Week 57

I Hatag og hotdog

Hey guys, my mga brother and mga sister. I'm doing great. 

We have had a good week full of great spiritually enriching experiences. We are teaching this lady, Madeline, that was asking how she can find the true church. We told her that she could know if she had faith in Jesus Christ and prayed about the message we shared. And that God would answer her prayer through the power of the Holy Ghost, which testifies of all truth. After the lesson we asked her to say the prayer and in the prayer she asked that she would be able to know the truth, instantly we all felt the spirit. She barely made it to the end of the prayer because of it and she was crying. 

There are many people that know the Gospel is true. Christ lives. He leads and guides us today...but sometimes there's an untrue background thought that excludes us from receiving the blessings from this. But as Mormon said, have miracles ceased? Has God stopped speaking to his Children? No, He Loves us as he always has, with undying, everlasting love. We can always receive His blessings when we choose the accept them. Or follow Him. 

This week was good tho. We ate some squid, milk fish, and chicken. And empalaya--super bitter cucumber looking thing. But I'm pinoy now so I EAT. Yummy yum. And lots of coke. I don't buy it, but I've drank soda every day this past week from people always giving it. 

We had an FHE today and also DCM (District Counsel Meeting). Which we'll try to make shorter. We met a guy that attempted murder... and a guy that actually did murder someone. He was hired to kill a guy from some government people, for 250,000 pesos, which is sad to think anyone would even think of ruining their soul for anything. 

Right now I'm in Ipil, Ormoc city. By the dyka, I can even see the dagat from my house. Luv u guys, amping mo pirme!

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...
