Transfer Day!

Letter from 3/21:
Mom,
   I forgot to tell you in my email that yesterday we had 2 less active ladies come to church that I had been working on the whole time I have been here! We had a crazy lesson with a crazy person tonight. Russell, who is the Afghanistan returnee is doing good. We haven't got to sit down with him yet, but he is pretty interested, or so it seems.
   That is way cool you are doing Maddie and Josh's flowers! You are welcome for the business BTW!
   That is funny Dad is thinking of buying another Subaru. But you guys should honestly look into a little VW Diesel car. That's what I kinda wanna get when I get home! You can't beat 40 MPG!
   It's really cool Dad and Jeremy have been working out! Have they been lifting at all?
   To answer you about the emails..I actually like the 5 separate emails!
Well, I'm off to bed! Love ya!
Elder Cade Joseph Robinson

The boys were honorary chili cook off judges on Saturday. Cade looks like one got a tad spicy!

Elder Cade Robinson
P.O.Box 695
Many Farms, AZ

   The Google drive thing worked great! If you have any good music that you think is appropriate and that I would like send it on down by all Means!

The Chili cook off was so fun! There were some hot ones though! But my tongue is slowly but surely changing to love southwestern food! Green chili is the bomb!

Well I already sent my news! My new comps name is Elder Cook. And I will be living with 2 other elders that all cover the same branch. One of them was in my MTC district, Elder Peterson!

That is so sweet Aub placed and lettered! 

And those are some pretty sweet drawings!

How was gmas and gpas? I miss them so stinking bad sometimes and the cookies just made it a little worse cuz they were amazing!

It is getting to be nice here too i am just itching for General Conf to come around though so I can ditch the suit!!!!!

Well the goodbyes have been super sad here! and I have a lot more to go too! I have been sworn to have to come back to visit by a ton of people though and they all tell me I can stay in their spare rooms haha! 

Well Have a great Spring Break!

Love ya!

Elder Cade Joseph Robinson

This picture was sent to us today by the Cooks at what looks like a goodbye lunch. I have a feeling that we will not be graced with so many pictures as what sweet Sister Cook has kept us supplied with. We will miss her watching out for Cade!

Sacrament Talk

Letter from 3/10/14

Mom,
  Our new trailer is nice. I really like it. The bathroom is a little small, but there is a second half bath that's nice. We still live with the 2nd Ward Elders. That's a challenge, but we live with it. Today they ran into a van with their Tacoma, haha!
   So how has Idaho History been? How is Sam doing? So did Riss get a loan to buy the Subaru? How much was it?
   That's crazy about Oreo!
   Colty and Brooklyn emailed me. it was nice to hear from them! Heck, I don't know what you were worried about, they acted married since sophomore year!
   We haven't heard anything about iPads or Facebook yet, but thank you for accepting Tamara McCoy's request for me.
   I am curious...what is going on now with your presidency?
   I am glad that the ward is doing so well!
   That is funny Addy thinks she is so cool with her earrings! Haha!
   I will send you some pictures next Monday!
Love ya!
Elder Cade Joseph Robinson

We were talking to our Elders on Thursday about we hadn't gotten any pictures of Cade lately, when my phone went off with a text with some pictures from Sister Cook! Crazy!

 Then, on Sunday, I got another text from Sister Cook (who was chorister that day) saying "Look who's speaking in Sacrament!"

Email from 3/17/14
So how does my Butt look from the pulpit? My talk was on obedience and Elder Kays was on the B.O.M. One other girl spoke for a few minutes before me. The talks went really well we were both overly prepared!

I am glad your visits went well yesterday! 

How did Caitlyn Break her wrist again? 

I think it would be Hilarious if we were all in that same ward. Poor little Kimberly just wouldnt know what to do though! Haha

Transfer News is on saturday for us I am nervous but excited. someone in our trailer every transfer has got a call early in the day with a special assignment so we will see if that tradition keeps rolling!

So i havent been getting any letters until monday afternoon from yall. so i dont know what question you are talking about!

Is Sammy boy going to have to have his tonsils removed i remember i was in 4th grade when i had mine yanked too!

Alrighty

Love yall

I am kinda excited to see all the movies i have been/will miss. It sounds like there was some pretty good ones!

Alright here is the beef for this week! Monday was a We cleaned the old appartment just so it can be demolished our promising investigator moved to ohio! We picked up a new investigator who is missing half his left leg. We now have a ward mission leader! We found a potential investigator who just came home from afganistan.

