lastest Zone Conference

Ashlety Email and Pictures

Hey mom. How are things going? Happy anniversary!!! I love you and dad so much. Last night me and my companion couldnt sleep and she said oh i´m not tired...and i said me either and she said Lets talk! so we talked all about my family and her family and she said that she wants to meet you all. I told her all about how you and dad met and how your anniversary is today 25 years. she says to tell you happy anniversary and that she loves you and she is glad you are my parents.

 

I am so grateful for our precious family. THe time goes by so fast. Seems like yesterday we were running around with flour sticking to our feet in the restaurant and now we are 5000 miiles or more away from eachother. I sure am grateful for every sacrifice you and dad made for us and this includes all the sacrifices of worldly things for our sake. There is nothing in the world that can replace the loss of the precious years of childhood being taught righteousness by loving parents. You did not fail as so many others sadly have. I love you so much and wish you the best day ever!!!

Shoot! You guys are awesome! I just want you to know that I am so blessed to have you guys! I hope you know that I pray for you everyday. When I have a challenge ahead of me or a problem to solve I think of you. I think, how would Russell talk to this person? What would he say? What would Mom do in this situation? Dad told me a story once that will help this person. Maddy is a perfect example of how I want this person to be. Jesse once said this to me when I was having a hard time. How would Logan talk to all of these people? I wonder how Tyler is doing? Maybe he is having the same problem down south. You all are huge examples for me and for the people here. I talk about you all day long! I promise people blessings that I have seen in our lives. I hope you know that you are close by me always. You are always helping me even though you aren´t here. 

I can´t believe that general conference is here already! I remember watching it on the BIG SCREEN. hahahaha I have played that weekend over and over in my mind this week. I love you all so much! I am so thankful for my family. For prophets and for this church. Please keep working hard. Keep being yourselves and keep sharing your testimonies. Your laughs and smiles alone work wonders. I hope you know I am doing good. I miss you all so much, but I know you are doing good!

Here are some pictures of the week. These people are so special to me. It is so cool how quickly you become connected to people. I will be close to them forever.

I love you all so much. We are teaching lots of great people! The area is new, but So many people are ready to accept the gospel. This work is directed by Heavenly Father. I know that Christ is our Savior and Redeemer and through him we are made whole. Heavenly Father hears and answers our prayers. I know this church is true. The Lord has never let me down. I know that when we are obedient we recieve everything and more than we need and ask for.

Love you all so much!

My dad and I had the opportunity to go up to Salt Lake a few days before the rest of the family and we went to the Salt Lake Temple and went through a session! It was such a great experience! After we got done we walked around Temple Square and took a few pictures. We ran into a sister up there who is from Sao Paulo - the city I will be serving in! She was the cutest! She assured me I'd love the food and thanked me for serving the people of her city. We told her Tyler was serving in Brazil as well and she couldn't believe it! It was so great that I was able to meet her! She was able to answer some questions I had and it really was comforting! I know we were led to talk to her.
