November 22, 2013: MTC Week 4 - First Proselyting Experiences

Hello everyone!


So we did a proselyting activity this week!  We went into Manila.  I cant even explain to you the things I have seen.  We have life easy.  I had to hold the tears back that night.  They live in houses that are the size of our front rooms.  That is if they have a good job.  No running water.  No stove.  Rice every day.  Its amazing to go and see that.  But the truly amazing thing to see is that there wasn't one person that I talked to that didn't smile.  They have nothing, but they don't need much.  These people here are amazing.  So many little kids!  They call me Joe haha.  Like G.I. Joe.  And they all yell "tall" in English.  They are so cute.  So I guess they filmed the movie Bourne Legacy in the part of Manila that I was in.  So if you want to see where I walked go check it out!  I couldn't take any pictures while I was out.  I honestly didn't even want to, you just want to share with everyone the message this Gospel has.  You really start to love the people and want to give them hope in life.  There are too many people here that don't know the purpose of life, and don't even know why they are here.  It was crazy though because in the little block that we were in there was like 20,000 people.  It was the size of City Creek, maybe.  This place is amazing though!  This Gospel is amazing.  I have met some great people.


Other than that there hasn't been much this week.  Just the same language study.  I have one more full week in the MTC then I am in the field!


Happy Thanksgiving everyone!


I love you so much!


Mahal po kayo!
