Dear family, well I received your package. It was great. It made my day. The pictures are great now I can see so much change back at home. Renlee can stand. I think her chubbiness holds her up. It looks like y'all are having a blast. Don't tell Byron Wood but he is completely gray. The Bishopric is starting to look like the first Presidency haha j/k. The picture of all the younger cousins. They have all changed as well so they are growing fast. Don't let me forget to compliment on the tanning mom keep it up give those legs some sun. haha j/k Well it seems y'all are doing great so keep it up!! Well grain Harvest is about to start so my question is are the John Deere deal on the combines too? Well the work is starting to pick up our teaching pool is different people but I believe they are chosen to be ready at this time . cool experience happened this week. Well we will start with Chris #1 we taught him about 3 months ago but just one visit. Well we were helping down at the food pantry and Chris came up to us and told us that he needs help spiritually so we set up an appointment with him. I know he will be open and accept it. Chris #2 well we had another referral from the pantry. We were on our way to go see him and we passed Sims road and in my mind I remembered a date back at the apartment that had an address with Sims Road so I turned around to go get it. We couldn't find it so we went back to the referral and he was not there but his neighbor was outside. We started talking to him and he wants us to come back well it was perfect timing because he just walked out as soon as we pulled in so that was cool! Also today I had a thought go through my head that was one of our old investigators. The thought was just to stop by. It was a strong thought because she lives 7 miles out of town so we stopped by and she was home. She was excited to see us because she felt hopeless. She had just been laid off from her job. She had had her job for 11 years so she was upset. She said something cool! She told us we always come at the right time. It made me feel great. Last district meeting we went out to eat with the Marysville district. We went to Hot Red which is a burger joint. Well they are famous for the 30 oz burger and a pound of fry's and you have to eat it in 30 minutes. The district challenged me to do it. I finished in 29 minutes 46 seconds so verily. I won a t shirt and a picture on the wall. I was sick for most of the day but it was worth it. We have zone conference in a couple of day's so I am speaking on what to prepare and how to present it. Elder Brad Foster will be our visitor in September so that will be neat. he will probably come for our zone council as well. That's all the exciting news thanks so much for the package it means everything! Love Elder Robison
Sunday
Well I figured I would write a little more before I put it all in an envelope well this was a great day at church for the Knoxville mission. We had a normal sacrament in Knox 1st and for the YSA we had Elder Himas from the 70 come and speak. It was great. I was able to talk to him for quite awhile before the meeting started. I forgot to tell you that before YSA a chinese guy came in and asked how he could be part of the church. When I heard this I was overcome by the spirit of gratitude and thanks. My prayers have been answered! Well we teach him and he does not know much about religion or much so we taught very simply and basic. We set a date of baptism for him this month. After the lesson we take him out to the foyer to go visit with the members. Well they were asking where he lives and it turns out he is in the sisters area so I was taken back a little but the sisters are good teachers. It will be good. Well in the YSA a member brought 2 friends with her so we went and introduced ourselves and after we talked to the member and she wants us to teach her. Well there again we found out she lives in the sisters area so hopefully we will get a break around here. It's all good. Erym came to church she is doing great:) but still has to wait for January so we'll wait. Just thought I would give you the update for Sunday. Elder Robison
