Elder Cal Robertson's Mission

nag hurot ko ang akong sabon panglaba, tapos nakapatyan ko og ahas Maayong hapon everybody. We are doing great and had great successful week. We were able to visit so many great people, nakakita ko sa tanan na ilang potential! I officially slayed the first beast on my mission. A cobra. It was an assist. But still under my belt.  Elder Taringting is awesome and Elder Gagatam too! Elder Gagatam is the Chef and he is teaching me so many delicious foods to make. Last was Sisig (pig ear) super good. My bucket list of foods to cook before I leave, sisig, adobo, kinilaw, and others...  We are really doing good and hope we can continue to be united and do a lot this cycle together as a trio! I was able to see the hand of the Lord, the gifts of the spirit and miracles all week. As we seek for these things I promise you will find them. I have been able to see more the personality of Christ as He has mercifully testified to me again and again almost unceasingly that He is the Christ. Tha...

Re: nabilin ko diri sa Ormoc! Hello family and friends. I'm staying in Ormoc :)  This week was transfers, and I stayed here with Elder Gagatam. But we are still in a trio. Our new companion is Elder Taringting. He's Great. We were able to help every one finally get transferred [Zone leader duties] and now... the Work begins. This morning I cleaned the apartment more, and deep cleaned the bathroom. We've been cooking a lot too which has been amazing, Elder Gagatam is teaching me to cook, so when I get home I'll only know how to cook Filipino food.  I've learned so much from General Conference as well. President Nelson's Invitation to keep re listening and reading the talks given has been a great help and I have learned something new every time! I found an awesome verse related to President Nelson's talk if you all are familiar, in Mosiah 3:13. 13 And the Lord God hath sent his holy prophets among all the children of men, to declare these things to every kindr...

Maopay na Adlaw mga sangkay. nangaon ko og batang pato kagabi #BALUT Hello family and friends. This week has been a roller coaster! Not really. There's no roller coasters here. Its a prankkk.  We were able to find so many amazing people and had zone conference and General Confrence in the same week! I've learned so Much, but something I've learned the most is that I want to rededicate myself to Jesus Christ as our Prophet Russel M Nelson has said. You might be wondering, how, Elder Robertson? You're already perfect! Hahaha, joke. Though I have been struggling in my ability of leadership as a Zone Leader, as I have come to a better understanding of Christs gospel and plan for us, I realized as we truly come closer to Christ, we become natural loving Christlike leaders. It is the only direction we are able to go.  I hope you all will read and ponder the words of General Conference. As President Nelson has said we can take their words and compare them to information today ...

  Got to baptize Madeline--Elder Robertson and Elder Terminez taught her in their last area, but they were transferred to the other ward. Now he was able to baptize her.  Now in a trio companionship--3 Elders together. Friend taking lessons couldn't come to church Sunday, but she's on date to baptize and her husband is preparing to receive his endowment. Woke up, started pday laundry and saw the President Nelson was speaking live so he got to hear about half of his talk from General Conference. Thinking about his life-long discipleship and how he can carry what he's learned on his mission to the rest of his life.
