Hey! How is everyone! Super pumped after general conference? Cuz I
am!! My goodness wasn't that just AMAZING!! I tell yah what, there is
NOTHING better than general conference on the mission. Okay, there are
lots of things that and equally as awesome, but it's way cool. And was
one of the best ways to end this week. One of my favorite quotes was
from elder Mervyn B. Arnold when he said "no matter our age, we are
all called to go to the rescue." That quote really touched my little
missionary heart. We don't have to have a name tag to be a missionary.
We don't have to be 18/19/20/21. We don't even need to grow a foot or
two! We just need to heed the call and rescue. It could be something
as simple as smiling at someone and saying hi, or serving a neighbor
in need. It reminded me of the song "have I done any good in the world
today." This week I challenge you to heed the call of those around us
and rescue those in need.
So this week was definitely an awesome one!
Monday was fun, we got to party it up in Geneva. And that night I
received sister Andersen. She is my new companion and she is from
Denmark! She is basically perfection. I love her and have already
learned so much in 1 short week from her! She pushes me to open my
mouth more and to get uncomfortable. She is an amazing teacher and I
am excited to learn more from her as our transfer goes.
Tuesday we started our day and had all our lessons fall through so it
was just a fine day full of contacting haha. But that was okay because
we got a brand new fridge!! So In our mission we have this awesome
companionship called "the moving elders" and they help all the
missionaries get what they need and they are just wonderful. So they
brought us a new fridge because our old one had a door that would fall
off... But man! I just have a new appreciation for the elders! They
are AMAZING! If sisters ask for anything, they will do it not because
they have to but because they want to. They are so polite and they
honestly have out best interest in mind and take WAY good care of us.
They also take the jobs that I don't want like working in the office
or the moving equipe (companionship). Needless to say, I developed a
greater appreciation for the elders all over the world haha.
Wednesday we had a grand miracle! We have a potential ami that we have
been trying to contact forever and she isn't home. She is so ready for
the gospel and we aren't giving up on her. Well, as we were
contacting-because I couldn't remember where someone we were going to
try to pass lived (Yverdon may be small, but I still sometimes get
lost haha...)- there she came riding by on her bike! She stopped and
talked to us, said she was struggling but knew that we could help her
and wants to meet with us! We are just waiting for her call to fix a
RDV! It was a grand miracle indeed.
Thursday was fun! I got to introduce Soeur Andersen to the farm! She
loved it haha. She grew up on an apple farm and loved it. We also got
a new ami! His name is Bruno. He has had a rough life but as we shared
with him the truth of the gospel we were able to watch his heart
soften and he was very receptive to our message. We will be meeting
with him on Wednesday and I'm really looking forward to that.
Friday was another day just full of contacting but it was still a good
day with lots of miracle stories and bunches of new potentials.
Saturday was the beginning of conference!! It was weird to watch it at
church and so late at night, but it was so fun. Soeur Andersen and I
were the only ones to watch it in English so it was nice to have a
room all to ourselves haha :)
Sunday was a blast! We went to church early in the morning to watch
the women's session and then went to eat at a members home. She fed us
goat and rice. It was SO good! Didn't think I would like goat, but
it's actually really good. After that we got to watch the Saturday
afternoon session and Sunday morning session. We would have finished
conference today but we are on our way to Lyon for an STL/ZL
Leadership Conference! But I am really looking forward to that and to
getting to finish conference. It's always so amazing.
Well. That's about it folks!! Life here in Yverdon is so good and
always getting better. And I give all the credit to my Heavenly Father
and His son Jesus Christ. Every good thing I have In this works I owe
to them!
Know I love you all lots!
Until next week,

The Best For Last
Hey everyone! How is life? Good I hope!
So this week was a miracle week with a sad ending...
Monday:
Monday we got to go to the lake with Soeur Yaka-Yake and Soeur
Wadsworth. It was fun to picnic there and just enjoy the scenery. Then
we went and had a RDV with our ami Krisztina! It was just incredible!
