I love being a missionary! I love being able to leave an impression on people's lives! And seeing the impression that they have made on my life! I will NEVER be the same person I left as! NEVER! I have been called to leave my nest and feed His sheep! That is my calling for the rest of my life! I LOVE it! This week I had many opportunities to share my testimony seeing I'm leaving soon. I have never liked sharing my testimony before, mainly because I never felt like I had one. But now I can stand straight and say firmly that I KNOW that Jesus is the Christ my Redeemer and that He lives! Because He lives we can too! Being a missionary has taught me more fully our Divine Potential, that we are ALL Gods' children! That fact has helped me see others the way Christ would see them. Adding to that being called as a Sister Training Leader to help these wonderful sisters out here who have really become my sisters has opened my heart up immensely! I felt the love of Christ before my mission with a friend's mom and now I can say that I feel that every day as I look at these wonderful Sisters and Elders who have changed my life with their examples and love and treating me like their sister! I will always be blessed with these memories and many more experiences as I live my life as a disciple of Christ! And ya'll can do the same! Go to and serve the Lord!</div>

This week has definitely pushed my emotional strength to the fullest and then expanded it through the Atonement of my Savor Jesus Christ! Going home has never seemed as real to me as it has this last week. Sister Francies is such a strength to me, She has taught me so much about my relationship with God. After we took her to the ER last week Sister Winder suggested that she go and see a specialist for her migraines. I went on exchanges with her where we stayed home all day while Sister Dale got out of the house. During that time Sister Winder brought something very real and hard to the table, the possibility of going home... later that day it was concrete. She prayed a ton that day before we went to get a blessing of guidance and in that blessing it talked about aligning her will to God's, forgetting what she wanted and doing what He wanted her to do. On Thursday night we packed her up and dropped her off into the care of President and Sister Winder. That night I felt the true impact of my mission! How much I have changed and how much I NEVER want to go back to old Ashley.....I will forever be Sister Clawson in my heart! And I am proud to have that name and be able to live up to my heritage!<br />
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1438628423731_36806">
Being in the YSA ward is very interesting. They did Hungry Hungry Hippos for Family Home Evening it seemed like a blast! I will have to say I've never seen a testimony meeting without any silence at the pulpit! It was just an amazing meeting with everyone testifying of Jesus Christ. The Bishop's daughter shared in Moroni 7:26 if you read it it says 'And as surely as Christ liveth' and then jump over to the next column in verse 31 'bear testimony of Him. If we know that He lives why not share it with ALL the world!' Everyone! That is what I love about being a missionary! 24/7 telling people He lives! and knows them!</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1438628423731_36813">
So a pretty cool thing happened! We were given a referral by a lady in the ward and it turned out to be Peggy Snell. Now this is why its sooo cool, she was in the Park Center ward for a few months and me and Sister Dale were trying to get a hold of her and she just moved into my ward! I love how God works! Soooo cool! We are working with her to get names for her family members who have passed to take her to the temple! So excited!</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1438628423731_36800">
I LOVE this work SO much! I don't have to wish to be a missionary my whole life I will ALWAYS be a missionary no matter what! I can't forget all my family members who still havn't come unto Christ! I love you all so much and can't wait to see ya'll in 19 days! Wow! Just did the math! CRAZY! </div>

The Transfer Meeting was great I LOVE Sister Pahulu! We have served around each other before so this will be a blast! SO our area now has Elders in it and so after the training meeting that the trainers for new missionaries had, I updated Elder Methvin about our area then went to give him the phone and I couldn't find it......I looked everywhere! Then Elder Hodgkin came into my mind about if I didn't have my head screwed on tight I would loose it...sooo true! We found it later on that day in Sister Pahulus bag! I just laughed!!!!!! What a crazy day! We live with the Torrels! They are such sweet people! She has taken on the mom role for us! She has put food for us in our fridge and made breakfast and even got me some honey and lemon water for my throat and watched me gulp it down and then tell me I was suppose to sip it! hahaha too funny!<br />
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1437415205944_13112">
Tuesday was a big service day! We pulled weeds, for a less active member that is on his was back into activity, with the Elders. Elder Bowman is one of my Zone Leaders and we got talking about marching band, he's a trumpet. I love being able to talk to people about band of any sort! Then we get a call from some of the sisters we are stewards over and they had just moved into the Elders old apartment and, not to my surprise, because I've been in the old elder's apartment it was super messy and gross. So we spent 3 hours over there cleaning up and moving the sisters in. I'm proud to say this is my first time putting in the wrong type of soap! Needless to say there were many bubbles coming out of the machine! And yes I took a picture! hahaha We took them out to lunch at McDonalds and I found someone who loves the minions more than me! Sister Rabello! Later that night we did Visit nights with the YSA ward and I met Bishop Vean Damerwe and our Ward mission Leader Forrester. It was really funny we had no idea where any of the streets were and Forrester "dropped" his phone into our car to use as a GPS and then it locked and so we drove in front of his car before he left and he gave us his code! hahaha I learned how to use a GPS on an Iphone! hahaha things you learn on a mission! hahaha This YSA ward is the biggest! It goes from Star all the way to Garden City and includes Meridian Eagle and Boise!</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1437415205944_13141">
I had a new leadership training for my new STL thing....it went really good! Elder Cortes came out with me and is now the New Assistant to the President and he is just amazing! He went straight from District leader, skipped being a zone leader, all the way to an AP! As a Sister Training Leader we are stewards and servants for 5 sets of sisters. We do a lot of counseling and helping them learn how to fix their problems and get along. </div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1437415205944_13129">
Now to talk about the Title of this letter! I see my family all gathered around this big table in the Celestial Kingdom and my greatest desire of all is to have no empty chairs! I want all the members of my family to know how special they are to me an how much I am praying for them to be there with me enjoying the company of our Heavenly Father! I will do ANYTHING for ya'll to ensure that there are NO empty chairs!!!! You are my best friends and I can't wait to see you again and enjoy our life together as one big happy family! I know for a fact that is what Heavenly Father wants the most for us too!</div>

