Week 54: Las Colinas and Dona Ana Wards, Las Cruces, NM

 Being human is hard!

Hey! This week was really good! Some very high highs, and some lows, but I'm still kicking so that's good.

Yesterday was fun cause we got to sub for the CTR 4 class with the four year olds. They are so cute and I love laughing at all their crazy things they do.

We talked to this inactive guy yesterday. He hasn't been to church for like 20 years. But he said he should be an easy reactivation. What! Never heard that in my life, nice guy though we are excited to work with him!

We had interviews with pressident Monday and he is the best. I love him. Lots of people in the mission are just great examples of who I want to be.

I'm realizing I don't love being in leadership. Being an STL is not my favorite position, but I guess I'm in it to grow. Which is good! God loves to stretch me.

Skaii and Alii are doing well. Their mom  us a bunch of candy which was sweet. They will be gone for 2 weeks so we hope they are good to be baptized when they get back.

Tabitha is still doing amazing as well. She said she might bear her testimony at church the next Sunday 

I caught a toad! Picture below.

Phyllis is this nonmember that we did service for a lot this week. She isn't interested in the church but she needs a lot of help, so we raked and pulled weeds and such. She a funny lady. She also has killer chows. The dogs. They got out once and she was like, "don't move!" So we just stood there fearing for our life as the dogs ran around and sniffed us. We made it out haha. It was funny cause her little grandson is terrified of those dogs, and she wanted him to be😆

Wednesday, I woke up and I was like, it's going to be a day of miracles!!! There wasn't anything too extraordinary, but wow, our attitudes have a huge effect on our days! It was an amazing day because I was thinking positively. Met some nice people.  We met with this guy, Randy. We gave him our card a while back and he wasn't interested. But then he told us he wanted to meet! So we did and he is promising. 

We played soccer again! We did a ton of service one morning and fell asleep during personal study twice. 

We sat with this one old lady for two hours while we studied. She has dementia and is so cute! I said that I liked Dr pepper and she said she does too, and she was like, twins!!

Friday was a bad day, and that's where the subject line comes from. It's hard being human and just messing up a lot. We just do--no matter how hard we, or I for that matter, want to be perfect. I'm so glad we have Jesus Christ. He makes everything okay and good.

Love yall! I had a 3 hour nap today haha and we played charades, 

Have a great week!

Love Sis Crofts
