Alexa Jean Crofts: Week 6: Dona Ana Ward, Las Cruces, NM

Hey y'all!

It's been great in the mission!

So this week was a bit slow with lessons because lots of people canceled on us, but that's okay! We got in some good members lessons this week and met some new people which was good.

We had a lot of meetings this week, because it was zone conference. Zone conference was great! I learned a lot and something funny is that for conference everyone has to prepare a 5 minute talk on a Christlike attribute. Anyone can be called up to give a talk at random. Anyways, the whole week I felt like I was going to be asked to give a talk, and I was right! I was the first one that they called up! I spoke on the Christlike attribute of patience and felt that it went well. I learned a lot from zone conference.

One day we left cookies on a lady's porch and this cat came up and started biting the bag! We had to shoo them away.

Also, good thing my companion doesn't get these emails because every Friday we have a zone prayer and we pray for each other's investigators. During the prayer my comp farted and it was super funny haha.

There's this lady in the ward who always comes with us to lessons-she's awesome. She always gives us fruit when we come over and when we were in this sketchy apartment complex she was like, we're in the Get-to. It's was funny haha.

There are lots of New Mexican grandma's here who love to talk and talk, even if they aren't grandma's haha!

We had interviews on Saturday with the mission president and it was so awesome. He is so loving and inspired and it was great!

We had an awesome miracle happen yesterday. We were going to call Sadie, our investigator, but instead I called the wrong Sadie who is a member. Anyways turned out she was feeling really lonely that night and needed a call, we shared a scripture and prayed with her and told her she was loved. I guess God works through our mess ups too!

That's about it for the week. Love y'all!
