Sister Wise! I talked to God...We're going to Olive Garden!!

hahaha okay! So the title of this email is a quote from Charlene!! A woman who is being baptized on September 19th! We are so excited! It'll be here before we know it!!!! :) YAY! anyway! Charlene had told us that her daughter who is a member wants to take all of us out to dinner after the baptism! So i said "Okay well there is the Forum on 108th or there is Red Robin on 76th, or olive garden" and she said "uuuummmmmmm i don't know....let me talk to God!" and so we get a text later that night and it just said "Sister Wise! I talked to God! We're goin to Olive Garden!" haha it was so sweet because i really do know that she talked to God and that she values WHATEVER he has to say on whatever the subject! It is sweet! May we all talk to God in the friendly manner and as often as Charlene talks to God! :) it's inspiring! and makes me smile!

     OKAY! So!!!!! one of the goals that sister palmer and i set as a companionship, was to TALK TO EVERYONE! if they wanted to talk to us or not we were going to introduce the restored Gospel to them! Because that is our calling! to invite others to come to Christ! We can't invite if we don't open our mouths!! :) SO! We just talked and talked and talked!...which wasn't really hard because i like to talk! Ha kidding! It is awkward to talk to people sometimes, but this never was about me after all so who cares right? haha 

      ANYWAY! we were going into the mission office to pick up a few things and as we were about to walk in we see a man walking so I eye him like how a deacon eyes a beehive before the last song at the stake dance!!!! It was THAT intense! hahaha turns out this man's name is earl! And we set an appointment to come teach earl and he came to church with us and he is on date to be baptized in september! WHAT????? Miracle? Anyone? haha

       Another story is about talking to everyone AND being EXACTLY obedient! So we got back to the apartment at like 8:53ish and so one part of me says "Nah it's okay ashton! you worked hard today! you can go in 7 minutes early...no biggie!" and then the other part said "be exactly obedient and God will surely cause a miracle to occur" and so i said "no no sister! We are going to just stay out here and walk around and teach some people (either getting out of their cars or walking dogs, etc)" so we stay outside, we are walkin around and i am just praying: "please just put someone in our path!" and then we see a woman getting a bunch of boxes out of her car and we said "Can we help??" and she said "nah you don't want to! Its okay! and i dropped my bag and said "NAH OF COURSE WE DO! we're gunna help you!" haha and she laughed and accepted our offer! 

     so it turns out she just moved from Alabama! she works for the FDA and she was moving in on saturday! and she said "yeah so 6 movers are coming and moving my stuff" and i said "woah woah you are paying for 6 guys to come??" and she said "well yeah...no one would do it for free!" and i said "SURE THEY WILL! We know 6 guys that would love to come and help you!" So sure enough! Satuday morning at 830 we had us and 6 elders out there helping her move all of her stuff! It was awesome!!! She was so grateful for the help and GUESS WHAT! SHE CAME TO CHURCH WITH US! yeah it was "tight like unto a dish" for sure! we went over and taught the Plan of Salvation! and shes getting bapt...hahaha kidding not getting baptized! But we did teach her! IT was awesome! SUCH A MIRACLE!

      ANYWAY! This email is long!!!!! My bad! haa but incase you didn't know! I love this work! I love His work! i am grateful for the Matchless love which the Savior provides for me!!!!! "For Jesus died on calvary that all through Him, might ransomed be! Then sing hosanna to His name! Let Heaven and Earth His love proclaim!" I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!!! i have a testimony of this work and especially of the prophet Joseph Smith! What an inspired man! I love you all!!!!!

WISCONSIN LOVE!
