HOW TRUE THAT STATEMENT IS!!!!!!!!!!! I love my mission president!!! because he truly believes that he doesn't run the mission!!! The Lord, Jesus Christ runs it! He is but a servant! As am I! He is so humble! A scientist/professor by training but a Mission President by revelation! He has been called by apostles! I know it! if someone as intelligent as he believes in the book of mormon, shouldn't we all consider it truthfulness?? I love learning from him! He and sister cutler and megan leave in 10 days!!! they will be DEEPLY missed here! all of the members adore them! and investigators always remember "that cutler fellow!! Hes bold!" haha THAT he is!!!
But a new mission president will be so good for the mission! We are excited to see what we can learn from President and Sister Williams! From California!! can't wait!!!!
As for the work this week! We had a good week!!!!! the work is CRAZY IN MILWAUKEE!! hahaha we teach many many people on the street! common problem? Law of Chastity! Are people married? no... hahaha never! we taught the law of chastity to our investigator and invited her to either marry her boyfriend who she lives with...or to encourage him to move out so that she can keep this VITAL commandment of God! She said she would because she wants to be baptized!
we got a call 2 days later from her boyfriend....who was....not happy! but HEY what are you gunna do??? so he let us know that he wasn't happy that young 20 year old girls would come in and tell her what to do with her relationship!..and he said "when Jesus tells me to move out i will! NOT YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" and I thought! WAIT!!!! I represent Him!!!!!!!! Did i really believe this??? I think i DO!!! I felt it when he called!!! So when I invite it is actually Him inviting! when i pray for investigators...it is as if He is praying for them! THAT was cool to see this week!
as I read in the book of Mormon i am filled with hope in the atonement!! I am currently in alma chapter 60! War chapters through and through! but it is interesting! the war chapters consist of possession of land and losing that land and then repossessing it! its interesting! Satan would have us follow himmm...Christ? have us follow Him! so who are we going to let "possess" us? sounds creepy but essentially that is what it is! there is no gray! Either its the spirit within us! or a lack of the Spirit! Which allows the devil to sneak in there! JUST EVIDENCE That the Book of Mormon, as Rick Mortenson would say: "Exposes Satan!" and for THIS I am grateful!!!!!!
OH AND P.S. HAPPY FATHERS DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE MY DAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He has taught me to lOVE MY GOD! and to love my family! To love my country.....i think the most treasured words from him that have really resonated with me throughout my mission have been "Ashton! A Job Worth doing...i worth doing well!!!!!" HOW TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU DAD!!!!!!!!!!! I love you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love you fam and friends! GOD BLESS!!!!!!