I don't think I've talked about Krisztina before... So I'll give a
little introduction. Krisztina is from Hungary. She is the cutest
thing ever. She speaks French, Hungarian and English. She is engaged
to a member of our ward and met the church when he invited her to come
to general conference with him. She has met with 3 different sets of
missionaries and understands it all, she is so smart! She can teach
the lessons to her brother after we teach her, it's amazing. She asked
us on Sunday if we would teach her about self-reliance, so of course
we say yes! When we got there to teach her we had no clue what to
teach on. Self-Reliance is such a big topic that we had no clue what
to teach. We decided to say a prayer and ask Heavenly Father to guide
us and as soon as I said amen I knew exactly what we needed to teach
her on. It was amazing. It was like a light switch had been turned on,
her needs just hit me. It was super cool. So we went in and taught her
and we knew exactly what to say. It was so cool. We gave her a
personal progress book and encouraged her to begin it. I never really
realized how much personal progress helped me until now! I have
learned so many different life lessons from personal progress.. If you
haven't finished it, I encourage you to do so! Anyways... The lesson
was wonderful and the spirit was so strong.
Tuesday:
We went to the farm like always and it was fun. They're always so good
to us at the farm. I enjoy the opportunity to serve and learn and try
new things. It's the best (: Tuesday we also had a lot of lessons fall
through so we just contacted and did some area book. I love
contacting. It's a lot of fun getting to meet new people. When you
meet someone you can just tell how much the gospel would help them
with their life and how much they need it and you just have this
instant love for them. It's amazing.
Also, FINISHED THE BOOK OF MORMON! WOOT WOOT!
Wednesday:
Wednesday was our miracle Wednesday! We started the morning meeting
with Souer Frene and it was wonderful! She is such a sweet lady. We
read with her from 1 Nephi 13 and she was telling us "This is where
Christopher Colombus came in right?" "This is where it talks about
America gaining independence right?" And stuff like that. She is
amazing, she knows everything. I hope that sometime soon we find out
what happened to make her not want to come to church anymore because
we could use her sweet spirit back in our ward. After that, we went
and visited with our ami Fred at the church. He is progressing so
well. He has so many good questions, it's wonderful. He asked us how
we baptize people and what makes our church different and why the Book
of Mormon is important. We taught him the restoration and answered a
lot of his questions. It was so cool. He loves the baptismal font and
the chapel so much. He says that the spirit is strong there. SO COOL!
After we visited him we met with Jeremie. He is a frustrating ami for
us... He likes to just bash everything we say. When we asked him if it
would be important for him to know the truth he said no. It's
frustrating, he needs to read the Book of Mormon and then pray about
it. That is our goal for the future. Get him to read the Book of
Mormon.
Thursday:
Thursday we had district meeting. It was so much fun. We got to do
this thing called "bible prophecies" where we predicted where everyone
was going. It was so much fun!! Someone predicted that I would be
staying here in Yverdon to baptize all the drug dealers haha (Which
there really aren't drug dealers because everything is legal here in
Swiss). It was super fun. Then we went back and had dinner with the
Ward Missionaries here and they made MAC AND CHEESE for the American
(: It was so cool.
Friday:
Friday were transfer calls!! It was so funny. We expected president to
call us later in the day so Soeur Greciano jumped in the shower but
turns out that he called while she was in the shower and when I told
her she thought that I was joking. Then she heard me talking to
president and jumped out of the shower, so that was funny. Well,
moment of truth! I am staying in Yverdon! WOOT WOOT! But sad day,
Soeur Greciano is going to France... I am receiving a sister named
Soeur Anderson. It's so cool. I am so excited.
Saturday:
We got to meet with Soeur Frene again! She is so cute. We went and
told her Soeur Greciano was leaving and she was so sad. We had a final
parting words and it was awesome. She knows, and we know she knows. I
want her to come back so bad. We then went and visited other people
and got a new ami named Samuel! He is from Brazil and we are really
excited to teach him. He seems really interested.
Sunday:
We got to have Easter dinner with the Pires Family. They are so sweet.
Soeur Pires is my favorite. She asked me if I would teach her how to
do genealogy and of course I said yes! She has a less active daughter
we are working with too so hopefully us being there will help her.
Well. That was my week! Hope all of yours was well too!
I love you all so much and thanks for all your prayers.
Until next week (:

Put a ring on it!?!
 |
| This is the group she was in the MTC with |
HELLOOO FAMILY AND FRIENDS! Qu'est-ce
que sup?
