Dear friends and family how are things going. you are probably done with potatoes by now. I am sure that you are happy about that. How was the harvest? It is amazing how fast two weeks goes when you aren't thinking about digging potatoes. It always seemed like a long time when I was there. Two weeks isn't very long at all. I did get to see some potatoes dug though. We were in Park Rapids Minnesota and they even have pivots there. It was very cool to see. I was on my way to Bemidji when I saw that. I love to drive there it is my favorite place to go just because of the drive. Things are going well here in Fargo. Mom when is Todd coming back to Fargo? I think that I am getting transferred this time. I feel that it's time. Transfers are on the 25th I believe. This transfer is going to be different. We are going to get calls on Saturday night and then pack on Monday then move on Tuesday. We usually get calls on Wednesday then move on Thursday, but it is different now for good. We have a lot of good investigators and I think a lot of them will get baptized. I don't think that I will get to see it but that OK. It is time for me to move on. I'm sorry this letter is so late we have been doing a lot of traveling and everything else. The zone is doing good and things are moving along. I hope that everything is good back home. I hope to hear from you all soon. Thanks again for everything. Love Elder Robison

Well mom your guilt trip worked and I am writing you another letter today. We have a lot of investigators right now. Our best is probably the Africans. We have about ten people that are all kind of related. The one that sticks out is a guy named Jason Wolf. He is our only white guy. He is married to a member girl. They are in their early 20's. They are really cool. He has a goal of being baptized before the end of the year, I thin that they will make it. Things are going well. I have been here in Fargo for about 6 months. Between here and Huron I have spent 1/2 of my mission. It has been a good year. Time is winding down. I have 5 transfers left and the one that I am in feels like it took 3 weeks instead of 6 so it won't be long. I am thankful that I was able to go on a mission. It is an awesome experience. I once heard it put this way--It is a million dollar experience you wouldn't pay a dime to do again. Really it has been good. I have grown a lot in a year and am still learning a ton. I am excited for life though. I used to worry about the economy and if I would ever be able to make it, but in the past few months that fear has gone away. When I get home I plan on going to LDS Business College. Elder Perry my trainer is going there. He says it is really cheap and easy. For my schooling history that is exactly what I need. Thank you all for everything that you do. I hope that everyone stays safe through the holidays. Mom thank you for all the extra support. Love Elder Robison
