To whomever it may concern. hahaha
This week has been good. I had
my first exchange with my district leader on Monday from lunchtime on
Monday to lunchtime on Tuesday. It was an interesting experience to be
in a different area teaching people I have never met before. We talk one
guy who is an inactive member: he served a mission in Haiti and i think
hi s Dad was even the mission President but now he is inactive. How
that happens I will never understand. It was a good experience to change
of the routine a little and see some more of the areas here. It was
strange to sleep in someone elses bed and know that someone else was
sleeping in my bed.... Yesterday we had our last meeting with President
Lee before he finishes his mission next Friday and President Douglas
comes. It was a Good meeting. he is finishing strong but you can kinda
tell that he is excited to be finished.
We have 4 investigators with baptismal dates for my birthday!: Manuel
Luna, Juan, Clara and niño. How great of a birthday present would that
be?! Speaking of birthday presents Nikelle gave me permission to open
the birthday package she sent me so I opened it last week and inside
was: the rest of my ducks, a little blue journal just like the one I
asked you to look for mom and yes its in that briefcase and I cant
remember the combination.....,a t shirt with HLJ (CTR) on it in the
shape of the superman emblem, a rock, a pine cone (silly earthy things
from home), 3 awesome ties, 2 letters, and a little mini sd cards that
was supposed to have voice recordings on it but it only had 6
pictures.....Sorry Nikelle, I dont know what happened, I dont thing the
card got swipe clean in transit, what I think happened was that you
recorded all the recordings onto the internal memory not knowing it and
thinking that you were recording them onto the memory card in which case
you still have all the recordings on your recorder. Sorry I didnt teach
you how to change the settings to record to the memory card.....I am
quite alright but Im sure you are a little disappointed.....
Im so glad my package made it! do you like all the stuff I sent? I dont
know if I will try that again, kinda stressful, I have heard horror
stories of packages sent home that didnt make it at all or took like 8
months to get there and the box was beat to heck. So I think I will just
collect the things that I really want to bring home for everyone and
just bring them home with me at the end of my mission.
Happy Fathers day dad! sorry Im a little late......
The big struggle
we are having right now is failed appointments: we set appintments with
investigators and they just arent home or are leaving as we get there or
are sick and obviously there are some good excuses but its frustrating
to study and be ready for a lesson and you show up and they arent
home.... And then the part that makes me a little mad is when we see
them later in the week in the street or wherever and they say: why didnt
you come by my house the other day? assuming that we didnt when we did
and we say that we did and at what time and then they say: oh yeah i was
at the store or whatever other excuse they have. but they knew they
werent home and they just assume that we didnt come by when we did and
then place the blame on us.......There are some things about the people
here that are very frustrating.
We have a zone goal to have 36 baptisms this transfer 3 of which are
supposed to be ours but Im not sure if we are going to meet that goal. I
have faith and I want to do it but the people just dont understand and
dont act and i feel like it is partially my fault for not being able to
help them understand the importance that the gospel and especially going
to churh has. Manuel Luna is doing really well and Im almost 100% sure
he will be baptised on the 7 of July.
Elder Johnson and I are staying positive and working hard. Despite the
set backs and the difficulties we are happy and working to have the
spirit and more faith in the people.
I hope and pray all of you are well and happy.

June 6, 2012 Handwritten Letter (rec'd 6/20/12)
June 6, 2012 Handwritten
Letter
Family,
Hopefully by now my package has gotten to you and you are
enjoying some fun things that I found/acquired. Hey do you know what kinds of things I’ll need to claim on
customs when I come home? I know
we’ve still got a long way to go but it’s good information to know. I’m sure I’ll have to claim my
machete(s) that I’ll buy before I leave.
Hey it’s tradition and there are some really cool ones. Let me know will ya?
I’ve started collecting bottle caps because they’re cool and
they’re everywhere! Gutters, in
the street, in colmados, stores, supermarkets… I have a Pringles can that I am filling with them. I’m also trying to collect a deck of
cards just from cards in the street that I find. I have 4 so just 50 to go (I want jokers too). Elder Johnson is also trying to collect
an entire domino set by finding dominoes in the street, right now he has 4/28
so he’s on his way. We are
weird. Oh! Also Pogs. I’m collecting pogs too. Remember pogs?
