Help Me Teach With Inspiration....


Hello All!

How is everybody as the Summer winds down?  Not to bring up a painful subject or anything, but I hope that everybody is ready for school and everything that comes with it.  The Summer here in Barrie seems to be just picking up.  It is hot. And it is humid.  And I am wearing along sleeved shirt.  Don't ask me why.  Let's just say thank goodness for Air conditioning.  Yeah.

Things are going well.  We had a bit of a slow week teaching wise.  We had three district meetings to go to, and we had a companion exchange with the Newmarket Elders.  So we spent a fair bit of time with the administrative things, and that took a chunk of time from our proselyting (bummer).  But with the time we had, we made it effective and did what we could.  We were able to find some really good  potentials, and we hope to meet with them later this week.  One of them is a less active member that we contacted on the street who has a nine year-old daughter who (as we were talking to the mom) was jumping up and down yelling "I want to be a Mormon!"   That's awesome that a little girl recognizes the truth and wants to be a part of it. She doesn't care who knows it either.  She is not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ.  And neither should we.  This is the truth, and we all know that.  As Joseph Smith stated (tense revised for myself, and each of us for that matter), "I know it.  I know that God knows it.  And I Cannot Deny it."  I love this gospel and this work.  Live it.  Love it.  Share it.  I love you!

Your Obedient Servant,
Elder Austin James Ashcraft
