Dear Mom,
Hey you were sick it is way okay. I got really sick like a couple weeks ago or last week. i probably told you about it. Anyway, I cant believe that is already set up**.
Crud this stuff is going fast. I really only have like 2 weeks left. I am freaking out. Like don't get me wrong I am way excited to come home but I am really scared at the same time. I just thought this whole thing would last longer. Sometimes I wish it would.
So those two baptisms are still set up for tomorrow. I am way excited too. Man on my birthday. What better present can you ask for. I am just so excited right now. And we have an investigator from this area coming too to see it. Hopefully he will be baptized too soon.
Man I really cant believe this is all coming to a close. I cant believe it. I am scared to get on with a new life. This one has been so great. Freaking hard at times yes, but just so great. But, I have learned a lot. About myself and about the gospel and what I really need to do to help others and make sure I am doing what I need to do. I love this work.
I love you mom, and cant wait to see you again. I miss you. Talk to you later.
Love,
Elder Lane Ashmore

Dear Dad,
What?! It is only 24 days left. Man I can`t believe that. I thought it was still like 30. Time is just moving so fast. I really can`t believe it. I am really excited to be home soon. And I cant wait to go camping. I have missed that so much. **So I get to talk then huh. That is way sweet. I hope I will be able to remember English when I talk. It may be a little problem. I have only given talks in Japanese for the past two years so it is a little weird to talk in English. I think. ***Hey personally I think you shouldn't practice at all, because like I haven't been able to practice for the last two years. I mean that would just make things a little bit fairer.
****Oh man they got sick that is way weird. The other day I thought I just caught a little cold. Like in the morning my nose was stuffed and stuff, but then like an hour later I was laying in bed with a big fever and just shaking so much. I thought I was going to die, but my companion gave me a blessing and it was gone that day, so I am doing good now. Hopefully everyone back home will get better soon.
So news way cool news. So in my old area there are a couple of people that are going to be baptized right. One is a lady about the same age as mom, she is way cool and she told me she wanted me to baptize her. Then like a couple of days ago the other lady called me and she was like, "hey I have some news I want to be baptized and I want you to do it" I was so excited and I asked her what day she was going to be baptized and she said FEBRUARY 2ND. Crazy huh, they are actually both going to be baptized that day. So I get to baptize two people that day. On my birthday. Man what better present can you get on your birthday. I am way excited. I was the first missionary for both of them. My comp and I started teaching them both in that area. Way cool story on how we met them. Tell you when I get home, it is a little long. I am just way excited for that.
Man time is moving fast but we are seeing so much great things happen here. I am way excited to be here sometimes way sad thinking I have to leave soon, but I have seen great things happen here. I am excited to go home don't get me wrong but it will be hard. I am trying hard to focus. Make sure I am doing what I need to. Well, that is all for this week. I cant wait to see you too dad. soon. really soon. Love you. Talk to you later.

Be grateful you are in an American primary. Trust me the ones here are like 10 times worse. I mean these kids are wild as can be. I am way surprised sometimes the things that they do. It scares me sometimes thinking, what if I am a primary teacher someday. Freaky thought. Anyway, things here are doing good. I am back in my bean area and loving it. Got in touch with some old friends that were investigating before and stopped, but now are again. They are really promising, and way excited to see me. I was the first missionary to start teaching them. It was way cool. And their kids love me. She said I was the only one that the kids really were not shy with and remembered the most. That is pretty cool. I really love this family. I really hope they will be baptized while I am here. Man I am so excited to be back here. To see a lot of things happen. It is just crazy that this is my last transfer. I got a thing in the mail listing all my companions and my areas and it said "dear returning missionary" I was like AAAHHH!!! I can't believe this is it. Time has just moved too fast. I am suppose to get my itinerary, I have no idea how to spell that, anyway that thing that tells me my flight plans and when I am suppose to be there and stuff. It is going to be really hard when I get those. But, I will do my best to focus and work hard to the end. Well, I love you mom and I will try to get some pictures to you. I just need to chose some. I have taken a few since I last sent some which was like a year ago so I have taken a ton since then so I will try to get some to you soon. I love you and miss you. Talk to you later.

