Hello All!
Greetings from Canada! The weather up here has been a bit interesting lately - from -15 to positive 15, depending on the day. Rain, snow, tidal waves (Just Kidding) - you get the picture. But Anyway....
This week went fairly well. We were able to meet with Kerra and visit with her a few times this week. We had a great lesson with her on Friday. We went over the Plan of Salvation with her. We had Josh go with us and that was great. He told her about how he came to find the church and she was very interested in his story. She kept telling us that she is ready to change. She wants to "Flip the Pancake" of her life, as she put it. She is going through a bit of a hard time right now, though. She went out with some friends on Saturday night and did some things that are not really in accordance with the Word Of Wisdom. She did not come to church on Sunday because of it. She said that she would call us later, and later was yesterday evening. She is supposed to call us later today so that we can meet with her again.
We also are seeing Len Progress as well. We visited with him again yesterday and he told us that his faith is growing every day. he told us that he believes that Joseph Smith was a prophet and that he is excited to be baptized when he feels he is ready for that. The spirit is working on him.
We got three new investigators last week as well. One of them (Bill Reynolds) is from the Barrie Zone Leaders. They taught him in Barrie and he told them that he is moving to Orillia this week, so we will meet with him on Sunday. We also tracted into Mike Morrison. He met us at the door and asked "Are you Jehovah's Witnesses?" We told him that we weren't to which he replied, "Come on in!" We were able to teach him right there and leave him with a copy of the book of Mormon. His life is changing right now (New Job, etc.) and he feels that everything (including our showing up at his door) happens for a reason. We are excited to meet with him later this week.
Our last new investigator (And the one who was at church) basically fell into our lap. A few minutes before sacrament meeting started, Jessica and Allan showed up and walked into the chapel. Jessica has been a member since she was young, and is wanting to get back to activity. She brought Allan, her nonmember boyfriend, with her to church and we taught him there and are meeting with them again tomorrow. We are very excited that the Lord is blessing us so much.
Anyway.... I love you and Miss you all! Have a great Week!
Your Obedient Servant,
Elder Austin James Ashcraft