My goodness I am so excited to get into this week! It was hand down just spectacular (like always) so I'll get into it!
Monday:
Monday we had Zone P-Day in Geneva. It was so fun to get to see everyone! We got to play football and BBQ and yep, it was great :) Ialso got to see elder wade again! Which was super awesome. It's always so much fun to be around friends from before the mission.
Tuesday:
Tuesday was the day! Christofferson Conference! My goodness it was amazing!! We got there and were told to quietly reflect on his talks and prepare for him and as soon as he got here we got to shake his hand and he talked to each one of us a little bit and boy was it so cool! I just happened to wear my personal progress medallion and he
was so proud of me. He also told me he was excited for me to be here and asked me where I was from. When I said PG UT his wife said that's where he was born! I was pretty excited haha just another reason to be proud of my home town 😎
Now to the spiritual :)
He asked that president speak first and president reviled how many engages we got! And I'm proud to say that we made our goal of 187! We actually got 223 engages!! When I heard that I was like "WHAT?! Are you kidding!? We did that?!" And then a voice came to my mind and said "Sister Robb, you didn't do that. This is my work. I did that. You were just my hands." It was a very humbling experience. Then Elder Christofferson spoke. Man is he funny! He has some pretty great jokes haha. He asked us "when is the perfect time to get baptized?" And we were all thinking some time and then he says "30 seconds before you die" hahah and then he went on to say that the earlier the better. Later in the meeting someone asked what the balance between their agency and our prayers and he said "well, you just pray for their agency to be taken away" hahaha he's great. Anyways, something he really emphasized was knowing and recognizing the Lords voice. He said that it's not always the same but knowing his voice and recognizing it is vital for us to be missionaries and also in the future. It was awesome and I think that it definitely something that can benefit all of us no matter where we are because we are all missionaries.
He then finished by blessing the mission. It was a very sacred experience that I will NEVER forget in my life. We were all on a spiritual high that day :) oh! Another thing I loved that happened was that elder Christofferson said that he loves that the work for "investigator with a baptismal date" is Called an engage because they're engaged to the gospel. They're into it with all they have and that's special. President then had the nerve to say that he is
encouraging us to think about being engaged 💍 and elder Christofferson looked at him and with just the straightest face said "engaged in the work" hahaha hopefully that ends the marriage talk for
at least a few weeks haha 😂😂

Wednesday:
Needless to say, after that spiritual high, Soeur Greciano and I
had a serious spiritual hangover haha. It was slightly hard to work because we
were exhausted but it was an awesome day. We got to go work at the farm! We got
to clean up cow poop and then feed the cows. We also got to help start building
a horse coral. That was fun, but I am definitely not cut out to be a farm girl!
I wouldn't survive haha. City life for days.
Thursday:
Thursday was a slower day but one that Soeur Greciano will never
forget! We were doing our usual power hour and we contacted this lady with the
cutest puppy and turns out the lady is from Spain! Soeur Greciano was so
excited! She's now an ami and is very receptive to the message :) I hope, for
Soeur Grecianos sake, she continues to progress :)
Friday: and Saturday:
Friday was super eventful. We had a RDV with an ami called
Jeremie and he was recently kicked out of the evangelist church... So we had a
lesson with him and it was so frustrating! His interpretation of the bible is
so skewed. It was really rough so we just bore testimony the whole time. He
wants to meet with us again and has been reading the Book of Mormon so that's
good! I just don't know where to even begin with teaching him... He's crazy..
Haha but we love him. He'll come around the eventually. I mean, there has to be
another reason why he came to the Mormon Church after getting kicked out of the
evangelist church!
After we taught jeremie, I got to go on a "Bleus
exchange" with Soeur Wadsworth (a friend from the MTC). We had an AMAZING
start! We had 12 conversations and a lesson! Turns out that everyone we spoke
to all spoke English! It was a complete blessing and the lord knew we needed
that. We got to continue our exchange on into Saturday as well. Saturday we mad
the goal to hand out 10 BOMs (8 French and 2 English). We were able to
successfully hand out 8 French book of Mormons! Woot woot! No one spoke English
on Saturday haha but our French (more like lack thereof haha) really helped us
to get conversations started! We got 18 conversations that day. It was super
cool. Needless to say, best exchange I've been on! Also, we found Zion so...
