Well,
I guess I learned everything I needed to learn in good ol' El Paso
Texas. The Lord needs me somewhere else now. Im soooo sad to leave
all these wonderful people here and all the amazing missionary
opportunities that are waiting to happen here. I told my mission
president that i'm leaving the promised land and he said, "No,
you're gonna take the promised land with you!" That's my plan! I
remember when I first got to El Paso I was pretty disappointed to
leave my greenie area and now i'm not so disappointed but
just really sad cause i've grown so close to all these people here.
If it wasn't for them I think my first Christmas away from
home woulda been a rough one. But the Lord knows what he's
doin otherwise I probably never would have come to El Paso! I've
grown so much in this ward. I went from junior comp and district
monkey( the district leaders companion) to training a new missionary
to district leader to zone leader. So lots and lots of memories
here in El Paso. It's just sad cause everone but a few are
military and won't be here when I come back to visit. Some may end up
in Washington though! which would be amazing! I feel like this is the
most ready I will ever be to leave this area though so its perfect
timing. I am exciting about meeting new people and going to a new
area. It will be strange to not be in a military ward though. I spent
half of my mission in a military ward and going on to military bases!
Im excited to go work with a new zone and try my best to help them
improve as missionaries! This last week was a good one though! We
didn't teach as much mainly cause all of our investigators got
baptized so we spent a lot of time finding! We actually got a knife
pulled on us. It was pretty funny. We had a priest with us and I
though he was gonna wet his pants haha We met some new people that
are super interested in the gospel and will do so wonderful
progressing towards baptism! Sad to leave them but its not the
missionary who converts people its the spirit! Well I don't have to
much time today cause I still have a million people to say bye
to :( More tears to be shed! but I am excited to go :) Love you all!
Love
Elder Espinoza
The Davis family. Gonna miss them dearly!
The Rosenbergs. :) Love that family!!!
The
Kidd family. Only 3 outta 13! Totally plan on visiting them in Kentucky
after the mish! Bro. Kidd got to el paso the same time I did and we had
a race to see who would leave first. I beat him by 6 weeks :) haha +haha.JPG)
