Heigh-ho!
Hey ever'body! How are you all?! Good! Me too!
Well, it's been another good week here on the Isle. This is such a beautiful place! I love it so much! I can't believe it's already December 13th!! That's so crazy! Time has flown by like a shaved pig with a jet engine attached to the back, hopped up on energy drinks. Yeah, you're welcome for that image. I thought it was funny. But the work is going well. It's just tough sometimes because people get caught up in the frivolity and commercial side of Christmas that they forget what it is really about. So pray for the people here to soften their hearts and to remember the reason for the Season, the cause for the Claus. haha that was kinda clever. Yay, me!
Anyway, this week, as I studied patience, I really loved a scripture that I came across in Romans 5:3-5. It says: "And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; and patience, experience; and experience, hope: and hope maketh not ashamed..."
We should glory in the trials that God has given us, because it is those trials that help us become who and what the Lord wants us to be. So when the hard times come, just remember that Christ already went through this for you, and He is there to help guide you. Trust in Him, and "bear with patience thine afflictions."
I love you all! Thanks for everything, especially your prayers! I love you!
Love,
Elder Ashcraft
