Hey Ya'll
So with the notary thing here is what happened, I came
out of the internet shop then we went to the Barber and as I was talking
to the barber I thought he might know where I could find one, sure
enough he did, there was an attorney office 2 doors down from the barber
and, we went into the office the guy there did what he needed to do and
it was done haha I was amazed at how easy it was and it only cost 50
pesos not too bad.
This week has been great, we have had some progress
in getting support from the members, and we got some referrals that we
plan to contact this week. As far as the families we are teaching go,
the first family is a mom her two sons and a grandma, they are very nice
to us. They actually offered us coffee after our first appointment, we
just told them that we don’t drink coffee and they were nice about it.
The mom is actually a Methodist pastor, she was very surprised to know
that we were volunteers and that we don’t get paid to be missionaries.
Another family we are teaching are amazing, they are practically
members, when we found them they already had a picture of the Manila
temple hanging up in their house. What happened with them is that they
were taught by the missionaries a long time ago but then they were both
transferred and so the family just kind of slipped through and haven’t
seen missionaries for years.
I am loving this area, its challenging and rewarding, Elder Tietjen is a great missionary we have lots of fun and work hard.
I love all of you, thanks for the support

Mom,
As far as the ID thing goes even a forged one would work, and yes I do need more than just a passport, that’s coming from my mission president, It just needs to be a photo of me with a name in a semi-looks legit sort of way haha
but if you guys don’t want me to come home then I wouldn’t worry too much about it haha just kidding I will keep looking around for a notary but the clock is ticking and I have yet to find one. Either way it will all work out if they ask for a second photo id at the airport I will just jedi mind trick them, my force is through the roof these days haha
In other news this week has been great, Elder Tietjen and I had a companionship fast so that we could find a family that would be willing to hear our message. And by the end of the week we found 3 families! that’s pretty neat! We are still struggling with the lack of support from the ward and the fact that our area is 28km away from our apartment but through the atonement we are made able! I love this work. I know that its true, I know that we have living prophets and apostles on the earth today and that Heavenly Father reveals his will to them, I know that Jesus lives, and loves us too.
I love all of you, thanks for the prayers and support

Hey Er'body,
This week has been great, we watched the worldwide
training broadcast and its just what we needed. We don’t have the best
support from the members when it comes to missionary work. So we are
hoping that this will get them excited about it. As of now Elder Tietjen
and I have just been tracting, its going good but we all know that
there is a better way to gather Israel.
Mom don’t worry about the money, I have officially stopped buying
stuff I just need to send something home and that will be the last of
it.
Also who is this Devon that spoke with Reeve? haha
I love all of you, I wont go easy
Love Elder Proctor
PS
So I haven’t been able to get my license paper signed, I will still
work on it but just in case can you send me some sort of photo id asap,
even if you have to make a fake one, I need some sort of photo id
besides my passport to get on the plane in Cauayan when i come home. I
really need this so it would be great if you did this. thanks

Hello, Everyone
So mom first answer, No we didn’t watch that broadcast yet but we will this weekend.
Yes I am training, My companion's name is Elder Tietjen from Baltimore Maryland, he is a great missionary. He however makes me want to find my MTC teachers and beat them up because when I left the MTC I couldn’t speak Tagalog like Elder Tietjen can. The two of us are both new to our area so its been challenging getting around and stuff like that, but its great. I love my new area and my new companion and most of my old ones haha. In case you were wondering yes I do scare him, as a matter of fact last night I scared him 3 times within an hour haha I am too good at it. He's a good sport about it I am sure he has payback coming my way.
Last night I was a little scared because the Assistants texted us and they said that President wanted to meet with me this morning, so I thought of all of the reasons why he would want to talk to me and there were three of them either there was a death in the family, there would be an emergency transfer, or it would be some lunch thing that the Carlos' were doing...So we show up to the mission home this morning and luckily it was just a lunch for the Elders I will be going home with. It was fun to get together with all of them.
I Love all of you, Thank you for your constant support and prayers.
I love this work
I wont go easy
