Lights Every land Today....

Hello All!

Greetings from the far away land of Sudbury.  It is starting to get colder here.  The short sleeve shirts are not so much of a blessing right now.  It has been a good week, with a lot of finding.  And through the goodness of our Lord, we were able to pick up 5 new investigators.  We were able to pick up Tom and Rebecca, an old Italian Couple.  They are very nice and they love to talk to the missionaries.  They actually took us to dinner Saturday Night at the Italian Country Club.  It was quite nice, and we were able to talk to them about the Gospel.  BONUS!  We also have been continuing to work with our other investigators, but none of them are really progressing, mainly due to the fact that we can never get a hold of any of them.  But anyway, the work is going well and I am learning lots. 

We got our transfer calls on Monday.  I am staying in Sudbury for another transfer.  Another 6 weeks of Sudbury.  It will be wonderful.  My New companion's name is Elder Smart, but that is all I know about him.  He has yet to arrive in Sudbury.  I am with Elder Farland, Elder Seamons, and Elder Bahorovitch for the time being.  They kind of whitewashed the North this transfer.  Of the Six Missionaries in Sudbury, I am the Only One staying.  The Zone Leaders are both leaving, and the Sisters Area is closing.  So it will only be four missionaries.  One would think that If I was losing a whole district, I would be the one that was leaving.  It was been great though.  We will see what happens.  I still don't know the details.  So here I am.  But life is good. 

And now for some complete randomness.... I finally got a coat.  Elder Opfar had one that he didn't want any more, so he gave it to me.  He didn't want to pack it around in his luggage.  It's a nice coat, too....The tree sounds like fun.  I wish I could have been there to help.  Maybe use my massive leg muscles that I get from a walking area.....It's good to hear about Nathan.  And it is good to hear that He is striving to keep my challenge.  He is a good kid.  Tell him Hi and Congratulations.... Braden - Arrow of Light!  Way to go!  Have a great Birthday this week!....Shan - Thanks for getting the Music.  You are an Aunt - how exciting!  Am I going to be an Uncle soon?....BYU FOOTBALL  - Top Ten Ranking!  Amen!....But anyway.... I love you and Miss You ALL!!!!  Have a Wonderful Day! 

Your Obedient Servant,

Elder Austin James Ashcraft
