A good week with a LOT of cancelations. But we had a lot of good member lessons, with a lot of laughs?
We had lessons with the Barentines and they are so funny. We actually have dinner with them tonight.
One of our awesome members is basically a professional cookie decorator and she gave us royal icing and cookies to decorate. We also went over to their house to dinner the day we had Panda Express for lunch..and they had Panda for dinner?
We went to a small town of a little over 300 people in it. It was a strange town like out of a movie.
We met this one family and while we were there the dad had a seizure, and we were just kind of like what the--? We wondered what we could do to help but we just left.
Had a good lesson with this guy, Gabriel,and he was asking questions like, "why don't you drink coffee, do you believe in the trinity?" It turned put really good though and he believes in the Godhead too!
We had exchanges this week and it was awesome!
We also met our new mission president over zoom! He's super nice and I'm so excited to have him and his wife.
We met with our friend Jeanne and she told us she's not interested in meeting with us anymore, but it was a good lesson and I felt so sad that she was saying that. I know that this gospel is the path for everyone. We ended with inviting her to pray and ask what God wants her to do.
We had a really funny lesson with the Msonda family. We taught them the Ten Commandments with the hand signs amd turns out one of the signs meant worshipping the devil, or along those lines. Haha, we told them that it does not mean that to us! We were all laughing
I love the members in our wards. They are awesome. I've also noticed this week that there are a lot of crazy people in New Mexico too haha. Makes things interesting
Jesus Christ's church is truly the only way to lasting happiness. Satan knows that so well. He will do whatever it takes to stop us from knowing and following the truth. Most of the time it's little things that slowly chip away our testimony.
I really love the scripture Jacob 4:10: "Wherefore, brethren, seek not to counsel the Lord, but to take counsel from his hand. For behold, ye yourselves know that he counseleth in wisdom, and in justice, and in great mercy, over all his works."
Often times we rely on ourselves way too much (I'm speaking from experience haha). When it comes to our testimony, if we let our own opinions rule us or the world, we are not seeking counsel from Christ. As we rely on Christ and put our focus on Him, we will be able to see that His wisdom is the best and He is the one who will tell is us what is true and good.
Also, God doesn't want us to walk blindly, he wants us to ask and know! I just really like this scripture, and it has applied this week.
Love yall, happy Independence day! I'm grateful I get to serve in the land of the free and home of the brave!
In God I trust!
Love Sister Crofts
