Hey yall! This week was good. Actually, pretty good indeed.
Did a lot of street contacting and talked to some interesting conspiracy theorists and found out some things about some of our friends. It's sad sometimes what happens to some families.
A little miracle that happened:
We gave this guy named David our number and we got his number. About 5 minutes later, he texted us! It was super cool. Normally no one texts us when we give them our card. Woo!
It also rained a lot Tuesday when we were driving down the highway! It was awesome and I could barely see. It's nice that I can now appreciate the rain since I'm not living in the rainiest place in the world haha.
Oh yeah, I was feeling kinda sick Wednesday, so I called the mission nurse and we went through this ordeal of going to urgent care, turns out I had an ear infection. I need a better immune system.
Our friend Irene is a queen!! We heart attacked her last week and I wrote the scripture ether 12:27 on one of them. She not only read it, but wrote all the full scripture references on the back. She is super sweet and earnest in her desire to learn more.
Had exchanges and did loads of service--which is always fun in the middle of the day in 100° weather. Haha.
We also have a friend whose 9 and part of part member family and he wants to be baptized, so we are planning on next month and are really excited!
We had a really spiritual experience Friday with this part member family, the Masons. Most of them received priesthood blessings and there is just such a sweet spirit when we witness that. I love blessings- they show the Lord loves and knows us personally. I just think they are such a great gift.
Remember Roy? He's been doing alright, wants us to come by more, but sadly didn't show up to church. He was saying, "I've always thought church should be on a Saturday," as an excuse to not go. I explained that the Lord needs us to give him one day. He was like, yeah you're right, and said he would come. Roy is not Italian, but he seems like an Italian new Yorker to me.
We also talked with a bandito club member. I thought they were violent, apparently not.
Last night we visited with this inactive family that goes to a Baptist rock concert church. They had a bunch of problems with our church service and just weren't saying uplifting things. I'm sure most Christian churches are really awesome and there are great people there. But I know that the church of Jesus Christ has God's POWER! Which is amazing! I know that in our church, it is set up for us to serve, and to always improve. Not just be content with having Jesus in my heart.
I want to be a person that wears away my life to serve God. I want to be like Ammon from the Book of Mormon. Although I am soooo far away from that, I know as I try, I can be like him someday. I know there is joy in serving and loving others constantly, and not the same joy anywhere else.
I love yall. I'm grateful for your prayers.
Love, Sister Crofts
