well some things happen in ways that you wouldn't expect nor like. i've been having a very difficult week this week but hopefully thing will be ok.
i'm now in Guihulngan with elder Pineda. he is a good elder and Guihulngan is a good place. well i guess it really depends on how you look at it. it has the characteristics of a deserted island. it is a very nice view if you like jungles, mountains and beaches. as a matter of fact, the drive here was the most gorgeous drive that i've had the opportunity of riding. if i had had the chance to take pictures i would have most definitely jumped out and done so. the area is also roughly similar in beauty. it is a small city, far away from normal civilization. of course they still have things like internets (that thing Al Gore invented), radios, tvs, cars, trikes and things like that. they are just in a lower abundance. the nearest main city is san carlos which is actually over an hour's drive away. there they have a legitimate shopping center and so forth. i don't think i'll be going there very often though because of the distance. i'm in Negros Oriental, in the farthest away area in the mission. if i were to go any farther, i would be in Cebu mission. as a matter of fact, they speak Cebuano here and i have yet to learn a word of Cebuano. i'll just continue to speak Hiligaynon to them, hopefully they'll understand.
i will miss Kabankalan. my time there was too short, i wish i could have stayed there for my last transfer. 51 days left.
