Christmas letter from the Philippines

We are in the best situation of our lives for Christmas!  Andrew John is Elder Robinson in Concepcion, Chile, Charity is Sister Robinson IV), in Sacramento, California Mission and we are Elder and Sister Robinson in Iloilo, Philippines Mission.  The four of us are having warm Christmases.  The day will come to us first since we are always living in the future as we look at the world clocks.
We had a Christmas party with the younger missionaries last night and again tonight.  We enjoy the associations with them, but find it really sad when they take part of our hearts with them as a batch leaves every six weeks, but we do get the last word with them as we get to have them for four hours before they leave to go home to do a career workshop with them to serve them in getting jobs as they arrive home for the rest of their lives.  We do mock job interviews, help them build thirty second power statements about themselves, teach them a little about writing resumes that are good advertisements of themselves, and have some fun with them.
We also start the wards and stakes who have invited us to have My Path devotionals so the Filipino people can either choose to take a course in Starting and Growing MY OWN Business, Education for a Better Job, or Job Search.  It is an amazing initiative for these people from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints by revelation from our Father in Heaven through His appointed servants.
What a great blessing to be a member of His Church and to have an opportunity to serve a full-time mission for Him to whom we owe everything!  And then we serve and discover that once again we are the receivers.  We love the people here and we continue to love and pray for each of you, Love Elder and Sister Robinson
      MERRY CHRISTMAS!
