Elder Cal Robertson's Mission

Bobon Maupay na buntag sa inyong lahat! No one actually uses that phrase here, N just wanted to use 3 languages in one sentence.:)  Super busy here in the Philippines as always. We went to Missionary Leadership Council this week on Tuesday hangtud Thursday. So that was fun to see all the other missionaries there and learn more on how to be a leader. I feel like there's kind of a difference between worldly leaders and leaders in the Church. Worldly leaders most of the time have glory pointed towards them; leaders in Christ's church of course point all glory to the Lord. We are all helping each other come closer to him. We can't be saved through famous people, sports, games, cellphones, not even what ever it is you spend your time in. This is why we must put all our effort, time, opportunity to Jesus Christ, and His Kingdom. Mosiah 3:17 ... Cool random verses from 2 Nephi 32:10-11 ... First time I think I've put scriptures in my email. I actually had them written out but ...

Rose, something good that happened last week: Friends at church on Sunday. Great area with lots of teaching and member help. Bud, something to look forward to: Traveling to Tacloban for Zone Leader training (8 hours away) and seeing Elder Phillips. Thorn, something that didn't go well: Realizing I'm not really good at teaching and don't know the language very well, but trying to work on it. Interesting facts...when people say they are going to have a "snack" they normally buy some bread, and then dip it in Coke. Last week someone was eating a sandwich with rice and rice noodles in it.  Carb overload! Elder Robertson and Elden on Mother's Day

Goodbye Sogod!  Morning everyone, sorry I missed the drop last week. But nothing really happened anyways, just the usual which would probably be a crazy experience for someone back home. That is the usual here really. There's always a spiritual experience happening.  We just moved apartments and it's super nice, sadly it won't be used, by me at least. I'm transferring to Catarman! Search it on google maps. I will be in Bobon area at the top of the mission coming all the way from the bottom in Sogod. Definitely going to miss this place and the people here. Sogod really lived up to its name.  This last week I've been thinking a lot about the scripture 2 Nephi 26:24 about how Christ doeth nothing save it be for our benefit, or the benefit of the world. Or another scripture that talks about how all things will work together for our good. A big reason these have been on my mind is because of all the trials and things that we've been experiencing. Every time I thought...