<br style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Congratulations on your call to serve as a Sister Training Leader in the Idaho Boise Mission. Your faithfulness and contribution as a missionary has been exemplary and this calling is a further expression of the Lord's trust and confidence in you to bless, lead, and strengthen those to whom you have been called to serve.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">As a Sister Training Leader, you must continue to be exemplary in every area of missionary service. You must show absolute loyalty to the Lord and to your mission leaders. You must continue to keep all mission rules and encourage the same from all of those within your stewardship. You must work hand in hand with local leaders to develop trust and confidence.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">As a Sister Training Leader, you are responsible for the training and welfare of the sisters that are assigned to you.

I trust and depend on you to move this great work of "gathering" forward. Together, I know we can perform miracles for the Lord! Congratulations, once again, on this high and holy calling in the mission. May the Lord bless you always.</span><br />

I love new adventures in life! Me and Sister Dale were both transferred out of the Park Center and Liberty wards. It was not what we expected at all! It's definitely a huge surprise! She will be in the Meridian East Stake, my first stake I served in on my mission. The Cloverdale ward now has Elders tho... and I will be in Meridian North stake and we will both be in the Meridian North zone, my first zone! Super exciting! Plus I will be her sister training leader! It's like a sister Zone leader. ha! I am now serving over a YSA ward and an STL, the two things I never wanted to do in my mission! hahaha but I'm excited for this new experience and challenge! It's going to be rad! I have a Tongan companion from Cali! Sister Pahulu! Out of my 7 companions, four have been from Cali! hahaha We also have a family ward we cover!</div>

Angelica is getting baptized this Saturday, the 18th of July! AND Logan is hitting his year mark of being a member on the 19th! What a great month!</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1436826024897_2868" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Jackie and Natalie are doing great! They are both sooo ready to be baptized they just need to realize it now! We were able to teach them the Plan of Salvation and Gospel of Jesus Christ this week! They said that things are finally coming together and making sense!</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1436826024897_2869" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
On Thursday we went as a district to Sonic for half priced cones because I'm a tad addicted to ice cream! hahaha While we were waiting for others to order, Elder Hann sees a Less active member that they are working with and her son and their dog walking and he told us that he was going to go buy them ice cream cones. So he goes over there, such a sweet kid!, and the next thing I notice the lady is booking it after her dog and the elders are right behind her. Her son is just standing in the parking lot..so me and Sister Smith get up at the same time and I give him my ice cream cone and she takes him to sit with her. Me and Sister Dale take the leash and start after them as well. We had no luck finding the dog or the elders so we head back to sonic and get in our car with the other sisters to go out to search for this dog. It could be anywhere! All of a sudden I think of the experience Sister Dale shared about praying with Tate and Tegge Boren about her dog being missing and so I ask Sister Smith to give a prayer and within the next 30 mins, the elders find that dumb dog! hahaha</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1436826024897_2869" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
It has been really hard to say bye to Elder Hann and Elder Taylor because they have become family to me, like my little brothers! I love these relationships I have been able to make on my mission! and I love having the chance to create new ones in different areas!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
I love this work soo much and can't wait to meet and help the people I was sent here to meet and help! I love you all and wish ya'll could feel the love I have for these people here and have similar experiences!</div>

Oh, my I forgot this epic story! SO! we get a call from Carl, a recent convert, and he tells us that his tire blew so we call a ton of people and I finally decide to just ask the lady we live with and she sent us over to her neighbor and he had the supplies so we went and helped him change his tire on the side of the freeway! I'm so glad I know how to do things like this and to take care of myself! I miss having black hands!</div>

