Hello All!
Greetings from the southern-most point of Canada. It is the only place where you have to actually go north to get to the Contiguous states (excluding Alaska, of course). I learned that this week. We had a good week of finding. We were able to be led to four of God's children this week. There has been some progress made on some of the others as well. Kyle, an 18 year old from Mississauga, wants to be baptized. Due to his circumstances and history, it will take some time, but the desire is there. We will be working with him to help him move toward that. We also were able to meet with Elvis (Yeah, I know). He is from Albania. He is really busy with school, but we were able to take 15 minutes and share the Plan of Salvation with him. It was good. He will have a lot more time when exams are finished at the end of April.
It has been a good week. The sun is shining! The plants are
coming back to life! The Gospel is Restored! What a great time to
be alive! It is a great time to share the Gospel and to shout as Paul
did, "I am not Ashamed of the Gospel of Christ!" We have had a
few people come up to us this past week and bring up some rather
uncomplimentary accusations against us, due to the showing if that PBS
documentary on "The Mormons." I love that the gift of the Holy
Ghost allows us to sift through all the nonsense and the lies and that it
testifies of Truth. I just was thinking about it, and every question,
concern, that was brought up, the gospel
has an answer. I love it. I am very grateful for this opportunity
for others to show how THEY can know. What greater thing could we be
doing than bringing our Brothers and sisters closer to Christ. That was
something I picked up on in Conference As well. We need to come to Christ
and Bring others with us. I love it. I can't say that enough.
Alma 26:16 (Look it up, I recommend it. That's how I feel....) I love you
all! Have a great day!
Your Obedient Servant,
Elder Austin James Ashcraft
