a return appointment with them.  We were able to get 6 new investigators for it so now our next step is to follow up with them.  Its a great finding tool that needs to be used every where if possible.

Eryn Sanders is doing great spiritually she has such a great testimony with whatever we teach. Whatever we say she listens and believes so we love to teach her.  Our next lesson with her is to teach her the word of wisdom and get her to live it and then talk about obeying the commandment and to do whatever it takes to do.  We are hoping that she will make her date. It is going to take a big act of faith on hers and our part so we are excited to do so. Well im excited for zone councel to hear and present our training so we will see you this week Love Elder Robison
