We had another good week of work and are doing really good. Things this December will be busy so it might go faster than normal. Right now our goal is to get two baptisms before i go home in December and I think we will get it and thats the goal for the whole mission. Our mission has changed so much since I first started. we use to average about 45 baptisms a month now we are up to close to 100 each month so it crazy but it has been so good to be apart of the change. My companion and I are doing really good. The members are all really happy that this will be my last area, and it will be fun to spend Christmas with them. We had alot of people come to church again even though Pacuio was fighting they all still came haha. Lately I have been trying to study the atonement more and mores so on the enabling power of the atonement and that is the ability to over come trials. When we are weak we can rely on the grace of Jesus Christ to get us through. Through him we can find strength that we dont have alone. Its really interesting to study there is alot that we dont know about the atonement. I know that Jesus Christ is my savior and that we can do all things through him. Thank you all for everything love you all

Well we had a good week and the new family we started teaching last week came to church and accepted a baptism date so that is cool. They really want to join but they will need to get married first so that might take a little while. Then just the other night we taught these two new girls and they both accepted a baptism date as well so now we will try and get them ready for December. The goal for the mission is 200 baptisms in December and I think we can get it. It would be a great way to finish off the mission with a baptism and I know we will have one for sure. I found out yesterday that I will be staying in my area for my last transfer with my same companion so that will be good. At least I know the people so that will make Christmas funner. This transfer should go by really fast with Christmas and all so its going to be crazy but this is all coming to an end. I have truly loved being here and I love the people. I have learned so much while I have been here and I know this is the true church and that as we stay strong in the gospel we will be blessed always and i also know that we have to use our Savior to get stronger and better and to become a saint. I hope you all have a great week thanks for everything I love you all.
Love, Elder Robison

Hey everyone how are you doing. I had a great week this week we had a the opportunity to meet with Elder Oaks from the quorum of the 12 and he spoke to our mission. he is Really great He had us all come and shake his hand. I was a little surprised that he is just very normal, He makes jokes and is just very good. He spoke on many things to us and really hit on marriage and providing. Then he gave us some good things about the priesthood that would clear up alot of concerns in the world right now. It was a great experience that I will never forget. After he told our president how impressed he was with our mission. He said its not very often missionaries will look him in the eye and he said we all did and he really appreciated that. I was very grateful for him and that he came to our mission. One of my top experiences on my mission for sure. It was a great week thank you all for everything I love you all.

Hey everyone how are you all doing I hope everything is going great back at home. We had another really good week here and got everything going good. We found 6 new investigators to start working with and so that will be good and fun. Nothing to crazy happened this week, just normal but a good one. Time really starts to fly by. We have a great ward here and the single adults are really cool in our ward. We had 7 investigators come to church so that was good and we will have another baptism this November 8th so that will be cool she just got married so now she will be able to get baptized. She is excited this has taken her six years so its definitely time. My comp is really cool and we get along really well and he is funny we have a good time together. I kinda hope to stay with him for my last transfer and in this area but not sure what will happen to me I have just one more. I really love it when people realize how much the gospel can help them if you just follow what it asks and live it the best we can and then when we fall short apply the atonement. It can truly change lives and help people in trials. We need to all sustain our leader by following what they ask us to do even if it isn't the cool thing to do. I am very grateful for this church and all it gives us in life and I know this church is true. Again hope you all have a good week. Love You all\
Love Elder Robison

hey everyone how are you all doing. We had a good week and finished it with another baptism and it went really good. Now that she got baptised both of her older brothers now want to listen and that will be really good. Her and her sister have kinda set the example and they are all wanting to follow so its good we will start teaching them. its been good in the ward the single adults have really started to help us in our work and always have us come to there activities and stuff i really like them all. i met a guy that i think david taylor baptized when he was here. his name is Rommel oliquino Paliza he was only 8 but he said that an Elder Taylor from idaho that owns a car dealer ship baptized him and he would love to contact him if david taylor knows him at all. On the other hand just a normal week nothing to crazy. I really loved the confrence last week they are definetly more meaningful when on a mission i feel. Well i hope you are all doing well i love you all sorry just a short letter.
