I Love My Mission!!!

Where to begin. That is the question. We had our zone conference on Tuesday and that was great!! I absolutely love President Murri!! He truly is an inspired man and cares about all of us missionaries! He is a man of patience, motivation, diligence, and love! I have grown to love him so much and i am grateful that i am able to work with him on a more personal level. It was sweet being in ojai for 6 months because i got to see him fairly regularly and ya, he's just THE MAN!! It's been another fast week! i can't believe it's already monday! Time truly has gone by so fast! we are constantly busy and always on the go! i am getting pretty behind on my journal and also letters but i don't care because i love being a zone leader! i love being able to be so jam-packed with appointments that we hardly have time to breath! it's so incredible, missionary work! it makes me sad knowing that my time being a missionary is coming to a close and also my time with elder england. I have such a great relationship with him! We are always laughing and just staying so positive! it is amazing to me how much of a change there is/can be when you have a friend next to you all day, one that you care for and relate to (as you are well aware i have only had one companion that has been a struggle for me) but what im' trying to say is i love being with Elder England!!! he is a stud-muffin! so heavenly father has blessed me with an awesome companion, a great area, a BOMB ward ("bomb" is a good thing...ha) and many people for us to teach!! I absolutely love it!!! Today we are going to be teaching one of our investigators who has a baptismal date for Sept. 5th so we'll teach him about a few commandments! Also, on Saturday i believe, we set another guy named jason with a baptismal date for aug. 29th so it's pretty exciting! the field is white and we are harvesting right now!!! Bakersfield has never seen such a happy utah boy before!! Elder England and i are rockin the socks off of the Rosedale and Kern River Branch (our two wards we cover...the kern river branch is the YSA for the stake) and we're going to coninue to do more sock-rockin! I have learned so much since i've been out here on my mission! I also have learned a lot since being a zone leader but i know heavenly father qualifies whom he calls! i pray and hope he will continue to help me to help my district/our zone so we can be unified! I love youall so much and do truly appreciate all of what you do for me! all of your thoughts, prayers, and letters/emails!! i apologize if my letters (hand written) take a while for me to get back to you but i'm very busy teaching the gospel!!! haha I love it!! Much love from Bakersfield stake aka: Royal bakes!!! : )
Love,Elder Ty Robison