They are so fun. About 3-4
months ago you could get one in nearly every bag of chips you bought, but now
they’re just floating around. I
found a Star Wars one a few days ago!
So I had heard that there are monster toads here & I
finally saw one! He was HUGE! Unfortunately for him he was also
dead…. He looked like Jabba the Hutt with his tongue sticking out.
The Promise of Repentance
Moroni 6:8
D&C 58:42
Isaiah 1:18
The Lord has promised us so many things if we repent!
-to be forgiven and free of guilt
-to have our slates wiped clean before Heavenly Father and
He remembers them no more
-to be clean
And the list goes on & is infinite as is the
Atonement. Repentance is a gift
given to up by our older brother, Jesus and sometimes it’s scary, but it’s
worth it every time!
Conference quote:
“I remember looking through tears toward the sky, and I said, “Dear
Father, I just can’t do it tonight.
I’m too tired. I can’t face
it. I can’t go home & take
care of all those children alone.
Could I just come to you and stay with you for just one night?” I didn’t really hear the words of
reply, but I heard them in my mind.
The answer was: “No little one you can’t come to me now…but I can come
to you.”
I love this talk/
We always have the promise of Heavenly Father to have him with us
through the spirit if we are worthy and truly want it. I want to say thank you Mom and
Dad. This talk was to single
mothers but I’m sure there have been times in your lives where you’ve both had
similar thoughts as this good sister in the story. Thank you for all you’ve done for me in my life. Unfortunately most of it went unnoticed
by me and I didn’t say thank you enough & it’s kinda like not knowing what
you had until it’s gone. Now I’m
on my own & am gaining greater appreciation for all you do.
Thank you,
Hunter

June 13, 2012 Email letter "P-Day Santiago"
June 13, 3012
Dear Family,
It´s p-day Santiago again. It changes every transfer so this new transfer we got p-day santiago the first week.
Thanks for the pictures and the updates. Food to hear the garden is coming in nice, go family! you´re awesome!
I´m sad to hear that my package has not yet made it home......from what I heard it should have gotten there on Friday......hopefully it gets there someday........
I don´t have a cd player but we do have a little dvd player to watch training videos that also plays cds. We can listen to hymns, motab, classical and instrumental, and stuff like voicemale and other a capella groups and other groups that do hymns. I want you to send me the hymns cd by Kalai ask Nikelle she knows what I´m talking about.
I honestly don´t think that I know anything about the candidates to vote so no, I don´t want to vote.It would be cool but I feel it would be wrong to vote for Mit Romney (he´s still in it right?) because he is LDS and not Barak Obama. I want to be able to make a smart informed educated decision even if I would vote for Mit anyway and I cannot do that right now.
I GOT A PACKAGE FROM HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thanks and Elder Johnson says thanks too. thanks for the ducks I plan on making some little Dominicans smile with those little guys. Elder Johnson thinks it´s so silly and it is. Thanks for the letters seriously they are like GOLD!
Mom I´d like to say sorry: sorry for all the times you came home from work and there was a mountain of dishes waiting for you and you cleaned them all just to cook dinner. I´ve experienced that a little here and it is definitely not on of my favorite things. We are constantly in a rush and it seems like there are always dirty dishes to clean and I can see now how not fun it is. Thank you for beiing so loving and patient with your oblivious children. And for those of you still at home: Schools out so there are no excuses help out around the house and do some dishes so mom can play this summer too. She´s pretty cool and is a lot of fun.
We have been eating quite well: this week we made pizza bagels and Manicotti. yum! I love when a food experiment works out and tastes delicious. Thanks for the recipe book, I´m sure I´ll have to improvise with ingredients and measurements but it´ll be fun. Mom is there a way to cook chicken breasts and other meats prior to putting them in the oven? Can you just brown them in a pan? the thing is that the ovens here really don´t work that well: there´s 2 settings: barely warm enough to heat a pop tart and engulf your food in a fiery inferno. (I may have exagerrated a little) point is that the ovens dont work that great and it would sure be nice to cook the meat a little before sticking it in the cruddy oven to make sure we don´t get salmonila poisoning from uncooked chicken.
Taft is taking the world by storm way to go man. What do you do at the theater? concessions? projector tech?.....
Noah keep it up on the trombone and keep practicing lacrosse I want to play trombone and lacrosse with you when I get home.
