Week 37, Dona Ana and Las Colinas Wards, Las Cruces, NM

 This week was good and actually long for some reason.

Our friend Robbe is doing really well! He has a desire to be baptized so we are excited to work with him. He didn't come to church yesterday, though, which was a bummer. But he will next Sunday

We met with a lady named Mary who has an online boyfriend of 4 years. She said that he was from Australia and was in Dubai at some point and has been delayed coming to the states cause he was in a coma from a car accident. It obviously seems very far fetched and the funny thing is that an elder said he's heard the same exact story from someone else who's been scammed before. Hopefully she can realize the truth, it's funny and also sad

We met the CUTEST old lady ever! Her name is Florida and she is so little and so fashionable and she has been going to church for a while and people didn't know she wasn't a member. But her jaw just dropped when we mentioned that the native Americans were decent of the Book of Mormon people. She also kept taking about politics and she asked what we believed. We can't say anything, so she just kept taking.  It was very funny. I don't know how to describe her exactly, but I want to be just like her when I'm old😆

We had a scare and it was 8:30 at night and we were on a dirt road, and I thought I hit a dog. I didn't though which is good. 

We went over to a member's house and the whole time she was giving us marriage advice hahah. It was very useful--I just don't need to focus on it right now. 

We taught a recent member lesson to the Msonda family and actually taught a lot without a translator! That was cool!! They are learning English pretty well which is cool

Our friend Larry called us up this week and he was like, "when are you guys coming over?" Haha he's very sweet and definitely enjoys having us over. Although he talks a lot, we finally finished the restoration with him!! Woo that's a victory! We all said we would love to see him at church and he was like, okay I'll go hahah. 

Our bestie, Sister Hallem returned from Missouri and she asked if she could feed us this weekend and we said  how about the weekend after. She let us know later that she switched with the person so she could feed us this weekend. We were like, wow, she really wants to feed us haha She kept asking if we could change the time too. It was kind of strange

So we walked into her house and I saw a lady filming us and I was like you look familiar, but I couldn't place my finger on it, then out walks my trainer Sister Bishop!!! I was so surprised it was so awesome!!! It was so awesome getting to see her and visiting with her. She's absolutely the best and that was her mom I recognized. It was a huge tender mercy from God because it had been a couple of rough days before that.

We then preceded to go to murder park and talk to a few drunk/high people and it was very funny.

Oh yeah, also we had zone conference!

 I read this week is how our personal prayers let us know where we are spiritually. I realized I need to work on talking to Heavenly Father and put more thought and effort in it.

The GPS led us the wrong way at some point and we found lady who was so sweet! We also got a guys number who was on horse back

Love yall!
