Well It has been a great week in Dalton it fells like home and that's for real. Well since I've been in Dalton I have not missed a night with out being fed it is crazy the members here are so great! The week has been great it seemed to have flown by.  We were on bikes but I don't mind it because it is not to hot anymore so i like it.  Right now is the best weather to visit Georgia and Tennessee.  Well for our teaching pool it has been really dry we really only have one potential investigator and she is extremely busy so it is hard to see her as much as we would like. The great news is is that we tracted a lot this week and found 8 new investigators with a couple of families having great potential! We were able to teach our first spanish lesson together and elder  Dreesen did great he is a good missionary well at first this family did not have to much interest but at the end they were asking all sorts of good questions. They even wanted to feed us tamales  and we just verily ate before we went in so we were already stuffed. Well after that we started to walk up this huge hill.  On our way this car stopped and asked us if we wanted a ride so i looked at them and they were an older couple that you could tell they had a light to them. We hopped in well it turned out that it was elder Nelson from the 12 it was so cool.  We went and grabbed ice cream and talked about the work haha jk but the guy was a former mission president in the chile santiago mission so he was a good guy.  It was fun and we had a great night tracting. Well everything is going well here um just something to think about well my license will expire on nov17th so i need more info on that when you get back! have a great trip Elder Robison

Well things are starting to role here in our area we finally are building our teaching pool! It feels good to see that.  Well let me tell you a little about our success that we had this week with our tracting.  Well it turns out we had an exchange with the zone leaders and elder Patison came down with me. We were able to get 2 new investigators and it seems like they have great potential to become progressing investigators and better yet progressing members. Elder Dreesen and I went to the return appointment that elder Patison and I found and it turns out they did not seem to be to interested at first but at the end of the restoration they had great questions and wanted to know what time our church started.  We gave them the invites and info! During the lesson elder Dressen did great for his first real investigator lesson in spanish he is almost there to where he will feel comfortable to speak in spanish.  My plan is to get a lot more hispanics homes and to get more intercontact with the hispanic people. Well for Nancy K. she is still doing great. She had some great questions about the Word of Wisdom and she did not like the idea of quitting coffee but she said she would do it if God wanted her to. So that is awesome because her mind is on joining the church.  Our next invitation is to get her baptized. I'm excited to be here and I'm really hoping to reach the Mission and Zone vision! It is possible and I want elder Dreesen to know it is before I leave so that is my new vision for our companionship.
President thanks for all you do and you and sister Irion have a great week! Love Elder Robison

 Well that is some shocking news to hear. Let me know if you will be back before I leave and any specific assignments with the new elders that will be coming down to Dalton besides baptisms of course. President I know there is a reason for everything that happens in this life so  whatever reason this may be I encourage you to find it and magnify it ike you have done with your calling this far. Thank you for all that you have done for this mission and this work because like you said this work is for the lord and he is proud of that success you have made in the Tennessee Knoxville Mission. So suck it up and hurry and get back here haha jk. Pres you will be in my prayers! Well a little bit about the area. We had great success with finding with the spirit this week.  We found some people with great interest and are excited to have us back.  It has given me a hope and a stronger desire to baptize more so i have made a goal before it comes to the end. I want to have 10 baptism before I leave.  I know i can do it and it is going to take all we have but I have the right companion for the job so I'm excited! President you have a good and safe trip home and we'll see you here soon! love Elder Robison
(their mission President had to have his knees redone)

 Well that was some shocking news to hear I guess president has to go get his knees redone so we will have a different president for a little while.  He will be back in probably  a month  or so I would think.  Well it sounds like Germany would be a fun place to go visit and that is shocking that dad is liking it. Well everything is the same here and thank you for the package.  It was great I'm going to give some of the potatoes to the members here so they actually know what an Idaho spud is. Right now I'm on a diet. This past 30 days has killed me.  We have been fed every day strait for 23 days and some times 3 times a day so I'm getting huge.  The biggest I've ever been and it is the worst time to gain weight so I'm basically going to eat fruits and vegetables for the next 3 to 4 weeks and see if I can get it off. Well what is some news about Kaden is he ready to go? Tell him to get that turbo on for me before he leaves i don't know why he wanst to get one of those before he leaves and ask him how much he wants for his wheels?  That is about it here.  Time is going by pretty fast! have a safe trip love elder robison

 Well for this week we definitely had a great and wonderful upliftment at stake conference this week.  I am truly thankful for this wonderful work. Well for this week we definitely had a good opportunity to catch up with those we lost contact with for a week or so but we were able to teach and set up some return appointments so I'm thankful. Well there is this family that are progressing at a wonderful rate they seem to enjoy our message and are grasping it very well. They do have concerns with the Word of Wisdom and changing there work schedule to be able to come to church.  I think it is going to take the spirit to get them there so that will happen.  We are planning on having them there this week so I'm excited to see what they think! Also we ran into another family the Polters its a small family of 2 kids.  Only the parents will be able to be baptized but they have a great spirit and seem to like us  Our next appointment will be this Wednesday we have high hopes with them so they are in our prayers day and night! For this next week we are expecting to have high numbers.  This next week we will have the car and our investigators are ready for the big invitation so we are pumped for this week! Well president let us know if there is anything that needs to be done and we'll hopefully see you soon! Have a great week! Elder Robison
