San Enrique, La Carlota Zone

And the transfer result is......!
San Enrique, La Carlota Zone.

I have moved down south to the Municipality of San Enrique. It's much much smaller than my lovely city of Cadiz. The people here are different too, and there are a lot less. They aren't as open. They don't respond to us too often when we say good afternoon to them. But we are looking to fix that. I truly appreciate not having to transfer until now. I hate packing! But it all went all right. My new comp is Elder Panilagao, another filipino. He's from near Quezon City. His first area was also in Cadiz, a year ago. Oh, about the map, if you can't find San Enrique just look for La Carlota, we are 7 kms west of it, on the coast.

So, last week in Cadiz was fun. Visited investigators and members telling them that I won't be there next week. Sad but also happy moments. Sad because I had to say good bye, but happy because I have friends to say good bye to. It was really just work as normal, except Thursday. In the morning I washed everything, boy did my hands hurt. In the afternoon it was all dry, then packed it all up.

Another thing that I mean to tell you every week, but keep forgetting is about my weight. I found a scale the other week and weighed myself. We wont say whant I started out as when I left the MTC. But in the six months that I have been here I have lost 40 pounds! All my shirts are baggy now and if I don't wear my belt I can easily slip my pants off with out undoing them. Cool!

Still getting to know the investigators and members here, but it has only been three days. We went on splits the other day and it was a good chance to get to know the branch missionaries. Yes it is just a branch here in San Enrique, and the meeting house is tiny! The one in Cadiz had a ward and Branch and was the Stake Center, so it was pretty big, for a church here on Negros.

Well, thats all for this week!
