Letter
Family, hey how are you all doing? I hope everything is going really
good for you all. Getting busy with spud harvest I am sure. Ha can't
wait to see some pictures of all that. Ha the people here will really
be amazed at how it all works. When they ask how we plant and harvest
or plow the fields they thing by hand or that we use caribou. They all
are amazed when I show them my little toy tractor that I have so it's
pretty funny. As for us we have been busy as well. Trying to get some
of our investigators to baptism. Most of our investigators are pretty
new so it will still be awhile but so far they are doing pretty good.
I'll tell you about my week. Monday was not p-day so it was a work day.
We went and contacted a referral we received. Her name was Ruby. We
had to teach very slow. She didn't understand much. She also had a
hard time listening. She isn't a native tagalog speaker so it might be a
little difficult to understand. After we went and tried to talk to
some less actives that we haven't met yet. Kind of a slow day. Later
that day I had a dentist check up. I thought I had a cavity but it was
just a spot of something that didn't seal good or something. She said
she fixed it but I am not sure. Ha don't tell Rachel that I did that
but it only cost $5 so I figured why not. Tuesday that was our p-day.
We went to the temple but all the sessions were full so we just did
initiatories. So still haven't got to see the new movie so hopefully
next time. After I tried to get back to email but everyone had
something they needed to do so we didn't get back until way late so I
was a little bummed so we only emailed for a short time. Wednesday we
went out and tried to talk to the less actives. Not a single one of
them let us in. One of them we saw hide from us and her daughter told
us she wasn't there. Then later Elder Scanlan had baptismal interviews
he needed to do so after that we went and taught the Romero family.
They are doing alright. The father is kind of hard headed. He won't
give up coffee. That's the one problem that he has. Hopefully they
will all come through. Thursday we had a good day lots of appointments
We taught Leni. She is interested but really busy with work. She was
telling how she missed us because it had been awhile since we had been
there so she is doing good. Then we taught Nini Tata. They are doing
good as well. Brother really understand things and he is reading the
Book of Mormon. They also told us how much happier they have been ever
since we have began visiting them. I really hope they continue to want
to learn and be baptized. Then we ate dinner with the Natividad family.
They are really good to us. Brother don't want his kids to serve
missions because he things they won't be taken care of. He said he
loves them to much to send them out like that. Then he said do your
parents not love you guys or imagine how they feel with you out here
alone. We just laughed at him. Friday a good day. We have started to
teach this kid Mark. He is special and his parents asked if he can be
baptized so we are teaching him and if he understands enough then we
will go through with it. He is a funny kid I like him a lot. Later
that night we went to the Romero family. Only half would join us not
sure why or what was up so we only taught half of them. Hopefully next
time they will all join. Not sure what happened but I guess we'll see.
Saturday we had priesthood session and the adult meeting for Stake
Conference. It was good. Lots of people came and it was really good.
That took up most of our day. Sunday we had Stake Conference it was
good as well with lots of people showing up. So that was my week. We
have been busy. it's been good though. Helps time go by faster. Once
thing we need to be thankful for is the atonement. We need to use in in
our lives everyday and always try to be better. It was put in place to
be used so we need to take that opportunity and realize that
forgiveness comes from Jesus Christ and because he loves us. Well have a
great week. I love you all. Thanks for everything and all the
support. Have a good harvest. Take lots of pictures. Thanks again.
Love Elder Robison