We were talking about spirit blockers and Elder Hann used the gloves to signify things that would block ourselves from feeling and hearing the spirit. and then had sister dale play the piano and see if we could all hear it and understand what it is. it was a great object lesson</div>

Happy Independence day!!! I LOVE the 4th of July! Not because of the fireworks, we got to see some from our bedroom window behind a tree. Or the parades, that we went and cleaned up for a service project with our district and I had to pick up the dead bird. But it's because of these inspired men that traveled over the ocean and risked everything for religious freedom that we may worship how ever we want. This great event paved the way for Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ to Restore the Gospel back onto the earth! And THAT my friends is the greatest blessing that we have received since the Atonement of Christ was made! How right would it be every 4th of July to watch the Restoration video?! :D!<br />
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1436208556814_3346">
I have learned that humanitarian work is one of my FAVORITE things to be apart of! If you haven't signed up on <a href="http://justserve.org/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">justserve.org</a> go now!!!.....have you signed up......stop reading.....go do it......it only take a couple of minutes......good job! You did it! And for those of you that didn't I'm still waiting!.... We have the opportunity every week to receive assignments of service opportunities to do all over the Treasure Valley, that's what they call the Boise valley! This week we were asked to help at a food drive for the homeless shelters. At firstIi was a tad uncomfortable with this but I have never seen so many people willing and determined to help people! We were only there for 3 hours and collected 2 carts full of food and about 70 to 80 cash donations! That is the person I want to be! To help when I can and even when money is super tight! </div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1436208556814_3347">
Wednesday was a great day! We helped move in a potential investigator into the Liberty ward! Liberty ward is finally progressing in the missionary world! hahaha She's super sweet! Then we got to go play Bingo again with the old folks. Sister Lawlis is this really sweet elderly lady who lost her husband about a year ago now and we try to see her every week! She is just the sweetest thing! Me and Sister Dale were talking about what happened when we went on exchanges for a day with the Sister Training Leaders and the sister that she was with would ring once then walk away. I told her that its good to take the time to let them answer the door before just giving up. So we rang, then knocked, then rang again and nothing but we took our time leaving and right as we stepped away from the door Sister Lawlis opens the door out of breath! She wanted so bad to talk with us! She was outside watering her flowers, so she didn't hear us the first 2 times but was so excited that we came over to see her! I love this principle of waiting and never giving up on people! Take Juanita for example, back in my last area! She had missionaries for 15 years in her home and she finally understood and was baptized all those years later! NEVER give up, just don't do it! </div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1436208556814_3351">
Natalie and Jackie are two new investigators! They are staying with their sister for the summer and going home in August. They have been going to church here and their whole lives! Sister Brauns, who is their oldest sister, was baptized when she was 18 their age! These girls are so ready to take this next step in their lives! They have some very good questions about the Gospel and some concerns like modesty, which will vanish when they gain a testimony of the Gospel! We taught them about the Restoration last night and they both felt the spirit so strong and believe that Joseph Smith really did see God the Father and His Son Jesus Christ! Plus, they committed to pray about baptism! I love this age group! This is the time that young people have to decided how the rest of their life will unfold! Those who are experiencing this now the only advice I can give you is to pray earnestly for answers and then seek them, don't wait till they fall into your lap. When you wait you put a pause to revelation for your life and guidance through the Holly Ghost.</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1436208556814_3352">
We had a great lesson with Angelica this week! We planned a baptismal interview with her for this Saturday and next Saturday she will enter the waters of baptism! Shes so sweet! She wants to serve a mission too! Speaking of baptisms we had our last lesson with little Tate! They are headed down to Utah for the 4th of July and then she will also enter the waters of baptism on July 11th! Our last lesson was so special! You could feel the Spirit sooo strongly when we talked to both of the kiddos about staying strong in their faith and reading their scriptures and praying every night to gain a relationship with their Father in Heaven! </div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1436208556814_3361">
We took Neiva and Isemael to Sister Farnsworth's house to learn about family history and how to do it because I'm still not quite sure how to work the system.. ha! The Spirit was there! Sister Farnsworth was basically teaching Isemael the whole time and we got to talk with Neiva. They came to the point where they had to enter in their marriage date....they aren't married! That sparked a great conversation about marriage and when they would finally tie the knot! Sister Farnsworth makes wedding cakes and cupcakes for special events so I put a plug in theirs and told her that I'm done with my mission in August and I can come back up and help plan it and she liked that idea! Sorry Ma! Once a missionary ALWAYS a missionary! My work is NEVER finished! Neiva also brought up that Jojo really wants to be baptized so we are going to start all the lessons over and teach to his level and hopefully this will be the thing we needed in getting both of them to feel the spirit and understand the fullness of the Gospel and what Heavenly Father wants for them!</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1436208556814_3360">
Bob and Barb took us out to dinner again and he gave me a huge stuffed duckie!!! I love that man! He's is the sweetest and funniest guy ever! So we went to Chuck-o-rama again, this is what he calls the birthday place, and I got him good! I told his friend that works there that it was his birthday this time then I told Bob that I set it up so it was Barb's birthday and he went along with it! They started clapping and then they put it in front of him! He got sooo red! and through his head back and then told me that I got him! hahahahaha 1 for Sister Clawson! Wahoo!!!</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1436208556814_3359">
On the 4th we went downtown and did a downtown pick up service day. I learned that NO ONE can learn the truth when all they want to do is argue. If the Spirit is not there no one will learn! We were able to pass out a Book of Mormon to a homeless man and talk to him about Christ a bit. I love talking to people now! Dad! I understand now! Lets go talk to EVERYONE!!!!!!!! hahahaha </div>