Claire keep up the good work with the kid camp I know that was a special and fun experience for you last year and I´m sure this year will be no exception.
Dad thanks for all your support and the many talks we had on early mornings and late nights walking the streets getting exercise or working on cars, they are some of my fondest memories.
Well times almost up and I gotta write to Presidente Lee
Elder Hunter Robinson
Quick note to Nikelle: yes the return address on the letters you receive from me is the address you should send letters to for me and also if you don´t already know from the letter Elder Johnson would love to receive a letter(s) from your roomate(s) haha.

Email letter dated 6/6/12 - First Transfer - Done!
6/6/12
Dear Family,
So my first transfer has come to a close and I am here in San Franscisco de Macoris for at least one transfer more. President Lee finishes his call on July 1 (mid-transfer) and Pres. Douglas comes in so we´ll see how the new president does things. It would be cool to be with Elder Johnson for 3 transfers. This past week has been difficult with failed appointments and The members who say they will leave with us telling us when we call that they can´t. So we plan every night for the next day and it looks like a great day with planned appointments every hour and some every half-hour and then the next day nearly all the appointments fail and we end up walking a lot......Frustrating and tiring. We are trying to stay positive and have faith and stay happy and give the investigators the benefit of the doubt that they´ve read and have faith they will be home. It´s hard though.
I got a letter and a package from Nikelle!!!!
Nikelle you wanted me to put a little note at the bottom of emails if I got a letter or package from anyone but I love mail way too much and it´s way too exciting for a little note at the end. If I get any mail in any form you are going to know about it. That goes for everyone else too. haha
on sunday I got a letter from Nikelle and yesterday I got a package. She told me a week or two ago that she had sent me a birthday package so I assume that´s what it is so I have a month and a day to wait to open it. I´m going to try and be patient, we´ll see how it goes. The letter and the package both had very strange addresses on them though so it´s a miracle that they got here. my address for letters is:
Elder Hunter Robinson
SDQ 8013
P.O. BOX 025725
Miami, FL
33102-5725
U.S.A.
and that´s it copy that exaclty! you don´t need and probably shouldn´t put the mission name or anything else just that. Nikelle sent me an email that I read today and I think she has the packages address right but she had the letters address wrong. The letters address is the one above. It is the same one Sis. Johnson (Elder Johnson´s mom) uses.
I think the package that I sent should get there on Friday and if not very soon after.
Could you send me a pic of my on my unicycle
I love riesens send some of those again
Do you know if Sis. Hamilton has had any contact with her old mission companion I found?
Alright so we have heard about this weird thing by 3 or 4 different people here: according to these 3 or 4 people Pres. Obama has passed a law that starting in August everyone in the world will need to get a little microchip implanted in the right wrist or they will be killed. And without the chip you can´t buy, sell, work, live......Apprarently this is the fulfilment of the prophecy in Revelation 13:15-18 which does talk about a mark being put on the right wrist of everyone in the world and everything else that they have said. I think it´s bogus and that the people here are just a little too superstitious. but I thought I´d ask. there are a lot of funny things people say about the U.S.
We are happy and working hard and trying to have faith in the people. We talked with Elsa this week and She told us that she doesn´t want to be sealed to Gabriel and that when she dies she will just start over without him. She just doesn´t like some things about him. They obviously need to have a sit down and work some things out. I didn´t know that when I got a call to be a missionary It was also a call to be a marriage counselor......I don´t know how to help them. Gabriel is all in the relationship and she just isn´t. It´s so hard to see what could and should be an eternal family and she just doesn´t want it bad enough to work out her issues with her husband.
I´m so proud of everyone for their hard work in school. Noah my man! you´re out of elementary school and on to the big times, way to go kid. Claire you are now done with Junior High and are going from immature drama to really immature drama in high school, good luck. haha. You and taft better let me know ho you guys did on the ap tests. And your GPAs. Taft I´m so proud to be your brother, keep up the good work and chase those dreams. Work hard all and make sure to have FUN! It´s summer! crazy.
Mom thank you for all you efforts with Justice. I know it has a positive affect. Do you know if he has received any of the letters I have sent?
