Hey!
So I’m really growing
to love the people of Alamogordo. Missionaries here are really spoiled
honestly... We just dropped off our laundry at this really old guy’s house and
he does it and folds it for us!!! He's never been married and he’s super rich!
He also composes music. The tabernacle choir uses his music all the time and he’s
been featured as an organist with them. His music gets used in cathedrals worldwide.
His name is brother Ashdown he’s a cool guy! So there are really nice people
and really crazy people here as well. Like old preachers that
cry/scream/whisper all in the same sentence. Haha he’s a cool guy though he
just REALLY gets into the gospel.... So the members here are awesome but we get
NO referrals from them. That makes it so much harder on us! So get referrals to
the missionaries and go on splits with them!!! We really need it lol. Last week
we did a bunch of tracting....like a lot! But it was pretty successful and my
comp and I also led the whole mission in lessons taught! It was pretty cool!
There are lots of less actives here that we’re really trying to get going back
to church. It’s interesting to see peoples different thoughts and opinions
about the church and other people in the church and how the people we teach fail
to realize that going to church isn’t about whether you like the people there
or not. It’s about you coming closer to Christ and most importantly to take the
sacrament. Some people are too stubborn though!! Haha but we love them anyways
they’re all awesome people. My companion is a pretty funny dude and we get
along really well. We have lots of fun even during tracting. So we have a girl
that wants to be baptized but her dad will not let her! It’s really so sad
cause she loves the church a lot but her dad doesn't even want her coming. But
we’re working on her dad! I want to thank everyone that’s been sending me
letters and what not. I really appreciate it a lot! They’re all really uplifting
and I love you guys! Thanks for all the love and support! Oh and thanks mom and
grandma for the Easter stuff! And I
forgot to thank the Lopez family for the cupcakes in the MTC. They were soooo
good! Hope everyone has a great week!!
Love,
Elder Jaden Espinoza
