Hola Familia,
There's an old Spanish song sung by members from the 70's it's from an
album called Musica de los Setenta's and it's basically church music and other
Spanish music by church members. One song is known as the Escondido song because
it sounds like they are singing Escondio in it. But they aren't haha But si pues
I'm in Escondido! The El Norte Ward is Massive! It contains all the members in
the Escondido stake which includes Escondido and San Marcos. Over 600 members!
We bike a lot here. I bought a speedometer for my bike to measure the distance
and speed we bike. It's way more flat though so it's alright. haha It's so cool
to contact 95% Spanish. No white people! There are 5 companionships in the Ward.
The sister split San Marcos and us 6 Elders split up the majority of Esco.
Needless to say there's tons of work to do! Be it Less actives, Part member
families or just the classic street contacting we meet a ton of new people every
day! It's not uncommon to have a ton of success here in Esco. Remember Elder
Wockenfuss? Well he's in Temecula now and I'm in his area when we began our
missions! We just switched places! I hope I'll get to serve with him sometime.
In our district also is Elder Garcia (From Utah but also from Guadalajara) and
Elder Banana! (Came in with me, is from New York but also from the Philippines!)
Elder Banana speaks English, Tagalog, and now Spanish! No one can hide from him!
Our bishops name is Obispo, Adrian Parra (Obispo is bishop in Spanish) We get
fed a lot too! Thank you for the letter's everyone! It's great to here from you
all! I hope you all have a great week and I'll tell you more about our area next
week when I learn it better! Que tengan una Buena semana!
Elder Emerick
