Hello dear family!
I cannot believe you got my travel plans...me, Sister Moyes,
and Elder Heninger (one of the ZL's who goes home with us) were just freaking out
driving to MLC yesterday morning. But, I guess it's kind of exciting. But
missionary work...
Our Sister investigator is doing so good! We saw her a lot this week and she
is so amazing! We saw her Friday night and she said that she knows that the church
is true. Then Sunday at church we were talking to her and some members and she
just straight up said "I just want to be a full fledged member
already!" She is so excited for her baptism! We took her to the temple Sunday night and she
absolutely loved it! And she just understands everything and accepts
everything.
This week was a lot of planning...which is always fun. We
had to plan for the transfer and we have made a lot of good plans and set lots
of good goals, I'm so excited to see what this transfer has in store! Amazing things are around the corner.
So this week we had a mission tour with Elder Johnson who is
in the Europe area presidency, and it was so good! We had zone conference Saturday
in Crawley and I really needed it. It's funny cause we have SO many meetings as
missionaries, but regardless what meeting it is, I have found that if you
prepare yourself beforehand and go expecting to receive revelation, then you
will. This applies to church as well folks. If you stop taking selfies you
would get some more from church as well ;) haha jk, keep the Sunday selfies
going, we look forward to them every week haha, it has just kind of become a
joke between the missionaries in the Epsom ward, your selfies are the best.

Something that I really liked from zone conference was
actually what President talked about. He talked to us about journeys and trips.
You spend all this time preparing to go on a journey, but once you are on a
journey, how much do you take advantage of it? Someone made the comment which
made me think...do I serve time? Or do I serve Christ?
What am I focused on as
a missionary? Something that I have thought about a lot the past few days is
the importance of finding joy in the journey. My mission isn't about the
destination, it is very easy to get caught up in looking at my mission as just
this 18 months, but in all reality, my mission is about the journey. It is
about being spiritually changed, not just physically changed. My mission is
about changing my very nature, which comes from enjoying the journey and focusing
on the journey, not the destination. I just really loved this and it was a good
reminder for me of why I'm here and if I'm taking full advantage of my time on
this journey.
Sister Johnson said a few things over the past few days that
I have loved! She said the best thing we can possibly do for the church is to smile,
and that love is our best tool against Satan. So be happy people, love and
happiness changes lives :)
Lastly, sorry this letter is really preachy, it has just
been a good week of meetings :) but at MLC Elder Johnson spoke to us about
faith and consecration. He talked about how we need to continually be improving,
but we need to be careful (especially as sisters) to not be focusing so much on
our weaknesses that we get in the way of heavenly fathers work going forward.
Basically what I got from it is that I need to chill a bit and not expect
perfection in myself, it will make me a lot happier.
Today for P-day we went to Nandos with the zone leaders and
the office elders. Nandos is so good. I'm going to open one in Salt Lake when I
get home. Now we are going to the temple to say happy birthday to Sister Bills.
But hey I love you guys! Your the best and I can't wait to
see you soon!!!!
Love,
The one and only sister Robison |
