Spring Break 2015

Heyyy mommy how are you ??

 

I'm great writting alittle about one of the best and fastest weeks in my mission.. So this was the big week..... the wedding of the lerma family and the baptizm of the best family i know in my mission !!! So the whole week we were running around makind sure all of the members and family members we invited to the wedding and baptizm. When Friday rolled around i was  ready to get it all over with and be calm again. So Friday we woke up and got ready really quick so  we could go look for the shoes that elder Nobmann left for Jorge and than we went dropped those off and than we went back to the apartement and change and went to the office building were they do the legal weddings. the family showed up alittle late because they had to change all of the kids and wait for a taxie but overall the meeting was really pretty and there was alot of members there. so the baptizm was really nice too.... alittle crazy but nice. so yet again the family was late to show up because of taxies and the members didnt offer to help till after it was too late....... so we started changing and than some one told me that the little boy of the family wanted to go pee and saw the pool of bautizmal faunt and tried going pee but with the glass it just rebounded and got his pants all wet.....  so ya Cindy had to go and buy a new pare of pants so he wouldnt have to be in his pants with pee... so ya after all of the crazieness we started the baptizm and it was all great. I baptized Cindy and my comp baptized Axel the son and man the water was sooo cold!! overall great week well all is well

Hey Mommy
 

ya I'm writing today because Monday I had interviews with president so ya we moved our day till today so ya that why I'm writing today. All is well here in Zion.!!!! today I finished all that I need to do with the weeding so ya now I'm really happy and now I just have to wait till Friday and than Saturday for the baptism!!!!! So that blows my mind is the difference I have seen with this family!!! there was times when they would go to the dump and look for clothes to wash and than resell in the flee market Saturday....... really really sad but now they are happy with what they have and the lord is really helping them with work and finding what they need. So ya overall they are my favorites !!! they told me that if they have another kid they will call him Logan (Tyler is too strange) and than his other names will be a little more normal but they told me that thanks to me and elder Stoddard they are more happy than any other moment in their lives so ya I feel truly blessed to be part of their lives. so ya all is going great. hey so I didn't get the paper or the collage doesn't recognize that I got them.... ya I have no idea what to doo......

 

well I hope all is well  and in three months I will be home to help with the move so I will keep the family in my prayers .

 

Love Elder Ashworth. 

March 1st

Wow I never knew that elder Perry lived in Idaho...... hey I was studying the book about president Benson and I says he was a stake president in Boise Idaho too! Also president Benson is from Whitney Idaho too I never knew that Idaho had such cool residents. So my new comp is called elder Salgado he is from Corbada Argentina!  So ya he is my first Argentine comp so ya I'm really happy that I have someone that can help me with my Spanish and help me get a good accent and that understands how the people think here. or well that's what I thought it was going to be like.... So every day here is one day less of summer here ya!!!!! so things are going well and I'm really happy to be training and helping this new elder learn about the mission and about Neuquén Argentina. so how are things with Emma?? so ya I ran out of time I'm sorry mommy so ya I love you guys and miss you all.

Today was a special Sunday. L.Tom Perry came to Meridian to attend a Stake Conference...and they decided to video-stream it to over 100 buildings throughout the valley.  It was wonderful! His family grew up in various parts of Idaho, he even lived in Boise for a time.  When it was his turn to speak, he popped up out of his chair and walked quickly to the podium!  I always thought that he was a shorter man....but he was quite tall.  He is in his 90s!!!  Incredible! He did just recover from breaking 6 ribs though.  He shared the story of watching a football game on New Year's day....but when he got up to get some candy, he heard a play on the TV that he wanted to see the replay, but tripped over the stool, hit a coffee table....and broke 6 ribs!  The doctor's advice was "don't fall down any more" :0)  There were two speakers before:  Brother Nielson (of the Seventy).  He is originally from Burley :0)  He told great stories, analogies to life.  He spoke of "becoming".  That was his first assignment as a Seventy...."to become".  What are the things in your life that need to change to ..."to become"?  That leads to deep thoughts...because it isn't just the things you need to change to become closer to our Savior, but it is life....what do you need to change to become what you want to be, to have, to experience out of life.  If you place the focus of change on the things that are more spiritual...the temporal blessings will come as well.

Life is moving so fast! Look for something new each day to see, try, eat, experience! Smile and serve all those around you
love you forever and for always no matter what
