Hello, how is everything going? Thanks for all the letters. Don’t worry about sending more packages because I leave for Peru on Wed. the 28th at 10:00 a.m. I’m so excited I get to travel alone, which is a blessing, so I will be able to take it all in.
The food is ok here it’s a little better then the Galley. They have good salad and yesterday we had Freshetta Pizza for lunch, which made me think of when we had it at home. Mom would like it on Wednesdays because they have ice cream with a giant pot of marshmallow cream to put on your ice cream.
It makes me so happy to hear your everyday activities.
I went to the Temple again today it was amazing. I was so happy to be there and enjoy the peace that comes from being in the Temple. When I go to the one here I think about when I use to go with you and dad and how much fun it was. I received a letter from Grandma and Grandpa Pulsipher yesterday. It made me happy to hear that they are doing well.
I use the hymn book Stephanie got me for Christmas everyday in class. I got to see my picture and article you wrote in the Seagull because President Wright (his branch president) brought it to me. He said he still gets it from when they lived in San Diego.
Last Friday, the 16th was our first night teaching in the TRC (Teaching Resource Center) The TRC is were you go and teach people from BYU (members) who act like investigators. We taught the first Lesson. The Spirit was so strong even though I was teaching members. Most of the time it’s hard here but the Spirit makes things better.
On Saturday we do service in the bakery. I got to spread cheesecake and frost cakes. Saturday I prepared French toast and thought about cooking with Bobby and Jamie.
I also went to the RC (Referral Center) on Saturday this is where you send Book of Mormons and videos to people. I was able to talk to a man who was telling me how he was going to start going to our church and how he needed it in his life. He told me that he was not sure about other churches but he felt ours was right. He was moving to California and was planning on going to the “Mormon Church” out there. It’s so amazing to see how the Lord prepares people to hear the gospel. I just told him my testimony and hope the members in Northern California take care of him. So things are good.
Can you believe I’m leaving the country next week!? I got my hair cut today so I would look presentable for the mission president when I get down there. They didn’t do as good a job as grandma though. I’ll try and send some pictures of the MTC before I leave.
I just got your package and the pictures look great. The cookies are perfect! Oh by the way I saw Landon Pawn, he just got here today.

We just received Andrew’s first letter, it’s dated Feb. 7th the day he entered the Provo MTC.
It reads;
The first day is over and I think this letter is going to bring me some peace. I already miss you guys a lot. I think I’m still ok or going to be ok. The Spirit is strong here and I’m still excited to serve. I know it’s going to be hard but I know the Lord is with me.
I’m the only one in my district going to Peru. Most of the others are going to Mexico and my comp. is going to Bolivia. He is only here for three weeks also. Some Elders have been here for over their scheduled nine weeks, their visas didn’t come through. My comp is from Price Utah.
We met our District President, Brother Wright. He’s nice; he lived in San Diego so that’s good.
It’s the 8th now; it’s been a good day. I forgot a lot of the things I was going to tell you last night because I had to go to sleep.
I’m still excited to be here but I’m more excited to get out and serve. I love and miss you very much.
Andrew
