Transfers...the last!

What is going on, everybody??!!! So i'm sure that you were just as nervous for transfer calls as i was. There are 180+ missionaries in the mission and it takes a lot of time for the assistants and pres. Murri to make those calls so we get the calls between 6:30 and 12ish so it's never a set time, so it sorta plays on your nerves but we got ours pretty early, like around 8ish. but President called from the mission office and when he calls you know you are getting transferred but if the assistants call then you are staying together but pres. said that it was going to be a short phone call but that elder miller and i are staying together for another transfer, so i'll be finishing my mission in bakersfield!! good thing this city is awesome! ha I call it the "BakersFIELD of dreams' haha so our zone is getting mixed up too! we are now going to have a different district and we have to travel 30+ minutes to go to district meeting but it's all good. We now have a 2 district zone instead of a 3 district, so it's a bit different but oh well. I am pretty excited about this transfer. Elder miller is a hard worker and we get along well. We teach in unity and i'm glad to ahve him by my side because i feel so much more confident. I am sad i will not get to serve in Camarillo 3 but God wanted it this way.
It is very sad to see elders minnick, winspear, england, and a bunch of others go home but they finshed what they were called to do. They fulfilled their duty, and i've still got six more awesome weeks of serving my mission!! I know it will try me, it will push me to the max but i know i'll be able to grow from it!
This past week went really well. We were on track for teaching 20 lessons but we feared that thanksgiving would put a wrench into what we were doing but we actually ended up teaching 2 lessons on the street, which was 2 more that we expected! We had a really good dinner too! i piled it all up on my plate!!! you all would be so proud of me! i ate like no body's business! and the turkey - awesome! I never have been the biggest fan of white meat because it's just always so dry but this white meat was SO YUMMY!! it was not dry at all! So needless to say i really loved it! i love sweet potatoes or yams, whatever they are. and i forgot to mention last week but e. miller and i were asked to give talks on missionary work, so i didin't have very much itme to write it but it turned out ok. I didn't sweat as much as i did in east bakes, but still had a little perspiration, so elder anderson (austin) can relate to sweating! haha him and i are sweat buddies ahah random...we had a good week though. i appreciate all of your love, concern, prayers, and thoughts! i really will miss all of you this holiday season but i am trying to give our savior a present this christmas: a person dressed in white baptismal clothes! so i'll work hard to do that. I love you all so much! have a great week! Kris, i hope you feel better! and paul, i'll pray for you, bro! I love you all!! Much love from (once again) bakersfield!

love
elder robison
