Week 59

Nakasakay ko og usa ka sakyanan nga makalupad, nagsaka mi sa kawanangan hangtud migawas mi sa kalibutan, nakakita mi sa inyo tanan! Pero dili mo natubag sa amo.

[I rode a car that could fly, we went up in space until we left the world, we saw all of you! But you did not answer the boss.]

Hello everybody! The work this week has been super great! Im getting transferred! Yippy, kinda... I wanna stay here in Ipil but we'll be in the next ward over. We're whitewashing, or starting from scratch kinda. Kicking everybody out and comin' in. It'll be good tho because I get to stay with my companion, Elder Terminez for 1 more cycle! First time for me to stay 2 cycles with a companion! And he has lots of experience whitewashing. So were gonna do great! Especially because the Lord will help us and we'll be guided by the spirit. And as our Prophet, Russell M Nelson, reminded us that angels will really be with us, to bear us up during our trials, especially our effort! The Lord loves Effort. 

So this week we decided to work, Yippyyy!! We're moving tomorrow and helping others transfer. Then we'll get everything over to the bago place--new place. 

We also were able to help the Sanchez family--the Mom and Dad--get married and then baptized the same day! It was an awesome experience and I am excited to see them keep progressing and helping others. Especially with the amazing opportunity they have to Testify of Christ with their new experiences and blessings they've witnessed. 

We get bikes as well this next cycle. Some lady invited us to eat frogs at her house too. But not sure, just depends how big the frogs are. A good rule of thumb, don't waste your time eating small frogs, you need em chicken sized. Big and juicy, and they taste like chicken too. (You might even say that there's a reason that we eat chicken and not frogs). Hahaha.

Goodbye everybody. Have fun in your places wherever you may be and represent, and think Celestial! Gooodbyeee 

PS--Also if you search Elders Apartment in Ipil, Leyte, it'll show our apartment, not sure who put the apartment on google maps but its funny.
Hahaha

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...
