Hello All!
How are things? I hope that you all are doing well. Things up here have been. We found 3 new investigators last week. One of them is Greg Thompson. He is a friend of a member in Midland, and the missionaries there called us and gave us the name. He is a great man. He knows the Bible fairly well, and his views match up with ours. As we met with him, he would ask us questions about pretty much everything in the church and each response would be greeted with "That's the way I feel as well. It talks about that in the Bible." Or something similar to that. Oh - and by the way - he's blind. So we were able to get him a braille copy of the Book of Mormon. It's HUGE! I carried it in to his house in a box that Brindy and Noelle Both could fit it. It came in 6 massive binders stuffed to capacity. He was very grateful for it. He told us as we were leaving that with all the paper and the stamping, he would give the entire copy a ballpark estimate of costing about $1000.00. He was very grateful and we are excited to help him progress in the gospel.
The work is progressing. As Joseph Smith stated, "No unhallowed hand can stop the Work from progressing." That is very true. As hostile and negative as people may be toward us and toward the Church, it can't change the fact that it is true. I am very grateful for that. Nothing can or ever will alter the truth. I am grateful to be engaged in this tremendous work. Nothing else can compare. I love it. I love you all! Have a great Day! Study, Share, but more importantly, LIVE THE GOSPEL!!!
Your Obedient Servant,
Elder Austin James Ashcraft
