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. I have so much to do still. I will work harder everyday.I love you. Miss you. Talk to you later. Love,

Dear Mom,
Well another week has just flown by so fast. I really cant believe how time is just flying by. I am really excited that i am going to be able to talk to everyone this next week. So guess what, i did transfer. i am now in a new area with a new comp oh and guess what he transferred here with me. Ya a new area for the both of us. 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. Talk to you later.
Love your son

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.

Dear Mother that I love so much and have missed emailing,
Well, I am back. I have finally come back to the convenient part of life. Well, what should tell you? A lot has been going on lately. We have been working so hard, and getting a lot of Books of Mormon out to people. it has been very exciting lately. We have talked to a lot of people and hopefully some of them will become investigators soon. Keep praying for me please. I still can`t believe how the time is just flying by. So high in the sky. Like a bird. I have less than a year now before I will be back home. That is a very scary thought. It is exciting, yet scary to think I do not have that much time left over. I am trying to do my best for this last year of my mission. I am just really excited because there is so much changing at this time. We are part of an amazing work here in Japan right now and I am just so glad I can be here for it. So ya, I don`t remember everything I have told you in letters, but I do have a new comp. He is Elder Hinton. He is still pretty much a bean. He has only been in Japan for about 2 months. So there is a lot of helping, well translating with the language for him. It is cool, and pretty dang hard. But, we are working well together and trying to get things done here in Sennan. It has been a great time so far. Well, I am really not sure what else I should tell you. I really missed emailing, but now I don`t really know what to say. Isn`t that funny. HAHA. Well, just know that i love you and miss you and that i am working hard. I can`t wait to hear from you.
Love, your son,
Elder Lane Ashmore
