Good morning,
Well, easter was just not the same here in the Philippines this year. Just an average day of work. They did not even mention it in church... But it's all good though because it was easter for me! We got so much done this week. I hit a record high of lessons taught in a week of 60+. And I was also battling mild depression... haha I think I gained about 10 pounds this week because of my mental state but that is passing now. There is nothing that I can not overcome in the strength of the Lord. This week I also had exchanges with Elder Gibbons which was great. It is always nice to be able to get together with a cool american and talk for a while. But he just transferred today so I wont see him for a while. Church on Sunday was awesome. 160+ people at church with 8 investigators made me happy. And we were able to extend baptismal dates to 7 of the 8. I am convinced that in life, the better you get and the closer you get to God, the bigger and harder the trials... But it's only because that's what we need to become even better! I am trying to apply the principle of good men becoming better and better men becoming saints through the atonement. I am a little bummed that I wasn't there to make your easter better but that's all right. Just suffer for 6 more months and I'll be home. The word in the zone right now is that I am going to transfer in the next couple weeks. Hopefully I don't step down though because there will be a general authority at the next leadership training... We don't know who it will be but it's always cool to listen to a GA. Two weeks until mothers day! What are you gonna do for Mom this year? Mom, I work hard for you every day because I know those blessings will come. Our call/skype will be on May 12th from 10am to 1. That is Philippine time though because I haven't done the math yet.. I am excited to see you all. You better be there. And you better make it an awesome mothers day for the mother I love so much! I would love to see some pictures of all of the stuff your doing. Seeing you guys makes me miss you less. I love you all so much. I hope that you all are taking life by the horns and "DOING WORK". At least that's what big black would say. Have a great week this week. Till next time...
Elder Pulsipher
