Dear Family,
How was your Thanksgiving? We went over to the Escobars for dinner. They are a great family in our Ward. La Hermana nos cuida mucho. Their son is actually enterring the MTC on the 8th of Dec. So, Amy, look for an Elder Escobar and get a picture with him for me. He is going to Fresno, CA.
Thank you David for your letter to us. It was great to hear from you too Amy. Sounds like your having a great time. Keep up the great work. Mother I got your letter a few days ago. I don't know why but they seem to be taking a long time in the mail. On Saturday, the 27, I received a letter you wrote on the 15. So if it ever seems like I take a long time to address things you write in your letters, that is why. By the way, you asked about me writing President. Yes that is very normal of missionaries. It is actually required. I think a lot of missionaries write him snail mail but we have the privilege of being able to email him. Each P-day I have an hour on the computer in total. So I read his email and write him and then I read family emails and write ya'll. So sometimes I take a lot of time reading his email and writing back to him and so I am left with little time to read your emails and write you a long email. The purpose for writing him is to let him know how the progress of the are and companionship are and to let him know how I am doing. I assume David did the same thing. And I'm pretty sure I told you about Mya's baptism in the letter I wrote you two weeks ago. But if you still have any questions let me know.
It was great to hear everything is going well with you all. The Madrigal Dinner should be coming up soon. Will it be the weekend of the 3 and 4? It sounds like everything else is going well.
This week has been very good. We have been blessed enough to find three new families that we are starting to teach. Hopefully more are on the way. We are working hard trying to do everything we can to do the work the way God would have us do it. One really neat family is Julio and Fabiana German. Like their name suggests they are of German decent. They are from Uraguay, down between Brasil and Argentina. They are both very nice and have great faith. The first time I talked to Julio was actually probably a month and a half or two ago. I talked to him on the street when I was out with Ervin Mena, an awesome young man in our Ward. But Saturday night was the first time that we were able to go in and share something with them. I really hope the best for them. It was really neat too because they weren't even in our plans for Saturday but God did some rearranging of our schedule for us and put us at their house only a few minutes after they had gotten home from shopping. They are really great. And they have two teenage sons. I will keep you posted on their pogress.
I need to get off now to stay under time. I love you all a lot. I hope you are all doing well and staying active in every aspect of the Gospel. It really is a great blessing that we have. Like Amy said, it is easy for us to take advantage of the things that we have grown up with. But they truly are great blessings. I am so very grateful to have grown up in a home where my wonderful Mother taught me these simple Gospel truths. We have been so blessed! You are all great. Se me cuiden.
Con amor,
Elder Kevin Reece