Week 25

Letter from 2/24/14

Mom,

   Y'alls little dilemma that happened the other night sounds freaking hilarious from this end! BTW the music did work, it is just on Elder Kay's jump drive now, but I will get it sooner or later! Well I am super glad to hear everything went good for Colty and Brooklyn. That is cool grandpa was his escort. How are they doing with their car flipping endeavor? So, tell me more about Colty's new truck. What year is it? How much is the torque converter going to cost? 

   Well, you got me super excited about what you said about Lexi! That's funny but sad that Nick took it so hard! You could tell her his and I miss her too. HaHa! Well, I gotta go shower. Talk to you soon! 

Love ya!

Elder Cade Joseph Robinson

Email from 3/3/14:

Thank you for the pics! But first thing is first we do have a mail box at our trailer so you can send me mail at the 612 s ash Address!

Those shirts and the rope were all sweet Thanks!!!

That is super exciting about the Nuzios! And i think it is hilarious that you are like the Jaque Cook of the ward! Haha!

So the reason i am so late emailing today is first we had to go to durango for a Zone training then we had to clean out the old apartment! I ended up having to caulk and tomorrow i have to go back to finish patching up the wall. haha. But i am here now haha!

Love ya!

Elder Cade Joseph Robinson

It completely hit me about Friday last week that I had forgotten to post Cade's email! I figured I would just wait and post Monday's also, but didn't end up getting an email until yesterday due to the holiday! Oh, well. Here goes:

Letter from 2/3/14
Mama,
   Thank you all for the birthday presents! It was a fun but weird birthday! Sister Cook is awesome along with the rest of the members in the Cortez 4th Ward. And it will be so sweet to take a vacation down here! The gifts were all awesome!
   That is hilarious that Ris went out to celebrate my birthday by herself!
   I tried to force myself to eat oatmeal for breakfast a couple of days because it was cheap, but I couldn't do it!
   We have been visiting the Mexicans a couple of times a week again to kick them back into activity!
   How was the BYU Ambassador's concert? How was the Super Bowl? And how is gma Darlene?
   How is Sam doing? Has he made it back to school?
   Please deposit the check in here! Thank you and love ya!

    First off, Happy Birthday Dad! Second, Happy Valentine's to y'all!
    Well, a little rundown on this week so far: Monday for P-Day we had a pretty good game of B-ball with only one broken nose...but he was transferred. Elder Chavez, who we live with, is now district leader. Monday night we ended up giving 4 blessings. Then we just hung out at the Riffey's house the rest of the night. Yesterday, we had 3 investigator lessons. One of which was at the 1st Counselor's (in the bishopric) and that went super well. Hopefully that works out good in the end. Then we taught Jeremiah who is doing alright. Today we woke up at 6 to run, which we ended up running 2 miles. So we got some craycray goals for the transfer. I am going to try to hit 255! I have a few requests though. Please, please, please send me some more Pickle's seasoning. And all my pictures out of my album please! And if you get the chance, please send a CD of the soundtrack of Sons of Provo. Please and thank you.
Love you all!
Elder Cade Joseph Robinson

Email from 2/18/14
Mom,

So yesterday we couldnt email because of Presidents day but we got into mesa verde for free since it was presidents day! I have caught a few glimpses of the olympics and it does seem amazing to me how good they all do! I love the olympics!

 Thanks For the Valentines package! That tie is awesome! I havent burned my tie yet because we were in mesa verde all day!

   Elder Kay and i have been laughing, I got a wedding announcement for colty and so E.K. and i have been saying i bet he is crapping his pants right now! haha! Then elder kay got a wedding announcement the next day for one of his friends haha!

 My one story for the week, the probably coolest thing, was going to Mesa Verde the Lamanite culture is so interesting to me! How they built those cities is a wonder! one other is we went on exchanges with the zone leaders in durango... again. I think one of us is fixing to have a leadership calling because that is the third one and they dont go with any one else in the district except the district leaders!

Anyways have a good week!

Love Ya 

Elder Cade Joseph Robinson  

Happy Birthday Elder Robinson!

Elder Robinson turned 19 last Tuesday! Sister Cook made him a couple of his favorite treats on his birthday and then the Cooks had the Elders over for dinner on Thursday. How lucky we (and he) are to have such a wonderful ward take care of him!
