Week 68

Ang katuyoan sa Balaan espiritu sa mga kinabuhi naton ug nag unsa ang akon sud-an uban sa akon kan-on kagabi?   mayap a bengi keko ngan*

Mipa bengi sa lahat! I'll let you all figure out that language. 

So many blessings and witnesses that the Lord has shown to us this past week though. I have been learning about the Spirit this past week and all his many roles in our lives. The Holy Spirit, or Holy Ghost, is the 3rd member of the Godhead, being Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost. All separate beings but One in purpose. The Holy Ghost testifies of truth and influences us to choose the right. 

As we submit our will to our Father in Heaven the Holy Ghost can have such a big impact on our lives, even change our lives. But it means choosing to; the entire way. Giving up all worldly desires and favorite sins to follow Jesus Christ. I know Jesus Christ lives because of the Holy Ghost, and because I have been guided and feel his influence in my life every day. I am yet another witness out of billions on this world and the next, spirit world, to testify The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is a Living Church with Living Revelations to guide us all back to our father to live with our families for eternity. 

We need to give our all as our portion to make this possible. Sumbit and sacrifice all to Heavenly father and Jesus Christ. "Nothing but the Best for the Lord". 

These past 2 weeks have been amazing as I have had so many opportunities to grow and love the people here, learn their language and be who God wants me to be. If we follow Jesus Christ all that happens if our Life will prepare us for something greater. And greater. I also ate tuna kinilaw yesterday, it was very delicious. I was also able to paint. The painting below is about "Feeling God's Light". Or that's what I tried to do. :)) Love y'all! Ingat kayo! amping mo, at hinay kamo!

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...
