Hello Once Again!

Hi!! How is it that time goes by so fast!! it's never gone by this fast before and it's sorta scary!We had an ok week. I went on an exchange with elder denninghoff (one who i live with) and i was on bike for the day but it actually was the only day of the week it was overcast so that was really nice but i still was sweating so much!! Man, i can't wait till i can jump into snow!! but till then i'll be grateful for this time i have to serve God, even if it's in the heat. But the exchange went ok. I've noticed how much obedience affects missionary work and how much desire can make or break a mission. It is so frustrating, being a zone leader, having disobedient missionaries in our zone. I wish that the missionaries would focus on why they're out here! I believe that some are only out here so they can say they served a mission. I have come to a conclusion that that is a poor attitude and should be changed as soon as possible aka: Now!! We are out here for others! We knock on doors to bring OTHERS to the gospel, to Christ. Not so we can say in a few years that we served a mission but we actually had action behind the word "mission". hopefully that made some sense but i can furthur explain myself when i get home. But Troy, i want you to, as you have been doing, to take the gospel seriously! i had a hard time (but also a fun time) in the mission prep class i took but when i get home i'll tell you all you need to know, stuff that the class doesn't even teach. But keep on going to the classes and read your scriptures and Preach my gospel. It does make a difference! and always go to church! i regret being lessa ctive for a few years but i've changed so much! i completely love church! We went to another baptism this weekend for a guy that we taught for like 3-4 weeks but had to hand off to another set of elders in our district. It was a good service and i was more than happy to hand jason(the guy who got baptized) over to obedient missionaries. It shows that miracles happen if you follow the rules, live the gospel, and keep the commandments. I love being a missionary! It has brought me so much happiness and i hope that i can stay with elder england another 6 weeks! we'll see next monday if we stay or he goes. I will prob. end up writing on wed. because transfer monday is crazy and transfer meeting is tuesday so i'll prob. do it wed. but don't worry if i don't write this week, ok? ok mom? haha just kiddin. I know this church is true and i am now engaged in the best thing ever!!! i love the gospel and am so thankful for what i've learned on my mission! So be obedient, love everyone, keep all the rules, and always behappy because "it's all good"
much love from Cali!!

love
elder robison
