(Excerpts
from his email)
it was a good week for us. we had a baptism this Wednesday. Paola finally
got baptized and that was awesome. this Friday an 8 year old girl got baptized
so it doesn’t technically count for us as a baptism but we got to help her a
lot. we activated her mom and her dad isn’t a member. she is awesome. her
brother is the one with autism so we got to know that family really well. the
junk part was that we couldn’t be in the baptism cause we were in the sacrament
hall with Lalo, her brother. but it was okay because that way her dad could be
in the baptism. I’m doing good. i have changes tomorrow so i will be finishing
in another area. its kinda cool because if the rumors are true i am gonna go
and finish the training of a new missionary. apparently when president was
having the changes meetings with the assistants they were talking about that
area. the ex-assistant went there and started training a missionary but he
finishes tomorrow. so president and the assistants were talking and they want
to send a leader who can finish the training of the missionary and help the
ward out cause the ward has been having some problems and apparently they chose
me. haha not many other options i guess hahaha. but we will see. i am excited
to finish as a normal missionary without an assignment. just focus totally on
my area and the work and my companion. we will see what happens and how
everything goes.
D: I am
so proud of you. It’s exciting that you
got two baptisms this past week.
Sounds like the last two areas, in your new area you are not only helping the new missionary but also re-energize the ward.

EP: ya i am definitely
excited for the last 6 weeks. get things going and just go to work till the
end.
D: Yes work until the
end. That has been a message we have all
received in different ways.
A former Bishop knew he was being released, but kept quiet and kept serving, not even his wife knew he was being released

EP: well this week was cool cause we
had 6 people in church again and the family of 5 came. it was super cool cause
the dad came and then that night we had another lesson with them in a members
house. the whole family changed totally. we were there for a while and the
whole spirit changed when that family could get to know other people from the
ward and just feel welcome. it wasn’t a super complicated or crazy lesson but
to have the support of members is amazing. the family left that house super
happy and just more together. the parents started walking home holding hands
and the three kids just were jumping and yelling and playing and it was
awesome. Like you said in your letter everything comes down to family and
happiness and it was just really obvious in that moment. the gospel brings us
happiness in our families and its amazing. thank you guys
for everything love you guys so much. I’m gonna go soon but i will talk to you
guys in a week. love you guys. have a great week.
Love,
