Ashton blog: "IM BEARING MY TESTIMONY AS HARD AS I CAN!"

October 26, 2015

Hello hello hello friends and family! So the story behind the title is this:

SO our investigator Richard (who found on the side of the road and who is supposed to be baptized) came to church and then came to a baptism! After the baptism we talked with him and he said "In all honesty i don't want to have to make the changes to be baptized and i was just BEARING MY TESTIMONY SO HARD! like SSOOOOOOOOOOOOOO so hard! he was saying no and i was saying "you sure????" and he said yes and i said "CHECK YOUR EARS ARE YOU SURE!?!?!?!?!?!" hahahahah and i just said "Richard! WE CAN BE BAPTIZED INTO EVERY CHURCH ON THIS EARTH, but if its not by someone who has the authority of God to do so, then we are ignoring the commandment of Jesus Christ when He said "Follow me!" " and he just said "no....." hahahahhhahaha i couldn't help but laugh afterwards even though i was SUPER bummed! Because i was SERIOUSLY exhausted after that lesson! I seriously did bear my testimony sUPAh hard! ahhaha :) oh richard...give it time....he'll come around! :)

but this week has been a razy week! all of my friends went home! IT WAS TRANSFERS! (insert dramatic music here)! but it was coool because we had the opportunity to take the missionaries going home tracting and out to work with us before they went home! It was really really cool!

OH! okay! So it was really cool because we went to go see Charlene (Recent convert of l like a month!) and she said to us "you know...i think being a senior missionary in Salt Lake would be pretty cool and i was doin a part dance in my head! I AM SO PUMPED FOR HER! We are focusing on getting her to the temple right now though! Hopefully soon! :)

OH! And as we were walking in to charlenes apartment complex this woman was outside and we were talking to her and she was all like "I need God in my life" and we said "OH WE CAN HELP WITH THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)" hahaha and so we went back to her house and her name is daisy. daisy has had a ROUGH life! and holy cow...i thought i was back at good ol' VALLIVUE HIGH SCHOOL because the woman had the mouth of a sailor! WWWOOOOOWWWWW! hahahaha i was just singin "Be still my soul" In my head the whole time! hahhahahah oh dear daisy! She has potential! haha

WELL!!!!!! FRIENDS FAMILY LOVED ONES! it was good emailing you! :) i love you all! BUT MOST OF ALL!

I know that this is the ONLY true church! This i know by the Spirit! I know that Jesus Christ is my Savior! He knows me! and He STILL Loves me despite all of my wicked ways! I will see Him one day! I know that as well! I will not know any better then than i know now, that He is God's only begotten son in the flesh! He lives! I know it! I know that Jospeh Smith restored the Gospel to the earth! He wouldn't have made all of this up! He is no liar! :I love him and hope to thank him one day! Love you all!
