Hello Hello,
So this last week has
definitely been the craziest week of them all. I heard that one of my good
friends, Emily Bleazard, got her call to the same mission as me! That’s so
exciting! It’s a great mission.
So a
couple days ago I was at a less active members house who is pretty much my
grandma out here. I love her haha. She reminds me of all my Tias back home.
Very Mexican and proud of it! But she's the only one who makes us mexican food
here and its really amazing! She has a little Chihuahua named Chucha haha. They
also have a pitbull named Gordo. I was play fighting with little Chucha and my
face was right next to the pitbull and I guess he wasn’t havin it cause he
growled really loud and bit my face!!! I didn’t even know what had happened. I
figured he lunged at my companions hand and my comp moved it outta the way and
he smacked me on accident but no. Sure enough I started bleeding really bad
right at the bottom of my eyebrow and I couldn’t get it to stop! I got really
lucky though. I don’t think the dog actually bit down I think he just lunged at
me with his mouth open and smacked me with his teeth pretty much. So I have two
little holes in my head. One below my eyebrow and one right on my temple. They’re
pretty small little scars but I definitely was being watched over cause that
dog coulda ripped half of my face off!
So last Monday we went up to Las Cruces and
one of my friends that I’ve thrown with in track since 7th grade goes to New
Mexico state which is in Las Cruces. Every time we go there I always talk about
how cool it would be if I saw him there. But school had just gotten out so I
figured he had already went home. We went to the mall to look around and guess
who I saw at the mall! My db Cam Dahl! It was sooo awesome! He said he had only
been to that mall like 2 times in the two years he has lived there and the only
reason he went was cause he was getting his car fixed and had nothing to do. He
was gonna leave back home the next day. What a coincidence haha. It was really
awesome though. We had lunch together with my comp and some other elders. It
was nice to get to catch up with him!
So for another crazy story haha. This
happened a couple weeks ago actually. On Mothers day we were supposed to go
give this lady a blessing. But of course we were worried about skyping our
mothers and totally forgot. Sunday comes around and we got a call to
remind us about it. So we called her and she told us to come after dinner. We
forgot our backpacks at dinner which never happens ever. Our backpacks have our
oil and everything we need basically. So after dinner we go to her house and
realize she’s a single lady and we can’t go in unless if we have another male
with us. So we drove to like 5 different members homes and none of them were
home or couldn’t make it. So we figured we would just give her a blessing in
her back yard or something. So we get back to her house and realize we didn’t
have oil haha so we go back to a members house who happened to be the high
priest quorum leader and got some oil from him and he pretty much made us go to
a different members house and ask him to come with us. We didn’t know the guy
at all and I guess he worked on Sundays and couldn’t come to church so it was a
little akward showing up to his house and asking him to come with us to give
her a blessing. Also he is in the German Air force so he barely spoke any English.
but sure enough he came with us and it was crazy cause it turned out that he
was her home teacher and she had just lost her job and had to move but had no
money or food or anything and he was moving back to Germany so he had all this
food he couldn’t bring with him and he was able to help her out in so many
ways. We didn’t even do any talking there cause he just had all these things
she needed. It made us feel a lot better about forgetting everything haha. We
feel like all that was meant to happen. It’s crazy how the Lord works in his
mysterious ways to help out all his children cause he loves each and every one
of us.
This week we also found 3 new investigators
which was really exciting and we have 2 more who are basically ready for
baptism. We have been really focusing on consecrating ourselves and being
obedient with exactness and we are definitely seeing the blessings from it.
I hope
everyone had a great week and has an even better one this week! thanks for all
the love and support! sorry this letter was so long! lol Love you all!
Love Elder Espinoza
