Live, from Liverpool

Dear Everyone that I love,

 

This has been a crazy week! We caught the ferry on wednesday to come to zone conference, and the seas were rough! You would think it was 9th grade Guys and Dolls at Evergreen how much people were rocking the boat! (hahahahahaha that was way funny, at least for me. But really though.

 

Zone conf. was moneysauce. So great. President Bullock is pretty much an Apostle. He talked about the Dead Sea Scrolls, which pretty much (really though) prove that the Book of Mormon is true. There is so much evidence and it is statiscally impossible that it is coincidence. But even with that proof, you need a spiritual witness to know that the Book of Mormon is true. Laman and Lemuel saw angels, but they still fell away. Proof could never take the place of the Testimony of the Spirit.

 

But we worked in Liverpool and Crosby and St. Helens this week, so pretty much it's been like a week long exchange. oh yeah, there was this one man I spoke with, and he said, "I'll listen to you if you can catch me." he was on a run, and so I totally ran with him and stayed with him stride for stride. In a suit. talking the whole time about the gospel. I love it. He didn't listen though. But it's been way fun. We've been staying with the Zone Leaders, Elder Oliver Kersey (originally from England but lives in Utah) and Elder Benton Sturt (went to Cottonwood High). They are awesome and hilarious, and wonderful missionaries. It has been such a good week. But I do miss the Isle. So it will be good to get back.

 

Ah, I love all of you so so sososososo much! without you, I definitely wouldn't be where I am or who I am. You are all a part of me and I will be forever grateful for your love, friendship, and support. I love you all so much!

 

Love,

Elder Ashcraft
