So wedding plans are up, down then up again. I know things will work out weddings do somehow, it's just stressful getting there. But we choose to smile and laugh so we don't go crazy!! To top it off our ceiling started leaking this morning in our bedroom. We are very grateful for our landlords and their willingness to help in emergencies!! This is also Chrys' first birthday away from us. We also can't talk to him so that is a little weird. But I know that he is getting a cake and we made one too. We made one when our oldest was on his mission in Russia. It's what we do. A little silly maybe, but lets celebrate!! Your only 21 on the 21st once!! So here's to another week of craziness for the Robinson's.......bring it!!!!    :]Dear Family,


It's so weird hearing about you all preparing for Nate's wedding! And me not having a part in it ha ha woa. It's still like...whahh? SALLY!! Tell her i will be getting a letter out soon! It's been so crazy here i just don't have time. People like to schedule things on our preparation days ha ha. Lizzie had a baby?? Wow congrats! That's so exciting! James and basketball eh? I've been playin a lot too! We'll have to have a good 1 on 1 when i'm home ;)


Ok so first off, i forgot it was my birthday this week ha ha. Well i remembered last week but i don't think it has hit me yet. It's a strange thing this mission does to ya.

So last week we had an Elder come home from California that we were able to be companions with for a day! He came home and wasn't able to be released until the next day. It was so fun! It was funny because we happened to have interviews with President Nilsen that day and he was able to tag along. We all talked him into acting like he was just a new missionary and try to get in an interview with him ha it was hilarious..until i had to spill the beans. He took me in and had the interview but before we left he grilled me on him ha ha so i had to tell him. He knew he wasn't one of his missionaries but wanted to make sure he wasn't just having a senior moment ha ha even though he's only 52. It was a great day though.

Right now in the ward there is some interesting things happening....on the dating side of things. Brother Weaver had a girlfriend in Utah that he met for the first time on Saturday and they are planning on getting married already. Woa! They are so perfect for each other though! It's almost scary how perfect they are. So we were able to meet her and talk with her when we went over for an investigator lesson on Sunday. It was great. The other thing is with Linda Bell...ha ha she's going to singles activities and at the moment has her sights on another member who we call The Johnson. He is probably my most favorite person! He's had a rough life but is ALWAYS smiling. He's had a couple car accidents that have really messed him up and he has some brain damage along with that. But right now since we just baptized Linda, we're like the middle-men kinda in this ha ha. When something happens she calls us all excited. It's so fun. She really does deserve happiness and they are great together! It's a pretty fun time right now. There is so much love in the ward right now :/ it's funny.

 This last Sunday we went on a investigator search to get them to church ha ha. It was actually quite a miracle we found them! It was for Kaylee and Tristian who's mom is a member we are reactivating. It's going really well!! But the kids live with their dad on the weekends and he isn't so willing to get them to church. This past weekend they were there and Amanda their mom could not get a hold of them at all and she had been calling for days trying to get a hold of them. She was basically pretty afraid something had happened to them. So we said a prayer Sunday morning and felt prompted to go find them, so we got the address from Amanda and started on our way, having absolutely no clue where this house was ha ha! It is in another area that we have been in like 3 times between the both of us. So we started driving and we got pretty far in the area just taking turns where we though we should, again not knowing where we were or how to really get back home. We eventually were pretty lost and didn't know what to do until we came to a street named Xenia Dr. I was like "ha, maybe it means Xenia Elders drive here." So kind of jokingly we turned on it and that street led us to the exact street we were looking for! We were dying oh my gosh it was so funny. So we took that road to the house and right as soon as we found the house they pulled up but only because they had to run inside to grab something. So we jumped out and said hi and talked for a bit and found out they were with their grandpa not their dad, which was a good thing! So after we left we called Amanda and told her and she was able to get a hold of them. It may sound like a small thing but it was still a miracle! We were literally led by the spirit every step of the way! It was such a cool experience.

It's been a great week that's for sure. This week will be even better! We have some great lessons lined up already and we're so looking forward to them. Plus some of our investigators are making a birthday cake for me on Saturday at the Weavers :) i love these people. I just love being a missionary. It is too amazing. Mom and Dad, I too can say for myself, the day i left for my mission is the day my life was saved. I am SO grateful i have this opportunity to serve. I don't know where or who i would be with out this gospel and this mission. I love it so much. And i don't want to come home! Ha ha. I thank Heavenly Father everyday for this opportunity and for the influence of my family. You are all so wonderful! I am so grateful He watches over you and it is so cool to see so many blessings coming to you!

I love you all! Have a great week!!! Be safe!!
