Week 10

This week was a really slow week for missionary work here in Williams.  We had a bunch of lessons set up and just as many lessons cancel!  We weren't able to meet with Cassie or the Payne family this week.  We talked to Josh and invited him to Church, but he didn't show.  We actually didn't have any investigators at Church.  We will keep working hard and I am sure that things will pick up.  We will be having a Zone Activity again today.  We are playing flag football.  That should be fun.  The sisters in our Zone are down at the Temple Open House, so when they are gone all the Elders like to play something athletic....Hope all is well with everyone.

Love you all,
Elder Ashby

More Conference notes:

Quentin L. Cook
Decisions determine destiny
Getting school done and getting a job before marriage is acceptable to the world, but doesn't show faith (don't worry about it).
**Aaron - prepare for your mission, don't just have it happen.  Read Preach My Gospel.
Exercise  greater discipline.

Craig C. Christensen
Gain a testimony for yourself.
The testimony of others will carry you only so far.

Dean M Davies
Care for the poor and needy
Law of the fast.

Dieter F. Uchtdorf
Look inward..."Lord is it I?"  Jesus telling Apostles one would betray him.
See ourselves clearly.
Those who try to become more like Christ will be the ones to experience the miracle of the atonement.

Henry B. Eyring
Aaronic Priesthood
We all have an obligation to prepare to help others to be prepared.

President Thomas S. Monson
We have been provided a way to know which way to travel.  The German ship Bismark.
A man without a purpose is like a ship without a rudder.
Nothing will bring greater joy and success than living the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
As we see help from God our rudder will not fail like the Bismark.

More to come next week!!!