Dear Mom,
Well, first thing first I did transfer. I am in an area called Otsu. It is right by the biggest lake in Japan. And when I say big I mean huge. Well, I am in japan anything big looks huge. I am here with elder Shinozaki. Another Japanese companion. Oh and he speaks English too. But, I am trying to get the Japanese practice in as well. We are doing awesome. He is way cool. He is actually really new. This is only his 2nd transfer. But things are going awesome. The second day here we found two new investigators. That was way cool. Both are way cool guys. The ward here is way sweet, they just have, what we call dendo fire, which means they really want to work hard with the missionaries. I am really excited to work here right now. I feel like things are going to be really awesome here. Right now I am doing the District leader thing. It has been really fun, but I feel so old. The district is a bunch of young guys. I feel so old. Man this is really weird how time is just moving so fast. It is a scary thought sometimes.What I really like about chapter 6 (preach my gospel), and if I am correct, sorry I am not carrying my PMG with me, but if I am correct that is the Christlike Attributes section. And what I like about it is at the end there is that test you can take to kind of rate yourself and see areas that you need to improve and then you can focus on those areas. Really study those things you need work on. It has really helped me a lot. I am really grateful I have been raised in the church too. Yet, I am not perfect. I have made some mistakes, some really stupid mistakes. Like I...we strive to become perfect, but what Elder Stevenson said when he was here, "you are not perfect." We will make mistakes throughout our lives, but from those mistakes we learn, and become better. I have had "I wish I had..." moments, but that is in the past. What we should do is look learn and look to the future. Make things better for our future, cause the past is already done. I am truly grateful for this gospel. For the things it teaches me, and how from all I learn in the scriptures from living prophet`s words today, I can learn how to be a better person. That through Christ i can be clean from my sins, from my mistakes. This is really a truly amazing gospel. And I get to share it with the Japanese people. In Japanese. I still think that is weird sometimes, that I am speaking Japanese. So things are going great right now and will get even greater. I love you mom, and miss you so much. Talk to you later. Love Your son,

Dear Mom,
Man the weeks are just moving by so fast. I really cant believe that this week is already gone. I am still in Takatsuki with my comp. We are working hard each day trying to find those that are ready to hear this amazing message. Man it seems that everyone from Washington wants to move down to Arizona. That is crazy. Well, what can I tell you about this week. Not much has changed since the past week. We have been working hard and we have found some really awesome people to talk to. A couple of them came to church yesterday, it was way cool. We had a lesson and at the end of the lesson one of them prayed. It was way sweet. This work is hard sometimes. There are the days that I feel like I am working so hard and nothing is going on at all, and I just think, "Am I doing something wrong", I know it is at those times that I think about my weaknesses, I pray that I may become strong. Then the next thing you know we meet a really cool guy. Everyday I pray to become stronger. And a better person. I am trying to serve. We do the little things like pick things up for people and pick up fallen over bikes, those little things I think are really good. It is actually really difficult because the culture is that they really don't believe in receiving help, they think if they cant do it on their own they are good for nothing. but, we still try and help any way we can. I really have grown to love these people.Well, I really don't know what else to write about. OH WAIT!! You wont believe what happened, I made no bake cookies the other day, and I got it. I finally got it right. and they were good. That is all about that. So that is really what is going on right now. I love you and miss you so much. I will talk to you later and see you much later. LOVE YOU!!!
Love,
Elder Lane Ashmore

Dear Mother,
So you want to know how things are going then. You really want to know huh. Well, I will tell you how things are going in one word, FREAKING AWESOME!!! Okay that was two words, but that is how it is. The baptism did happen. I am going to send you a picture. I only got one picture though. It was amazing. The ward we are in Hasn't had one for more than 5 years. They were way excited about it. The man is Takase. We has a way sweet testimony. He was totally prepared. We found taught and baptized him in a week and a half. It was truly a miracle. Yet, this week we will most likely have another baptism. Soga san, a way cool guy we met when we got here. His story is just amazing. We met him the day he was thinking about God, and He took a wrong road and I mean he was prepared so much. He will be getting baptized this week or the next. We are shooting for Wednesday. There are miracles happening here in this area right now. It is so amazing. Man I am way excited right now. We are just working really hard and we are meeting amazing people. People that we know are just so prepared. The other day we met this young guy that is catholic, but he doesn't go to church much, but we invited him to church and he got excited and said he will bring his friend because the friend started to be interested in religion, I mean we are seeing miracles here and it is just so amazing. Man I am just so happy right now. There are so many miracles. And I am able to be apart of it. It is awesome. I myself have changed from this all. I have so much more faith. So much more desire. I want to talk to as many people as possible. Man this is so cool. So, ya things are going amazing. Oh, hey, Ryan is probably going to tell you this but, this transfer is over that means that we get calls really soon, I mean like tomorrow. We get the call to see who stays and who goes. So just in case don't send anything until I tell you next week. If you are going to send something. Life is full of things that aren't planned. Sometimes Your expectations are just totally changed. I loved Elder Wirthlin`s talk about "Come what may, and love it" that was such an amazing talk. Sometimes Things are not what they seem, but no matter what, we take it for what it is and love it. We have faith that things are going to get good no matter what.Man I love this work. I love this gospel and I love the chance I have to share it right now. I love you mom and I miss you so much. But, time will fly by as it has been these past 6 weeks. I will work hard everyday. And when I get off that plane you will not recognize your young man anymore. I love you and miss you. I will talk to you soon.
Love.
Your Son,

