BINGO! (no, not the game!)

Well, i will start off with teh most exciting news thus far in my stay in panama: WE SET LIZBETH ATONDO WITH A BAPTISMAL DATE FOR THE 13TH OF JUNE!!!! WWAAAHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! I'm so very excited for her!! We set her with the date while we taught the Plan of salvation and it went really well! SHe got SO much out of the lesson! i was super impressed! That day too iwas on exchanges too with none other than the infamous Elder Rogers, who was in the MTC with me!! he's our zone leader and we had a great time together! We even bought an ice cream from the guys that drive around tiny little ice cream cars and i got a picture with him!! it's a pretty funny picture!! You'll see it when i send home my memory card! SO ya, it's great! This week has flown by! i cannot believe that it's almost june! Man, its insane how fast it's been going by! I am loving my mission right now! elder romeril is a stud, elder minnick (who we live with) is so much fun to be with! i just love it! of course i still have the occasional rough day but it's all good! The bad times far out-number the good times but the good times far out weigh the bad times! that's truth! So we had an awesome zone meeting too this past week! elder eaton, our senior zone leader, gave such a great talk on patience and talked about the example of joseph smith! How he literally went through hell but didn't fight back, he didn't get upset but remembered the example of our savior Jesus Christ! Today we have an appt. with another investigator that we got a week of so ago and his name is Alan. He's had a rough life and been to jail but while in jail he learned about joseph smith (he learned A LOT!!!) and he accepted the invitation to be baptized as well! we are seeing him at 2 today and will set him with a date for teh 27th, if all goes well! So ya, things are going great! Despite the heat, i love it. I either did somehting wrong or right to be able to be in bakersfield for the summer and i think it's something i did right!! haha : ) Oh, just to update you all, the hole i put in our wall is completely patched up and painted!! hooray, no more guilt but now i can just laugh at it! hahaha i hope all is going well on the home front! TRoy, i love you buddy! Congrats on your accomplishments and i'm so proud of you! you have truly changed into what Heavenly Father wants you to be! Keep up the pace! You're just beginning to help others out and you will be doing many great and important things for the rest of your life. I love you!! Keep on keepin on lil' bro!!! Bye "stinky-pete" ha! Paul, go forth and boldly testify of the divinity of Jesus Christ and invite all to hear of the message of the restored gospel! Heavenly Father will bless you as you teach by the spirit and from the heart! Good luck and i'll see you in a couple years! ; ) Family, friends, i love you all so much! YOu all mean so much to me! i hope and pray that you will continue to read the scriptures, go to church, and learn to recognize the Holy Ghost! The church is true and the book is blue!! I testify to that!!
peace!
elder Robison
