Hey-Low!
So I got my flu shot, but Elder Jensen was very reluctant. I
don't think he likes needles very much. Oh well, we had a good week. We
traveled on bikes the whole week pretty much (to save up our last bit
of miles), must admit that we are a little sore but it's alright,
nothing we can't handle. We gained 2 new investigators (Meyleen and
Erki) this week and apparently they already know that the Book of Mormon
is true. I questioned them on it asking, 'So how do you know that the
Book of Mormon is true?' and they responded, 'Because every time we read
or pray about it, we feel a good/comforting feeling and it makes us
want to do good things in our life.' Right after they said that, in my
mind I thought, 'BINGO: We Have a Winner!' Then Elder Jensen and I
explained that these feelings are promptings from the Holy Ghost and we
talked about receiving answers to prayers. So that was a breakthrough
for us. Michael is doing alright, he just needs to get himself back
together (Humpty-Dumpty had a great fall), his son came back. We don't
have any details, all we know is that his son is in a rehab center and
it was discovered that he is bipolar ): However, apparently both Michael
and his son, Justin (who is in rehab) are diligently praying and
searching through the Book of Mormon. So that's a good thing, I think
that it will take time but they are on the right track. So it sounds
like the Kingwood Republican Women's Fundraiser wasn't as grand as was
expected. President Packard has recently changed some of the rules in
the mission by putting more responsibility in the missionaries hands,
agency is key to the building up of Zion. Sounds like changes are still
happening in the ward as well. This week we had a ward open-house event
which was good we had a few non-members. We have been assisting the
Young Men's President a lot because his presidency has just been wiped
out of existence with stake callings. So on the topic of being feed, the
member are doing better and yes we don't have very many active-members
in the ward. There are probably only 8 sisters in Relief Society (so
yea) and the rest of the sisters are in Primary. So this week we are
getting feed 3 times, but the fridge and the shelves in our apartment
are pretty much empty....): So we have been going through food like
crazy, it just doesn't seem to last. But the ward is doing better in
feeding us, it was worse at the beginning of the month. Everything is
getting better. I hope Aaron and Danny are keeping out of trouble (; and
you might as well add Dad in there as well. He apparently didn't treat
you right by not giving you enough notice or time haha. Well hope you
have a great week and hopefully I can last frugally on my debit card for
the rest of the month. Did grandma and grandpa get my card yet? Just
curious. Anyways will see you in less than a year! (: and ): Take care!
Love,
Elder Everett Alan Escobar (Missionary/Son/Grandson/Brother/Friend/etc)
PS:
I heard that things are stirring up intensely in the Middle East, not
good. Here we go again. We pull the troops out then we may push them
right back in.
