Hello Everybody,

Mom, I haven't gotten my License or present yet, but think I will this week, you can just hold on to my real license I think the temporary one will work perfectly. I cant believe that they have already told you when I will be speaking in sacrament meeting, that day sounds great! Will they give me a topic? please say they will haha we will see how my English is by then haha.

I haven't really done anything for my birthday yet, we did go eat lunch at this place called FatKidInside haha I know great name for a restaurant, they have some really good American burgers and that was about it.
This week has been another great one, Bro Sannie(the one in the wheelchair) came to church again and had a great experience, except for this little terror 3 year old girl that wants to push him around in the chair and we have to scare her off haha.

On Friday we were walking down this busy street, sweating bullets as usual, and this old man gets our attention and waves for us to go to him so we did, He asked us why we walk instead of drive cars, we told him that we do it so that we can talk to everyone we can, he then invited us into his home, we then found out that he used to be taught by the missionaries years ago and had a Book of Mormon and has been reading it! We were so shocked, as Elder Tietjen and I walked away we asked each other did that really happen? We will be meeting with him and his wife this week to teach more to them. We are excited. I love this work.

I love all of you hope all is well.

Love,
Elder Proctor


On a side note, not from Jared, this was the news article that happened the day Jared sent this email.  No mention of the storm whatsoever. :)

(CNN) -- The world's strongest storm of the year so far plowed across the northern Philippines on Monday, killing at least one person and leaving 20 fishermen missing.
Packing winds as strong as 200 kilometers per hour (124 mph), Typhoon Utor made landfall early Monday on the east coast of the Philippine island of Luzon, damaging hundreds of houses.
"It's the strongest typhoon we've had so far on the planet this year," said CNN International meteorologist Samantha Mohr. "So that gives you some idea of the magnitude of this system."
Utor, known in the Philippines as Labuyo, churned west-northwest over Luzon, dumping heavy rain on the island's hilly terrain and bringing the risk of landslides. It weakened as it moved over land, and by Monday afternoon, it had begun to head out into the South China Sea.

Jared mentioned nothing of this storm in his letter today. The storm track was a direct hit.
