Isha. Wow.

Hello Everyone!

so real quickly I want to tell you about one of the investigators that we found this week. Her name is Isha. She is formerly from Gambia, has two kids and comes from a Muslim background.

She has wanted to be a Christian for a long time. When she was younger, she would go to a christian church, and when she came home, her father would beat her. So the next day, she would go back again. She has come to England about 7 years ago and has two children, ages 7 and 4. Hilarious. She was about to go back to Gambia and was having trouble with her visa work and stuff, and then that night, she had a dream where Christ appeared to her and told her that she needed to stay to learn about him. Now she has English citizenship so we can teach her! She is absolutely incredible. She says that she is going to be the Best Christian and she recognises the Spirit so well! I love being a missionary!

She came to church yesterday and loved it! The Gospel is amazing!

Thank you all for everything that you do! I love you love you love you!

Love,

Elder Ashcraft!

Frenchie?

Hello everyone! It has been an incredible week!

The Lord has really blessed us, including last night, where we met a woman from Gambia who is a muslim. She is a permanent resident in the UK so we can teach her. But she told us that she has  had dreams Where Christ has told her that she needs to stay here in england to learn about Him. She was going to go back to Gambia, but from this dream decided to stay, and then we met her. And what do we do? teach People about the Saviour! Isn't it incredible how the Lord works? I love it so much.

Well, Elder Aulenbach is great. Very Canadian, but great. He is fluent in french, which is nice because we meet a lot of people that speak french. Hopefully I'll be able to pick a little bit up as well. Pretty language, that french.

Well, it has been very rainy the past couple of days, which I love the rain. I wish Utah got more of it. Maybe I'll bring some home with me. Good plan. Maybe I'll brings some Scousers home as well. The people of Liverpool are a lot different from the rest of England. You'll have to come visit and then you'll understand why I love them so much. Incredible, once you are able to understand them.

I love you all so much, and I am so grateful for all that you have done for me. Please keep me and the people of England in your prayers. I love you sososososososo much! Keep the Faith!

Love,

Elder Ashcraft

Hey everyone!

 

Well, I am definitely staying in Liverpool! Huzzah! But Elder Peterson is leaving, so there's goes my hope of Chinese fluence (is that a word? Possibly). I will miss him. But in his stead comes......Elder Aulenbach, from Alberta, Canada! He is fresh from the England MTC, so he is full of energy and excitement. I haven't had a ton of time with him yet, but I'm very excited to get to know him and to learn from him.

 

I love Liverpool so much. It is an amazing place. Our investigators are great. This week, we were blessed to be able to find a woman named Giselle, from France. Her parents are Congolese and she has been here for about a month. She had been looking for a church, and we stopped her in the street and she invited us to come back and visit. She is great. She understands everything and likes it. The best part is, she came to church on Sunday and loved it! She brought her two year old son, Jordan, and he liked it as well. The Lord has really blessed us here.

 

Things are going great. Missionary work is amazing because you can physically see the extra strength that the Lord gives you. At the end of the day, you look back at all that you were able to do and say, "How in the world did I do that?" The answer is, the Lord was doing it through you. I love this work so much and I am so grateful for the chance I have to share the everlasting gospel with the people here. Please continue to pray for me and the people of England. I love you all so much and I am grateful for the examples that you are to me and for the love and support that you show me. I am grateful for your friendship and your kindness. Keep up the good work, and Keep the Faith!

 

Love,

Elder Ashcraft
