Mi familia! Buenos dias! FELIZ CUMPLEAÑOS DANNY!
Estoy
haciendo bien. Esta semana fue muy bien. I did understand those
sentences, you might have had one or two spelling/spacing errors, I
think. You never did respond to my text that I sent you asking if you had mailed my contacts. I have some news for you. Right before the mission-wide conference on Saturday,
President Packard came up to me and told me that both he and Sister
Packard feel as if I need to go to school and that they want me to go to
school this fall semester, of course if I still wanted to go. He also
said Sister Packard came up with the idea of putting mini-missionaries
within the area after I leave till the end of the transfer. So that the
area won't have to be hindered in any way and the work would still be
able to go forward. It's good for the youth of the church and it's an
easy fix. So you should expect a phone call from President Packard
sometime soon. I will be talking to him today, I have been praying and
fasting. So flight plans might change...
The meeting with Elder Russell M. Ballard, Elder Christiansen, and Elder Eyring was awesome. That was a very, very spiritual day. I don't think that there was any bit of negativity within that whole entire day it was great. There weren't any big, dramatic changes in the mission, none of the boundaries were changed or anything like that. Elder Ballard gave us the commission to become 'Master Teachers'. The whole meeting was about bettering ourselves and those around us through our words and actions and creating true, loving relationships with the members.

Well we have been making the
transition with the new Sister missionaries, Sister Rivera and Sister
Crane (I have known Sister Rivera for quite some time, she's cool.
Sister Crane is straight out of the MTC, she is quiet for the most part
but she's nice.) The work has been progressing within the ward we have
received more referrals from the members as well as dinners. We expect
to have quite a few new investigators in the coming weeks.Sister Rivera
and I made a big push with the bishop to let us be at Ward Council. We
knew that the bishop had refused permission to previous missionaries
from the meeting, but we were determined to get into that meeting. After
an hour long conversation of petitioning and amending we were granted
access to go to Ward Council (: Boo-yah! Finally. Now we will truly know
what's happening in the ward and how we can best help the members.
That's so cool that Chelsea is
having her baby! Please tell Serena that I hope that everything goes
well and that she feels better. It's good that the missionaries got to
speak in the ward.
Wow
you're buying tile already, the upstairs must be coming along fairly
well, especially if you are working on the small details now. Such as
the door handles, faucets, knobs, and what not. No you hadn't told me
that Matt and Kristen moved to Utah, I had heard that they were in Utah,
but I didn't know that they had actually 'moved' there.
Hope that you are successful in
all of your endeavors and that the Spirit of the Lord will continually
go about you throughout the course of this week.
Love you,
Elder Everett Alan Escobar
PS I won't QUIT. "I'm too legit, too quit" (Not that I'm prideful or anything, I'm quoting a movie).
