Week 8

Apparently I jumped the gun last week and said it was week 8.  But This week is actually week 8. My fault guys I know I'm in the future but not that far. This is the first full week I think. 

I ate balut this week from this dude on the side of the street. Just search it up cuz explaining wont do it justice. The kids here r fun and always want fist bumps. This one kid made this spitball launcher out bamboo and tape. It works kinda like those one pump tube shaped water guns. Anyways he let me try it and then I snapped it in half when I tried, pastilan. I felt so bad. Then I saw him another day after that and we're like homies now so it's all good. 

My comp is fun, Elder Zaragoza. He reminds of a Filipino version of Mario. I have a little photo of him at my study desk, so whenever I need some inspiration I just look at the photo of his face. We got hair cuts today which was fun. We ate at this chicken place for lunch. 

Teaching has been goin' good and I still don't understand anything people say in Waray-Waray or even English sometimes. We played basketball this morning and it was like 90 degrees and humid. Honestly I feel like the hottest day in Virginia is like everyday here. There's a lot of dogs everywhere. I'm gonna go grocery shopping and buy some noodles maybe. And some ice cream. How are you guys doin? Cyaa!

Also I saw a bunch of other missionaries adding captions to the photos so I think imma gonna do that too.

1. Some people
2. Riding somewhere on a bike thingy
3. Wilber the pig not havin the best day
4. Me eating some salad
5. Flexing bathroom pic I guess
6. Me sittin around
7. Taking care of our weed farm
8. Stuff

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.  ...

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...

Election day para sa mga candidato! Kinsa modaog? Ambot.   Hi family! And friends! I am stuck in the house right now. It's election day and to be safe we aren't allowed to leave the apartment. I've scrubbed my clothes and they are soaking now, I'll hang them to dry soon. I took a refreshing bucket shower this morning and then we ate some pancakes which I made. We had a meeting earlier about helping members and being diligent! I got a little video clip that hopefully you can watch about Joseph smith, "this should be our finest work.. nothing but the best for the Lord". I often wonder what I can do more or how I can increase my capacity to help others. One way I found is in Mosiah 2-4...all of his sermon is to teach people to do one thing.. "..that is, for the sake of retaining a remission of your sins from day to day, that ye may walk guiltless before God.." [Mosiah 4:26]. Achieving this is not a singular decision but rather a decision we have to make...
