Week 55

Bakit uhaw sayang sayaw bakit ikaw

Oh what a wonderful morning, oh what a beautiful day. I've got a wonderful feeling, everything's goin my way. 

Hello sa inyong lahat! This week our friend Tatay Salvador got Baptized! I was great to see the unity of the members and their support. 

We had a Missionary Leadership Council this last week and it was cool. We also have this one couple in our area that are really awesome that we are helping with their marriage so they will be able to achieve their goal of going to the temple and first be baptized. 

I've realized the true goal as people and missionaries is to be sealed with our family in the Temple and siempre keep our promises there. So it's really important we are keeping our smaller commitments that we make. That will help us keep bigger commitments and eventually, covenants with God. It is really the only way to come closer to Christ, as the scriptures say brighter and brighter until the perfect day. As we make and keep covenants, commitments, and commandments from Christ and diligently seek to understand them (so we can follow them more fully) we will gain the greater light and step forward on our progression along the covanant path until we are at the perfect day when we will all return home to our Father in Heaven. As long as we are on the path and pressing forward, we will be where the Lord want us. That's my little thought for y'all. 

But yeah, don't know if y'all know, but I got transferred and now I'm back is Leyte!! It's my 4th area na! And my companion, Elder Terminez, is great! I'm still a zone leader. We are working and have great help from members, mostly they're all super nice. But we do have help from them. 

I accidentally drank a 1.5 liter of Coke too. Twice. But it's okay, I dont buy any soda. I just drink it when people give it to me, which is actually kinda a lot. We ate kinilaw yesterday and it was amazing. It's fish, that's cooked in vinegar. Not actually cooked but it just sits in the vinegar and other spices until it's not germy anymore ig? Anyways basta it's lami. And our house is a mansion...well bigger than a small 3 room apartment, so it's BIGG. 

Later everybody! If you want to send me pictures of stuff that'd be cool to. I'll put the coolest one in my next email!

Lublub, Elder Robinsons

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...
