Week 41: Dona Ana and Las Colinas Wards, Las Cruces, NM

We worked at the soup kitchen this week! It was fun! 

Funny story, a while ago we talked to this guy Dave Hammersly and his friends while they were sitting on a bench and they all seemed drunk/high. Gave them Book of Mormons and got their numbers. We forgot about them for a couple of weeks. Then the Elders find him, pass him off to us, and we met with him this week and taught him! Turns out he's not homeless and he has a wife. A very interesting fellow, but he's already read all the way to 3rd Nephi and he believes it haha. 

Then I had exchanges Wednesday, I went to the Spanish area for a day and communicated with this deaf couple by writing on sticky notes. 

We also met some cool people, and some lady who asked us a question and every time we responded, she would say "wrong" haha it was kinda funny, but also very annoying. 

We found some new people, hopefully they are interested in continuing to meet!

Since we drive around, there are lots of awkward moments where we pull over and ask if they want to learn more. I've been learning to never put aside a generous thought. Talk to that random guy walking his dog, throwing out a chair in the trash, why not? Could be the spirit telling you. I'm not perfect at it at all, but it's a work in progress. 

We talked to this guy yesterday while he was throwing out trash and he was very flirty but, hey, maybe he's interested in hopefully just the gospel ๐Ÿ˜ถ๐Ÿ˜…

We had basically a full day zone conference Friday with the whole South of the mission. I got to see my MTC companion sister Baxter!We basically just said goodbye to pres. I got to hug him which was nice

So, our friend Larry again. We went to another wards baptism with him cause he wanted to go. He liked it, but he is still paranoid about people wanting to kill him. We also called him yesterday morning to remind him about church, and he got worked up and hung up on us. Hopefully he comes around.

We had our friend Liana come to church Sunday! We are not sure how she felt about it because she forgot to take her ADHD medication and was very distracted by all the loud noises and such from the children๐Ÿ˜… haha, but I'll think she'll come again next week.

It was a good week. I find that I'm not necessarily physically tired, but definitely mentally tired a lot.

Love yall!! I know that the church of Jesus Christ is God church on the earth. And because it is, it provides us the only way to have true and lasting happiness in this life. I firmly believe that.

Love Sister Crofts ❤๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’ž
