Week 98

D&C 128:22 "Shall we not go on in so great a cause?"

Hey everyone! We had such a great week full of miracles! Its hard to put into words how amazing this work is. The work of God, just as music and the dancing steps to it. The dancing looks awkward and is really hard and uncomfortable to follow without the music! But once we hear the music the dancing is a joy. I have followed the steps of the gospel all my life, but now after everything I have experienced I have really come to hear the music of the gospel, which is the joy and blessings and hope that comes from following Christ.
 
We had exchanges this week which led us to traveling a lot. So I had a lot of time to think and read. Something I was thinking of is how God is real, and not just a God but a loving father in heaven. We literally have nothing to fear, as He said to a revelation given to Joseph Smith as recorded in D&C section 6 in the 36th verse, "Look unto me in every thought; doubt not, fear not."

Not just a commandment but an amazing reality--He loves us so much. I've noticed the first principle we share to others is about how God is our Loving Heavenly Father. What an amazing, most important truth. Without God's love nothing we share is important or really means anything. So it is with us, nothing WE do is important or means anything without having love first. As it says in the Book of Mormon in the 46th verse of Mormon, chapter 7, "..if ye have not charity, ye are nothing,.." As stated here charity is the Pure Love of Christ.

I hope you all will be able to pray the the Niog family, they are awesome, they just need some encouragement. And especially your prayers! 

D&C 128:22 "Brethren, shall we not go on in so great a cause? Go forward and not backward. Courage, brethren; and on, on to the victory! Let your hearts rejoice, and be exceedingly glad. Let the earth break forth into singing. Let the dead speak forth anthems of eternal praise to the King Immanuel, who hath ordained, before the world was, that which would enable us to redeem them out of their prison; for the prisoners shall go free."

Hope you all have a great week.

With Love, Elder Robertson

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...
