Week 4

Happy Birthday Mom!! I love you So so so so so so much!!! :):) (kissy face emoji) :)

This week has been amazing. We set two new baptismal dates which is great! I’m getting better and better at teaching by the spirit rather then just teaching the lessons. This has been the best month of my life in every aspect. I meet new people every day. I get to ride my bike and wheelie all around Florida. I get to bare my testimony, its awesome!! haha its so so so so hot though. It didn’t rain at all this week so it got up to like 118! I sweat like a mad dog down here!! haha if you saw me on the streets It’d look like I ran from Utah to Florida!  I miss and love you. but I love my mission more right now;)

Thank you for the packages! Can you send me that apple portable keyboard cuz i can use that for my ipad when I get it next week to type with which would be nice. Dad asked about the UCF game and I think you guys should come down. We probably won’t be able to go and I should be here in Clermont for a couple transfers so I wont really be to close. Its about 45 min away so I think you should be fine.

Love you a ton!

Zone Conference with the Leesburg Zone

Week 3

My P Days are on Monday but we had zone conference yesterday so it got switched to Tuesday for this week. I'm so happy to be here! I have already seen so many miracles right before my eyes! My companion is awesome. He's from Idaho and has been out for 14 months so he's training me well! He sticks to the rules exactly which i like a lot. When i got to our little house we live in it was a mess. But after a couple nights of cleaning its now spotless :) My very first lesson the day i got here was with a guy named C. Right when we got in he told us we had to watch a part of this south park episode with him that he saw to explain what was true and what wasn't. Haha it was hilarious that my first lesson i got to watch some south park!! haha everyone we teach is pretty much Black! I love it!  My bike is awesome! We have our own car but i was getting depressed the first couple days so i asked if we could just bike everywhere and its helped a ton! I love it here! It rains just about everyday and the lightning is awesome! Its really hot but for some reason i dont feel it a ton while riding my bike and stuff. I guess since my mind is so far off how hot it is and on our investigators it helps me not realize that I'm dripping sweat and my shirt is soaked! haha man i love it! I think about you guys a lot but i know you're all proud of me and would rather have me out here right now. I can feel your prayers so keep them coming! I love you so much! Tell the triplets and Steven i miss and love them and good luck with all the sports going on! Talk to you Monday.

Letter to Danny his first week in Florida:

This first week has been amazing tho! Sooo many miracles are happening right before my eyes its awesome! My first official investigators name is D. I don't think itd be a coincidence if the first person i baptize is someone with the same name as my Father. We bike tract a lot which i like. Ive had some of the longest wheelies of my life here on my new bike! haha the kids on the streets love it. My trainer is awesome! Super hard working and an ultra ultra rule keeper which is perfect. We had zone conference yesterday and one of the members of the 70 came to speak with us. He was amazing! He told us how in the very first lesson we have to state our purpose. We have to give these investigators hope cuz without hope they wont have faith. They need to know that this gospel is the only thing that can truly change there life. The ward is really nice and cool. lots of young and old people. One guy in our ward was a professional wake boarder and now is a journalist for wake board magazine! His name is Brandon Judd. Look him up and let me know if he has any sweet videos of him on you tube or something. Everyday goes by really fast here. Its kinda weird. im one week away from being out a month which is cool! I love you dad so much. I think about you everyday and just say to myself "Im sure my dads really proud that im out here" You have taught me so much and i will forever be grateful for that. Every lesson i teach i can hear you there with me. I find myself saying a lot of the same things i think you would say. My testimony came from your testimony

Love you Dad

Week 2

Hey i dont have much time to write but i just wanted to say how much i love and miss you!!! All your packages and letters have helped me so much!! I haven't been homesick since. I don't even really think about you guys at all ;) haha mom youre the best and I hope you know that. All you do for me ill never be able to repay you for. Thats why i have dad to pay for that kind of stuff. Tell him to give you $5,000 to go buy anything you want at Nordstrom. You deserve it!! I love the MTC so much. Me and Cole hangout during every meal and just talk about all the fun times we had and stuff. I got to give a kid a blessing who was really sick and for some reason the spirit prompted me to tell him that he would be ok by morning. And guess what, he wasnt..... haha jk he was!!! It was awesome!!! I have felt all your prayers throughout this week so much. Keep them coming, they've helped me more then you and i think. I miss you a lot Mom, you are so great. I love you so so so so so so so much and thank you for all the support!!

Love Elder Ashworth

Week 1

I love you so much! I miss you guys a lot and think about  you guys every day. But I know that what I am doing is the right thing! We taught our first lesson to a practice investigator and it was awesome! I felt the spirit so strong and it was awesome being able to bare my testimony to him. My companion is awesome. We get along really well which is good. I see Cole Johnson almost every day which really helps me. Its gone by super fast yet super slow at the same time haha. I hear after Sunday everything really starts to fly by and i'm looking forward to that! Miss you a lot and i love you so much! keep me in your prayers and keep sending as many letters and packages as you want!!! I love them so much and they always make my day!!! So i'm serious send AS MUCH AS YOU WANT!!
