It's Official

Elder Robinson was set apart last night by President Gleason.  It was a great experience for all.   President Gleason shared with us that with Taft's setting apart there are 110 missionaries serving from our stake and 27 with calls.  He commented that if every stake in the church had 100 missionaries in the field the missionary force would be 300,000 strong.  That's something to think about and plan for.  Taft is ready to go.  We are pleased with his preparation and focus  We are only a few hours away from dropping him off at the MTC.

Final Preparations Underway

We are pleased to report that Taft is ready to go.  He will speak in Church tomorrow and we are excited to hear from him.  Many members of the family will be in attendance as well as choice friends from the ward and community.  Thanks to all who have helped the Robinson Family prepare for Taft's departure.  As we have done with Elder Hunter Robinson on his blog, we will make every attempt to post Taft's letters and photos as his mission runs its course.  All the best.  Russ Robinson (Dad).
