Family, Isn't it about time...

 

First off...Elder Robinson I wish I had 4-5 baptisums lined up for the next week and a half. Right now my companion and I are sweating bullets to get some kids in the water but if we get all of them then thats seven baptisums we will have in the next few weeks. I thing we will only be able to get five of them because of parental concent.

 

Elder Angell and I worked so hard this last week...We OYM'ed(Open your mouth) on avradge of over 50ish people a day. Recived 19 member referals Whoo! Had 11 member present lessons. knocked on who knowes how many doors sunday morning and no one came to church. But then we found out about a nonmember 11 year old boy who is not a member of the church who told us he wants to get the priesthood when he turns 12 this next month. We told him we could arange that and set an opointment.

 

I have enjoyed this last week so much. It has been wonderfull to live and work around my trainer. Elder Johnson Remineds me of...well Elder Jeremiah Robinson. I cant wait untill they meet each other one day. We might be able to have some joke come about that would rival of surpas all of those Chuck Noris Jokes when that happens...

 

So I didnt hear any comontary about my shoes. Did anyone like them?

 

Dad, can you send me some pictures of the new shop and how it is coming?

 

Mom, be advised I will need to be buying some new socks and some more bike parts. It shouldnt be that much though. Also can you send me some Resipies...Beef Stroginoff...Brocoly Soup...Corn Chowder...That would be wonderfull. I love you. Thanks

 

Christy, Boy or Girl? My vote...not like it will make any diffrence...Boy!

 

Ann and Clan...Ejoy Utah. Send Pictures of everyone for me will you.

 

I love and miss you all. Take care of your selves. I heard the world was going to end last Saturday. I figured if it was they would let us call home again. Darn...

Mom has Alex been baptized yet. If not Elder Robinson will still get him right? Anyone ever thought about talking to the nabors on the corner? Are they intrested in the gospel?

 

love,

You all have no Idea where I am now do you?

Yup I got transfered... but I am not going to tell you where I am untill the bottom of this email.

 

My new companion is Elder Angell from Saint Anthony Idaho. Amy you wanted to know if I am still bikeing...Yes I am...Lots. Not as far but where I am has lots of hills, Big Hills. Infact I am going to be buying some more needed bike parts. Which is prity incredible because everywhere else is flat. Oh I Also now live with two other Elders Elder S. Johnson My trainer (he is on his last transfer) and his companion Elder Brinkerhougfh(I dont know if that is spelled right).

 

So I belive I told you President Bowman called me up monday morning and told me I would be leaving Valdosta and relised as a district leader. He also told me that I was going to an area that didnt have much happening and that he would give me a hard working companion to fix it. Well he did. Elder Angell is very hard working. On Friday Not to bost by any means we contacted over 100 FTC'S(First time contacts) that we invited to learn more about the gosple. Over 60 of them we invited to be baptized. It's so much eazyer to gust get that out there. All the days exept Sunday this last week we contacted over 80 FTC's. Such a turn around from my last area where we would push to talk to 40 people a day and invite 20 of them to be baptised.

 

So it is aparent that I am in a City. Its Aiken South Carolina. Yup I was as far south as out mission whent and now I am as far north as out mission goes. I have now served in every Zone and been on all sides of the mission. I am what you call the Border Potrol. I keep The Georgia Macon Mission safe from....well. My new address(Dad) is 126G Mossback circle Aiken, SC 29803. now for the Joke to be Valed at the end I have to keep writing and telling you about my area.

 

Its horse country. Every thing has a horse head or there is a panted hose on the corner of the street. That's down town at least.

the rest of the area is fairly populated and reminds me of... Manti Utah but there are a ton of trees. Infact three words that describe my new area are...Trees...hills...and Old buildings that I want the home owners to take me on tours of when I come back to visit. 

 

We have lots of individuals that we are now working with. On transfers I drove with one of the Assistants who served in this area and he told me to go and get a family he was working with in the water. Or at least the rest of them. So we are now planing a wedding for some of them and making contact with others to get them in the water. Its going to be great. 

 

I love you all, thak care of Dad. Dad feel better. 

 

 

 

 

 

If you scrolled to the bottom of the email trying to cheat then you will have to go back and read the rest of the email to find out

where I am. :)

love,

Mother's Day!

So here is the plan...

I can call anytime after church on sunday. The problem is I dont know what number to call and I only have 40min to talk. So I will call Mom's cell 372-1025 or the house number at 8pm my time witch should be 6pm your timeish. If I am to call at that time i will have to be done at the end of the 40min because I will have to be reporting numbers to mission leadership right after. Get the phone number I need to call for skipe and call back. They are asking us only to make one call so I would like to be obediant to what they have asked. Its also why I want to see if this confrence call will work out so that I can speak with everyone. If by chance that it dosent and I am only able to speak with mom and dad then we will have to talk at christmas.

 

Ann- Sorry about your arm. That dosent sound like any fun. I havent seen your package yet but I will be looking for it.  

 

Elder Robinson- lets see if this trend continues we found 17 new investigators this last week. Three families and a many of them are really intrested. The Atlanta Temple was deticated yesterday and the phrophet prayed for the missionaries here. I love promices like that from the prophet. We have made contact with many less active families who are deciding to come back to church. Oh and we got 800 miles again on our car to drive this month! Count your blessings I would walk everywhere if i could but for now i just have a sore bum. We are still hiting over 20-25 miles a day on our bikes.

 

Dad- Was that information i sent you any help?

 

Amy And Ann! Happy Birthday! Whoo yall going to be 28! whoo! I still cant beleve that I am 20. I dont feel like it. you probly dont feel like you are going to be 28. What happed to those 15 breaks in elementry school?

 

Picture. Me entering the mission field you year ago...Almost.

Wow time flyes when you are doing this work. I have been stomping on the breaks ever sence I got here and well. I love this work lets just say that. You fight as hard as you can and the lord will lead you to win the battle. He will not chance or decide for the agencey of others or yourself but he will not alow other to keep you from keeping his comandments. When we see that choices become simple. Hosana! Save now! For He lives!
