Dear Mom,
Another week has gone by. It has gone so fast. I am doing pretty well actually. Not much is really going on right now as far as work wise, but things are going pretty well. Speaking of The Book of Mormon... We have been trying to get those out more and more lately. There is a new translation for Japanese, yet in order to get those we need to get rid of the old ones so we are trying to get those out more. Yet, I have not been able to get any out. Unless we find a new investigator then it is easy, but other than that it is way hard. I am about to tell you something really amazing by the way. So, one day we were out and I was trying to think about how to get people to want to take the Book of Mormon, but I honestly could not think of anything. So we went home pretty discouraged, not being able to get book of mormons out. Then that night, I had an awesome dream. We were streeting, and we were talking to some guy, and luckily it was in english and i was able to understand. So I asked him, if you could know that God speaks to his children, and that there was book to prove it, something you could like hold, wouldn`t that be important? And what should we do with that book? He was like ya that would be important and we should read that book, and learn from it. Then I was like "YA, thats it, I want to give you this book." and then the dream was over and I woke up. Honestly, that was the answer I have been looking for to be able to hand out Book of Mormons. I know that that answer came from Heavenly Father. I needed help, and he did, he helped me out. I have also come to love reading the scriptures. They are amazing and I want to get them out there. I now know how. So ya, things are going pretty well right now. I actually sent some pictures home last week, they had to go through snail mail, sorry, but they should be there by tomorrow, maybe. I am glad that the ward got the letter. I really had no idea what to say in it.
So anyways, we are going bowling today. We are going with some investigators and PI`s, that is potential investigators. So we are going to have some fun today. So ya that is really all for right now. I love you all. Talk to you later.
Love Elder Lane Ashmore
