Good week! Elder Gagatam had a surprise transfer so Elder Robertson didn't get to say goodbye. Trying to help other missionaries keep the rules and be better leaders.
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...
Alooooohaaa. This week has been great, and I can now say a full prayer in Cebuano or at least opening, say what I'm thankful for, and then close. I can say "please bless..." on a good day. So yk I'm practically fluent by now. I have 2 weeks lefts which pretty crazy. Imma be glad to have a Filipino companion but also I think imma miss having an American one too. We had these prayers on our floor of our dorm building and what we all did was cram into one room and then someone gave a prayer as a farewell prayer which was pretty cool, you could just feel that energy of love just flowing through the room yk. And we did that twice. Then another time the choir director said she could hear us at night because her room is below ours, so that night we decided to get every Elder we could find and cram into one room again and sing the song as loud as possible that she gave us, I thought that was just spectacular. I also bought can a pringles just incase u were wondering. And s...
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. ...
