Elder Cal Robertson's Mission

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. ...

Maupay na pasco. Wara ak regalo para sa inyo. Kini na email lang. Good morning America! And wherever else you guys might be. Merry Christmas liwat! This is my second Christmas here. My family isn't here; no time to relax and no snow. Almost everything is different...but I wouldn't trade this time here for anything else.  And this is what I would like to talk about, Christmas time. Even though it's the topic of everything right now. But it might be a little different than what you're used to because I want to talk about a gift this Christmas called the gift of Reality that President Martinez talked about to us. When we think about Christmas we can easily get trapped into thinking about some fairytale dreamland sort of thing. But the Reality is even better. The Reality that We have a father in heaven, That He sent His Son Jesus Christ to be born on earth as our Messiah. As Nephi says in The Book of Mormon in 1 Nephi 11:22:  22 And I answered him, saying: Yea, it is the lo...

Marami mga Palaka sa bahay namin. Tulungan namin! Hello everybody, kamusta kam.  This week has been great and spiritually fulfilling. We had MLC (Mission Leadership Conference) and were able have a visitor from the church headquarters, Brother Welch, from missionary department. He was amazing and taught many great principles to us. Especially about faith.  I guess I never realized how important it is to have faith; that by my faith I can help others. We read from Mosiah that Alma's faith and others were the reason for an angel to visit Alma the younger. And Ammon's faith and others helped converts thousands of Lamanites. Our faith really can do great things! As long as our eye is single to His glory, then our actions follow. The Lord can truly do much for and through us.  In this mission I have heard many people that want to change and become a great person as a reason to go on the mission. And it is a good desire to want to be better. But the truth is that the mission do...

Akong mga kapatid Hello family! and friends, how are yall!  This week we got to go on exchanges and see miracles! As the Song states, "let the Holy Spirit Guide". As we do all of the things that are needed to have the spirit with us, He Will Guide Us. Sometimes we think a voice telling us what to do to, be kept in the way, but D&C 58:26 suggests otherwise. But if we think of a Guide-a normal guide-it is someone that shows us the way, a light house. By action, example, only sometimes with words when the time is right. But for the most part that is another reason why we've been given prophets and scriptures, that we might be led by example.  With how many stories and words of God are there to read that he may even tell us directly the way to go. So just a guide showing the way, the scriptures and words of prophets tell us and show us the way that we might chose to follow. As we do all we can to follow Jesus Christ, Especially First through study and prayer, we will be g...

Kun may gusto may paraan, kun hindi, maraming dahilan   Good morning everybody. Kamusta kamo?  This day we were able to have a district council meeting. And we at a mall place.  This week has been full of miracles. One miracle I want to share is Saturday. That was the day we scheduled many return appointments and had many people we needed to teach. That was also the day that the Typhoon Pepito was passing through here. I had a prayer in my heart that we would be able to work and accomplish all our plans.  We were able to work the whole day, teaching many people which all had members participating in despite the typhoon. And even participate in a baptism! We were blessed to be able to work the whole day, We didn't come back to the apartment until night except for grabbing our bikes really fast to go to another appointment. It was truly a miracle.  We have been so blessed and also have found many more people to teach and help. I have learned so much about the aton...

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...

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.
