Missionary Pictures

Yay! I finally have some pictures of Justin while he is currently in the MTC. Oh man, do I miss that face! Mom and Dad Robbins have this beautiful world map that displays where all their missionaries have gone. Name cards with the exact mission and date are posted in the red section of the map. On the left side are the postings of all their sons, and on the right is for the grandsons and granddaughters. Each name card has a small string leading from the card to a pin marking their mission.

If you squint, you can see Justin's Christmas tree on the shelf in the left hand corner that we ordered thru DearElder.com... for how much I payed for it, it sure is tiny! His companion was so sweet to take pictures of Justin so I could see him opening presents Christmas morning.

Justin's very first companion, Elder Hanks. They just crack each other up! I have to laugh at the size difference between the two... Justin is ginormous!

The first three missionaries in the front next to Justin are his roomies. He said they are always teasing and laughing which makes me feel so much better. I love how the MTC goes all out on Christmas lights.

Mondays are Justin's P-day which is when he gets to attend the Temple along with doing his laundry and writing letters or emails. I just LOVE Monday mornings now, it feels like Christmas to me to be able to receive an email from him.

Justin has stated that he is really grateful for having a nice warm coat in the freezing cold. I assumed all the missionaries had one until I saw this picture. Those poor boys have to be frozen solid! He said that alot of the missionaries thought it was a waste of space to have a winter coat for only 2 months. Right before Justin leaves for the Philippines, he plans on mailing home his coat, along with whatever else he has accumulated while staying at the MTC.
