Matt's letter

11/3/08
Well mom I thought that I would write you a little on the internet since I have been so busy and not able to write. I got a new companion on Monday and I think he is prbably my favorite companion. He is from Payson, UT and we are alot alike. He loves riding snowmobiles and is a farm kid so we get along pretty well. We have 9 people with a date to get baptized and it is going to be a challenge to get all of them baptized. The best ones are Jason Wolf, Sarah Kamara and James and Jasmine Campbell. THe ones that are going to be hard are Innocent and Flora Akongo, Emme and Josaphine Kamara, and Napolean Gae, but it should all work out. We had Stake Conference here in Fargo this last Sunday. I had to speak in the adult session of conference about missionary work it went pretty good. Today we had Zone leader Council W/ the Souix Falls and Bismark Zones here in Fargo. Our meal turned out really well we had way too much as usual. I think I do that every time I cook for groups but its better to have to much than not enough. This transfer is going to be good. We are working hard and seeing the blessings flow from it. The weather is still pretty good here we have had one snow storm but that was a week ago and it is all gone and it was in the 60s today so we are enjoying that. I think this will be my last transfer here in Fargo it is kinnda hard to think that because it has become home in the last 7 months but who knows maybe I will get another one here. I enjoyed dads letter it sounds like things are doing good and everything is going to work out. Mom I hope to get the Conference CDs soon I enjoy going through them and re-listening. James and Jasmine Campbell are the kids that take the Friend and New Era. They look forward to them every month. Thank you for all the support that I get. I heard from Chandler that Todd Simmons is the new Stake President there but he didnt say who the councilors were. Our Stake President here is President Ransom he is very good. He has been in for a year so far. We get along pretty well but he is always making me speak and do all the exta stuff but that is ok. At stake conf. we got to listen to the new Temple president in Bismark. They just started on Friday. It is PResident Reese he served in this mission when he was 19 and then served as a mission President here from 97 to 2000 and now is back to be a temple President. This must be his place in the Kingdom to work. He gave a great talk. I better get going I think that this will be my weekly letter so I hope there is enough info in here for you. Write me soon. Thank you for everything Love Elder Robison