I love you all so very much and want everyone to know that the prayers for Sister Taufa are working! That night she remembered Hula dancing and everything just clicked! She's a great dancer and taught for many years! That was the key to getting her memory of her family and home life back! Prayer is sooo powerful! It can help us find our lost keys and our not so safe safe spots and can help people heal from serious injuries! Our faith for healing can bring about great miracles like the ones that I have seen on my mission! love you all!!!!</div>

This question has been one I have been comtemplating over and over this week. Who is Sister Clawson? Now? past? Future? Who do I want my posterity to know me as.<br />
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1435704671972_14639">
We didn't see very many people this week but we were able to do a lot of service. We have a member that let her daughter, our recent convert, go with her dad to the east coast after he totalled her car and was charged with a DUI with her daughter in the car. So we had FHE up on table rock which was a blast, I got sunburnt, of course! It's that time of year again, and we were able to talk about the ups and downs of life. We shared the scripture Helamen 5:12 about planting your feet on the our Savior Jesus Christ. That scripture help both me and Sister Dale A LOT this week. </div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1435704671972_14632">
Boise is a remarkable place with all the service opportunities and all the charity work they do. I just LOVE it! We were able to help two days this week sort books that were donated from everywhere to clean up and hand out to other places that gave them to kids that don't have anything! I was so dirty the first day on the ground in big boxes sorting dirty books! I never knew books could be so dirty! But it was THE best feeling to just get out of yourself and do work for other people! The second day we went we were filling orders by putting books into boxes and labeling 500 books at a time to different organizations. They do sooo much for people! I never knew what one book that looks semi new could do for a kid that had nothing! I have found that situation a lot here on my mission that families have nothing! It's the hardest thing to watch and not have anything to help them out with! Except the Gosplel will do more for them then any monetary thing can do, I have seen it change the lives of people in the homeless shelters and given them that drive to do for others what others did for them. Its amazing!</div>
<div>
We were invited to teach the mission prep class this tuesday! I was able to see one of the kids from my first area whose ward met at the same building Cloverdale ward's did and he recieved his call to go to Mexico on his mission in a couple of months! We taught them how to teach the restoration and did a little role play. I have learned to love role plays on my mission, somtimes they are still a tad awkward! That's when you just embrace it tho! Right?! </div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1435704671972_14644">
We play Uno every week with a less active couple. They know the church is true but work and family keeps getting in the way, and Sister Dale is pretty good at Uno and has beat him every time we have played! hahaha It's great to see because every time he looses he swears revenge on her, in a playing manor! hahaha </div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1435704671972_14645">
I love the people in my wards. they have become some of my best friends for life! I know that this church brings people together in and through Christ! Now back to my original question that has been plaguing me. Who is Sister Clawson? Who will Ashley be in 8 weeks? </div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1435704671972_14657">
"We may plan things in life. <u>But have you planned your greatest work? Have you envisioned </u> <u> who you will become? </u> Do you plan for what kind of person you want to become? Can you see in your mind who you want to be? Do you know?" " you not only can change but you do change all of the time." " you are right now the sum total of what you have thought, said, seen, heard, and done. What you think, say, do, hear, and see, causes you to change; to change for good or evil, to become either stronger or weaker, to either internalize the qualities of light of the qualities of darkness. You are responsible for who you are and you are responsible for who you will become." </div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1435704671972_14656">

These quotes come out of a talk called the Fourth missionary, yes its for missionaries BUT these questions apply to ALL of us! We ALL need to ask ourselves these important questions of who are we and who we want to be and who we will become and HOW we will achieve these goals! I love you all and I ask that you keep Sister Taufa in your prayers! She is a sister from Tahiti that I live with and part of this crazy week involved her falling down the stairs, loosing all her memory including English, she speaks French. She has most of her English and mission memories back but home life is not there and its a struggle for all of us. I don't want any prayers for me, just her PLEASE! I love you all and you all mean soooo much to me!!!! I know that Heavenly Father will heal her through all of your prayers! </div>

