Email letter dated September 19, 2012 "Another Week"

September 19, 2012
 
Dear Family,

Elder Yépez and I are working hard. We have 2 baptisms scheduled for the 29 so that is really good. We have several investigators that are falling a little bit: not coming to church, not reading......It´s difficult to see this happen. It´s also hard to have investigators that all they need to do is get married and then they can get baptized. It´s quite frustrating.
I read the miracle of forgiveness. It truly is a miracle.
We had stake conference on Saturday and Sunday and it was good. I didn´t understand much of what was said but I feel it was good. The days go by quickly when you teach a lot. 
Recently it has been unbearably hot in the mornings and then has dumped rain in the afternoons. I am so thankful for the rain.
I don´t have a lot to say today..........
I would send a picture but for whatever reason this computer doesn´t like me.
I´m glad to hear everyone is doing well and that little savanna is healthy happy and growing. I´m so stinking happy Dad´s job is something he enjoys. FINALLY! 
Noah way to go on the bike ride and the lacrosse game. Have your lacrosse skills improved? are you practicing? how´s junior high?
On Monday I got a letter from Claire, Katie, Bishop Berry, and 2 from Nikelle. I feel so loved and cared for by my family.
One of the baptisms we have scheduled is Rody, he is 12 and can´t really read and kinda thinks and acts like he´s 8. I feel unsure if we should baptize him mostly because he has very little support on the homefront. His mom hasn´t shown much interest in the church at all and the guy that lives in his house (I don´t think it´s his dad or step dad) is some leader of a church I´ve never even heard of. He has a testimony and he has the desire to be baptized but if we baptize him are we setting him up to fail and sentencing ourselves and him to condemnation? I found myself asking the question Do I see him on a mission in 7 years? and I honestly don´t know how to answer the question....I have prayed and I need to pray a lot more to know what to do. I will probably fast as well. I need help on this one.
The work goes on and so does the heat.

Elder Robinson
