I am so glad that you guys are answering these questions for me, it really makes emailing a whole lot better.
I think that things have settled down back home, unless the Jones' are going to take another chance at buying a pet, maybe they should try a cat haha I am just kidding
So things are going great here, we just moved into a new apartment and its a huge improvement, I am sending a picture of our new place.
As far as the work goes, two less-active families that we have been teaching were able to come to church yesterday and they both had a great experience and saw old friends and It was a blessing to see it. I think that the biggest struggle in my mission has been seeing these less-active people, people that have served missions, been endowed or sealed in the temple and still fall away from the church. Its just an eye opener that shows me that even after we have served missions or gone through the temple that things aren't "all downhill" from there. I remember something that Jake said, "falling out of the church and bed happens for the same reason, your not all the way in."
So this week I want you to tell me about a time where you heard modern day revelation, or council form Prophets then applied it, For me it was just this last conference where President Thomas Monson said that we should look at people not as they are but as what they can become, this has helped me so much as a missionary whether dealing with non progressing investigator or a companion or less active members, I try to imagine them in the temple, or at their baptism, it has helped me love the people here so much, Its like I can see a glimpse of how Heavenly Father sees his children.
I love all of you, mom I haven't received the book yet I think it will come this week.
Love Elder Proctor
