Life is Great!

I know this is long but the letters came a few days apart.......

Dear Family,

Life is great! I'm getting all settled in. Just unpacked my stuff. Sittin at my desk thinkin about my amazing day. I am a missionary. It is official. I miss you all so much that I hate thinking about it because I just want to see all of you and hug you, but I'm doing much better than I expected I would be doing on my first day. I'm lost everywhere I go ha ha, but thank goodness for the other Elders and Sister missionaries. My companion is great. He is from Highland. His name is Elder Michael Morley. He's quiet sorta but I can tell he has a strong testimony. Haven't seen Elder Taylor or Elder DJ Doman yet, but I have a feeling I will. There's an incredible spirit here. Everywhere I go is just amazing. All the people here are amazing. Here, I feel like I learn so much easier. I don't feel like I am in school. It's much easier to pay attention here and learn. My favorite part here so far is the investigator classes. A person plays the role of someone who doesn't know of the gospel and it may sound a little cheesy and unreal, and sometimes it is, but if you really pay attention and treat it as a real situation, then you learn so much. The other thing I loved about today was singing. We sang with all the new missionaries in one big room. It was pretty amazing. I am safe. I am tired. I am happy. The chocolate milk here is a dream come true. My P-day is on Monday. I can receive letters whenever and read them that night, but I can only write and send my letters out on Mondays. James better be writing a letter to me right now about how he is doing and about the fam. Oh and about that last test message I didn't get to see ha ha. Send me letters as often as you feel you want to. Let Sadie and Sally know about my P-day, and tell them they're wonderful and I love them. Did you bring the pillow, movies and letter to Sadie? I hope so. It means a lot that she gets those. Anyway it's about 15 min form bed time and I'm exhausted, and thirsty ha ha. I love you all so much. Stay safe. I am praying for each of you.

Love~

Elder Chrys Adam Robinson

P.P.P.S. Mom, Stop crying. ha ha. Love you.

Dear Mom~

I am doing well and adjusting to missionary life here. I have been called to be Senior Companion here to my companion Elder Morley. I've been feeling the spirit and love of you guys so much. I just found out that we are being taught in a new program called, the Pilot program. It's been up and running for about 4 months now. We're one of I think he said five branches here in the program. Out of like 200 or so. I am loving my teachers. They are so amazing. It's been a day and already I feel like I've learned so much. I'ts so easy to focus on the Gospel here. I've born my testimony like 10 times already ha ha. Never in my life have I done that. Every time was in front of a group. The last time was in front of our branch and branch President and his Counselors and they're wives. It was amazing. The spirit was strong but most the testimonies before mine were short, mine was kinda long ha ha. I got real emotional and everything then after that the missionary bore a wonderful testimony in which he got emotional. I love bearing my testimony. It always made me nervous to do so because I felt like it wasn't strong enough, I felt completely the opposite now. I feel more confident in myself and my testimony. Gosh it's only been a day and I feel like I have learned sooo much! It's amazing here! As long as I am working and reading it is lol. On the down time I think of home. I miss everyone so much. I worry about yo all. Send so many letters my way please! I love it! Dear Elder has worked out pretty well so far. It's pretty fast. I am loving it. I saw Elder Taylor Baker today. Had dinner with him. Also I saw Elder Rhen Andersen! Remember him? Huge guy from the old ward that I was friends with. Great guy. He's going to Russia! Been here for 4 weeks, and still has another 6 ha ha. Crazy. I'm looking out for Elder T.J. Monga. He should be here. Anyway I gotta go. Time for bed! I love you all! Send many many letters! Oh and I am sleeping very well actually ha ha I'm tired all day long. Thank you for your prayers. You are the best Mom ever!

Love~

Elder Chrys Adam Robinson

How life changes...

I have been having a hard time lately. I usually talk to my friend Laurie, but she passed away 15 months ago. I do have other friends, but I feel like their lives are so busy it would be unfair to burden them. So here I sit feeling the need to just unload.

These past two years have been really hard financially. One day you have a house the next you have to short sell it. One day you have rent money the next you have $20. It has put a lot of stress on the family. It is a hard time to find a job and that doesn't help either.

One day your husband goes to help at your parents house and is there for 3 minutes and has a tree branch fall on his head. It has been six months. He has changed in ways that I go to bed angry at him. I can not get over my anger. I cry and try to understand why he is doing things the way he feels they should be done. The little changes have made big issues in our marriage. I have been mad at him, but not like this. It's like I am mad at another person. I am trying to understand what he is doing and saying. I know he has a brain injury. I feel like I need to get to know him again. I love this man so much! I see him laughing with the kids and I think there he is and I want to hold on to it. It's not all bad, just different. He cries when he realizes that he is different and feels like he is letting us down. I know we will find a way to fix this it will just take time.

I'm not writing this to get the pity vote of the week. I am writing this to thank my Heavenly Father for my blessings. I have a beautiful family. The best ever. I feel he is waiting for me to make it through this challenge and move on to the next. An Eternal Family is worth working for. I have a loving husband. He loves me and tells me all the time. We know it will take time, but we will make it through together. I do know Heavenly Father loves me. I am grateful for his love every night as I pray myself to sleep. I am also grateful to all my friends. I have so many wonderful people in my life.

I thank you all for letting me unload. I love you all!
