Week 73

Maupay na bagong tuig! 2025 marami mga gagamba sa uma namin. Sana 100 ka buok sila balang araw🕷 walang puno, sa qwarto nga may labahan lang
 
Happy new year sa inyo lahat! I'm so grateful for the time we all have now to change our lives especially for this upcoming year. We always have New Year's Resolutions but we really need something higher, or greater than that. If we have resolutions to be better we will always fail. But if we have purpose focused on Jesus Christ, or Think Celestial. We might have slow spots or stumbling blocks but we will always progress. Christ is the perfect example. Focus and the hardest work on anything else, even given years to work on, can never be perfect. As we focus on Christ and to be like Him, always trusting, we will eventually become as He is. Perfect, perfect happiness, perfect family in every aspect. God truly wants us to become as he is. 

The work this week has been great and we are truly having successes in many ways from the Lord. The work of convincing people to repent is hard but when we pray and hope and do all we can, and then the people use their agency to accept Christs' invitation, it fills us with so much joy! 

We had a great Christmas and sung many songs. We then also taught many people and were able to see 2 children of God accept the invitation to come to church. We were so happy! 

Hopefully there will be 3 baptisms this January! If not, I can have the consciousness that God is using us and that we are His instruments. Have a great New Year and Happy 2025! Kitakits sa sunod tuig!

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...
