Politics as a Missionary 11-12-12

So Tuesday, thank goodness that is over as a missionary it is really hard to have a Mormon running and NOT for anything be able to talk about it. Thank goodness that day is over. :) as for the country when I get home who knows good thing i have the Gospel in my life and love and live it. Wednesday, we had an amazing Coordination meeting in our willow Creek ward. Thursday, we had a lesson with Bernard an investigator that we have been working with the whole time that i have been here. He committed to come to church with us on Sunday:) O Yeah:) Friday we had AMAZING zone meeting. Words can not tell you about this meeting, we had a hike through the Doctrine of Christ and it was really powerful, also we found out the effect on the Arizona Phoenix Mission because of the announcement of lowering the age of missionaries. We are going from 160 missionaries in the APM in January to 250 missionaries in the APM by April. We have 9 English sister companionship right now to 10 new companionship coming by April that is more then double the sisters that are in the mission. CRAZY TOWN:) we all are tighten up and preparing for the BIG increase in new missionaries coming in. We are tightening down on the laxness and really TIGHTENING UP. Saturday we had Adult stake conference and it was really great it is about becoming a Zion person and community. Sunday, wow Bernard came to church and it was amazing it was a broadcast from SLC. Elder Holland, Pres. Eyring, and 2 other authorities talked to us. Wow what a conference, I have to say We as a mission are super pumped for the next 6 months, I wish i could be here longer to see the real fruit of it, but i am honored to be a part of it. This truly is a answer to prayers because with these kind of number of missionaries coming in will there will be 1.5 missionary companionship per ward throughout the mission. We will not have to cover 3 wards and be so stretched thin in our work in each ward. that also means that the members of the church will also have to step it up and be better member missionaries. I just want to conclude with my testimony that the work that I and you all are apart of is for real and now is the time to prepare and do all that we can to prepare to meet our Heavenly Father and Love ones again. I am so grateful for temples and the connection that we get to make there with not only drawing closer to our Heavenly Father and making more convents with our loving Heavenly Father, and our ancestors. I love you all so much and hope that you find opportunities to straighten and share your testimonies this week.

Love, Sister Robinson
