Hello
Everybody,
Mom, I do know Elder Wooden, we went to high school together and we
played football earlier today as a matter of fact haha He is a cool
kid.
This week has been nuts, all of our investigators with baptismal
dates are progressing like crazy, if things go as planned they will be baptized
on september 15th. I would love it if you all would keep them in your prayers, I
have grown so close to them in the past few months and they mean so much to me.
Its kind of crazy for me to think about, but I have fallen in love with the
people here in the Philippines, I love them! and I know that this is where I am
supposed to be, Heavenly Father knew exactly where to put me. Where I could
learn, and help the people and invite them to come unto our Savior.
Oh
and about service, we do service but not as often as I would like. Filipinos
tell you that they dont need help. but every now and then I will help someone
draw water from a well, or haul a bucket of water, actually yesterday we decided
to go and visit a former investigator and while we were waiting we helped her
family take this hard corn off of the cob, it killed my thumbs but it was way
fun, I love doing things like that because it helps people here realize that us
missionaries are here to help them and not just to get more numbers.
I
love my mission, I love this Gospel, it changes the lives of the people we
teach, it continues to change me for the better, I know that Jesus Christ and
Heavenly Father live and that they love us, I know that through Joseph Smith,
the fullness of the gospel was restored.
I love all of you and I thank you
for all the prayers and emails and packages soon to come :)
Love,
Elder
Proctor
