I had a really awesome experience this last week. I had an assignment in writing class to do a personal profile. I had the opportunity of interviewing my home teacher Mike Miller. He shared the most amazing story with me, it was really inspiring to write this story for him. He was in the last months of his mission when he taught and baptized a young man in Mongolia. Three weeks after he was baptized this young man, who was a welder, forgot his mask and worked all day without it. He went blind from the light. Mike and his companion went to this mans house and asked him if he knew where the power of the priesthood came from. He said he did. Then Mike asked if he believed that, with enough faith, he would be able to see again. And he did. So Mike and his companion gave this young man a blessing. Mike wasn't expecting a miracle, he knew that if he saw again it would be over time and maybe not to the full capacity. But after a few minutes of sitting in silence this young man gasped and started to sob. He was able to see. I thought this was so cool. To hear about this young man, who had just learned about Jesus Christ, have enough faith in Him to be healed like that. It was moving. Other than that classes are the same old, same old. Well... I'm pretty sure Brother Harmon wants to kick me out of his class. Can you guess why??????? Yup... Too much talking. Which brings me to my next exciting piece of news.. A boy has a crush on your little obnoxious Ashley.. Amazing I know! I haven't found out what's wrong with him yet. It was so sweet... He bought me a bacon-cheeseburger. Now that's love. Carissa, my roommate, and I are decorating our apartment. Our walls are so bare it's horrible. So we decided to get some coloring books and paper and get creative. Grandma Murder would be proud. The use of color and shape is phenomenal.. Haha. Right?! Last night we had Family Home Evening. I gave a lesson on consequences. I got to make this sweet monster that convinced people to do bad things. It was pretty fun. Then we had epic battle of SPOONS!!!! Of course, I WON! I am in the ward choir and am singing this coming Sunday in sacrament... It should be really fun. My choir director Eli is a music major here. He has such an amazing voice and can arrange music like no other! I think I'm going to have him give me voice lessons..... Haha.. I know for most of you that will be funny... But I am NOT joking. My new friend Tessa is also teaching me how to play the piano. I am learning tons of new life skills! Yay for me! Well. I will actually try to be on time from now on with my posts. So hopefully I'll be able to get on this Sunday. Love you all so much!! I'll see you in April!!!
