Week 44

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 decided to put the references na lang kay. I want y'all to find and study these things on your own. :) The Lord loves effort! So I should really put the scripture quotes in secret code so y'all get to put extra effort into decoding to find the scriptures. Mabye you'll have more blessings that way haha. We had a bon fire last night too at the dagat. It was really relaxing actually. Except for after the fact when we had to go to bed with no electricity and a fever. Worst night of my mission for sure. We have Zone council meeting tomorrow and me and my comp are giving a training. So gotta prepare for that still. I'll try and send some more pictures later but for now, kitakits sa sunod!

Thorn: Being sick
Rose: Mission Leadership Conference or MLC
Bud: See what pday brings and missionary work this coming week

Got to see the beach in new area, a white sandy beach. Was sick through the night, took medicine with some food and said a prayer.  Felt much better in the morning.  Played basketball the morning of pday. Nine interested friends
were at church Sunday. Saw Elder Phillips.

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...