So this all might not make ANY sense but I'm going to try to catch ya'll up on some awesome things that have happened out here on the mission! I appologize for being so short just had to deal with things but that's life right?! hahaha Here we go! :D!<br clear="all" /><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1435013354306_3216">
Updates on Neiva and Isemale and JoJo! They are FINALLY progressing! They have come to church twice now and are reading from the Book of Mormon! We had a great lesson on Faith with Neiva. We read out of Ether 12 and talked about how faith is our foundation in life. I like to say if we don't have faith, you have nothing! JoJo said the prayer with his dad's help, which was awesome! We taught Repentance this week on JoJo's level and talked about Baptism. They still don't understand the whole importance of the priesthood and baptism, but they do want to be baptized to follow what God wants them to do. They just need to gain a testimony of it for themselves first! She wants so bad to belong to a church and more importantly have a testimony KNOWING that the Gospel is true! </div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1435013354306_3217">
We are teaching a girl named Angelica and she is pretty awesome! She comes from a family who is not super active and all she knows is that she wants to be baptized! She said the prayer for her first lesson and it was beautiful! She thanked God for sending her Jesus Christ to help her with her life and take away her sins! She has come to church once and when she got there she said that the Holy Ghost talked to her and that July 18th is the day she will get baptized!!! <strong><u>Wahooo</u></strong>!!!! So exciting!!! </div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1435013354306_3228">
We have this sweet family who has been homeless for the last past year but have finally got an apartment to live in. The oldest daughter is 17. Her name is Erinn and we caught her at home and shared Ether 12 27 with her and it was exactly what she needed! She could apply it to herself in sooo many ways! I love experiences like that! It truly shows that our calling as missionaries is not one to take lightly! It is a serious responsibility and gift for us to help others with! </div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1435013354306_3200">
Rebecca is a lady we met while walking to see Sister Sabbah and she was just outside on her deck thing of her apartment. We have been visiting with her a lot lately. We had a really awesome discussion about Faith where we gave her Almas' definition of faith. The next week we came back and she said she had been thinking about it a lot over the past week and she asked us where we got our faith without using any scriptures! That was such an amazing question and it has been something we have been talking about a lot with people lately! I told her that Faith is a gift and I believe that some people have that gift from the start but some have to acquire that gift. For me I have always had faith! There is not a time in my life that it had hit me that oh, now I have faith! Yes, it has grown tremendously! But I have always had it! It's one of the spiritual gifts that I was born with! Then we shared Helaman 5 12 which strongly supported what she had told us about the last 4 months with four of her friends dieing suddenly! That scripture bolstered her faith sooo much! She loves having us over and is soo ready to learn just has to get done with her 4 majors! I know CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1435013354306_3218">
Brother Sexton is one of my favorite people right now! He is a RM from the great IBM (Idaho Boise MIssion) who has become less active and has realized it and is doing everything he can to come back to church! He has gone to church two times this month and who knows how long it has been! He hasn't come to our ward becuase of work but he goes! AND he is looking to take a pay cut so he can have his Sundays off and free to go to church!!!! His testimony has come back full force and he's headed for the sun!!!! [get the hint ;)] I love being able to watch someone's testimony be rekindled and see that moment when they receive that peace back into their lives again! </div>
<div>
We met with Mark Aims again this week and he quickly hid his beer can! His nephew also showed up with a friend and we were only there for like 10 mins more and his friend had downed 2 beers and one cig! I can't stand the sweet smell of beer! Its an awful sweetness, not good at all! He still had that testimony of Jesus Christ being his Savior which is sooo good!</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1435013354306_3209">
Mary, one of our investigators, finally picked a baptismal date as a goal for her to quit smoking...its not going too well tho...so all the prayers for her would be great!</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1435013354306_3227">
Less spiritual here, I had some cavities that had to be fixed so Brother Brown did them for me right before district meeting so I couldn't talk, how fun right?! haha District meeting was great! So yes here I go becoming like my mom!!!! My district leader is sooo awesome and I have decided he will be my brother in law! :D!!!!!!!!!! hahaha I LOVE to tease people and when I talk about that, his face gets all red its super cute!!!! I can say that cuz he is younger then me! Even though I'm a missionary I am still Ash! hahaha</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1435013354306_3223">
So those pictures that I sent last week were of 'Paint the Town Boise!' So Boise is awesome! They have every summer great projects where they pay for paint for volunteers like ourselves to paint folks home that can't do it themselves! Brother Woodland is in charge of helping get the Justserve.org kicked off in Boise and man is it going great! We had a blast painting! I would have to say I'm pretty pro at it with painting ours a thousand times and driving 2 hours south just to paint Aunt Debbie's house! hahaha BUT I ALWAYS get paint on me! It's just how I roll! hahaha</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1435013354306_3208">
So as I said we got moved out of our apartment due to the Elders house getting sold and moved into live with the sisters. That house is also on the market so we have people come down and tour our living area on occation! Its very interesting! I remember a talk that was given, don't remember by who, but it was talking about how the missionaries couldn't go out of their apartments because of crazy country things so the people would come to them for the lessons. So when the first couple came down to look at the basement apartment I had to control myself from laughing and then inviting them to sit down so we could teach them about the Restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ! That would be soo nice tho! hahaha </div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1435013354306_3202">
We have had a ton of service projects! We moved in a sweet elderly lady which took a whole 15 mins because she had nothing! Then we moved someone into Liberty ward! Yay!!!! And her sister is LDS! So a possibility there!!!! <strong><u>wahoo</u></strong>!!! That ward needs somthing! Four Elders came and helped out and a couple men from the ward! We had such a blast! I love these Men I serve with! Yes, they can be boys but they wear the title of Elder very well when it really counts the most! </div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1435013354306_3201">
Well I will have to catch up more next week! I love you all so much! and I LOVE what they say about missions, that the greatest convert on your mission is yourself and man can I attest to that! Sorry David! I'll have pictures next time!!!! :)</div>

