"Ashton!!! A job worth doing is worth doing well!!!" -Dad

My dad said the above quote ALLLLL OF THE TIME growing up! weather i vacuumed for 2 seconds and called it good...or weather i did my version of doing the dishes (running a plate under semi-warm water) he would tell me that a job worth doing is worth doing WELL ...why didnt it stick till now??? good question! but my goodness! better late than never eh?

     this work is important!!! appleton has a lot of people! there are people to see, people to touch, people to find! and i really know that!!!! so a job worth doing has definitely fallen upon me and I am trying to follow dad's advice by doing the job well! not for anyone else but for the Lord

      We really saw some fruit this week!!!! we knocked on the door of a man named Ty who a member told us moved into the area! We didn't know if he was not a member or was! so we went! they let us inside and he and his wife informed us that he was a member (not active) and she had been taught by sisters before (lamprecht and gifford) (sis gifford replaced me in Milwauke YSA) and that Kylii (wife) was going to get baptized but they just fell out of contact! WELL!...we taught them about Joseph Smith and eternal families! AND Kylii has agreed to be baptized on August 14th! we are SO EXCITED! their little family can go to the temple and experience the blessings there! WE WERE SO EXCITED AFTER THAT LESSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! after all lessons we were excited!!!!!!!!!!

        cool story......also odd..........hahaha we were walking down the street on our way to an appt. but we gave some extra time so we could talk to people in their yards or the street! and we see a younger guy in his yard....sitting on a chair...clipping his toe nails...and what is he wearing...nothing. HAHA...well not nothing.,....but not much! but hey! TEACH ALL NATIONS?.....haha so we went and talked to him....i never had so much eye-contact with an individual!! haha but despite the awkward situation! HE was an honest seeker of truth! GOOD GUY! he was hmong and so we let the hmong elders go back and teach him! but it was just really great!!!! and unexpected! haha so if you want to find the restored gospel....sit outside in nothing and clip your toe nails....doctrine i tell you!

        Saw sister Quist this week!!!! SHE IS A DOLL AND I LOVE HER!!!!! 

(picture will be attached) :)

       sister Christensen is great. the work is great! REALLY progressing! Trying to get the ball rolling and bring more people to the truth!

I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!!!
