Back in Bakes!


So here again i am in bakersfield! Well, despite my love for this city, it still is hot! ha ok, not super hot yet, it's been 80's ish so not too miserable....yet! SO my companion is Elder Jon Romeril (pronounced "Rom-rull" or "Rom-roll" it doen't really matter how, and you just say the name pretty fast so you pronounce it correctly. He's from Alberta, Canada from a small village (not big enough to be a city) called Stirling. He looks pretty close to what i look like so now there are four elders (actually 5 but you dont know the other one) who look fairly close to each other: Romeril, Winspear, Cortez, and Robison. haha So we are living at 4401 Blossom valley lane (pretty sure it's lane) bakersfield, CA 93313 so yup...we are living in a members house with just us missionaries and we live with two of the spanish elders and they're good guys! They are elder King and Minnick (he's the one that came out with winspear) One came out with Winspear (he got switched to spanish when pres. murri came into the mission) and so he's only been out a transfer longer and then both our comps. are brand new! Our zone is so crazy this transfer! out of the 10 companionships, 8 are training! So that means out of the 20 elders in the zone, 8 are brand new and 8 training. Elder Kimble is in our zone too but i prob. wont see him too often but it was great seeing him!! he's only got 12 weeks left!!! Then he heads back to W. virginia. : ( But one day i'll see him again! ANd talk about bad timing because winspear was a zone leader in thousand oaks the past like 3 transfers or so (and actually lived in my old newbury park apt.) but he got transferred down to be a zone leader in Ventura!!! Right as i leave!! Come on!! ohwell....elder bobo is my zone leader though and in my district so i see him at least once a week so that's been good to see him, he's so funny! (even though he is super mono-tone) ha! So yup, another summer in bakersfield on a bike! i don't know what i did wrong to get this but i guess i'm just lucky! ha That's about it! I love you all so much and missyou too but am loving it out here (till it gets to be 100+ degrees ha) but i know the book of mormon answers questions that we have and that it's from God! This is god's work and no matter how much the adversary tries to break it down it won't becasue god is all powerful and i love being on his side! I lov eyou all and send much love from south bakes!
love the warm and tan,elder Robison
