5.2--Cloud Croft


Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

I am now serving in Cloud Croft, NM!!! :)  My new companion is named Elder Barlow, and things are going excellent! So a little bit about him--he is from Nissa, Oregon. He graduated the same year as me, and he has been out for about 4 1/2 months now! (It was a crazy moment when I realized that I have now been out for six month!!! Where is my mission going?) Anywho we are excited to be together!

A little bit about Cloud Croft, so we basically live in the middle of a National Forest! What? Our area covers about 60 miles of the mountain communities surrounding Alamogordo, NM! We drive a 2013 Jeep Compass, and we live in a log cabin!!  We cover a little branch out here that has between 30-40 members, and we meet each Sunday in a library! The average age in my ward is about 60 years old. Cloud Croft is basically like a mountain retreat for west Texas and Eastern New Mexico and so most of the members in our ward are retirees! But things are beautiful, Elder Barlow and I jokingly say that we've found Heaven! The average temp is a lot cooler than the rest of NM, so in the summer it rarely breaks 85, and in the winter it averages between 30-40 degrees. There is still snow on the ground, and the other day we saw a herd of elk just sitting on the road! Yep, awesome!


Anywho, enough about that. My new address if you want to send a letter to is:
P.O. Box #789               Cloudcroft, NM    88317

You can also send packages to that same address too! :) yeah!

Well anywho, I will try to get some pictures up as soon as I can! Thanks for all of your love and support!

Thanks,
Elder (Mountain Man) Guymon
