I am so bummed that the card cut us off! I didn't even get to say happy mothers day to my mom and tell her how much I love her. Mom I miss you so much, you have done so much for me in my life and you are probably the biggest reason that I have been able to accomplish the things I have in my life. I am so grateful for your amazing example for me in every aspect of your life, your faith, your endless love and concern for your kids, your constant search for righteousness and your service in and love for the gospel, and of course for your always striving to be as fit and healthy as possible even though you are perfect just the way you are. You make me always want to be better and reach higher, I love you so much and I hope you had an awesome mothers day.
So yeah, my week was pretty hectic. We got the transfer announcement on tuesday night and I packed my stuff and went to bacolod and met Elder Cano(filipino). We then returned to our area and found out that the apartment has no water or furniture, and on top of that our rice cooker was broken. But, that wasn't a problem because we have no food anyways. President changed our schedule in this area so we wake up, prepare, and then walk straight to port and take a boat to our area. The boat is just a tiny wooden skiff with a little motor on it. We then teach until 12, find a member to eat lunch at and then teach until 5 and go home because there are no boats after 5. If we miss the boat, we sleep at a members house in our area. My area is straight Cebuano which is gonna take a while to get used to, but my area is cool and I am loving missionary work right now. There is no better feeling than going to someones house, finding out there problem, and then helping them turn to the Lord and rely on Him to find peace and strength to overcome it. It makes it worth the walk every day. I was so stoked to talk to you guys earlier and so bummed that the card time ended. You guys all sound great and I love you so much. I can't help but feel like everyone is growing up and moving on without me in life. But I know I have already learned things and will yet learn things that I could never experience anywhere else. I know that I was sent here for a reason, I am just working on finding that reason or that person that needs me... Anyways, I don't what to bore you with my worries, what is important that this work is real and it is moving forward under the guidance and direction of our Savior. I know that there is absolutely no way I could be learning these languages or teaching the way I am without the spirit and the help that I feel pushing me every single day. I love you all and I was so happy to here your voices There is no doubt that we have the best family in the world and I am so grateful for you support and the things you have done and the examples you have set for me to help me get here today. I love and miss you. Keep killing life and Im gonna try to turn the Buena Vista Branch of 20 people to a ward of three hundred. Keep praying for me and Ill keep you in my prayers and fasting. I love my MOM! Happy mother Day!!!!!!!
Stay Sweet,
Elder Pulsipher