We play ultimate football a lot and I've always been pretty proud (in a good way) of my throwing abilities! I made a couple catches to win the game! I LOVE football! One of the funniest things is when missionaries get together and you can see who they really are past the name tag! I have made some of the greatest friends out here on the mission!<br />
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1434400748621_8174">
It was bout 8:30pm and we were driving down Rossi going to see Sister Stidmon and we see Mark Aims sitting out on his porch smoking and has a can of something (turned out to be beer) sitting right next to him. We were pretty sure it was him but hadn't met him yet so we go to Sister Stidmons to set up an appointment but instead talk for a bit and turns out that she is going to go to church with a friend up in Garden Valley this week! Such a step for her! She's coming back! The whole time I was praying that Mark would still be outside and when we parked the car he was still sitting right where we saw him! It was pretty awkward at first he said that he was very embraced and then proceeded to put down the cig and tell us about his mission to Italy! Things like this turn out to be very good experiences for people to help them realize that what they are doing is wrong and they know it and help them rekindle their faith! He committed to start reading from the Book of Mormon again! </div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1434400748621_8179">
We had a great lesson with Neiva and Isemale about having faith to get out of their comfort zone and try what we have been teaching them. It's from one of the articles in the Ensign for this month titled Faith to leave the harbor, go read it is great! They came to church for all 3 hours and really enjoyed it! Things are starting to move forward with them! It's quite exciting!</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1434400748621_8180">
I'm running out of time so I will catch ya'll up next week! love you all soo much! -- <br />

