Hi Mom, Dad,
friends and family,
I’m sorry that my emails have been really
short lately. (Can I just say my toes are like popsicles!) Last night it was
storming really badly. We thought there was a tornado! The lightning and
thunder were non-stop. The wind blew so hard, and was so loud we thought our
apartment was going to blow away. Then, the very next day you wouldn’t even believe how hot and humid it
was. It is so green here too! I really
want us to be able to come back here and visit. I love my mission. Sister
Coleman and I are such great friends.
Please keep us, and our area in your prayers. We need new people to
teach!

Bad news, I
still have hives. DANG IT! But……the good
news is, they are almost gone!
Today on our P-Day we had a
nerf gun war with our whole Zone and guess what? I napped before the nerf Zone war and I think
it worked, because I won!! I think the
nap helped! Lol!
I’ve got to run we are busy tonight;
we are going to teach a less active lady that was a "lost sheep.” I will
let you know next week how it goes.
So fun to
hear you are having a “Young” family FHE at the Spruces tonight. FHE is so important! Tell everyone hi and that
I love them! Tell Allie I will reply to her great card soon! (I need their
address) Her card made my day!
I just want
to say I love you all. I love being a missionary and I love the Savior. I know
because He Lives that we too can live again. Thank you for your support! I'll try to email later but probably won't
have time. I love you both. Have fun, be safe, and work hard. Please give
everyone my love. I miss my kiddos today!
I love you
to the “Moonisota” and back!

President Forbes counseled me to pray for specific things and to do the small and simple things; then I would see miracles. I tried it... and it WORKED! I had a lot of faith in the words that he shared with me. Sister Coleman and I are finally seeing things turn around here! I felt like we got a little lazy at the beginning of this transfer. There was no excuse for it. I am so grateful for Christ's never-failing atonement. I know that I have seen a huge change in myself, my companion, and my area this past week as I have strived to be exactly obedient.
This week I have been
praying that we would find some new people to teach the gospel to. I
specifically prayed one day that someone who was prepared would come up to us. I thought that was kind of silly for me to say,
but the Spirit prompted me to say it. Yesterday at church as we were greeting
folks, a woman ran up to us saying "Sisters, there is a woman here who
wants to meet you and she is an investigator!" We were so thrilled! We ran
right over to meet this young woman. It turns out that she just moved here to
Minnesota from Arizona to change her life. She was meeting with some
missionaries down in AZ and couldn't wait to find a chapel here in Minneapolis!
She explained to us how much she loved the LDS church and the feeling she gets
whenever she is at church or with the missionaries! It was amazing to talk to
her about the sacrament. She feels the Spirit so strongly when she partakes of
the sacrament and wants to receive all the blessings that she can from that.
She loves the Book of Mormon! I have never met an investigator who loves it
this much! She said that she was being friendly to people downtown and they
just gave her nasty looks. She pulled out her Book of Mormon and started
reading in Jacob. When she did, she felt comforted. Then she noticed that she
also had compassion for the people being rude. I can honestly say that this
young woman is truly an answer to my prayers. I know the Lord has prepared her
and lead her to us. I am so excited to see the light in her eyes grow even more
as she continues her journey with Jesus Christ.
I hope all is well with you!
I hope all is well with you!
Love,
Sister Ashlee Young

July 8, 2015 "Take me out to the Ball Game.... P-Day and the Minnesota Twins game!!
July 8, 2015:

| "President & Sister Forbes, Sister Coleman & me" |
Today we went to the
Minnesota Twins game! We had the Minnetonka Sisters ride with us, since the
stadium is in our area. We couldn't find parking anywhere! We were getting so frustrated!
We said a prayer and I pulled up to a place for $25 parking! Heavenly Father
answers all of our prayers when we have faith! President bought all the
missionaries within an hour away of the field tickets! The Twins played the
Baltimore's Orioles....and guess what; the Twins won! It was really cool to be
at Target Field stadium. It was so big! The Twins were also promoting
#votedozier for the American League All Stars, so that was cool. They had 2
home runs in a row and the stadium went crazy! It was so funny to see all of us
missionaries in a section...especially the Elders with their white shirts and
ties! I am pretty sure you could see all of us a mile away! I think everyone
got sunburned... luckily it turned into a tan for me:) It was super fun to see
some of my MTC buddies, Elder Lowe & Oliver! Elder Ford was also there even
though he is out of our area; since he was on exchanges with the AP's! After
the game we talked about how Aunt Sue knows his Aunt and they both emailed us!
Funny how small the world is! We took a pic together to send to our Aunties!
After the game we took a ton of fun pictures! When we got home we went to the
Clements for dinner! They recently moved into the ward. We had dinner with them
a couple of weeks ago. They just moved here from Colorado. They have a 1 year
old baby girl named Taryn. It is so fun because she really likes us! After that
we set some goals in the car while driving. We saw Jenna sitting outside and
went to talk to her. It turns out that Elder Roberts and Chao, were coming over
to bless her home! They all asked if we would like to join them. It was a
really cool |
