Dear Family,
Well I think I´ve told you all everything when I saw you on Sunday. But I can elaborate and tell you about some more things.
On
Monday we went to La Casa de Queso to see if we could get some real
milk from a real live cow and they had some! we bought a gallon for 90
pesos (2 dollars). We are very happy to have oreos and milk and to just
have good ol from the cow milk.
Also on Monday we had a district meeting and the zone leaders had a big
box for us which had many copies of the bible and book of mormon because
we have had many people here ask us to get them things. Also in the box
were my scripture cases!!!!!! They are sooooo cool.
We are teaching the Luna family and brother Luna was excommunicated some
time ago and is working his way back to the church and we are teaching
him and his family, especially their son Manuel who will be turning 8
soon so we´ll be preparing him for baptism. We went by their house to
deliver the books and things they wanted: 2 book of mormon, 2 bible, and
2 movies (testaments and together forever). we felt like santa clause
with all these gifts and things that we know they will use.
We had a combined zone conference with 2 other zones (Bonao and La Vega)
yesterday and we talked a lot about the book of mormon and the talk
´filling the world with the book of mormon´ (that may or may not be the
right title, I don´t know it in english so I´m trying to translate
it...) by Pres. Benson. It is an incredible talk. LOOK IT UP EVERYONE.
One point I´d like to emphasize is in the talk he tells us we need to
read and study the book of mormon EVERYDAY. Joseph Smith testified that
it is the most true book in the world and that we can become closer to
God by reading and living it´s precepts than by any other book. And I
add my testimony to this Prophet of the Lord that the Book of Mormon is
true and that it testifies of Christ and the very purpose of the book is
to convince all that Jesus Christ is our savior and redeemer.
One thing that I´d wished I´d done prior to the mission is research the
catholic church and just learn a little of what they believe. I find it
very interesting when the people here talk about saints and different
things and I wish I knew a little more. I know it´s not a necessity and I
don´t need to know about the other churches of the world to know that
the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is the true Church of
God. There is great power in telling the people "I don´t know a lot
about other churches but i can tell you what I do know, I know that this
is the Church of Jesus Christ and that Joseph Smith was a prophet and
that My redeemer Jesus Christ lives. I´m so grateful for the knowledge
that has been granted to me by my Heavenly Father through the Spirit.
These are not things you can gain a knowledge of by talking to men, you
need to ask God because these are things from and about God and there is
no one better to ask than the source-Heavenly Father.
I am happy and grateful for everything that I´ve been given and I hope
that the letters I have sent make it home and to their respective
places.
Love
Elder Hunter Allen Robinson