Haha
Sunday:
Well, Sunday was a slightly stressful day for me... I had to
speak in church!! Oh my lanta... Scariest thing I have done in my life! But
somehow, through my broken French, the spirit was there and he was able to
convey the message on the plan of salvation and the members understood for the
most part! #blessed
That night we were invited over to have dinner with my favorite
people in the ward, Bastian and Judith. Bastian is the bishop’s son and he and
his wife Judith have been married for about 1 year. They're super super cool!
Bastian works a lot in the US so speaks really good English and then Judith
grew up in Quebec and speaks English, Spanish and French. They're super cool!
They made us lasagna and I dunno.. They just have the coolest insights into the
gospel! I dunno why I shared that haha but there yah go!
Well, that was my week! It's crazy to think that I'm starting
the last week of my 1st transfer here in the France Lyon mission! I have been
SO incredibly blessed. I have the greatest companion, district leader, zone
leaders, district and zone. I've legit struck gold here! I am blessed beyond
belief to be here on the Lords errand. I am so grateful each day that he
allowed me to come serve his beloved children in the France Lyon mission. It's
such a blessing for me! I came out here to give back to the one who gives me
everything and I am seriously more blessed each day.
Guys, I know that this church is true. I know this with all my
heart. I know that Jesus Christ suffered and died for us that we might be
clean, live again, and never be alone. I know that he rose again on the 3rd day
and that he lives today. I would like to challenge you in preparation for this
coming Easter Sunday to 1) watch the video "Because of Him" and make
a list of what is possible Because of Him and 2) read the talk "None were
with Him" by Jeffery R. Holland.
I love you guys so much. And so does our Heavenly Father. I
testify of that.
Until next week

Monday, March 14, 2016
Started from the bottom now I'm here...
Here is Keagan's email for this week. Something we learned this week is that when she refers to the investigators as "Amis" the translation for that is "A friend in Christ". We thought that was a really cool way to think about the investigators. Love getting these letters, she is doing so great! I know she would love to hear from friends back home so if you have a minute email her at the keagan.robb@myldsmail.net email. This is the email she checks.
Enjoy!
Well, lemme tell yah, this week was certainly one for the books!! But
first, lemme start from the beginning.
Monday:
Monday was a miracle Monday! We were going to Lausanne to buy some
clothes for Christofferson conference tomorrow (!I know right?!) and
we had just gotten out of the house and we're going to have to run out
of the house to catch the bus..and I of course forgot my bus pass! So
we run inside and come out content to just walk to the gare and take
the next train(train station). Well, when we got to the bus stop, what
pulls up? Yep! The bus! We made it to our train on time! Woot! We were
blessed with little things like that all day! Just barely making the
train and so on. That night we decide to do a power hour and as were
walking around we meet 7 people. Of those 7 people on 2 spoke French!
The others spoke Turkish, Albanian, Arabic, Spanish, and Kurt (SP?)..
Crazy! Haha we did a lot of charades and in the end they understood
what we were doing haha.
Tuesday:
Tuesday we didn't do much.. Just the usual ward council and visited
Soeur Frene. I love her. She is finally starting to get that burning
again! It's awesome. She gets excited for our visits and she gets
excited to read the scriptures. She's not interested in general
conference, but we have been leaving her talks and she has been
reading them not knowing they were from general conference and we
don't plan to tell her any time soon haha #sneeky
Wednesday:
Wednesday we had exchanges and I got to go on exchange with Soeur
Canino. She is from Italy and is super cool! She's 25 and on a
mission! So cool. She is really smart and loves the gospel. We got to
visit one of our Amis and we invited her to be baptized and she said
yes! And then said no.. Because she was already baptized.. So we
retaught the apostasy and restoration and she said that she didn't
know if she could be baptized by someone holding the priesthood and
that she needed to check with her psychiatrist to see if it's okay....
That was bizarre haha oh well, we'll keep trying!
Thursday:
Thursday we did some contacting, we did some visits, but no one was
interested and no one would answer... So we did some area book work
and then prepared for a big day Friday.
