November 27, 2013 "Thanksgiving and a Baptism"

November 27, 2013

Dear Family,

This last week has been spent preparing our investigator as much as possible for his baptism. He will be baptized this Saturday and we are so stoked for him!!!! It´ll be my first baptism in nearly a year!

We are also planning a delicious thanksgiving feast for tomorrow. We´ll see how that goes. I´m confident everything will come out great except for the Chicken. Chicken is cheaper and easier to come by than turkey and we are poor missionaries so we are having Chicken for Turkey day. I´ve never cooked an entire Chicken before and I´m not really sure how it´ll come out. I feel kind of confident with the recipes that I have looked up and it doesn´t seem too difficult. I´ll let you know how it goes. We´ll have the chicken, gravy, mashed potatos, stuffing, crescent rolls, and a pudding pie. It should be great!
I think we have met our goal to go see a baseball game. We´ve had nearly all our lessons with our investigator with a member present and it has definitely shown in his progress and his preparation for baptism. I hope we get to go to a ball game.
I can´t believe that another transfer has gone by. Last week was transfers but we didn´t get changed because I´m training Elder Anderton and Trainers always spend 2 transfers with their ¨kids.¨ And from what Pres. Douglas has told me I´ll finish my mission with Elder Anderton seeing as how there are jsut 2 transfers left (this one and one more).
holidays are hard on missionaries but I want to work hard and endure to the end and not burn out. We´ll get to talk on Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!
On Friday we put on and activity for the ward and it came out perfectly we started a little late but we had several games and I´m pretty sure everyone had a great time. activities are super important to help a ward let off some stress and have some wholesome family fun.
Happy Thanksgiving
Merry Christmas
Elder Robinson
p.s. everyone make a list of at least 100 things that you´re thankful for and then tell your Heavenly Father each thing you are thankful for.