Dear Mom,
This week has just moved by so fast. I really can't believe how fast this week has moved by. This transfer is almost over. I am getting so old. So there is some really exciting news. We have two baptisms coming up this next two weeks. These two guys are guys me and my comp found our first transfer here and we have been working with for a few weeks and another we found this last week and he is getting baptized this coming Sunday. Way exciting things going on right now. There have been many miracles happening since we have gotten to this area. I am really excited about this work right now. We are working hard everyday, and we are seeing blessing from it. Two are coming into the fold of Christ. I am just so grateful to be here right now.
Right now we are doing email a little later, we are having a basketball activity right now. It is pretty fun. There was sad news today though, a ward that meets is the same building as us, the missionaries for that ward heard this morning that their bishop just had a heart attack and he passed away. Please remember the family in your prayers and the ward.
Things are really going great right now. I am so happy right now. I really have been seeing miracles lately and it is such an amazing blessing to be able to see those.
I haven't heard any of the news going on. So when you get the chance just email me. if you can or if you are still up that would be cool. I will check my mail later too.Well that is really everything for right now. I love you and miss you so much. I will talk to you and see you soon. Time is moving fast. Too fast.

We opened up a new area. yet, we are in an apartment with two other missionaries. They are in the area next to ours but they live in the same apartment. It is really fun. Our district leader who is in the apartment with those that live in the apartment with us is my old mtc companion. It is really fun. We are having a great time and really trying to work hard to get this new area moving along. It is really cool. I am really happy. So next week you will be calling me but i am not really sure at what time right now i am going to have to see when you guys are at church and stuff and hopefully things will work out with my comp and him calling his family. he is from California and his family is on the same time as Arizona. i will write another email telling about the times and everything. So things are going good here. just trying to work hard and everything.Oh some of the names that i wanted. hey something crazy the other day I met a member here that knows someone that was in my Japanese class back home. he was so excited. It was really strange. crazy how small this world is. Well, that is all for now. I will try to get more pics home i just haven't been taking too many lately. Well, that is really all i can think about right now. I love you mom and miss you so much. I can not wait to talk to you next week. I am so excited. But I am staying focused here. I love you.

lanes latest letter and pics!!! April 12, 2009
Dear Mom,
Man I just got all of your guys emails from when you were actually on the computer and I was like they might have been on the same time i was...weird!!!! I had like 10 emails and stuff I thought i was just really popular at first then I found out they were all the short messages that everyone sent that day. Well, I guess I am still popular everyone wanted to talk to me.So anyway, i got the easter Package. Thanks. We actually thought it was going to be for my comp who said his family sent him a package a while ago, but when I opened the door I saw my name written on it. I was really surprised, yet really excited. There was so much candy in it. And toys and stuff. I only have a year left now. And though it is exciting that I will be able to see you guys really soon, if I could I would stay for a little bit longer. I really honestly have fallen in love with this work. There is so much going on right now. So much is changing. I wish i could be here for all of it. It has been a really exciting time lately. I am really starting to understand things. I mean really starting to understand things a lot better than I did in the past. About the studying thing, make a study plan. That has helped me so much, and have those questions in your mind while you study. Just something you have been thinking about a lot lately. You will find that your study goes deeper and the desire to really study is there so much stronger. That is really the key is that desire. So why is gabe getting nervouse. She has done it before. There is something I loved about the Sunday evening session of general conference. They focused a lot on the temple. And the blessings that come from the temple. Now I not saying anything bad will happen, but if we just remember those blessings those covenants that we have made in the temple and that if we know we are doing the right things, we don`t need to be nervous about life or scared. We have a reassurance that everything that is is the Lord`s will. Don`t worry, Dont`t be nervous. Just have faith and that will just disappear. We didn`t watch any movies for easter. Well, that isn`t entirely true. We did watch Conference. I really loved this conference. So much was focused on the youth and the temple and making sure we are worthy to enter into the temple. I don`t even think I can choose a favorite talk. I really can`t wait to be able to go to the temple again. In less than a year. Yet, I am doing a wonderful work right now. trying to help others obtain that blessing. Well, I need to get to writing to others. I love you mom. I miss you so much. I can`t wait to talk to you. In less than a month. Pretty crazy.
Love you.

Man I just got all of your guys emails from when you were actually on the computer and I was like they might have been on the same time i was...weird!!!! I had like 10 emails and stuff I thought i was just really popular at first then I found out they were all the short messages that everyone sent that day. Well, I guess I am still popular everyone wanted to talk to me.So anyway, i got the easter Package. Thanks. We actually thought it was going to be for my comp who said his family sent him a package a while ago, but when I opened the door I saw my name written on it. I was really surprised, yet really excited. There was so much candy in it. And toys and stuff. I only have a year left now. And though it is exciting that I will be able to see you guys really soon, if I could I would stay for a little bit longer. I really honestly have fallen in love with this work. There is so much going on right now. So much is changing. I wish i could be here for all of it. It has been a really exciting time lately. I am really starting to understand things. I mean really starting to understand things a lot better than I did in the past. About the studying thing, make a study plan.
