Just so you know, I am super frustrated right now because I have a bunch of pictures to upload right now of the new area but I can't get this computer to read my usb so bummer for you guys but maybe next week.So my new area is La Castellana and my new companion is Elder Tallano. We get along really well and we work super hard. We pulled some pretty huge numbers this week even though we were in Bacolod for two days. My zone has 20 missionaries and only two americans... But transfer day is tomorrow so maybe we will get some new ones here soon. My area is still in the middle of no where, but its more just a bunch of sugar cane than it is jungle which is kind of boring. But it is right at the bottom of mount canlaon. A huge volcano... Its pretty sweet to look at every day. As for the members here, the branch I am in is super small still. 50 people came to church yesterday but they are a lot stronger members than in Vallehermoso. We have a couple returned missionaries here that will work with us which is nice and there is a lot of sa. It makes the branch so much better if there is sa... We had a baptism on saturday which went great. It just started about an hour late because it was raining super hard and she didn't show up until 4. Our meeting in bacolod last week was the reason that we had an emergency transfer.. I had to get stepped up before MLC. It was a really good day, I got to see a lot of my friends that I have really missed. I took a bunch of pictures but I can't upload them.. sorry. We also finally got to eat some good food for the first time. President takes care of the mission leaders which is sweet! Then on Wednesday we had to give a 3 hour training to our zone which was okay I guess. I hate giving training's, especially to other missionaries and especially when the assistants to the President decided to come to La Carlota. I feel so unqualified and insufficient when I train but it's a skill that I need to learn so I hope that I can get better at it. Oh yeah, I almost forgot. I do have one thing to ask you guys for. Can you send me like a push up bar or some of those little perfect push up things that you get at wal mart? I want to be able to work out so bad and it's killing me how fat I am getting.. That's the only thing I want... haha Anyways, I miss you guys like crazy and love you all so much. You are all in my prayers and I hate it that no body will tell me the stuff that's going on at home, Kelly... But, the church is still true and I have a feeling that this is gonna be one of my favorite area's. I have such a strong testimony of the power of the atonement. Not only in the ability that it gives us to be forgiven of our sins but in the enabling power that it gives us to do things that we just cant do on our own. We all need that power, some of us more than others... I love you guys so much I can't wait to here from you guys next week. Please keep me in your prayers!
Love,
Elder Pulsipher
