Elder Rob is doing really good and loving his mission. He has a new companion who is actually from Magna area and graduated from Cyprus High School a year before Rob...that's kind of crazy...they are busy spreading the gospel. He has really experienced his share of door knocking...he said at one time they knocked on about 300 doors and spoke to about 30 people of the 300....WOW! He has experienced a lot of anti mormon sentiment, and that has been hard to deal with, but still, he knows they move forward with the gospel regardless. They have had about 6 baptisms so far, love their wards (I think they are over 2 or 3) and especially loved General Conference a couple weeks ago. He mentioned that he wished it could of gone on....the missionaries hung out at the Stake Center all day long...it was great as he put it. He really enjoyed President Monson's talk at the Priesthood session as well as others....
We got an email from a member of his ward, Sister Renee Ransom. She fed 4 of the missionaries dinner and sent us pictures of the guys. It was a great experience for her to bring these young men into her home and share a meal with them. She said "The ward enjoys taking care of "our" missionaries and I especially do since we have a missionary out at this time"....they are really being taken good care of by the members in Hermiston..that makes me happy, and it was good to hear from her and see these current pictures. It's a great day in Hermiston Oregon...we love our missionaries.
