Hello,
We are alive and okay! Me and Elder Jensen are actually
alive, we have power, and we are back in Newport. To me this hurricane
was pretty pathetic and a lady that works at Walmart, who previously
lived in Corpus Christi, TX agreed with me. However, the residents here
keep saying that we got hit pretty hard....yea whatever. The most you
see here is just some trees/branches/leaves on the ground, other than
that that's it. So we are okay. This past week was good in gaining new
investigators and in taking pictures. One new investigator that we
received this past week was from a part-member, less active family.
Apparently the husband is less active, his wife (Laura Girard) is not a
member but has had the discussions from the missionaries before.
However, now she feels like she is ready to be baptized and both her and
her husband have already set a goal to be sealed in the temple around a
year's time. So yea golder than golden. We received another
investigator from a member referral given to us, her name is Diane. And
the day we knocked on her door, was the day that her ex-sister-in-law
died and she was pretty distraught about it, she talking and just
unloading all the weight she had been feeling and carrying on us. We
were definitely supposed to knock on her door that very day. During our
first visit with her we learned that she is surrounded by mormons and
that she already has a Bible, Book of Mormon, Pearl of Great Price, and a
Doctrine & Covenants. Finally two more people that we can work
with. Michael and Justin St. Pierre are still a little out of it lately,
it's quite unfortunate. So in the pictures you will see us on the cliff
walk, our halloween costumes for the trunk-or-treat, etc. It was a
good, interesting week. Oh my, the adventures that come along on the
mission.
Love,
Elder Escobar
