Elder Javillo writes his first letter from the mission field

Today, I received, mysteriously a letter from Elder Javillo. It was sitting in a nice little package, along with three other letters for me to deliver to a few other other people, on my kitchen counter. No postage on the outside...no mailing address. I'm pretty sure his family are the secret messengers but I haven't had a chance to call them yet. Regardless... what a wonderful surprise after a day of work. I must say, and I apologize to all of the rest of you Elders--you know we love you all--but Elder Javillo WINS the prize for being the neatest letter writer of all so far. He has beautiful penmanship. Elder Ultra's letters are fairly legible, but Elder Scarlett and Elder Behira's letters are sometimes as hard to decifer as cracking some difficult code. I've determined that they should both be doctors of some sort.
Anyways, Elder Javillo says:

It's been two weeks in my area and I am loving it. The people are very humble and the lifestyle here is very different compared to Canada. Most of the families here are big..at least six family members. Their houses are small. Picture a house which is your kitchen, living room and bedroom all combined with six people living there. I must say that we are very fortunate people compared to them. NEVERTHELESS, they have a happy and complete family. That's what I love about Filipinos. No matter how hard life is, they still have a reason to smile and continue living. The challenge we have here, and our goal, is to reactivate members. Some cannot afford to give up a day of work, especially Sunday or else they don't have food for the next day. Life here is like, 'if you work today, you have food for tomorrow.' The church is kind of far from where they live. So, instead of spending money for transportation, they would rather save it for something else. What I have learned here is that giving yourself to them and to serve them and show your love to them and always remind them that they are highly favored of God. We are all highly favored of God. We may be rich or poor but Heavenly Father loves us equally. Find opportunities to serve others. I love and miss you all. Till next time Elder Javillo

It sounds like he has already caught the spirit of missionary work and what the Gospel is truly all about doesn't it? Hoorah for Zion Elder Javillo!
