Hello All!
Greetings from Canada! Life here in Sudbury is great! I am learning a lot as I teach people the gospel. We had a goal this week to focus on finding people to teach. We spent Thursday and Friday working a part of our area that we don't get to very often. We started at 10:00 and pretty much walked all day until we got in at 9:00. It was a couple long days of walking, and I can't really feel my legs anymore, but we were able to talk to people and get a few contacts. That makes it all worth it. All the aches and pains and trials that we go through are all worth it. The gospel being preached is worth any price.

Jean Guy called us on Thursday night and told us that he had smoked. We decided to push the baptism back a week. It was good that he was honest with us, though. It is good that he cares enough to have it done right. We taught him the stop smoking workshop on Saturday. He came to church and said he was doing good, but then he went camping Sunday night and we haven't heard from him since. Hopefully everything is all right.
Storytime - we were walking last night and Elder Opfar said, "Since we are in the neighborhood, should we go see Christa and Harley? (A member in the ward and her son)” I agreed and we went to visit them. We visited for a few minutes and then shared a spiritual thought. Christa asked her son to say the closing prayer but he did not want to. She told us that we could say it if we wanted to, instead. I almost spoke up, but I was prompted not to. We eventually found out that Harley had been doubting the existence of God. We taught and testified, and committed him to ask God if he is there. The spirit was so strong in that room. It is incredible how the spirit works.
I am running out of time on the computer, but the work is going well.
And now for complete randomness....Mom - good luck with all the kids. It sounds like a fun time. And with Taylor and Bryson at work all the time I bet it was a handful (okay, maybe two).....Tell Wendy and Dan congratulations (out of complete curiosity, when does Maria get back from Nauvoo?).....And to answer your question about Canadian food - it is pretty much the same as America. A few things I really miss (Real Beef, salsa, you know, things like that....), but there have been no really weird foods. I will let you know though.....Dad- good luck with ALPS and with the logo. Let me know how it turns out..... Anyway... Gotta Run.... I love you and Miss you All!
Your Obedient Servant,
Elder Austin James Ashcraft
