Alexa Jean Crofts: Week 18: Dona Ana Ward, Las Cruces, NM

4 month mark!!!

This week was really good!

We got in contact with Ramon and had a lesson! We are just working on the small things right now like helping him pray and read his scriptures everyday and come to church. Sometimes the big things are too overwhelming and one step at a time is all we need to do.

We called him yesterday and he said something super nice. He said how he admired how I got up and bore my testimony during fast and testimony meeting. He said he doesn't know how I do it. I told him well I didn't like doing it at first, but I took a public speaking class and had time to practice. I told him he will get there in time.

Sometimes it's weird to see how far we have come. But then one day we look back and so many things have changed. Jesus Christ helps change us unexpectedly.

We listened to this really good talk this week by Loren Dalton. I've realized it won't let other people view it, but it talks about revelation. Would highly recommend. I've realized so many of my thoughts are revelation. It's so cool to follow it!

We've been able to fine this cool lady Loretta, and this guy Rudy and Christian. It's been awesome. We've also had a really cool lesson with a member and we were able to answer her prayers.

Still finding lots of people through Facebook, but I am getting a little burnt out of it. I'm hoping we can do more street contacting this week.

We had some really awesome lessons about the restoration this week with some friends and less actives. It definitely brings the spirit in and testifies of the truthfulness of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

I know that Joseph Smith is a prophet and he restored Christ's church to these days. Read the restoration story in Joseph Smith history. It's so powerful. I know that nothing bad comes from this gospel and that it is all inspired of God.

Also, this week we got to pie-in-the-face a district that lost a challenge it was super awesome.

There was more this week, our toilet also overflowed haha. But overall the week was good and I really felt the spirit, and I know you can too! God wants you too, I would like to ask you: "what can you change in your life to allow you to feel the spirit more?"

I know for me I can be more positive haha

I love you all and most importantly God loves you all. Never doubt that. I hope you all can know that deep in your soul.

Love y'all!
