Letter from 3rd Week in the Field



Family so things are going alright here for the most part. it's been kind of a busy week. On Monday it was p-day so we just went to out District meeting. We have it every Monday then after we went to the mall. The malls are huge here. I got my hair cut by a barber. After that we went and emailed then we had family home evening at Sister Fina's. it was really good. She cooked french fries just because I am from Idaho. She has a little more money than most so she can afford it. That made me happy. I ate a ton. On Tuesday was just a regular day. We go out and just teach lessons all day long. It's hard because we walk all day but my back is really bugging me and there is no way to fix it so not sure what to do about it but I guess just keep going and hope it gets better. On Wednesday was our zone conference. We had to wake up at 3 a.m. to get there on time. We are the farthest zone away other than Mendoro the island. We took a jeepney for like 2 hours there. We pull up and President lives in a mansion. it made me think we could use a little better house but it's whatever. So for that they just teach us from 8 a.m.-4p.m. They feed us lunch as well so that was good. After that we had to get back in the jeep and go for another 2 hour ride. We got home about 6:30 then had to go out and teach until 9. I was very tired. On Thursday we went on splits. I went with Elder Thompson. Their area is up in the mountains. I saw my first snake there it was just a little one though. We were out tracting and I said let's try this house and he was like good luck. he was like go for it so I just walked up and talked in English and said, we have a message to share would it be okay if we come in. She was like sure come in. Elder Thompson couldn't believe it. It turns out she had been praying for help. Then we came so thats cool. So then on Friday we had to go down to the office because Elder Galingana had an interview so that was again a long jeep ride but I did get McDonalds so it was alright. When we got back we went out and started tracting a little. I was walking and a lady ran out and said come here so we stopped. She then grabbed my arm and was like your so guapo. It means handsome. She was like pulling on my arm and said come in it's my birthday. I said I can't we are busy but she kept pulling me and I would pull away. She just kept pulling so Elder Galingana grabbed backpack and was pulling with me. it was like a tug-a-war with me. It was crazy. She kept trying to pull my ring off. Luckily we got out of there. The rest of that day nothing exciting other than that. Saturday I woke up and didn't feel very good. I was really dizzy and had a headache. Ever since I have been here I just don't feel good and I don't know what to do. My stomach is always hurting me but I have nothing that can help it either. Hopefully I will get better. I really just which this was almost over. The kids that all leave soon are so lucky. Hopefully I learn the language soon because I hate not being able to speak at all. Well that's all for last week. Hopefully this next week will be better. Well thanks fro all the support. I love you all thanks Love Elder Robison
