Letter 7/12/12

Dear family, this week has been so crazy busy.  Well let me start off from the beginning of this week.  Well Monday we had our zone activity.  It turned out well.  The next day we were busy preparing training for our zones and for my spanish training.  We also went out tracting.  Wednesday at 8:30 that morning President and Sister Irion picked us up and we went to Marysville District.  While President was interviewing we gave finding trainings and challenges.  Next up we went to Pigeon Forge.  After that District Meeting president had me drive us home so I drove the speed limit all the way home so it took us a long time to get home.  Some very good news for this week it is awesome.  We received a referral from another area.  Well we went to go visit this kid.  His name is Tyler Harman he is 20 years old.  We were getting to know him a little better and he was asking us about church and our missions.  He really wants to serve a mission so we gave him a baptismal date for July 18th.  That is Presidents birthday.  He seems really excited.  I am really stoked, I've been praying for a baptism for a very long time.  He is doing great.  Well we had a very spiritual experience.  Our bishop gave us an assignment to go visit this lady named Vicky.  She is not a member.  Well all we had for directions was a street name.  We went anyways.  We drove the road and then we drove it again and something told me a specific house.  We went and talked to this lady outside of the house.  Well it turns out she was Vicky.  Out of the hundreds of houses.  Same day we had a very spiritual experience again.  We decided to go tracting.  Well it was 105 degrees and we had knocked 35 or so houses and not one person opened up to talk to us.  We were both looking at each other thinking we should give up but something told me to just keep going.  That same feeling like when we found Keyaundra.  We did and this one young lady opened up.  She was very churchy.  We set a return appointment.  After that something told me to keep going so we did and the very last house a lady opened up and was kind of rude at first and wanted to know what we wanted.  Then she asked us questions for about 30 minutes and we shared the Restoration with her. She gave us water and wanted us to come back and wants to go to church.  She told us that it was funny we stopped by because she has been having a very hard time at work.  She started to cry and it was a very tender mercy to me.  I love the feeling when you are being directed by the spirit and you obey that still small voice.  Well I hope I didn't bore you with the letter.  Have a great week.  Elder Robison
