Hey!
An Earthquake! I didn't feel it, I don't know what day or time it
happened. But I guess it would make since if we didn't feel it, because
Newport is an island. I don't know, I guess if I was supposed to feel
it, I didn't recognize it. And President Packard told Elder Jensen that he will be
training, so....I'm going to have a grandson!
Along with leaving a
transfer early, apparently that is impossible because I can't leave no
sooner than 30 days before August 31. So President Packard said that he
felt that I need to go to school this next fall semester. So he said
that I won't be leaving in the July transfer, but I will be leaving in
between transfers. So I would be in a trio my last few days in the
mission. He said that I could leave August 1 at the earliest but he
wanted me to talk to you, he has given me permission to call you anytime
for applications to school and just anything related to departures. He
wanted me to talk to you on when I should leave the mission, I could
leave anytime in August. How long did the whole family want to stay and
tour the mission? There is plenty to see it's just up to you, how much
time you actually want to spend up here. So let me know. As for
schools I feel like I should spend at least 1 semester Lee College to
boost my GPA back up and then if I want to transfer somewhere after
that, I can do that. As for things that you could send in your next
package I need some more deodorant and baby aspirins.
Well this week,
Newport Ward seems so far to be doing better in feeding us, we have 5
dinner appointments for this week! Finally but hopefully it lasts
throughout the next few weeks. This week was filled with meetings and
member appointments, not so much appointments with investigators.
However, we found a new investigator tracting and right before I wrote
this e-mail, a lady walked up to me and asked for a 'Mormon Bible' and
that she would even pay for it. Of course I didnt make her pay, come on
they are free, but I did ask her why she was so eager to get a Book of
Mormon. She said that tomorrow was her husband's birthday and that he is
very fascinated with Mormons and so she went to several book stores
trying to find a Book of Mormon for sale, but never found one. But she
found US and the book/gift that she wanted to give her husband was free!
And we gave her several pamphlets and pass-along cards to go along with
the book! She even said that they had just moved here and that she and
her husband want to come to church!!! In my mind, I was like, "What the
heck is going on? I feel like I'm on Punk'd!" A new family of
investigators just feel into our laps. Finally the dry spell is over!!!
We have something concrete. But nobody at home or on the mission until
now has ever asked if they could buy a Book of Mormon from me. Yeah that
is one to write in the journal. Anywho, let me know how long you want
to spend up here when you come pick me up, I can get a hub (place that
we can stay) from Sister Shearer (she already offered to host us, if we
were to stay for a little while), I will have to get her phone number
and give it to you.
Love you very much,
Elder Everett Alan Escobar
