Devour

We had a baptism this week. Just one lady named Disebo. It went well and her daughter is even now on date for March.. so we'll see how that goes.

Before I forget, I was thinking... my b-day is coming up.. now I don't really want anything too much.... but i was thinking. I just finished reading Jesus the Christ this week, amazing by the way, and now I just want to devour all of Talmage's writings. Not only is he an inspired revelator but he is an amazing writer. So I was thinking for a b-day present... either the complete works of Talmage (besides jesus the christ) or simply "The Great Apostasy"...that book I am dying to read. That would be awesome.

For my studies right now I'm planning on reading through the New Testament and then going to BOM, D&C, and Pearl of GP, ending with the old testament. All the while finishing the missionary library, pmg study, and any other books I have or that you might send. Yes, I am loving learning to much about the gospel...I've already learned a lot and still have so much more to learn.

The area is getting better. We have a couple of father-led families that we're teaching now. That's always exciting. One of the fathers came to church on Sunday. That was awesome since he works most Sundays but the one he had off he came to church! This particular one doesn't even speak English very well. In our last visit he was speaking Sotho with our branch mission leader, and Shona with my companion Elder Jasi, and I was just lost. It was cool though.

Right now we have 5 people on baptismal date and are working on more. I'm still
healthy and working hard. My area is very safe and is so ready for the gospel. I'm
excited to see where this area will go before I leave! I love you all and always love the support you give!

Love, elder robinson
