You, 'kay?

Dear Everyone that I love,

 

Hiya, love! It has been a great week here in Chester. Spectacular. I have been on exchange for a lot of the week, but it's been wonderful.

 

Our investigator Michael has accepted a baptismal date for the 24th of March! He is so amazing to teach! He has such a special spirit about him and he loves everything that we teach! He came to church again and loved it. He has had a bit of a rough past but has overcome many problems and trials to get to where he is today. Amazing!

 

We also had a lesson with our investigator Anne, and her daughter and daughter's boyfriend wanted to listen to what we had to say. Anne had been talking to her friend (who is less active) about the Word of Wisdom, and Anne had some questions. But her questions were motivated, as she said, by her desire to "explain to people why I am doing this." Absolutely amazing. She understood it all and accepted to live it. The kids as well said that it made sense to live that way. It was a really great lesson.

 

We also found yet another Fijian couple. Unfortunately he just left to Afghanistan yesterday, but he told us that we could still go teach his wife, so hopefully step by step we will be able to bring this family in.

 

Being a missionary is the best thing ever! I know that the work we are engaged in is not our own, but the Lords. He watches over us and helps us to be where we need to be when we need to be there. I love it so much. I know that Jesus Christ lives and that He loves us all with a perfect love. 

 

I love you all as well! The Gospel is true! Live it and you'll see! Keep the Faith!

 

Love,

Elder Ashcraft
