Hello,

Well nobody did the "assignment." Oh well that's okay. I found out today that I will be transferred so I started packing up and cleaning the apartment, It was weird because the next time I pack up my stuff will most likely be in October.
This week we had a Zone Conference in Cauayan one thing that stood out to me was something my Mission President said, He asked us what we were going to do with the time we had left on our mission whether it be a week or 22 months, I answered in my head "I wont be going out without a fight, I wont go easy"
Well I love you all.

Love,
Elder Proctor

Hey, Family

This week has been great, we got another apartment because they are splitting our area in 2, we are excited about it and so are the members in the ward. Now there will be missionaries in the farther areas.
This week we had our missions first Mission Leaders Council, its no longer Zone Leaders Council because there are now what is called "Sister Trainers" our Mission President called them for all the Sisters that are in and going to be in our mission, there is a ton.
As of right now I am not a trainer, but there is a pretty good chance that I will train next transfer, President may or may not have told me so haha Speaking of the Carlos' they are going to be home soon, the 1st of July they would love it Mom and Dad if you went to their homecoming.
I want to apologize for making you think that your emails aren't awesome, I should be thankful for what I get, I am grateful for all of your support that you constantly give and for your constant prayers.
Mom, I would love to answer your question but I cant right now, because I am not done yet... so I will answer that one come October okay.
I think that I will bring back the assignments that I used to do, So to start things up again I would like for you to share an experience where you were led by the spirit to do something and the result of following that guidance.
I love all of you,
Love Elder Proctor

Hello Er'body

Well this week my companion woke up one morning with intense pain in his knee, so we took him to the "doctor" and  he said that he needed to rest it, so we have been stuck in the house for most of the week, I am beyond cabin fever! But I love Elder Allen we get along so well all the other missionaries are jealous haha.

Hey mom can I get you to send me Grandma Goodwins potato salad? it would be awesome if you did.
Last night I made Cocoa and Tuna sandwiches for Elder Allen and I, he liked it.

Well I love all of you

Hello Family,
Well we managed to stay alive haha, there wasnt anything really bad that happened. Just know that we are 100% okay. I am however all typed out and there isnt to much to say. Just know that I love you all, I really enjoyed skyping last week, Its too bad we didnt do that everytime huh, oh well the next time I go on a mission we will be sure to do that!
Elder Allen and I are staying super busy and having fun too, We got to feed a monkey the other day but we didnt have our cameras so no pictures, maybe next time.
I Love this work, I wish it wasnt coming to an end for me. I am 75% terrified and 25% excited. I have no idea what I am going to do when I come home, but for now I will work.
I love you all
Have fun,
Love Elder Proctor

Hey Yall
This has been a great week, I found out that there is a chance that I might train again! I will know for sure in a couple of weeks.
on friday we had a surprise visit form Elder Nielson of the Area Presidency, He spoke to us about the Enabling Power of the Atonement. He had us read a talk by Elder Bednar so we could participate more. It has changed the way I pray, and the way I teach and commit investigators.
I know the Atonement is real and that we can use it for everything! Not just to wash away sins but to overcome weaknesses, to give up weapons of rebellion,and to sacrifice.
I love all of you, I am sorry this is short, but at least its not long winded haha

Lawdy Hallelujah! 

I am so happy these days! here are some reasons why.
Sister Vivian finally accepted the baptismal challenge!
I know that God is mindful of all his children everyhwhere
My Companion inspires me to be better.
I know that my family loves me back home. 
I have a testimony of the Atonement and Restoration 
I am a Disciple of Jesus Christ, 
I am a part of the most important work! 

  35 Now have we not reason to rejoice? Yea, I say unto you, there never were men that had so great reason to rejoice as we, since the world began; yea, and my joy is carried away, even unto boasting in my God; for he has all apowerball wisdom, and all understanding; he comprehendeth all things, and he is a cmercifulBeing, even unto salvation, to those who will repent and believe on his name.
I love you all 
Love Elder Proctor
