Where is the time flying too? 2-4-13



Got a question?????? where did this week go, I was really just sitting her what felt like 10 minutes ago emailing you all. Here i am again. :()


So big news THE DINNER POLICY THAT WE HAVE HAD IS LIFTED. So you may not remember what that is so we could not eat with people unless they had a less active, non- member, or investigator eating too. Or they could go out with us before or after the dinner, to do missionary work. This has been the way it was from the time I got into the mission, I have learned to love this meal policy even though it seems hard to do. It was lifted this past Friday and so now we can eat with anyone member or anyone. But they can only be one hour or less and the thought and everything needs to be shared in that time. So that is the big mission news, I don't have much time was on the phone a lot during my email time, so brief run down of the week we found a family to teach a family of 5 and they are amazing also had a lot of lessons fall through this week but great things happened. also have 2 baptisms in 2 weeks stellar people. I LOVE BEING A MISSIONARY:)


love you and remember who you are ,

PS: HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDMA ROBINSON:)

Back in the Valley 1-28-13

Well it has been raining for the past several days which is funny because that is what it did when I went to Prescott. The work is moving along here we picked up 2 new investigators and they came to Church on Sunday. The work here is amazing I think it is because of the new Phoenix Temple that is coming up that is about 3 miles from our area and is inside our zone. We had 7 investigators at church on Sunday and have 2 set baptism on the 16th of Feb. Also, Grandma R in a companionship their is a Senior and Junior Companionship and the senior companion is the one that has been out the longest, but this time I am just guiding S. Follett and helping prepare her to be a senior companion and train. that is perfect with me. O so now that i am back in the valley Brother Lee from Bethany Home is a facility manager over the building we meet in and so I have seen him twice. He told me that Darrin went to the Temple a couple of weeks ago for the first time. got to run love you

coming home... the beginnings 1-14-13

Well first i sound let you all know that i will be flying home a week earlier then first projected. I was suppose to come home May 28th but because of the changes that have happened to the missionary program since Oct. GC I will be having a 5 week transfer starting next weeks transfer and then we will go back to 6 week transfers again. But that one 5 week transfer messes ever transfer up after that so I will be flying home on MAY 21 not the 28ths. which is good because then I can give me talk in church on the 27th hopefully and not have to wait 2 weeks because of fast Sunday the week I get home.

this week has been so great. it has strengthen my testimony of as we live in obedience no matter what is happening around us OUR HEAVENLY FATHER BLESSES US WITH THOSE PROMISED BLESSINGS OF OBEDIENCE. We got a new investigator and not the one that i talked about last week. that person ended up being a member. But we went and visited a Part member less active family and their 11 year old son Connor wants to learn more about the gospel and the parents are ready to start coming to church. YAY:) Also the lady that i talked about last week, that I thought was going to become a new investigator but was a member we are throwing her a baby shower this Thursday (with the RS help if course). It is more of a welfare/ fellow shipping shower because her and her boyfriend are new and coming back to church. We are going to start teaching her son as well that is not a member. like i said HEAVENLY FATHER BLESSES WHEN WE ARE OBEDIENT NO MATTER WHAT. I have gained a strong testimony of that Principle this week. one that i will hold onto forever and strive to live be for ever. Well got to run and email president

love you all bye,

Sister Robinson

Lessons in Obedience 1-7-13

So this week, we had zone meeting and it was really good this week. We were committed by our zone leaders to start praying every morning and and night as a companionship to pray specifically to do the will of God each day. And as we have done that each day we have been able to see miracles each day. S. Larson lost her planner and our phone Friday night and Saturday we did our morning things and then went out to find them, it was really need to see that God was able to lead us back to them even though we had no idea where they were at. We found them both on the side of the road in to different places untouched and unharmed. It was a good thing that we found them both because we were out visiting people and stopped by this less active man and we were talking to him and as we were leaving we had to call 911 because he passed out on us. He really needed to go to the hospital but refused treatment:( good thing we have programs in the church like Home teaching and visiting teaching, we informed his home teachers and they are going to keep an eye on him and we will visit when we are out that far. We also were able to have a missionary moment with the fire men explaining who were were and what we were doing. it was like being home again. HEHE

We also started teaching this excommunicated man that had pulled his name from the records after getting a divorce with his wife. they are now wanting to get back together and so he has to take the lessons all over again and everything. So we have started to teach him and also we texted a returning less active that has a live in girlfriend last night as asked if Rhianna wanted to learn more and she texted back and said she would love to learn more. We set up a lesson with her for Wednesday. As we are obedient no matter what we have the LORDS promise that he will bless us. This week is evidence of that promise.

I love you all and hope you have a great week.

Love, Sister Robisnon

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 12-31-12

Well it was good to talk to some of you, Grandma and Grandpa Wright hope you all had a great Christmas. Thank you all for the gifts. Well we have no investigators and so we are doing a LOT of finding and what not. This week we got 9 member referrals, which is amazing I dont know of many missionaries that get more then 4 or 5 member refferals. You all should help the missionaries and share your friends with the missionaries. Do you know if the missionaries there are doing a new approch called the prayer approch? find out and let me know please. because of the holidayswe are are stuck in our appartment all day (after pday hours are done) and then all day tomorrow also. Sister Larson and I are going to start working with the wards and helpping to prepare them for for the new tons of missionaries that are coming in. Well what a great new year this will be, we are starting it off with a wonderful snow storm and a hike with the zone. Got to run but hope you all have a great week. just kidding there is more i need to talk to you about, so this week we have been cleaning out our area books and going through the former investigators and we went to visit these 2 little girls that were being taught a few years ago. they lived in this trailer park area, and when i day trailer park i mean rv trailer park but these people live in them. We did not find the girls because CPS took them out of the home. but we did meet this girl named Jessica and we prayed with her and got a return appointment so we will see what happens this week. Love yall

Merry Christmas 12-24-12

First off Merry Christmas to you all. Hope you have a memorable one. This week has been a crazy one but so great, we had the Christmas Conference on Friday and got to go to the temple and what a well needed trip that was. Lots of sleep lost this week because of it though, got up Friday about 5:10 am and got home about 11:15 pm. have not recovered since, however with 2 days pretty much off there will be a lot of sleeping and cleaning and DE-cluttering the apartment. Missionaries apartments get so cluttered because every missionary leaves things behind and so S. Larson and I are going to take these days off and clean out the whole room. YAY. Well hope you all had a great week. Thanks for the fudge did i ask you for some because i keep meaning to ask and forgot. But I loved getting it, it is the one thing that i look forward to each Christmas. I thank you for the other gifts that i have not opened yet either. Well love you all and hope you have a merry Christmas.

Love you all so much,

Sister Robinson