Dad how are you? I haven´t heard from you in a couple weeks, I know you are busy with a lot of things. Question: The John that came with Peter and James to confer the Melchizedek Priesthood of Joseph Smith is John the Beloved right? the one that´s still on the earth? That would mean he needed to be tranfigured or transported or something awesome like that to be there right? it´s not really a doctrinally important question and probably one that we cal only speculate about but it´s something I was thinking about. Anxious to hear your thoughts.
It´s still hot and we are foreer sweating. Elder Johnson´s Birthday is tomorrow and he got a package from his family as well with a bunch of a capella music voice male, eclipse, octa pella. so we´ve been enjoying that.
I love you all and think and brag about you often.

Handwritten letter dated 5/9/12 and 5/13/12
5/9/12
Family!
I got the Easter package! Thank you for all the goodies. All I need now is a nice tall glass of milk to go along with all the chocolatey goodness. But here's the think: the milk here tastes bad & you technically don't need to refrigerate it...maybe there is somewhere you can get good milk and I just haven't found it yet.
Crikey Mate! I caught m'self a l'zard on Fridy - it was a l'ttle one but a lizard nonetheless.
One Monday we had a new missionaries meeting in Santiago so we had to ride a bus for 1 1/2 - 2 hours to Santiago and if Dominicans know how to do anything really well it's jam 90 people into one bus. They are professional clown car packers! (Hunter drew a clown face with colored pencils) So we get squished in this bus & the girl sitting next to me was so squished she had to put her arm around behind me so I leaned forward. It was pretty awkward for me. The meeting was all in Spanish and I think I understood fairly well. I took the letter Sis. Hamilton gave me to give to one of her old companions if I ever found her. I gave it to Pres. Lee & he immediately know who I was talking about. Apparently she is the wife of the area Pres. here. He called her up & she said she would pick it up. I was so glad I found her. Found out if Sis Hamilton got a phone call or a letter or something.
A really cool, humbling story: So there is a couple in our ward who were baptized last month, Gabriel and Elsa. Gabriel is an amazing new member of the church and I will tell you why: Last week we were visiting & teaching them & Elder Johnson asked "Elsa, what's happening April 9, 2013" (in reference to being sealed in the temple) & she said "I don't want to". We asked her why and she said she'd tell us the next time we came. We went by a few days later & she told us that it's because Gabriel speaks harshly to her sometimes & she doesn't want to live w/ that person forever, which is understandable. So we said we'd talk to Gabriel about it.
Later in the week we sat down w/ Gabriel ready to give a boche (lecture). But that's not what happened. He explained his situation to us: Awhile back hewon a sum of money (he did not specify how much) with which he used to build his sons tattoo shop. Unfortunately the winnings were only enough to cover the columns & the walls, but they still needed a roof so Gabriel took out a 15,000 peso loan ($400 - it's 39 pesos to every $1) to finish the shop. Now he receives 2800 pesos every month for retirement, 2400 of which goes to the loan & he uses 300 of it to pay tithing, so every month he is left with 100 pesos ($2.50).
This obviously puts a strain on his relationship with Elsa because she wants to be taken care of & has some medical problems, which is understandable. Sometimes people give them money & occasionally they benefit a little from the tattoo shop. Needless to say, we were very humbled. He is a strong member of the church, he said he's basically living off of faith. He's a good father, good husband, & faithful member of the church. His faith rivals that of lifelong members ad he has been a member a little over a month.
We talked to him about love & how we need to say & show our love, especially to your wife. Elder Johnson gave him 100 pesos: 50 to buy a cake for Elsa (one of her favorite things) & the other 50 for medicine she needs. He also committed to tell her that he loves her twice every day.
We talked to Gabriel on Sunday & he said he had bought the cake & a soda for Elsa & when he came home her eyes got really big & she was really happy. He gave her a kiss & told her he loved her. Hopefully things improve for them.
I want to tell my wife that I love her everyday & make her laugh everyday & most importantly show her that I love her. It's true what they say: the mission changes & shapes you into a better person. I wanted to do all those things before but now it has been reinforced & I have seen the importance of it just a little more now. (Hunter did a rubbing of his name tag - Elder Robinson - in red, white and blue).
This is a Dad quote translated into Spanish: CREATURAS DE LOS PROFUNDIDADES VENGAN FUERA! HAHA (Creatures come up from the depths - When Russ calls the kids up from downstairs he says "Creatures from the depths!)
