It’s heating up over here!!

It's starting to heat up around here!!! The humidity is starting to make it uncomfortable.  Whenever we mention it to anyone, they laugh and say, "you just wait!"  After we play pickleball, we are soaked with sweat.  We have to make sure you drink alot of water to stay hydrated.  Last Saturday we went to the beach.  It felt so good to get in the water and cool off.  We are suppose to be in the rainy season, which will make the humidity even worse.  It's starting to rain more often, but  only lasts for a few minutes and then the humidity attacks!   Oh what fun it will be!

We met with President and Sister Granger last week regarding ways we can help ease their burden.  They are having us update a yearly calendar and directory type of book that they put together each year for the district presidents.  It lists the leadership positions in all of their branches and district.  It also includes helplful instructions for them in their callings.  We will be chasing all of that down.  We just emailed the district presidents forms to fill out and email back to us.  President Morgan, from Tanna, had the info back to us the next morning.  He is really on the ball. When we go back to Tanna in January for the audit cycle, he said he would take us to see the mount Yasur volcano.  Elder and Sister Sackley had a daughter and her family come to visit last month.  All nine of the flew to Tanna to see the volcano.  It scared the little ones to death.  They said you can feel the earth shake and  rumble.  On the tour they take you only so far in a vehicle, then you walk the rest of the way up to the top where you can actually look down into the volcano.  I can't wait.  In reality, I'll probably be one of the cry babies!

This morning Greg and I prepared 23 breakfasts for the new elders and sisters that arrived yesterday.  We've become quite efficient with our breakfast sandwich project.  We do it assembly line style.  We buy the three little loaves of french bread for $1.50 at the Bon Mache.  Each of the loaves is about the size of a foot long from Subway.  We slice them open, cut them in half, spread them with butter, put a slice of smoked cheese, and scrambled eggs.  Then we stuff them in a sandwich baggie.  Then in the lunch sack they go with a banana, fruit drink, scripure and a home made cookie.  It's a pretty good size breakfast. As I mentioned before, they will be at the bank waiting for a couple of hours!  Yesterday, we helped Sister Tucker launder the bedding from 18 elders and sisters that left to go home.  Several of them were headed home to Utah!  We also help do the laundry between transfers. There is alot to be done and it feels really good to help out.  After all, the audits are only twice a year, so we have plenty of time in between to help.  We will really miss the group of missionaries that just left.  Many of them were the zone leaders and assistants and had a chance to get to know them a little bit.  Such wonderful young people.  I'll close for now, things are a little quite at the moment.  We hope all is well with you and your family.  We think of you often.  

Love, Elda and Sista Robison XO
