Alexa Jean Crofts: Week 14, Dona Ana Ward, Las Cruces, NM

Miracles, Methodists, and a Musical nNmber!

Hey y'all! This week was good!

Transfer news came out and...... I'm staying with my same comp. It's gonna be good and that's what I wanted to happen. However, our zone is kind of getting wrecked. Meaning split up.

We had a really good lesson with Christian this week. We found his number from his dog that ran away and we invited him to church and he wanted to go! Monday, we invited this lady from the ward to come with us to meet with him. She had kept popping in my mind. Turned out she has been wanting to go out with the Missionaries so it worked out great! Chris talks A LOT, but it was good and he is really interested.

We also found a new person from our paper area book and she wants to make us dessert when we come over tomorrow 🥰

Tuesday, we helped out at a Methodist church and we stayed there a while. When we were gonna leave they made us stay for a white elephant ornament exchange. I got a creepy ornament, I will send a picture.

We had zone conference this week and it was really good! I got called up to role play inviting someone to sacrament and explaining sacrament. I was really nervous at first, but then I felt the spirit and it was good. I don't think I learned a ton, it was more just remembering things I know. But something cool that was said is we are immortal beings living a mortal life. We are all infinite and precious, this is just a temporary moment.

I also learned that I need to work to feel the spirit. I have been reading the Saints book and everyone who receives a witness has to go through a trial of their faith. I need to have a trail of my faith and show I really want it. That goes for all of us.

Our 84 year old neighbor Wesley dressed up for our chapel tour and it was super cute.

A miracle this week was we were walking away from someone's door and this lady came out of no where down the stairs and was crying. She asked us to pray for her. Her grandpa just passed and I gave her a hug and we prayed with her. She said she'd love to meet with us again. It was a cool experience that showed that God can just put people in our path--He can do anything.

We brought cookies to people this week and we had a good lesson with Noe! He is someone who was on date before and now he wants to get baptized again! The problem with most people though is they have a problem with commitment haha. I have learned that commitment is a wonderful quality.

My comp and I sang Silent Night during church and it went well!

The best part of the week was Monday. I really have a testimony of priesthood blessings. It's a wonderful how God knows us all individually. He is always there for each of us and I know that He knows YOU!!

I appreciate all your prayers and let me know if any of you need any. I'd love to pray for you.

Love Sister Crofts
