Week 46

Maopay na kulop mga tao! Damo na salamat sa birthday wishes ninyo! (Thank you for everyone's birthday wishes) it was a really good day. We got to go to church and then eat at a members house, then go to church again at a special sacrament meeting in a farther away area. I even had the privilege of being a speaker. I talked about the sacrament, especially the sacrament with the Nephites in the Americas. I like how Christ says when we take the sacrament it shows Him that we are willing to always remember Him, and do what he has commanded us. Then He says if you will always remember Me, you will always have My spirit to be with you. That's an amazing blessing! The 3rd member of the Godhead, the Holy Ghost. If we always have the Holy Spirit with us we will be able to do all things and do all the Lord has commanded us. 

I also like the scripture in Moroni 9:6, there's a great work to accomplish whilst in our tabernacle of Clay! Not withstanding what's around you, kaya ka, padayon la! (Especially with the spirit of the Lord). 

This week my comp got surgery in his face, so we've been on splits the past couple days, so we can still work in our area. We had an amazing amount of people come to church yesterday which was a big blessing. And a fun birthday gift--seeing them all come closer to Christ. 

We're gonna go to the beach later as well which will be super fun. Last week we went to someone's farm and a brother got his machete and climbed the buko trees and hacked some coconuts down for us. I dont know if you guys have ever eaten a coconut fresh from the tree, but it's basically enough for a 2 person meal. I drank all the buko juice from one and thought I was gonna explode. I had to wait a little bit before I ate the flesh inside which I ended up only eating half of. But, it tastes super good👌 

MmwA, kalami, karasa, masarap oraora. Oh ya, also Elder Choi of the Area Presidency is visiting so we're going to Tacloban this week on Wednesday! 

But yeah, luv you guys, hope you have a spectacular week. Goodbye! And pagHinay

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...