You'll probably get this letter after Mother's Day so Mom, Happy Mother's Day. It was so nice to talk and see you. haha (Hunter drew me a bouquet of flowers with colored pencils). I loved the card you sent. Those missionary cartoons are funny.
I've been kinda sick lately. I've had headaches and a cough and nasty mucus & congestion & my throat hurts in the morning & at night. I lost my voice for a day so that was kinda fun. But don't worry, I'm much better now. we've still gone out to work & by God's grace I've been able to talk and teach. I have a ton of drugs: Vitamin C tablets, throat spray, acetaminophen, and mucinex. Sis Lee knows how to take care of sick missionaries. I was hesitant to tell you this (mom) because I didn't want you to be worried SO DON'T BE! I'm doing fine & in a few days I'm sure everything will be back to normal. It's been fun to talk with a relly deep voice though.
Today Elder Johnson flooded the laundry area. He left the water on too long & it over flowed. We had a good laugh as we cleaned it up. Then we went to work.
The main problem we are having with investigators is them not reading and not acting. Everyone here believes in God & Jesus which you would think would be good. But they hear we have a message about Jesus Christ & they always listen & participate because it's the word of god. They say they'll read & they say they'll come to church & they say they have faith, but their faith is dead because they don't ever do anything! They don't read, pray, come to church... We've been delivering boches (lectures) left & right because their faith is dead & they need to revive it! They love to talk about God but when it comes to reading the words of God it's just not as important to them They love to talk with us about God, but when it comes to talking to God they say they can't. And we always say "Well, you've been talking with us, are we more important than God?" Of course not. Then we bring in some 2 Nephi 32:8: "The spirit teacheth a man to pray...for the evil spirit teachetha man that he mus not pray, but teacheth him that he must not pray." "Therefore, Hermano, who is winnin? The Spirit of God or the spirit of the Devil?" It sounds harsh but we spend 10 minutes telling them that praying is easy & God wants to hear from them.
One investigator we have that is progressing is AniLeidi. She is 15 & will be baptized on the 16th of this month (May). She kinda hit us hard yesterday because she said that we would forget her and never look back after we leave the area. Elder Johnson showed her a page in his BOM where he has written the names op people he has taught. I told her that I was definitely coming back here someday with my spouse & say "This is Ani-Leidi, I taught her & she was baptized while I was here. She is a strong, faithful, & active member of the church." I realize it's kinda a big promise but it's true - I will come back someday. I'm not going to be one of those missionaries that forgets, I'm going to stay in contact with those I teach/taught.

Hey, it was super fun to see everyone today for Mother's Day. Sorry Mom I didn't send anything...I've heard sending packages home is pretty sketchy, but we'll risk it. I'll see you at Christmas & you'll definitely hear from me before then.
Elder Robinson
Family!
I got the Easter package! Thank you for all the goodies. All I need now is a nice tall glass of milk to go along with all the chocolatey goodness. But here's the think: the milk here tastes bad & you technically don't need to refrigerate it...maybe there is somewhere you can get good milk and I just haven't found it yet.
Crikey Mate! I caught m'self a l'zard on Fridy - it was a l'ttle one but a lizard nonetheless.
One Monday we had a new missionaries meeting in Santiago so we had to ride a bus for 1 1/2 - 2 hours to Santiago and if Dominicans know how to do anything really well it's jam 90 people into one bus. They are professional clown car packers! (Hunter drew a clown face with colored pencils) So we get squished in this bus & the girl sitting next to me was so squished she had to put her arm around behind me so I leaned forward. It was pretty awkward for me. The meeting was all in Spanish and I think I understood fairly well. I took the letter Sis. Hamilton gave me to give to one of her old companions if I ever found her. I gave it to Pres. Lee & he immediately know who I was talking about. Apparently she is the wife of the area Pres. here. He called her up & she said she would pick it up. I was so glad I found her. Found out if Sis Hamilton got a phone call or a letter or something.
A really cool, humbling story: So there is a couple in our ward who were baptized last month, Gabriel and Elsa. Gabriel is an amazing new member of the church and I will tell you why: Last week we were visiting & teaching them & Elder Johnson asked "Elsa, what's happening April 9, 2013" (in reference to being sealed in the temple) & she said "I don't want to". We asked her why and she said she'd tell us the next time we came. We went by a few days later & she told us that it's because Gabriel speaks harshly to her sometimes & she doesn't want to live w/ that person forever, which is understandable. So we said we'd talk to Gabriel about it.
