Week 64: Socorro Ward, El Paso, Texas

 It was my last week with Sister Long, she is pretty awesome. She left yesterday to go home and even though we were only together for a week and half it was a party! I learned a lot from her, love you Sis Long🥰

This week we did a lot of phone call lessons, some with people in intermediate housing. They were fire! One guy who was bashy in the past called and was interested!! I love feeling the spirit as I teach!!! 


We went on exchanges Thursday, which went pretty well. Talked to a lot of peeps.


Friday, we had the stake Christmas party and we invited all our friends. Our friend Jackie came and she is just hilarious. She's not really interested in the church,but she likes the events. One of our ward members performed as Elvis with background dancers it was pretty great. We got a pic with him. 


Sunday was great!! We had some friends come to church. The best part was this lady Jackie. Apparently last Sunday she went up and sang a song for fast and testimony meeting. So this Sunday I was sitting by her and she had some song lyrics in her hands, hmm. 


She asked me to go up with her. And she sang two songs at the pulpit, one song I don't know and silent night and on the last verse she said for us all to sing along. 

It was really funny at first but the spirit was actually pretty strong. And after that so many people got up to bear their testimony. The spirit was actually very strong, but it was hilarious at the same time.


I tried menudo, which Is absolutely gross, it tastes like poop soup.


Yesterday, we had zone conference which was amazing!! Elder Anthony Perkins came and he was so cool! The spirit was so strong. We were doing teaching roleplays and he was calling companionships up to teach in front of everybody, and he called up me and sister Baxter. We taught in front of the whole South of the mission. It was nerve-wracking, but I think we did good! 


So onto a new week!


Something I've realized is that whenever I have a spiritual high, Satan tries to beat me down right after and it's really fast. I'm learning to recognize it and try and get him out of my thoughts.

I love Christ! I love his spirit and I love El Paso!


Love, Sister Crofts
