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

December is here 12-3-12

Well December is here, November what even happened to that month. I Really honestly have no idea what even happened at the beginning of the month. What a week we have had, this December is going to be crazier then ever. With 3 wards and 3 ward Christmas parties and Relief society activities. It is busy busy busy. This past week, during pday I worked on my Family History, mostly just cleaning it up and getting sources for the info I do have. Also, worked on Dads side of the family what a puzzle (sorry Dad and Gma Judy:) On Tuesday we had a good day had a lesson with Bernard and still trying to help him see him see the importance of what he is learning and how putting Gods will first will help him in other things in life. Sometimes, I get frustrated with the people that we are working with and them not getting things that will help their life. But, that is why I am developing patience out here more then ever before. We also, had dinner with a less active sister she was so cutie she gave me a white dress to wear I sent a picture of me in it needless to say I will never wear it. Wednesday, we had dinner with the Nelson family Bro. Nelson is the HC over missionary work in the stake. We taught them the restoration and gave them a DVD of it to give to a friend, Which in turn we then hope to turn them into a investigator/ RC. Thursday, we were at the FHC with one of our RC starting her in her FH, and get a call from this unknown number, which happens a lot. But S. Culler is making an appointment with whoever is on the phone for that night. Must be important who ever it is, come to find out it is a LA sister that we have been trying to get in touch with for about 2 months or so. Sister Underwood, born and raised in the church fell away when we was a young adult and has been put into a humble situation now and KNOWS where to turn THE CHURCH, so because we have left notes so much for her to call us, she did and wanted us to come over and pray with her to help her feel the spirit again. She is so ready to come back and we are going to baptism her husband wile doing it and then in a year they are going to go and get sealed in the temple. that was one of the big exciting things that happened this week. the other we will get to in a minute. O and on Thursday we had District M-ting and it was amazing. Friday we had an amazing weekly planning and then went and visited a LA brother who was going to move his record to another ward, but then because he meet us and we got him HT he decided to leave his records in the right ward. We also helped a new couple move into the ward on Friday night, that was fun. Saturday we had one of the ward Christmas parties and had a meeting with one of our RS presidents. I love coordinating with the ward members on things we can help them with. Sunday we had church and one of our investigators came, I think it really helped her to come and feel the spirit there at church. We also had the Christmas Devo. from the first presidency. it was so good, and I love watching it because it really reminds us of the meaning of the session. it was a good week. the other picture is one That i made to decorate our apartment.

Love, Sister Robinson