Monday was a great night! We had a lesson with a less active family, the Borens, who have a daughter that just turned 8 but she has not been baptized yet. She wants to but the problem is that she has only been to church a handful of times so her parents asked us to teach her so she can be ready for baptism and understand things. The kids are so cute and ready to participate in everything concerning church but the parents are just fine without going....So thats kinda hard but the kids always have fantastic questions about the lessons. when we were teaching the Plan of Salvation. The boy asked what happens if you die without getting baptized and so we were able to teach about baptisms for the dead and he really liked it and wanted to do it! He will be 12 next year and I hope the parents will let him go to church and to do baptisms... We will see tho! Sister Pavalak is another Less active member that we are working with. She has been reading a bit here and there and is getting even closer and closer to coming back to church! She has decided that she just needs to set aside time just to read the Book of Mormon! Otherwise she won't ever get to it! Priorities as SOOOOO very important! </span><br />
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1433798726578_3772" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
We had a service auction for Relief Society and Sister Glover bought an hour of service (with fake money of coarse) and we had a BLAST! We cleaned out two of her daughter's rooms, who are now married and have been for a couple of years, closets and updated her grandkid's wall. We laughed soo hard and just had a blast doing it! While I was on the floor of the first closet it hit me that I was in some strange ladies basement that I have only known for 4 1/2 months....It's crazy what happens on a mission and how many people that you grow relationships with real fast! We went on splits with the ward missionaries that night and I went with Sister Powell and we saw quite a few people. We went to this one house that the lady pretended not to be home, although we heard her, and Sister Powell told me about when she was in Japan on her mission they had video cameras that would turn on a light to see who was outside and who the rang there door bell then just ignore them... Ha! People! </div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1433798726578_3768" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Wednesday we had SUCH a great lesson with Neiva! We talked about faith and what it means to her and how it is everything in our life! I like to say if we don't have faith we have nothing! She has a lot of friends of different religions and she loves to learn about them and experience them by going to church. She told us that every time she talks with her friends about their religious beliefs she always comes back to what we have taught her! There is a PULL!! My friends, that is the Holy Ghost testifying to her spirit that what we are teaching is true! She just hasn't connected the two quite yet, but its coming! We are so excited to see her and her family progressing! Sister Smith, the sick sister I was in the MTC with, is now in the district!!! We had lunch the other day at Costa Vita! yumm!!! I love being able to just have lunch with good friends! We volunteer at an assisted living care center and call out Bingo! It is really fun to go and have them remember your name! We also went to make paper flowers and there were some real flowers there that they get for the residence to have fun arranging them, like last week. We worked on the paper ones while some other ladies fused about not having knives to cut the flowers with....man these workers have sooo much patience....it's a good thing that I'm working on Charity this transfer :D! hahaha </div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
On Thursday we are suppose to do weekly planning where we plan for the week and for the lessons we will be teaching but,like always. we never get it done on Thursday. And this time we never even started! Right after we finished saying a prayer to start we got a call form Elder Sorensen. He is the housing coordinator for the mission, and he told us we had to move out and move into a basement apartment that some other sisters are living in. So we started packing and then went to a lesson with an investigator who said the most wonderful prayer and thanked her Heavenly Father for everything Jesus Christ has done for her! She really wants to be baptized but her parents don't make an effort to get her to church or themselves. Then back to packing and cleaning...I've learned I have turned into my mom, which isn't bad, but I couldn't leave that apartment to the Elders without cleaning it really good! So we spent most of our day doing that and moving into our tiny bedroom and bunk beds. I keep hitting my head on the Ceiling when I wake up in the mornings...plus the lady is trying to sell her house as well so we most likely will be moving again....Oh the life of a missionary! hahah LOVE IT!!!! </div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1433798726578_3839" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, "Lucida Grande", sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
So this week I got my travel itinerary, which I'll send a picture of next week! It really hasn't sunk in that I'll be leaving soon and I don't think it will till I get on that plane. During Zone meeting tho Elder Scott went around the room and "Released" us from our missions to prove a point that we only have this short time to serve and we need to understand our role and how important this time is. I had another Zone Leader do that about a year ago and this time it hit even harder and then I "released" him and we both just sat their with tears rolling down our faces. I will never forget this time of my life, that I have put so much of my heart out on the line for others and have really understood my purpose in life and what REALLY matters! Anyone and I mean ANYONE who is thinking even contemplating the idea of serving, whether young or old, just DO IT! You will NEVER regret it!!! And it will help you through the rest of your life, I promise! I love all of you and wish I could just pour out everything I feel in my heart but there aren't enough words or time to do so! I pray that my example will be able to help those I serve around and my family and extended family back at home! Like Elder Holland has said lean upon my testimony if yours is waving till you can find your feet planted firmly upon our Savior Jesus Christ! I love you all so much and can't wait to be reunited as a family and friends! Till then Stay strong and carry on!</div>

I think I might just have set a record! hahaha nah! So me and Sister Dale are staying together this transfer! We are super excited! There are soo many Less Active members that we are working with who are changing and coming back to church again! Sister Pecora has come twice now after not coming for the past 20 years! AND she has a desire to read the Book of Mormon! Its AMAZING!! The change I have been blessed to see in her! Linda also came to church again this week! It is the most exciting thing when people come to church that have never been to church or haven't been in a long time! We received some referrals this week for Less Active members that we didn't know lived in our ward boundary's and one that just moved in! Holly has lived by BSU for about 6 months now and she's been up and down with religion and guys. She was baptized back in 2001 but hasn't been coming for about 15 months, and her daughter is about 15 months...get the picture? I wish the culture of the church was different. If people make a mistake, which face it! We ALL do, we should be there to support them and love them through their trials, not make them outcasts! Now off of my soap box which I'm sure I'll jump back on in a bit! hahaha The other family who just moved in is the Larrson family. They are from Utah and they have moved here for a change and to start going back to church! He is a convert and she has been a member her whole life, just has gone down some undesirable paths. But the fact in it all is that they are making the change they sought out help and guidance!<br />
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1433181182818_6240">
We were able to do some good old hard work this week! I mowed the Andersons yard and then we raked all the leaves that were pretty solidly compressed on the ground because of the early snow fall this year! It was good to work hard again! Its been a while! Sister Dale told Brother Anderson who was worried that I would hurt myself "She's tougher then she looks!" hahaha </div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1433181182818_6235">
I love watching people grow and being able to help them build their faith on Jesus Christ! I have such a testimony about becoming like a little child, meek, submissive, humble...we are teaching an 8 year old whose parents aren't active whatsoever and she is so excited to be baptized and really wants to go to church and so does her brother. Next year he is able to get the Priesthood and go do baptisms for the dead and pass the sacrament but his parents wont take them to church so they can grow...This kiddo know what is right because the world isn't a distraction to them yet! I know its easier to say that i wont let the world be a distraction for me out here on my mission and I know it will be a challenge when i get home but i hope and pray that i can keep my eye single to the Lords and that i can focus on what really matters in this world! Yes its great to have things that can help us in this life like a car a house money food and even fun things that we can enjoy as a family but if the gospel is not our strong center in the gospel then all of those other things really don't matter! </div>

Who woulda Thunk? So yes! I do like giving talks now! Me and Sister Dale both gave a talk on Sunday and we had 4 investigators there! It went sooo well!!!!!