Friday:
Friday was the coolest day EVER! Friday we did what's called a
"Finding Day" where all the missionaries get together in just a couple
areas and find people. Well, that day was amazing! We started in
Neuchatel and it is BEAUTIFUL! We had a lot of fun and found a lot of
potentials for the sisters there. After, we went to Yverdon! We got to
find a lot of people and have a lot of fun together. It was great. And
2 of the elders got us an engage! Haha his name is Diazlo and we don't
know him... But he's set to be baptized on the 30th of April! We also
found a lot of people and have a big week this coming week :) I love
doing stuff like finding days because I can find new people and get to
know my district better. My district is like one happy family and I
love it!!
We also got a new ami! His name is Rafael. He's super cool and is
planning to set a baptismal date next week.
Saturday:
We had a hang over from finding day on Saturday.. But we still went
out and tried out best! We visited some people and called all the
potentials from finding day and just kept working! It was great we had
23 conversation in just 1 hour on the street! So cool.
Sunday:
Sunday was the day! We had 5 amis at church! And we got another
engage! His name is Fred and it was on the first lesson! So cool! We
taught him at the gare with his friends (who are the drug dealers of
Yverdon) inside one of the stores haha and when we asked if he would
be baptized he said yes and committed to May 15th! So cool! Miracles
are happening here.
Well, we need to go to work, but I love you all! I know this church is
true and I'm so grateful to play just a small part in this work.
Keep it real! Pics to come another day.
Love,

the next train(train station). Well, when we got to the bus stop, what
pulls up? Yep! The bus! We made it to our train on time! Woot! We were
blessed with little things like that all day! Just barely making the
train and so on. That night we decide to do a power hour and as were
walking around we meet 7 people. Of those 7 people on 2 spoke French!
The others spoke Turkish, Albanian, Arabic, Spanish, and Kurt (SP?)..
Crazy! Haha we did a lot of charades and in the end they understood
what we were doing haha.
Tuesday:
Tuesday we didn't do much.. Just the usual ward council and visited
Soeur Frene. I love her. She is finally starting to get that burning
again! It's awesome. She gets excited for our visits and she gets
excited to read the scriptures. She's not interested in general
conference, but we have been leaving her talks and she has been
reading them not knowing they were from general conference and we
don't plan to tell her any time soon haha #sneeky
Wednesday:
Wednesday we had exchanges and I got to go on exchange with Soeur
Canino. She is from Italy and is super cool! She's 25 and on a
mission! So cool. She is really smart and loves the gospel. We got to
visit one of our Amis and we invited her to be baptized and she said
yes! And then said no.. Because she was already baptized.. So we
retaught the apostasy and restoration and she said that she didn't
know if she could be baptized by someone holding the priesthood and
that she needed to check with her psychiatrist to see if it's okay....
That was bizarre haha oh well, we'll keep trying!
Thursday:
Thursday we did some contacting, we did some visits, but no one was
interested and no one would answer... So we did some area book work
and then prepared for a big day Friday.
Friday:
Friday was the coolest day EVER! Friday we did what's called a
"Finding Day" where all the missionaries get together in just a couple
areas and find people. Well, that day was amazing! We started in
Neuchatel and it is BEAUTIFUL! We had a lot of fun and found a lot of
potentials for the sisters there. After, we went to Yverdon! We got to
find a lot of people and have a lot of fun together. It was great. And
2 of the elders got us an engage! Haha his name is Diazlo and we don't
know him... But he's set to be baptized on the 30th of April! We also
found a lot of people and have a big week this coming week :) I love
doing stuff like finding days because I can find new people and get to
know my district better. My district is like one happy family and I
love it!!
We also got a new ami! His name is Rafael. He's super cool and is
planning to set a baptismal date next week.
Saturday:
We had a hang over from finding day on Saturday.. But we still went
out and tried out best! We visited some people and called all the
potentials from finding day and just kept working! It was great we had
23 conversation in just 1 hour on the street! So cool.
Sunday:
Sunday was the day! We had 5 amis at church! And we got another
engage! His name is Fred and it was on the first lesson! So cool! We
taught him at the gare with his friends (who are the drug dealers of
Yverdon) inside one of the stores haha and when we asked if he would
be baptized he said yes and committed to May 15th! So cool! Miracles
are happening here.
Well, we need to go to work, but I love you all! I know this church is
true and I'm so grateful to play just a small part in this work.
Keep it real! Pics to come another day.
Love,
