Week 56: Las Colinas and Dona Ana Wards, Las Cruces, NM

Hey! 

We had a goal of finding 5 new people this week and we did! Woo!

Also, I was praying one night and I had the thought to visit one apartment complex we never go to. The next day we went there and we met a bunch of cool people. Almost everybody we talked to seemed interested! We met this new lady Camila and helped her put up her Halloween decorations.  She is so sweet and has been going through a lot, she is such a genuine soul! We met with her again yesterday and she is so sincere! She's so sweet.

We also met this one lady named Brenda. We were driving down the street and pulled over and said "hi." We asked her what she believes and she said in God and Jesus. We asked why, and she said cause we were there. She started crying and we got out and talked to her. She talked about a bunch of things going on in her life. She said she didn't like organized religion. We said that just like you know God is real you can ask if our message is true. She was like yes I would love to learn more. She's so sweet!

Oh yeah, I'm staying here another transfer with Sister Harper! Big surprise lol. I think I'll be here my whole mission. Which is fine, there's always a lot of work here to do. I felt a little prideful this Sunday with our bishop. He was telling us a bunch of things we should do, some of which we were already doing. I smiled and was like okay. But really inside I was like, we are trying! Does he not think we we are good Missionaries? 

Then later I read in Preach My Gospel and it said to take his advice. I was like hmm. Maybe instead of getting offended I can just try and be better. Haha, the lord keeps humbling me. I do have a lot of pride and I'm always being reminded of how weak I am and how much I need to rely on the Lord. I need to so bad!!! If I don't life goes blah.

Tabitha is super excited for her baptism and skaii and alii might be baptized this weekend and maybe next, not sure yet. 

I have learned sooo much on my mission and there's so much to learn! Good thing we have this life!

Love yall!!
