"They told me I wasn't ready to hear the message"

Within the past 4 days a lot has happened :) #missionarylife Sunday was my favorite day. It always is. If you look over my journal entries I think every Sunday starts off with "My favorite day!" OR "Sundays are the best days ever!" It was fast and testimony meeting and it was incredible. We had a lot of wonderful people come to church and they were all so happy to be there! We also passed around the dinner calendar for the first time in months! People didn't know what it was Hahah, but they were so eager and excited! I love this ward. During Testimony meeting I was blown away with the Faith in our savior and their assurance that this is the true church. I felt as if I was sitting in a different church as they all went up. Each from a different culture and way of life. The man from Africa, the women who grew up in the bronx, the partially deaf single parent, to the stake President from Utah. It was amazing. I loved when one women went up and talked about her experience with going through the temple. She said "I am literally on fire! It is awuesomeee." (Insert Bronx accent). I loved it. I was sitting there in the front row with a huge smile on my face. These people truly love Jesus Christ and they have found the truth here. One man went up and told his experience with finding the church. He was sitting on a bench in Brooklyn drinking his eerie when he saw two Sister Missionaries pass by. He hollered at them and asked what they were doing. They told him and he said he wanted to learn more. They said "you aren't ready to hear this." He looked at them and said "oh yeah? Why not?" They said "because you asked really drinking a beer!" He got up. Dumped the beer out and crushed the can. Walked back over and said he was ready to listen. How amazing?! I love these people. This week I have been earnestly reading the Book of Mormon. I can't put it down when I open it. I love it! I know this book is true. I know Joseph Smith is a prophet of GOD and helped us have more of his word. I love my Savior, Jesus Christ with all my heart and am thrilled he works beside me everyday. I have the best job in the world! I love you all! Sister Robison
