Elder Cal Robertson's Mission

Don't mind doing laundry, and might keep washing white shirts by hand. 11 people came to church. Had MLC (Mission Leadership Conference). Had exchanges, found student living with inactive member family and wants to go to church and has been reading the Book of Mormon. Raining but worked hard all day.

Kadi ye children of the Lord Hello family! At mga kaibigan ko. Kamusta kayong lahat. We went to Manila this past week for visa things I guess. It took 3 days out of our work week which was sad. After having the big family come to church last week I really wanted to visit them more, and now we have another meeting in Tacloban! Butlaw ak...  But it was still an amazing week!  Even because of transfer week and having to go to Manila. Though we got to do a session in the temple for initiatories which was amazing. I never realized how much I missed it. Truly a miracle we were able to go. Then this past week we were able to achieve our goals and surpass them. We had 9 people come to church last week then this week 10 people. The picture below at church are all non-members that we invited to church that came:)  God Is truly leading us to his elect here in Calbayog. As we are worthy... what does that mean? In the gospel topics it says, worthiness is righteousness. Choosing the ri...

Init kaayo suod sa akon tyan Hello Everybody! This week has been amazing, even more miracles than the last. We went on exchanges and were able to have a great study and also have the spirit strong with us. As we came to our first appointment the brother didn't want to be taught, be as we talked we said if we could share our testimony. He agreed and we were able to feel the Holy Spirit there. We told him what he was feeling and then he opened up to say that he has felt this feeling before at church. When he attended before.  Then came a lady on the street selling random things for cooking and we were able to share about The Book of Mormon to her and our testimonies. Again the Spirit was there and we told her what this Joy she was feeling.. it was the spirit of God testifying to her that what we said was truth.  Then to our next appointment we had a first lesson with a guy that came to church and started reading The Book of Mormon. He said he had anxiety and depression, he used ...

Maligayon na bagong taong. Bantay kayo para sa mga uod Hello every body! Happy new year! This year has been so great already! We had many miracles and saw God working through us and His children here. I have been contemplating God's love for us and all His blessings that He has given. One way I love to feel God's love is through hymns. One hymn we sung in sacrament service was called "I Stand All Amazed" number 193. I stand all amazed at the love Jesus offers me,  Confused at the grace that so fully he proffers me. I tremble to know that for me he was crucified,  That for me, a sinner, he suffered, he bled and died.  Oh, it is wonderful that he should care for me Enough to die for me!  Oh, it is wonderful, wonderful to me! I want to testify also what the First Presidency said in the 1st sentence of the Bicentennial proclamation of the Restoration of the Fullness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Which states, "We solemnly proclaim that God loves His children in ever...

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...
