Hey!!!
I understood it for the most
part. Connecticut is good. Elder Watson is doing well, as a matter of
fact, it's his birthday today. So to celebrate a member is taking us to
Cheesecake Factory for lunch (: We'll probably be playing b-ball today, I
going to take it a little easy though. I really don't want to get
injured before I go home, that would stink. We are getting fed dinner
pretty much everyday, but lunch has been hard because we seem to always
be on the run. So you've probably seen transactions for fast food. And
it stinks because we pretty much don't have anything in our apartment,
just oatmeal and condiments. Neither my companion or I have any money (I
have just a little bit but that's been set aside for the packages that I
will be sending home sometime) and to top it off our monthly msf is
going to coming late next month. Egh! It's so annoying not having a
steady income of some sort cause you feel somewhat stuck at times.
However, I have been enjoying my time here in Connecticut. Most of the
members here are just loaded, it's beyond ridiculous and there are quite
a few members here that are dentists. We had stake conference yesterday
in which we had a live broadcast meeting from Salt Lake City, where
President Packer, Elder L. Tom Perry, and a few other speakers spoke to
the congregation about temples, missionary work, and strengthening
families. It was nice, everyone is excited for the Hartford Temple. The
building process of the temple will most likely start in June or July.
Mom...come on, you know that I
forgive you about the blog. It's not like I'm going to get mad or upset
and hulk smash everything haha. Sounds like you had a pretty full week.
You can probably guess what our week was full of SERVICE, of course to the members.
It's good that the Elders
finally got a car. We heard that our car might be getting stripped from
us and will be given to the new Sisters coming in. I don't like the idea
because we have a fairly large area and it is going to take a blow to
the work here if we are on bikes, we won't be able to do anything
(comparably speaking). A lot of changes are about to happen yet again
this transfer, because 18 new Sisters and 1 Elder is coming into the
mission. So there is probably going to be 6 or 7 new areas being added
to the mission. There have been a lot of rumors going around the
mission. For some reason or another some missionaries, including our
Zone Leaders, seem convinced that I'm getting transferred this transfer
in which I will be made an Assistant to the President. I highly doubt it
though, come on, my last transfer getting made AP and leaving right
after that, it seems silly and ridiculous to me. I've had a lot of
people predict and tell me that I will or should be AP throughout my
mission but I'm completely fine and happy where I'm at. I find joy in
being a proselyting missionary and that's enough for me at the time
being. Plus I don't know how much more tired I can get before I might
snap, just kidding. But I am super tired.
Love,
Elder Everett Alan Escobar
