Here are all the birthday's in December:
Alot of you may know that Kim set up a webpage for Robby. You have to check it out. Not only is there updated pictures on there, but you can leave posts and Robby can comment back on them. Although he got transferred into the jungle, so it may take him awhile to comment back, I guess he doesn't know if he will have internet access there. Anyways check it out and show Robby some love!

Alright, I'm early this month. Here is the list of birtday's in October! (Hopefully I don't forget anybody!)
this week has been really awesome tho. prob. the biggest spiritual experiance of my life. its been really weird cuz i have been trying to prepare myself spiritual so like all i have been doing is praying reading anf teaching..... i did it all this week because i had my first baptizm this week.... Olga Gemarange. she is this little old lady we have been teach both transfors and we set up a date for her and i baptizmed her. it was pretty awesome. even elder passos was like this was a weird week for both of us. he said he could reallt tell the missionary spirit was with both of us. i liked it. but for me.... it was realyl weird. but ya i have been getting letters from granny and its really awweseom to get letters from her. im really excited for that package tho. but our area has been really good his week. alot more people ahev opened their doors for us so come in and and teach them. so ya really good week this week. ...... i dont thinki have lost any wieght..... i workout everyday and eatreally good elder passos wants to loss weight so we have been eating healthy... somehtin he hasnt done for 6 transfors. but i miss everyone back home and cant wait to hear from u guys soon in just a few months and it goes by so fast. but i really miss u guys ad love u guys tell dad i said i love hima nd tell chase i said whats up. and everyone i said hello! but i love u guys and ill hear from u next week
This post is a little late coming, but I thought I would post all of September's Birthday's as a reminder to everyone and anyone! Granted were already 1/2 way into the month, but there isn't that many birthday's in September. I will try to do this every month, (hopefully at the beginning, so I don't miss anybody.) Anyways here goes:hi granny! its good to hear from u guys! everythin is going really awesome here... i can eat anythin i want to here they have everythin they do back home. we have a shoprite here and its like bashas. just they dont have cakes and cookies like back home. man what i would do for some good sweets. ya but it passes by so so fast. its weird to think i have been other for 3 months now. i just got here! im in the city tho so there r a lot of run down hotels that we knock doors for. we do alot of walking too our area is about 3 quarts of a mile away then we start to work... so ya but ya we get to play a lot of soccer here... san volleyball too. ya but the tarwater will never leave in my with sports. tell everyone hi for my granny and that i miss them. love u guys
Everybody knows Robby is serving his missing in Africa. Here is a part of the letter Kim & Neal got shortly after he arrived to his area and a picture with his mission president. Also Robby can check his email, so if you would like to write to Robby you can email him at robbytarwater@myldsmail.net. (Sorry I had to print & scan the picture, so it's not super clear!)
Dear Sister and Brother Tarwater,
Just a note to let you know that your son, Elder Robert Neal Tarwater, Jr has arrived safely and is doing well. We are delighted to have him here in the Mozambique Maputo Mission. He just left our home this evening after a welcoming dinner. He will return tomorrow for orientation in the morning and then join his first companion, Elder Cristiano Passos, from Guarulhos, Brazil. They will serve in the Maputo 2 Branch here in the capital city of Maputo.
Your son will learn by firsthand experience the joy of sharing the gospel and serving others. As he is faithful to his call from a prophet of God and obedient to the mission rules he will be helped in learning the lessons and increasing his testimony.
We hope you will write to him weekly, encouraging him as he serves a faithful mission. Mail is much faster if delivered electronically. He will only write once a week on his preparation day.
Thank you for sharing your son and preparing him to serve a mission.
Most Sincerely,
President Blair & Cindy Packard
Mozambique Maputo Mission
Granny & Pop's NEW WHEELS!!!
Allexa modeling it for everyone... Ha-ha!
