The Beatles lived here.

Dear Everyone that I love,

Hey! How are you?! Grand, I hope. I am doing extremely well! Liverpool is amazing and so is missionary work! I know that I have been called here by the Lord to speak to these good people. 

Well, it's an interesting week this week because President and Sister Bullock leave this week. I'm sad to see them go. They really have changed my life and had such an amazing impact on me. They are some of the most incredible people I have ever met. I am so grateful for their great example and the things that they have taught me. 

Last week we had our last Zone Conference with them, and It was incredible, but sad to know that they are leaving. At the end of the conference, we were able to each give the both a hug. It was so spiritual and so amazing. Hugging President Bullock was like hugging a brother and a father and hugging Sister Bullock was like hugging Pure virtue, like hugging my mom. It was a very special experience and one that I will cherish forever. I love them so much!

I am excited to meet President and Sister Preston and to continue my service under their stewardship. I'm sure that it will be amazing as well.

I love you all so much, and I am so grateful for your righteous influences in my life. I would not be who I am without all of you. I love you and I love the Lord! Keep the Faith!

Love,

Elder Ashcraft

Scousers. Wow.

Hello ever'body!

 

It has been a great week here. Liverpool is just ridiculously amazing, and the Lord is blessing us extremely. I love it.

 

We were able to get three of our investigators to church yesterday, and the ward just ate them up. The ward did everything, and made them feel right at home. It was great.

 

One of them said something interesting. We were talking about life, and he said something I thought was interesting. He said, "Mistakes are vital." I thought about that for a bit. It's true, in a sense. Without the mistakes that we make, we wouldn't really learn or progress. If we never made any mistakes, than we wouldn't be able to become perfect, Like our Heavenly Father. Mind you, we shouldn't try to make mistakes, but the Atonement is there to help us overcome them. I know that that's true.

 

I love you all so much and I am so grateful for everything! Keep up the good work and Keep the Faith!

 

Love,

Elder Ashcraft

Ni hau!

Hello everyone! It has been a crazy week here in Liverpool, but the Lord blessed us abundantly.

We were able to find a lot of great new investigators this week, most of whom are Chinese (amaaaaazing). I love the people so much! They are so humble and willing to learn, I love it!

I'm finally getting the chance to do a musical number in Sacrament meeting next with the the other missionaries in the Ward. There's six of us, four Elders and Two Sisters. Our pianist is the ward organist, who is an Opera singer and just an overall huge man. Not fat, but huge. Brother Lewis Quinn. He reminds me a lot of the Beast. I love
it. He's great and extremely talented.

Well, I'm running out of time, but I want all of you to know that this is the only true church on earth, and Jesus Christ Himself stands at the head. I know it's true, and I love it!

I love you all!

Love,
Elder Ashcraft

Pooled Liver

Hello everyone!

 

Well, Liverpool is amazing! And can I just say, if any of you know a Chinese person, go and give them a hug as soon as possible. They are the most incredible people on earth! I love teaching them about the gospel, and also eating their food. It's fantastic.

 

Oh yeah. Someone stole my name badge my first night here. I loved that name badge. But hopefully it'll turn up somewhere. I love Liverpool. But really though, I do.

 

The Ward here is amazing! The Ward Mission Leader is from California, and talks faster than any human being I have ever met. He's great. And the ward organist reminds me a lot of the Beast from Beauty and the Beast. I love England so much!

 

Well, keep up the good work, and Keep the Faith! I love you all so much! The Church is true!

 

Love,

Just around the riverbend...

Hello, and good day from the land of the Scousers!

 

I have been transferred from Birkenhead to Liverpool, which is just on the otherside of the river Mersey! I'm sad to leave Moreton, I made some wonderful friends there and fell in love with the people, but I've excited to move on and help the people of LIverpool. It's amazing. I couldn't have wished for a better place to get transferred to.

 

I'm doing really well and working hard and loving the work. My new address is:

 

Flat 7, 15 Newsham Drive

Tuebrook,

Liverpool L6 7UG

England

 

At least I'm pretty sure that's it.

 

But I'm really excited. My companion is Elder Zachary Peterson, from Alpine Ut! He is one of the chinese speaking missionaries in the mission, so we will be teaching a lot of chinese people! They don't have much background in Christianity, so it's going to be an adventure! I love it!

 

Well, I love you all and I am so grateful for everything! Keep the Faith!

 

Love,

Elder Ashcraft
