Letter 11/17/12

Dear family well it sounds like y'all got the harvest all in and everyone has left town.  Well to get you caught up for the past 6 months haha j/k.  Well let me get ya caught up on who we are teaching.  Well our number one investigators are the Townsens.  A family of 7.  It's a weird situation with the family.  The fathers name is Cole he is about 55 years old and Wight his wife is philipino and so are all of the kids.  Well Cole is taking it seriously and is learning very fast and gets the concept of the rstoration.  This week will be their first Sunday coming to church so we're excited for them.  Two of their kids are above 8 years old so hopefully we'll get them to the water pretty soon.  Next we have the 2 old ladies Hadi Ray & Joan.  Well Joan is doing well.  She gets the concept of the resotration as well but is looking for an answer.  Hadi she is a ??  She is looking for a little extra money so I'm going to have her alter and fix my pants to help her out.  She is a hoot.  Nancy Keetes was doing so well but she kind of fell off the earth.  She has gotten so busy it is hard to get a hold of her.  Hopefully we can get in with her soon.  Brother Cox just took us out on our team up.  We went to a return appointment to Adalia & Jimmy's.  man they can talk it up.  It's way hard to teach them but we finaly did it.  Brother Cox just wanted to talk about farming the whole night.  He loves it and wants to come to the farm so bad.  Hopefully in a couple of years we can see him come out.  He is a good guy.  I really appreciate him.  Elder Dreesen and I are pretty good friends.  He is a good kid.  This week is our bike week so we better lose as much weight as we can to try to get ahead of the members feeding us so much.  Well some crazy news for this up coming transfer is the 2 other Elders are coming to live wiht us so we will have 4 elders total in our aparmtnet.  So this last transfer will be fun.  I'm going to send this off and get you a good one sent that is not so spaced out love ya.  Elder Robison

This must have been his other one because they both came in the same envelope

Dear family well I'm glad that mom and dad got home safely.  It sounds like y'all had fun.  Well let me get y'all caught up on where I'm at.  To start off with our district.  There are 3 sets of missionaries, 1 set of sisters and 2 sets of elders.  Well the District is struggling right now but after next Wednesday (transfer) we should have a new ballgame.  We have one set of sisters and one sister is going home this transfer so they are not doing to much work so it really hurts the district.  The other set of elders are doing alright it seems like the work is slow right now.  Next transfer we will be getting rid of the sisters and have 2 new sets of missionaries coming in so 4 sets of elders in Dalton.  I'm excited to see the work start to role.  We are getting 2 new sets because of the age change so we will be getting 14 new for the mission.  Well for our area we have some great potentials.  Our number 1 right now is the Townsen family.  They really like the discussions and agree with everything.  The only problem we have with them is their work schedule.  Brother Townsen works on Sunday so it's hard to get him to church but I think his wife and kids are coming this week so we're excited to see whats going to happen.  We also have a lady named Adali who will be coming as well.  The area here is beautiful.  The trees are falling and the mornings are cold and the weather is perfect.  Well it kind of stinks that Obama won.  A lot of people here are pretty torked about it so I can only imagine how ticked off they are in Idaho.  For my birthday this year don't send me anything but just buy me some ammo if there is anything left.  People here are really worried about what is going to happen but in reality it all works out in the end so the end is near but that just means we live in an exciting time.  We need to enjoy what we have while we have it.  So the morning of the day Obama won I was reading in Jacob Chapter 7 so check it out and tell me what you think, kind of ironic eh.  Just the first 6 or 7 verses but thats about it.  Hope to write soon.  Elder Robison
