How Goes It?!

WEll, once again here i am sitting after another week of hard work. We had a goal of 20 lessons this week but we only got 18 but that is still pretty good! We would have had over 20 easy if our investigators hadn't cancelled on us (3 cancelled!) and a few of our less active lessons didn't come to pass but this week we'll get the 20! We worked pretty hard and it felt good! we scheduled 6 lessons yesterday but 3 didn't work out... : ( oh well..But i have something to tell youall. ha um...well being a missionary i guess we're like the pinch-hitters for the ward (or at least that's what the bishop said to me trying to sorta suck up..) but on thursday i got a call from the bishop and he asked if i would give a 15-20 min. talk on faith, like having faith through trials and relying on christ. I wasn't too excited about it, especially because it was like last minute and i have limited resources and time (especially time!) to work on it. WEll i didn't do too much on friday except try and get a few ideas of what i could do but saturday was teh stressful day but also a fun one! In the afternoon around 1-ish we got to go set up a missionary booth at teh stake center because the SOuth stake once every 3 years does a big production of a play and this time it's joseph and the amazing technicolored dream coat so got to sorta greet people and wait for them to come to us but that didn't work out at all. We just stood tehre, NO ONE came and really talked to us and/or even took free church stuff so i felt like i was invisible or something..but we did get to go in and watch most of it which was fun and they did a pretty good job but it did take me a few hours to fully refocus.But that took up like 3 hours of our time and we still had some appointments that night so i had only like 2 hours to do my talk and so it wasn't the best when i did my practice talk to elder romeril but i worked out some of the bugs. My last 15 min. talk i gave in East bakes i was sweating bullets because the AC was broken and i just got all red in the face ( i don't really have a fear of public speaking but i just sweat a lot) but i didn't sweat when i gave this talk - It was a MIRACLE!! haha and so i had that little thing happen to me this week and i'm trying to remember what else...i can't think of anything..sorry.....but i am going on exchanges on tuesday with one of the zone leaders so it'll hopefully be a fun day! This will be elder bobo's last week in the mission : ( but someday i'll be there!! WE have church at 9:30 till 12:30, so i don't know when i should call. dad, when do you have to leave? i sorta want to call after church but i dunno...sorry i'm leaving it to the last minute but what works best for you all? i can either do it before church or after. Either way works for me and chances are i'll probably be calling from the church and using my calling card. No one has offered to let us use their phone yet. i think that's about it. I'm still doing well and am ready for week 6 of this transfer! I love you all so much, i pray for you and hope that this week goes well for all of you! Keep on keepin on and always remember "hakuna matata"!!!
love, elder robison
ps: it hasn't been very hot the past 3 days but i won't hold my breath for it to stay! ha i love you!
