Week 64

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 to know truth for ourselves. I like what President Oaks said about kites in his last talk. I encourage you to study that one as well as Brad Wilcox's talk, because it's Brother Wilcox, why not haha. 

We have one week left of the transfer too which is crazy. But I love you guys. Prepare for the second coming!! Good bye.

PS-my mom sent some Slim Jims in a package. I've been sharing them and everyone peels the outer casing off before eating them. They won't eat the casing at all. Even after they saw me eat it. But they will eat balut.

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...
