Hola, Hola!
Today is a beautiful day here, the sun is shining and it's the perfect weather. We've been having a lot of days like this and it makes me happy. The rain season is supposed to come soon and so we're cherishing everyday with the sun shining bright. I received the package in the mail! Thank you! :] I am waiting till Friday to open it, I can't wait to see what's inside!
This past week we had the opportunity to meet a seventy, his name is Elder C. Scott Grow. Him and his wife came and we individually got to shake their hand and introduce ourselves. He then spoke to us about missionary work. He served a mission and has been a mission president twice. He knows what he's doing when it comes to missionary work, haha. I really enjoyed everything he said. It was amazing! One thing that particularly stuck out to me was how much he emphasized family. Family is the center of God's plan for us. Satan is doing everything he can to attack families. There is so much going on in the world that can and will break families apart if we aren't careful. He bore testimony of Jesus Christ and that He lives, that our Heavenly Father lives and love us so much. He bore testimony of how real Satan is too. We have got to be careful, we have got to stay strong. I am going to include the link to The Family Proclamation & please read it! http://lds.org/family/proclamation?lang=eng He told us that whenever the First Presidency comes out with something, you know that it's IMPORTANT. That is the reason we should pay very close attention to this and how we can protect our families and have happiness in our homes! I love it. :]
Guess what?! One of our investigators, Saul, came to church yesterday! YAY! It was a perfect day yesterday. It was another beautiful, sunny day and we had an investigator come to church with us. It was the primary program which is probably my favorite program of the year in church, just sayin! It was soooo cute. I love kids. I love the spirit that I felt yesterday watching them sing, bear testimony, and teach of simple, but eternal truths. We hope that Saul enjoyed church, we think he did. We have a lesson with him tonight, so we will see him tonight! Our branch members are so welcoming and I am amazed at their examples & testimonies. They just take them right under their wing as if they've known them forever. It's awesome, I love this branch!
Transfers are next Monday, so we'll find out this Saturday. I think I will be transferring, I'm not positive though! We will see. You will know next Monday! You should probably start sending all mail to the Santa Rosa California Mission address from now on, so that they can forward them to my new area.
If I do transfer, It will be bittersweet for sure. I will be so sad to leave this area. My "birth" place in mission lingo and I will always remember the wonderful branch members, the investigators, my companions that I've grown so close to, the people I've loved and who have loved me back. It will be hard, but I know that I will go to somewhere that I will meet more AMAZING people. I know that everything is in the Lord's hands and that gives me so much comfort. I will get transferred to where I need to be at that time exactly like I got sent here to Novato for this amount of time.
Thank you for EVERYTHING that you do! I love all of you so much!! Have a wonderful week.
con mucho amor,
Hermana Robinson
