Well this week flew
by! I seriously am so amazed at how fast my mission is flying by. I
can't believe that I have been here 4 months already, it is crazy! I am
always talking about how weird time is here; I think sister G. might be sick of
me talking about it so much ha-ha. This week was better than last week
for sure. We were teaching a lot more than last week so it was
good.
On Monday for p-day we
went shopping, and I bought some really cute ankle boots, English style is so
much different than American style. I am slowly transitioning my wardrobe
to fit in over here. I keep looking at everything I have collected so far
and just hope I don’t have to pack it up soon because I don't know how it s
going to all fit.
Tuesday was a really
good day. It all started with a failed appointment. We were
supposed to see an investigator who has been taught everything but
is just too busy to ever come to church. He never told us a time we could
meet up, so we ended up staying in our flat making area book calls and having
lunch. We walked out to the bus stop to go to the chapel and guess who
was at the bus stop, the investigator we were planning on seeing. So we talked to him for the 40-minute bus
ride. It was a pretty cool miracle. We taught a few new
investigators that day who we think are going to be really good
potentials. They both came from the area book, which is a miracle.
One of them will take a lot of work.
He felt a lot of pressure last time he was being taught, so we are
trying to not make him feel like that, but hopefully still get him to the waters
of baptism. The other guys story is actually pretty
funny. So Sister Stuart and I talked to a guy on the street a little
while back and he had investigated before and was interested in
meeting up again. So I was going through the phonebook trying to find his
number, and there was only one person with his name in the phone, so I called it (yes, I am
slowly getting over my fear of calling people), and he said he wanted to meet
up, so we set an appointment. Now with people like that, we are never
quite sure if they will show up or not. So we were sitting at the chapel
waiting for him to come, and this guy walks in. This was not the person we had met before. I had never seen this guy
before, but he still doesn’t know that we didn't know who he was and didn't
mean to call him...ha-ha. But he is really interested and took a B.o.M
and came to church yesterday. Miracles. The Lord works in weird
ways. We talked to him last night and he still seems really interested in
the gospel and what we are all about, which is really exciting!
Thursday was spent
contacting AUP's (the less actives we have to find) in the pouring rain.
So that was fun. It has rained so much here this week. It has been pretty miserable. Everyday
is just pouring down rain, but it is getting warmer which makes me really
excited for summer! We also went to dinner at a member of the bishoprics
that night; DA's are always nice. You guys should have the missionaries
over for dinner :) Speaking of that, you will have to let me know about
the new Logan mission when it opens. It will be interesting to see how
that is.
Friday was contacting
AUP's again. That has taken up a lot of our time lately because we have
about 40 we have to get done by next week. We had dinner with the Deans
and a recent convert, and a member named Simon. Dinner was good,
but our convert has been stressing me out lately. He hasn’t come to church for 5
weeks and we don’t know why. Being a missionary can be stressful...that
night sister G and I had an intense heart to heart for like 2 hours. We
just talked about everything and I realized a lot of stuff I need to
change. I have not changed into the person I want to be/know I can be, so
I am working hard on submitting my will to Heavenly Fathers and letting him
change me. Change is scary, but it will be good.
Saturday we saw a
miracle. Our bishop gave us a referral a few weeks ago for a lady whose
daughter had recently joined the church in Arizona. We had tried and
tried to call her, but she never answered, and we tried her house but she
wasn't home. Saturday we received an online referral (where the person
gets online and requests a visit) and it was her. So we went out and
tried again and her daughter answered the door. She is so nice and really interested in the
gospel. Sadly she is going through a divorce right now so she doesn't
have time to meet with us this week, but she is a really good potential!
We are really excited about her.
Well that is just about
everything about my week. I got your letters this week, thanks for those,
I love hearing the postman slide letters through the door. I always get up and run to the door in the
middle of comp study to get them.
I have written in my
journal everyday so far, be proud. It is hard to remember to do
sometimes, but I love reading back through it and remembering everything I have
gone through already.
I can't believe Taylor
comes home today! That is so crazy that his mission is already over.
Well I love you all so
much and pray for you everyday. Thanks for all the love and support you
give to me. Keep being the best family ever! And keep teaching from
PMG for FHE. That is what we do when we go to members homes, we have
started to read straight out of it with them, it teaches everything so simple
and clearly.
Love you!
Sister Robison xx
