Another Week Down, Not a Ton Left!

Hello from the sunny south side of bakersfield. it got sorta warm here the past week and i had to take my bike in to get it repaired. the back tire was loose and i couldn't fix it but itshould be better now. I miss elder romeril so much!! i never thought how much i'd miss him! he became my best friend! We had so many amazing memories together, all of them i will cherish forever! I also miss e. kimble too. As i said good bye to him at transfer meeting i teared up. I didn't think i would but i did. I love him so much, he taught me so many neat things and i look forward to the day when i see him again. That's the one hard thing about the mission is saying goodbye to best friends! it's just like before i came out, with all the goodbye's to family and friends. A lot of missionaries have become life long friends. Elder ridlon (sorta like the drug ) is from india but was adopted at one and lived on the east coast for most of his life like georgia/florida, maine, and maryland. He also lived in utah i believe is salem or spanish fork but he went to spanish fork high.. HE's a nice kid buti'm having a really hard time adjustingto him. he is, and this is being honest and bold, but he's really femmy...i don't mean to sound rude but he is. I did have a hard time adjusting to elder batemon when we were first put together but i adjusted and loved the kid so hopefully i'll be able to not look atthe small things and learn to love him for who he is. elder kings new comp is cool though. i knew him wheni was in ojai, so we get along. The next 5-11 weeks could be a real patience tester to me but we'll see. please keep me in your prayersso i can develop my patience and love every minuteof my mission. I am sorry this email is so short. i am going to go play basketball and my mind is running at a million times a minute. Also, paul, good luck on your mission . Don't have any regrets and work your hardest and the time will go by faster!! i know god loves you and will help you get over obstacles you will face! read the book of mormon for answers! and rememeber Hakuna matata - it means no worries! l love you all!!!
love, elder robison
