Week 99

Ang huling email ko, tapos na ang misyon ko duon sa filipinas, pero hindi pa sa aking buhay. Hello everyone! This one is a little late because I didn't have a phone Monday. This one will be my last week writing or second to last. I am Home! Already released as a full time missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. On Sunday President and Sister Martinez came to our branch and I gave a last talk. They took us to Tacloban afterwards. Then I worked in Tacloban the rest of the day.  We did departing activities Monday then Tuesday we left to Manila. We were able to meet up with a past companion in Manila, Elder Valencia, or brother, and eat out with him in the Mall of Asia. Then Wednesday morning we woke up at 3:30 am and left to the airport and flew out to San Francisco, 13 hours, then after arriving in the US we had a 4 hour layover and said goodbye to all my batchmates, then another 5 ½ hours to Dulles Washington DC, then I saw my family!  I felt so sick and...

Week 98

D&C 128:22 "Shall we not go on in so great a cause?" Hey everyone! We had such a great week full of miracles! Its hard to put into words how amazing this work is. The work of God, just as music and the dancing steps to it. The dancing looks awkward and is really hard and uncomfortable to follow without the music! But once we hear the music the dancing is a joy. I have followed the steps of the gospel all my life, but now after everything I have experienced I have really come to hear the music of the gospel, which is the joy and blessings and hope that comes from following Christ .   We had exchanges this week which led us to traveling a lot. So I had a lot of time to think and read. Something I was thinking of is how God is real, and not just a God but a loving father in heaven. We literally have nothing to fear, as He said to a revelation given to Joseph Smith as recorded in D&C section 6 in the 36th verse, "Look unto me in every thought; doubt not, fear not....

Ayos lang ko, caso lang, medyo masakit ang katawhan ko.  Kay nabaskit mi sa umaga   Hi there! It's me Elder Robertson here again. We played a lot of basketball earlier with some of our friends for about 2 hours! I wish I listened to my track Coach Mathias about stretching. I can definitely count on one hand how many times I've stretched these past 2 years, and now I'm sore everywhere haha! I have a goal now to stretch once a week. If I can remember and if that even makes a difference.  We ate with the other Elders, we all bought sisig, (the pig face that you chop up and sizzle in a pan). I will cook this when I get home for anyone that wants!  We did so much this week that I can barely remember it all. But it was awesome. We achieved our goals. Which saying that outloud makes this missionary work sound like some business. Well it's the business of God. He is working time and I am so glad that I can be here working along side the Lord in this full time service.  ...

  Angay Hugot jud ang pagtuo naton Okay now I'm write the real email.  What a great week, we worked so hard. I was completely drained last night. We are talking to so many people and it was great! We achieved many of our Goals! I love Elder Vidal. He's such a funny guy. But he is humble and wants to work hard. We did a service project at Brother Jim's house on tuesday! He from a little island in Scotland, called Shirtlin I think, but is a really awesome person. We were helping him on his pig farm this week and he pick picked us up at 10 am and I guess he thought it was a whole day service. And I thought 2 hours, just miscommunication, but we ended up working from 10am to 5pm. Haha, it was hard work but it was awesome. I would have tried to go back earlier but his truck was the only ride and then around 1 pm or so someone took the truck because they were gonna butcher one of the pigs.  So there we were, alone with Brother Jim in the middle of the jungle at his pig farm. Wh...
