Today was pretty good. We had District activity where we
went and hiked in the Gorge! My email was being screwy today which was a
bummer. We went to the Kriwer's for basketball and dinner they had us over as
well as Elder Jensen and Nistler for Elder Jensen and my birthday! It was
really good and they are an awesome family! I got the silver in around the
world! We went and shared our small and simple things message with the new move
in family the Logan's which was really good!
July 14
Today we had Zone Conference which was really, really
good! There was a really inspiring discussion about setting life goals. It was
great to see some Flagstaff friends! On the way back from Cottonwood our car
started acting up and we think the transmission is somehow messed up :( We
walked to our dinner appointment with the Jeffrey's, then they gave us a ride to our lesson
with the Banners, who then gave us a ride to the Kriwer's where we were scheduled for
a lesson but they forgot and were out on a walk so they came back and we just
visited and they took us to Sonic as a going away for Elder Smith because they
are going out of town soon.
July 15
Today was pretty good. We took the car in to get fixed
and got it all taken care of. We went with the other Elders to do service for
Brother Trevor. We got a short time to study before our lesson with one of our
Spanish investigators, Josie. We stopped by the Herrera's, then we went to dinner
with another Spanish family, Blanca, Pinal and Jimmy Tapia. We had a lesson with
the Podbielski's and our appointments with the Dugan's and Grinter's had to
cancel. We talked to Bishop about our car then we visited the Brower's who are
going through a bit of a rough time, but it was a really good visit and we
really helped them out.
July 16
Today after studies Brother O'Connor took us out to lunch
for my birthday which was a pretty good diner. We did our weekly planning and
then had dinner with the James. We had our Coordination Meeting, then splits.
Elder Smith taught the Herrera's and I taught Brother
Christman. We came back to meet and did a couple things online.
July 17
This morning we went and helped the other Elders move a
family which was fun. We got back and had lunch. We had dinner with the
McCormick family which was good. We helped the Hoggard's move and then went to
the Buckmaster's for their Small and Simple things picture. We made visits the
rest of the night and had some fun finding a tarantula and the other Elders
finding a big frog. We are exchanging so I am with Elder Cook in their area
tomorrow.

Today we went over to the Miller's, who are the ones who have
lost their son and a lot of people from the Ward were there and we did a lot of
yard work. We then went and did yard work for one of their (the other Elders) members. We got
ready for their investigators baptism, Sam Biggler, and the baptism was really
great Kenya and Brenda Herrera came and seemed to enjoy it.
We went and talked to Eduardo and Kenya afterwards then
went to the Church for a Coordination Meeting with Brother Dalton in
preparation for Stake Coordination.
July 19
Today was pretty good. Brenda, Kenya, Eduardo, and Maria
Juvera came to Church. Stake Coordination this morning was good. After Church
we had a really good lunch. We did some studies and online. We had dinner with
the Burgman's. We visited Eduardo and dropped off the leftover birthday cake. We
visited the Jefferies for a long time which was a blast!I hope you all have had a great week. The work is moving along here. The Ward Members are really starting to catch the vision and are helping us out. It is great to see.
Love you all,
Elder Ashby
