Hey Ya'll!!!!!
Monday 4/27/15: Today was zone P-day.
We went to Eden Prairie to go bowling. It was really fun. After that we went to
a park and played some football, basketball, tennis etc.
We had dinner with a
nice lady in our ward who made some delicious fish tacos. She told us about her
life and some trials that she has had to face. We shared some scriptures with
her that hopefully helped her realize that God is in control, that he is aware
of her and he loves her very much.

Tuesday 4/28/15: Today was
insane! We went on exchanges with the Minnetonka Sisters. Sister Larson came
here to Mpls. We had to drive to Chanhassen to pick them up so it took a lot of
miles! (Their car was in the shop so they couldn't drive) Sister Larson is
super nice. She is 27, but doesn't look like it at all! It was fun to learn
some things from her. We went and saw a lady in our ward and her daughter. She is not a member and lives in Chicago. She
came to church and she had written down some questions she had. The Spirit was
so strong as we answered what had been going through her head. It all made sense to her. She expressed that
she would like to take the discussions here and back home in Chicago. So, we
have to call the missionaries in IL! Kinda cool!!!! We then had a lesson at
Annika's with Sarah. Annika's sister
Bergin asked if she could join us! It was such a cool experience! She answered all of our questions!!!!
Wednesday 4/29/15: Today we are going
to the Temple! I am so excited! I absolutely
love the temple! The Elders picked us up. So our whole district rode in the”
Vanimal.” The AP's drove. Elder Marshall
Henrie and I had a fun time chatting about peeps at Brighton. Then Elder King and
I had fun chatting about Perry Taylor! We went to the temple and had a great
time. I liked being reunited with Sister
Hunt and Zimmerman; I missed them.
While at the temple this week I was so
grateful to have that time to receive personal revelation from my Heavenly
Father. He has so much in store for me if I am faithful and work hard on my
mission to help his children come closer to him. I received some answers
to questions I have had while I was there. I went through for a lady named Minnie!
I thought that was so fun! I love how thin the veil is when we go to the house
of the Lord. After the session, we went to Sister Bennett's for dinner.
After, we had a lesson with “Mom” and Auntie. We talked about Alma 32! After that we got a
text saying we needed to get home because there are riots in Minneapolis! It said if we can't get home safely to drive
to the Mission Home. Don't worry Mom, we got home just fine and locked the
door:)
Thursday 4/30/15: We had an awesome
lesson with Hope this morning on temples….. Shocker! We are on a temple "high". We then
went to District meeting. We talked a lot about studies and light. We watched
Elder Bednard's Patterns of Light videos I invite you all to watch them. He
shows us a different perspective on light. We had lunch at the famous
Minnesotan “Raising Cane's”. It has good chicken. We then taught Shania about
the Prophets. Speaking of that, Mom some people want to see the Brigham Young
couch... could you send me a picture?
Friday 5/1/2015: I have been out 7
MONTHS!!!! How did that happen??? Today we had a lesson with Summer. We
felt prompted to share Elder Bednar's “Patterns of Light” videos. We next had
to go to Physical Therapy for Sister Zimmerman’s knee. When she was doing that
a guy asked us if we were missionaries.
We said yes, and long story short he wants to know more about the Book
of Mormon! It was such an amazing experience to see how Heavenly Father really
prepares people to meet us, so they can come closer to him. We then had a
lesson with Rachelle, which was so awesome! She asked so many questions and we were able
to answer all of them and relate them back to her Native American ancestry. She
loved it! We then went and had a lesson with Desirae and her munchkins.

Saturday, May 2, 2015: This morning my
hair has been driving me crazy! It is so itchy! I asked the Sisters to look at
my hair. Guess what we found.....Head LICE!!!! EEEWWWWWW! All three of us have
them!!!! I started having a panic attack! It is so gross….. seriously, first bed
bugs, now lice! You have got to be kidding me! We called Elder Graff and then immediately
went to the store to buy the Nix medicated lice treatment! We spent all day
shampooing our hair and picking out lice and eggs! The whole mission pretty
much knows about it too; it's really bad! We had to clean our apartment by taking
all of our clothes and bedding to be washed. Then we set off a “bug bomb” in
our apartment. We left to go to the
mission home to sit in the back yard and pick bugs out of our hair!!!!!
Honestly, it is just so nasty. So, on our way there, in the middle of the road
I had to stop because I saw a turtle crossing.JPG) |

Sunday May 3, 2015: So, we heard that
hair dye also helps kill lice. So we
bought some yesterday and all dyed our hair today. Sister Hunt's hair color is the only one that
looks different. We had Stake Conference with Elder Spackman of Seventy! He
shared some really cool experiences! We did some stop byes today after
conference. Nothing too exciting
happened.
And May the 4th be with you:)
Moral of this week: Go to the temple, Don't get head lice, Read Alma 32, Watch Elder Bednar's “Patterns
of Light” video, and last but not least…..Save turtles. (Link at bottom of blog post)
Love you all to the Moonisota and Back!
Sister Ashlee Young
