Hello All!
How is life? I hope all is well. It has been a bit of a roller-coaster this week, in more than one sense. Can you all pray for Mark Nowlan this week. He is experiencing some pretty fierce doubt, and all this just after his baptism. He saw that PBS special on the Mormons and that shook him pretty bad. He needs a little spiritual help right now, I hope you can all help. It was a decent week otherwise. We had a great Zone Conference. I love conferences. General, Stake, Ward, Zone, Mission. Conferences are just great. It's really good to hear the words of our leaders and of the Spirit. We have been doing a lot with members lately. We are trying to work more closely with them and use the tremendous resource they are. We have run into some less active members that are less than pleased with the Church. It has been interesting to see that every one of their issues comes from Pride. It truly is, as President Benson describes, the Universal Sin. I have noticed how much we truly need the Savior. Those who push his hand away and say "I don't need you." are truly lost, and they are without His blessings. It is sad. I know that he lives, and that he directs this work. I love Him. I love you. Have a great Week!
Your Obedient Servant,
Elder Austin James Ashcraft
