Letter #75- "How this felt one year six months ago, I know. It´s easy to forget, I hope we don´t forget.‏

I´m falling into, memories of you. and things we used to do."

HELLO MY WONDERFUL FAMILY!!!!!! I love you all so much. I am so happy that I can email you all every week. It really is a blessing. it is awesome. This past week has been FANTASTIC!!! We had 3 baptisms so I am pretty happy. 


Zenilda and her daughter were baptized and then Cenita was baptized. It was super awesome!!! We worked hard at preparing them all. All I can say is I am amazed with the faith of these people. The Lord continues to prepare the humble in heart to hear the message of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. I feel very blessed to be apart of this "Marvelous work and wonder" that the Lord is bringing to the world. I hope you all are helping the missionaries back home and doing everything you can to move the work along in Arizona. This is the Lord´s work. 

We had the opportunity to talk to Cenita (who was baptized) she said that when we first passed by her house, she wanted us to leave so bad, but as we explained the restoration of the gospel to her, she realized that she had the same question that Joseph Smith had: "Which church was the church that she needed to follow." Then she felt the Spirit and that started changing everything. That night she prayed and asked God if this was the true church of Christ here on the earth, and that if it was, to heal her foot. As I talked about in my last email, the Lord healed her foot and more, he healed her all. When we met her, she didn´t seem happy, we always thought she was mad when we passed by. She said "That´s just how I appear, I´m not always mad." But after her baptism, she was glowing. I have seen a physical change. The gospel changes lives. It is amazing. This work is true.

I am just so excited for General Conference. I don´t know if I already told you this but President Cordon went to a mission president seminar a while ago, all the mission presidents in Brasil went. Elder D. Todd Christofferson was there and he testified that President Monson talks with Jesus Christ face to face every day. WOW. The man that received revelation directly from Jesus Christ will speak with us. He love us and He speaks to us through His prophets and Apostles. What a blessed people we are to live in the Dispensation of the Fullness of Times. I love this church, it is true. I love this work, it is moving forward. I love the Lord, He lives!!!!
Com Amor,
Elder Askins