Later in the week we sat down w/ Gabriel ready to give a boche (lecture). But that's not what happened. He explained his situation to us: Awhile back hewon a sum of money (he did not specify how much) with which he used to build his sons tattoo shop. Unfortunately the winnings were only enough to cover the columns & the walls, but they still needed a roof so Gabriel took out a 15,000 peso loan ($400 - it's 39 pesos to every $1) to finish the shop. Now he receives 2800 pesos every month for retirement, 2400 of which goes to the loan & he uses 300 of it to pay tithing, so every month he is left with 100 pesos ($2.50).
This obviously puts a strain on his relationship with Elsa because she wants to be taken care of & has some medical problems, which is understandable. Sometimes people give them money & occasionally they benefit a little from the tattoo shop. Needless to say, we were very humbled. He is a strong member of the church, he said he's basically living off of faith. He's a good father, good husband, & faithful member of the church. His faith rivals that of lifelong members ad he has been a member a little over a month.
We talked to him about love & how we need to say & show our love, especially to your wife. Elder Johnson gave him 100 pesos: 50 to buy a cake for Elsa (one of her favorite things) & the other 50 for medicine she needs. He also committed to tell her that he loves her twice every day.
We talked to Gabriel on Sunday & he said he had bought the cake & a soda for Elsa & when he came home her eyes got really big & she was really happy. He gave her a kiss & told her he loved her. Hopefully things improve for them.
I want to tell my wife that I love her everyday & make her laugh everyday & most importantly show her that I love her. It's true what they say: the mission changes & shapes you into a better person. I wanted to do all those things before but now it has been reinforced & I have seen the importance of it just a little more now. (Hunter did a rubbing of his name tag - Elder Robinson - in red, white and blue).
This is a Dad quote translated into Spanish: CREATURAS DE LOS PROFUNDIDADES VENGAN FUERA! HAHA (Creatures come up from the depths - When Russ calls the kids up from downstairs he says "Creatures from the depths!)
You'll probably get this letter after Mother's Day so Mom, Happy Mother's Day. It was so nice to talk and see you. haha (Hunter drew me a bouquet of flowers with colored pencils). I loved the card you sent. Those missionary cartoons are funny.
I've been kinda sick lately. I've had headaches and a cough and nasty mucus & congestion & my throat hurts in the morning & at night. I lost my voice for a day so that was kinda fun. But don't worry, I'm much better now. we've still gone out to work & by God's grace I've been able to talk and teach. I have a ton of drugs: Vitamin C tablets, throat spray, acetaminophen, and mucinex. Sis Lee knows how to take care of sick missionaries. I was hesitant to tell you this (mom) because I didn't want you to be worried SO DON'T BE! I'm doing fine & in a few days I'm sure everything will be back to normal. It's been fun to talk with a relly deep voice though.
Today Elder Johnson flooded the laundry area. He left the water on too long & it over flowed. We had a good laugh as we cleaned it up. Then we went to work.
The main problem we are having with investigators is them not reading and not acting. Everyone here believes in God & Jesus which you would think would be good. But they hear we have a message about Jesus Christ & they always listen & participate because it's the word of god. They say they'll read & they say they'll come to church & they say they have faith, but their faith is dead because they don't ever do anything! They don't read, pray, come to church... We've been delivering boches (lectures) left & right because their faith is dead & they need to revive it! They love to talk about God but when it comes to reading the words of God it's just not as important to them They love to talk with us about God, but when it comes to talking to God they say they can't. And we always say "Well, you've been talking with us, are we more important than God?" Of course not. Then we bring in some 2 Nephi 32:8: "The spirit teacheth a man to pray...for the evil spirit teachetha man that he mus not pray, but teacheth him that he must not pray." "Therefore, Hermano, who is winnin? The Spirit of God or the spirit of the Devil?" It sounds harsh but we spend 10 minutes telling them that praying is easy & God wants to hear from them.
One investigator we have that is progressing is AniLeidi. She is 15 & will be baptized on the 16th of this month (May). She kinda hit us hard yesterday because she said that we would forget her and never look back after we leave the area. Elder Johnson showed her a page in his BOM where he has written the names op people he has taught.

