Week 44: Dona Ana and Las Colinas Wards, Las Cruces, NM

We did some service this week at one member's house. We shoveled rock and put it in wheelbarrows then dumped it. In the heat of NM!! I was so exhausted and was sweating a lot. Also  my noodle arms were not ready for that.

We visited our friend John in the hospital, and it was funny cause turns out our friend Laura was also in the same one with her new baby! We saw her husband Evan and it was a funny not so coincidence.

We oymed a lot. Which means we opened our mouths and walked around talking to everyone. Met some cool people, and taught our friend Jason who is a Mason brother. Still not super clear about what they do exactly.

We made a music video this week and on Thursday while we were recording the audio with the SMLs, the social media leaders, me and another sister got calls from our sister training leader trainers. They called us to be trainers next transfer!!! I'm super excited because I have been wanting to train my entire time here. Haha. I am staying in the area though. My new companion is Sister Harper.

We went on exchanged Friday and I went to the Spanish area. We played volleyball with the ward that evening which was fun.

Saturday, we recorded our music video with our district. Apparently the video footage is super shaky, so hopefully they can salvage some. It was super hot and a lot of bugs, so it was fun trying not to move while bugs are crawling on you. Hahah

We've just been saying goodbye to a lot of members and getting pictures with them. It's been fun. We will be doing that tonight as well, and then tomorrow I'm going with another Sister for a day.

Anyways...........spiritual thought ish:

My whole mission so far I have wanted to move areas, train, and have more baptisms then I've had, but nothing that I have wanted has worked out. It's good training for life because often my wants are not what the lord needs for me. I've realized I have needed this time to grow and be more humble and now I'm training. It's really awesome how God knows Me! Alexa Crofts and He knows you ________! Never forget it!

I will miss sister Greenfield but I am very excited to train.

Love yall!
