Hey Everyone that I love!
We had a great week here in Swinton. Maggie came to church yesterday, and she loved it again! We haven't been able to see her very much, in fact only twice, but on Saturday we had a lesson with her and she told us that she had been trying to read a page of the Book of Mormon every night before bed! The language it uses is a bit tough for her, so we gave her a copy in her native language, Shona. She is so good! Her faith is already so strong. Amazing!
I hope we didn't scare Paul, though. We had a pretty bold lesson with him on Saturday, and I was pretty...passionate about the things we were telling him. But I think he's okay because he called us this morning and told us that he had read from the Book of Mormon, which he hasn't really ever done before! He has been struggling a lot to keep any commitments recently and hasn't been to church in weeks. So things are looking really good.
Sally wasn't able to come yesterday, but she's doing great. We taught her tithing on Friday and she accepted and agreed with it, and she hasn't been drinking tea! There is just nothing like the feeling when your investigators actually do what the Lord asks them too. I love it!
Elder Sutton is great as always. He's a good man. We have good times together.
Well, the other day, we were in a lesson, and one of the investigators turned to Elder sutton, Pointed at me, and said to him, "how come you don't eat as many burgers as he does?" meaning me. NIce one. I think "In my face" is the correct term for that one. Then she turned to me and said, "you should take a leaf out of Elder Sutton's book. I was laughing pretty hard. It had been a while since anyone had cracked a fat joke like that, so it was almost refreshing. Persecution. Bring it on.
Well, I love you all so much! Thank you for everything you are and everything you do! I love you so much! Have a great week and Keep the Faith!
Love,
Elder Ashcraft
