Joshua Woodruff "sees people differently" after a two-year mission experience

Posted by Fred Steiner on January 3, 2013 - 4:43pm

Joshua Woodruff says he looks at life differently after completing a two-year mission project in Nicaragua with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

“I see people differently now,” he explains. “We are all children of the same God. Now I see the divine potential in people. I’ve learned what people can become.”

His two-year experience came after he accepted a mission call from his church. While a senior at Bluffton High School in 2009-10 he began filling out application forms through the church and before he graduated knew that he would be going to Nicaragua.
