Hello All!
It's that time again....HAPPY NEW YEAR! I can't believe that 2009 is almost over. it's been a great year. I have learned so much and I have loved serving the Lord and His Children in Orillia, Woodstock, Barrie, and Kitchener.
Christmas was great. We ate breakfast with the Baker Family. Pancakes and Eggs - Yummy! we sang them a song (Which Sister Baker e-mailed to you, mom...) and shared a message about Christ! The reason for the season. After breakfast, we headed to lunch. Yes that's right. We basically drove from one to the other. Michael Drick, one of the members who is in a nursing home with a shattered kneecap had us over for lunch. It was great.
We went Christmas Caroling with some of the Other missionaries and then went to the Holden’s for dinner. Their son, Micah, reminds me of Adam Hebdon (but not Matt, for some reason - crazy) It was good. Beautiful day!
We have had a hard time meeting with our investigators due to the Christmas Season, but we have appointments today with 6 more and we are very excited for them. Last night, we met a man from Thailand named Sao. He was very nice and we taught him the first lesson in his garage. He doesn't speak English very well, so it was interesting as we used all the hand gestures and pictures we could think of to teach him. We didn't get through the whole lesson, but we are going back tonight to give him a Thai Book of Mormon, so that should be good. We are excited for the week ahead. A good time to reevaluate our efforts and set goals for the coming year. It will be a great one. I'm going to say the best one yet. I love you all and have a great day!
Your Obedient Servant,
Elder Austin James Ashcraft
