Allyse Robertson

We had the pleasure of meeting this beautiful and wonderful missionary a few months ago. She is a great girl. She is actually the one that set up our baptism for us. The first time she came over to our house to meet us, we instantly fell in love with her. I mean how could you not?
We are blessed to have met such a young, beautifully and talented young woman who will go places. She is an inspiration to us. She has taught us so much and given us such a wonderful friendship that we are so sad to see her go. I are not sad that she will be ending her mission and going back home to see her family and start her life. What makes us sad, is that she is gone from Cleveland. We won't get to see her like we use. She is an incredible missionary!
Our kids love her so much. Ok so we might be a little bias, since she is from Boise but that's not the only reason why we love her. It's because she is awesome! She really is. Anyone who has met her will agree with me. We do have a few fave missionaries too but she is by far one of the best that we are very close to.
We know she will miss us and we will always keep in contact. She has really taught us so much about the gospel and everything. We are truly grateful to Heavenly father for bringing her our way! ; )
 sorry i took this from her page! : )
I wish the best of luck to you in all that you do. May God always keep you in his arms and lead you to success. May whatever path you choose be the path to greatness and joy. May your life be blessed with love and care. We hope that you've accomplished all that you have hoped to accomplished. We hope you've made wonderful new and lasting friends along the way. We know we will keep you in our hearts and always remember you. We won't just remember you for your kindness, but we will also remember you for your honesty, integrity and knowledge. May your life be filled with laughter and joy. May your days be filled with sunshine and rainbows. May all the roads you take take you to the sky. Because you deserve it!
Thursday night her and her family came over to visit and have dinner with us. We are so glad that they were able to come visit. It was so nice to meet her family and talk to them. We have living in Idaho in common! ; ) I was going to make spring rolls for them (it's sister Robertsons' fave) but she had mentioned that her mom wanted to see how it was made so i decided to wait and have them make it with us. How fun is that huh? I think he liked making it. They need some improvements but didn't do too bad. We also did a little bbq out on the grill since sister Robertson likes the sticky rice. And since this is her day we made sure we had all the things she likes to eat at our place for her.
                                                                Even Lily made one!                                                     
                                                         Ribs and chicken! Yummy!
This picture turned out kinda lope sided or something. We all look kinda weird. Angle is wrong. But we still look good! 
 We had the Robertsons back to our house the next day for lunch along with the sisters. They enjoyed the food a lot...well at least that's what they tell me! ; ) I'll take their word for it.
The sister on the right with the blue shirt. I felt really sorry for her. I had sliced up some jalapenos and i laid them on top of the lettuce. She thought it was  bell peppers so she just took it and popped it in her mouth. She realized it was hot and her eyes were watering. What made it worst was that she rubbed her eyes with the same hands she used to pick up the jalapenos. Yay not a very good idea! I felt really bad for her. But I told her "at least you'll have a good story to tell your parents. And plus we had beef tripe and beef hamstring in the pho too. So now she can add that she ate those too." Works out pretty well doesn't it?
The kiddie table! Lily did pretty well, she almost finished her bowl. I was pretty surprised that she ate everything in the bowl. Usually kids would ask what was in the bowl but she didn't, she ate it and yes even the tripe and hamstring. Wow is definitly the word. 
 
                                          At our wards' Trunk-or-Treat. She look scary huh?
 Our batism! A day we will forever remember. Thank you to Sister Park and Sister Robertson for making this day the most memorable and special day for us. Aside from the cold water and being dunked 3 times, we had a wonderful time. It was and is a good decision. For us to be able to feel even more connected as a family is a great feeling. We are blessed to have each other.
I will forever be grateful to her. She has taught me so much and has given me so much without even knowing it. Although i will miss her dearly, i know she is going to do better things for herself. I am so proud of her for doing the mission. I hope that my kids will be inspired by her wisdom and knowledge and follow her path. We will forever hold her in our hearts!