Handwritten letter, dated 5/16/12/ and 5/22/12 (received 5/30/12)
May 16, 2012
Nosnibor's, (our last name backwards - a funny little thing we do sometimes)
It was so good to see everyone on Sunday, that was awesome. When the camera came on and there were like 10 people there that was cool. Robert, the internet cafe owner, was really surprised and thought there was a party going on haha. I am so blessed to have a big, loud, happy, loving family Thank you for the conversation and the laughs.
Thanks to everyone for the emails and pictures, especially Katie and Gabe - this week with their cruise pictures. It looks like it was so fun! Sea turtles & stingrays & awesome sunsets. Yup, yup, yup.
We are teaching this guy, Oscar, who is in med school right now so he's super busy. But the semester is winding down & he told us he is trying to learn English so we gave him an English Book of Mormon and he told us he's going to read it. We are excited for him. Last week we prayed with him to ask if this is Christ's true church, if the Book of Mormon is true, & if Joseph Smith was a prophet. He received his answer in a big way & it was a spiritually powerful experience.
I'm sorry I don't have a lot to say right now...life is good & I'm trying to be a disciple of Jesus Christ and a better representative of Him everyday.

5/22/12 Tuesday
Okay so this is a continuation of last week because we've not seen the Zone Leaders or District Leaders. Well we have, but it wouldn't make a difference because I will be hand delivering this letter to the mission office in Santiago tomorrow because we have P-DAY SANTIAGO!!!
This week has been good. It's been really hot! The National Elections were on Sunday and Danko (sp) won. I don't know what that means but he won. Needless to say, there were a lot of people getting drunk and huge parties everywhere so we came home early (a little after 7) on Sunday and Monday too. We had tons of people telling us to be careful & rightly so, but it was kinda funny to hear everyone blow it way out of proportion. At no point did we feel threatened or in danger. In fact, it was more weird & eerie today because there was no one outside or in the street and there wasn't as much music playing everywhere. It was quiet, which was weird.
Elder Johnson flooded the apartment last Thursday with the laundry machine. There was quite a bit of water in the kitchen. laundry area, and front entry way. This is the second time he's done it & I laughed so hard. He didn't think it was very funny....
The Zone Leaders had 7 baptisms on Saturday! 2 families & one of our investigators (Oscar) were able to come.
We met this guy running in the street last week, Ernie-Joseph. He spoke to us in English & we gave him a pamphlet on the restoration & put an appointment to pass by. He lives at the "Hoger Crea" which is a voluntary addiction recovery home, and the residents help sell things to support the home. it was very cool to sit down with 4 of the guys there: Oswaldo, Noel, Esteban, & Richard & talk with them. They are men truly in the repentance process. In fact, the first thing they teach there is spiritual recovery. Super cool, we gave them Books of Mormon & I'm sure they'll read. While there I became friends with a very cute white and black fuzzy kitten. She really liked my backpack & played with the loose straps & curled up on it. It was good to see at least one well treated cat here. As we were leaving I said kinda as a joke that I wanted to take the cat with me, & they tried to give it to me. Here you have to be careful what you say because if you say you like something or compliment something they have they will try to give it to you.
The Luna family gave us some really little hard-boiled eggs from these little birds they have & I tried to make deviled eggs, I used mayo & very Dominican mustard (which smells & tastes kinda bad), so they mostly tasted like nasty mustard, but it was fun.
TODAY MARKS 3 MONTHS IN THE MISSION! WAHOOOOOOO!!!
I celebrated by buying a small ice cream cone & some cheese filled crackers - just like the ones we (me) always eat in Disneyland. 3 months isn't that big a deal but it is fun to celebrate anything really.
We are doing well and are excited for our investigators that are progressing, and are working hard to help those who aren't progressing to help them see why what we are asking them to do is so important.
The sun is hot, the people are great, I am happy and the gospel is true.
Elder Robinson
P.S. Did the flower I sent in this letter make it there alive? (Hunter sent a flower and a 5 pesos coin - the flower was pressed and dried very nicely :) He also sent a copy of something all in Spanish - looks like it may be Pres. Benson's talk and/or testimony of the Book of Mormon.

May 30, 2012 email letter "A Baptism, A Lizard and THE HEAT
May 30, 2012
Hello Family,
the first picture is Isaac our favorite little Dominican.
