Ashton

Throwback to ya boy!

Hey all! It's been a great week! Said peace out to Chester. Chester was real good. It was sad to say bye to the people there. Especially my boys elder Godfrey and Dave. Elder Godfrey is a flippin legend, it was so good serving with him. Good lad. 

So. Ashton. It's small. Haha it's weird coming from such a big area. I'm used to like 45 minute bus rides all the time and now it's like 5 minute bus rides. It's pretty great. (: soooo we have like 0 investigators so there's not a lot to report about... but we've been working super hard and trying to find new investigators and contacting a lot of former investigators. So it's been good! 

Our flat is kinda ghetto haha, the other day I walked downstairs from showering and my desk was covered in water. I was wondering what the heck elder Charles had been getting up to haha. 😂 but. Our ceiling was peeing. So no big deal. Not even slightly a problem. 

The new comp is elder Charles! This kid is literally the best. Haha he is so funny, were just laughing all day long. This is his 3rd transfer, and he is one solid missionary. He kills the game, super warm and friendly, hard working and knows his stuff. Takes the gospel and his mission so seriously and so not seriously at the same time haha that is the way to do it. 😜 also he's black. Which is the best part. He cooks dang good Caribbean style food as well which I'm lovin. 

What the heck was Elder Godfrey doing with his eggs?

The district here is great! There is 8 of us, and they are all the best. (: I'm excited to do exchanges! Also this is the last transfer with president Ulrich, then we will be getting the new president. (: should be weird haha but also good. Also. I got to see my boys at our transfer meeting. Good good stuff. 😎 cepooda. Alright since this email was crap I'll type out a little spiritual thought to try to redeem it. 😜 

Ive been thinking about the sacrament and how special it truly is. Ive been trying to keep it from becoming mundane and routine because it has been for quite a while. But! The sacrament is so important! We get to renew our baptismal convenants every single week! Washed clean every single week! Just like our bodies need food, we need the spiritual food that comes from taking the sacrament every week! The sacrament is such a blessing. Pay attention to the prayers, they are amazing and full of meaning. So yeah! Good stuff! Well I hope you all have a great week! Love you all!
