The work here in Moose Jaw is progressing! :)

In the last week we have an investigator named Cheryl, we had to move her baptismal date, because she had to sort some things out...but her baptism is going to be August 9th! We are so happy for her, that she is making this eternal decision that will bless her, and those around her for all eternity! I always thinking of 2 Nephi 31:17 whenever I think of someone going into the waters of baptism. Baptism is the gate in which we enter so that we can obtain Celestial glory. What an amazing ordinance we have on the earth today! I love this gospel so much, and it's truthfulness just rings loud within my ears!

Last night, well.. let me back up a little bit. So we were visiting a less active member, when she didn't let us in we headed back to our car to catch another appointment. While we were out there we received a prompting to come back and visit her neighbors house at another time... so back to last night we stopped by said house. There a wonderful woman named Tami answered the door. We were able to get to know her, and ask her if she'd be interesting in learning more about Christ's church. She politely declined, but I am so grateful that we were able to contact her, and that it was positive! You never know what comes from just telling somebody hello, or giving them a compliment.

Anyway I am so glad that yesterday was church! The Sacrament just gives me a spiritual boost every week, that I think we all need. 

A woman in the ward gave us some veggies, they're quite delicious. And I don't know what to add haha, but I hope that you all are having a great day, and you'll have a great week.

Oh I know, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TRUMAN, KARLA, GRANDMA RUSCH,& ELDER SIMONSEN,!!

And thank you all so much for all the help that you gave Rana for helping out for the quilt! I love you all so very much! I am so thankful!

Love Sister Ashley Tomkinson

p.s. I've been out for about 29 weeks. :)

Oh.. and I have less than a year left as of July 24. Like what the, where'd the time go?