Anni-Leidi´s Baptism
Elder Johnson and Anni-Leidi
A Lizard
Father and son haha
IT´S HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!we are currently on the face of the sun sweating our butts off. The heat is crazy! and apparently it´s going to get a lot hotter. Why do people live here?! haha. no but seriously it is very warm here and sweat is my constant companion. I did get a haircut on monday so that helps a little.
Last Wednesday as I told you we had p-day Santiago which means we get to go to Santiago and Price smart which is basically costco in the D.R. and is the only place you can buy planters peanut butter and welch´s grape jelly and let me tell you, toasted PB&J´s are awesome and that probably sounds dumb after I just told you how dang hot it is to be eating a warm sandwich but their awesome. You gotta enjoy the simple things in life and mine right now happens to be PB&J´s. We also split a very large pizza that i felt a little sick after eating.... After price smart and stopping by the mission office to drop off mail we went to la calle del sol (sun street) which is just a crazy maze of streets where there are like a million venders selling everything you can think of especially shoes. I was able to find some fun trinket things and I sent them home in a package. I hope you get the package and everything is still in it when it gets there.....It was fun to barter with all the people with prices and different things. Elder Johnson is a professional barterer and did a lot of the bartering for me. He saw a really cool belt buckle of the D.R. flag that he wanted (for after the mission of course) and I really like it too so Elder Johnson bartered with the guy and I bought it and gave it to him for his birthday and father´s day: his birthday is one week from tomorrow and he´s my dad in the mission. hahaha. All in all it was super fun and I want to go back again. Also the last two weeks I have sent letters to Nikelle, Home, Katie and Jonathan (Nikelle´s Aunt´s son who was recently baptised) with peso coins in them and I learned after the fact that it´s a "universal rule" not to send money, especially coins in the mail......so I hope they all get to you.....I´m not really sure what that means, I figure it just means that there is a chance that the won´t make it you.
On Saturday we had the Baptism of Anni-Leidi and it was crazy: filling the font, baptismal clothes not fitting, trying to find other baptismal clothes that are too big, being unorganized.....insanity. But it all turned out fine and she is baptized and was confirmed on Sunday. On Sunday i also had the opportunity to give a blessing of comfort to Lewis Vincente hildalgo Vasquez (he had to tell me his name like ten times and I had to rehearse it like twenty times to remember it and get it right) he has tests in school this week along with a few others we gave blessings to and it was a good experience. So now I have Annointed in spanish, given a blessing for the sick in spanish, and given a blessing of comfort in spanish. wow.
On monday we had the last new missionaries meeting and upon arrival Pres. Lee shook my hand and said "Elder Robinson how are you?"
"good"
"how is your health"
"great"
"You need a haircut tomorrow. You are not a hippie, you are a missionary"
hahahaha. A loving lecture from Pres. Lee. So I did get a haircut that night and Elder Johnson has clippers so I slapped a 4 on there and went to town. Everything was going swell until I decided to shave some of the hair off my neck like mom does when she is finishing cutting my hair. Well I had this thought that I should get Elder Johnson´s help but I just went for it and ended up shaving the hair off my neck all right like half way up my neck. hahahaha. Fortunately Elder Johnson knows a little about cutting hair and was able to save me, he tapered the back and made it look good. Thank goodness......funny experience.
I´ve been reading the conference ensign and everyone needs to read it! there were so many amazing talks given this last conference and mayber it´s because I´m a missionary and watched it as a missionary but I got so much out of it. Read it!
We have one investigator: Oscar who is studying medicine so he has a crazy schedule but he was able to change it some so that he can come to church on Sundays and right when we thought things were looking up and he was for sure going to get baptised a few days ago he told us that a little religion is okay right now but he doesn´t have time for it. He said he´ll keep reading the Book of Mormon and come to church sometimes but he can´t join the church right now because he won´t be able to keep the covenants he will make in baptism. He said that he is sacrificing peace right now to study and work and he´ll have peace later which essentially he is telling us that he will join the church when he retires.....We are going to keep teaching him and we hope that his eyes will be opened and he may see that it´s not too hard and that he can do it. Kinda frustrating but mostly sad that he is just kinda giving up for now because it seems too hard.
A couple days ago I was going to get in the shower and there was a lizard climbing on the walls so I chased him down and caught him as you can see by the picture. He was cool and almost whiter than me. haha.
