Ashton blog: Wounded Foot Ain't Gettin Me Down

So after we ran one morning we came inside and I was cooling off and was laying on the floor in our bedroom and Sister Rosenblum comes to me and says "Here you do a handstand and I will hold your legs!" So of course I'm down for that so I go up into a handstand....and maybe she wasn't expecting it...i don't know but she and I both lost our balance and she ends up falling on top of me....and pushed my foot into the corner of my metal bed frame and I couldn't walk and my foot started to bleed a lot....hahahhaha so we just wrapped it and because we did that none of my shoes fit.....so I just walked around all day with one shoe done up and the other unlaced...and i walked like a fool...but WHATEVER! "No Unhallowed hand (or foot) can stop the work from progressing". Truth!

Anyway! The work of God continues...

When sister Christensen and I were together over the summer we contacted a woman named Debbie! Debbie lives in New London and is a massage therapist! She said we could come back! anyway! It was hard to get in contact with her after that! But last week sister Rosenblum and I just contacted her out of the blue and she said we could come back and as we were about to walk away she said "Wait! can you explain to me the book of mormon??" and we said of course! so we gave her one briefly explained and then asked to come back and talk about it in detail and so this week we did just that! And she was SO EXCITED to read it! It was incredible!!! I love teaching about the Book of Mormon! It is interesting historically of course!!! but it brings us closer to Jesus Christ! It fills gaps that are there! It contains the FULNESS of the gospel! No other book can do this for the human race!!!! INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!! what a gift!!!

So I know that it is almost voting day!!!...and its annoying that EVERYONE wants to talk about it with us and get our opinions! But it makes sense, because people are worried you know? SO its been SOOOOO Cool to teach people about Thomas S. Monson!!!! We teach that he is not paid, He is constant because God is constant! and he is not in it for power nor is he in it fir wealth or popularity!! I've seem it bring many people solace this week!

Also! EXCITING NEWS! Jim....brother stapps friend....who we slaughtered chickens with???? Brother stapp came up to me at church and said "hey swing by my house....I need you to help me draft a text asking if jim wants to meet with the both of you in my home!"

as i sat with this brother and helped him make this text message...i was reminded how simple sharing the gospel can be! Be an example...send a text...thats it. :)

I LOVE YOU ALL!