<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1432670641052_13247">
Joey would be soo proud of me! The Elders convinced me to play basketball with them and I made a 3 point shot!!!! Don't know where that one came from but it happened! Watch out, Joey! I might just be getting better then you! hahah I love being able to relax and play some sports with the missionaries here on P-days! Yesterday was super funny! We went on two bike rides about 10 miles each and the went ice skating as a district because it was one of the sisters last P-day. Turns out she can't ice skate....ha! I was in charge of helping her out! I followed her around once, holding her belt loop because if I didn't she fell! hahah and she had one of those little kid helps that you hold onto to teach you how to skate! haha It was a great day! </div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1432670641052_13259">
As I'm sure ya'll know by now that I got on the blue turf of the BSU football field! It was great! It looked like all the gates were locked then Sister Vranes calls to us and tells us to walk fast! hahaha! Maybe I'll be able to march on the blue! ;)! </div>

There is this new website JustServe.org and we are the first group of missionaries in the Idaho Boise Mission to start using this site for service oportunities. We went and cleaned out an Assistant living house garage! it was a really good thing that I was there or NOTHING would have gotten done! hahaha We were sweeping up the floor after we moved everything out and I had noticed a couple of mouse traps but the elder helping me sweep didn't know what it was so he picked it up. He asked me what it was then turned it slightly and I saw a tail and told him. He dropped it and freaked!!! hahahaha so gross yet soo funny!!! I love being able to get my hands dirty and help people out! </div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1432670641052_13251">
Speaking of getting my hands dirty, Ma knows that ! LOVE to paint! and I LOVE even more to get paint everywhere! I have quite a knack at that! We got to help paint the outside of the Meredeths house! It was super fun! We got down 30 mins before it poured! Thankfully, the wind blew before the rain and dryed all the paint! </div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1432670641052_13252">
We were able to take Rick to the temple to do a lesson on the grounds and take him into the waiting room to feel the spirit! It was really cool! He pulled us aside before we started talking and asked us if we could feel the spirit! He said that he's been coming to the grounds just to pray for about 5 years now! How cool huh?! Plus! There were 3 couples who just got sealed and I got to see wedding dresses! That's always a pluss! I know ma!!! hahahahahaha </div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1432670641052_13253">
Trasfers are this week and I have NO idea what is going to happen since I only have 2 transfers left....12 weeks.... I love my mission and the people that I have been able to help and those that have helped and strengthened my testimony! Boise, Idaho will always be my home away from home! But one thing i have learned on my mission is that my home is where my family is, NO matter where that is! I have such a strong testimony about the Plan of Salvation! Every time i teach it I think of how much I want my family to be together forever, even Joey, and it brings such warm feelings to my heart that words just can not explain! I love you all so much and pray for you!!!! Stay strong and carry on!</div>

Clearly your girls are spiritual their steaks caught the Spirit of God like a fire is burning...LOL! We went out for Argentinian food tonight and then they were off to teach a new investigator! Hope you Moms had a great Mother's Day, the ladies couldn't stop gushing about how great their Skype calls were.<br />

Don't tell the Elders but we just love having Sister missionaries in the ward, I think they even smell a little sweeter than the boys. ;)leesaloo2http://www.blogger.com/profile/08426071345946288729noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742404549627890693.post-44689880798699750992015-05-18T14:24:00.000-07:002015-05-18T14:24:16.841-07:00So many meetings!<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1431984041214_4307">
This week has been a very interesting week. We had two huge meetings, one was for the new missionaries and the other was our zone conference! They were both super good and we learned a TON! Missionary work itself went kinda slow but we were able to see quite a few people between all the meetings and service projects. We were asked to help at an elementary school festival with the fishing for prizes booth and man, little kids can swing pretty hard. We both got hit a couple of times!Then we learned to stand back! hahaha Not much to talk about this week but I'm sure I'll have more next week sorry! I love you all so much and hope that everyone is doing well! I do know that the church is true no matter what ANY body says! I know what I have felt and experienced and I can NOT deny it! I love you all!!!</div>

I gota say that this week was super hard because of the anticipation of seeing my family!!! AND it was SOOOO worth the wait! I love them soooo much and it was definitely that pick me up that I needed! </div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1431374188747_45575">
On Monday, we had a super fun time doing sports with the Zone! We were playing ultimate football and Sister Dale went to block me but couldn't stop so she ran straight into me and I had no chance I fell straight on my butt!! It was the FUNNIET thing ever! hahhaa only like a couple weeks into being companions and she is already tackling me!!! hahaha Then Sister Pahuloo ,a big Tongan Sister who is HALARIOUS, was trying to protect herself from Sister Dale and was telling her that they were on the same team and not to tackle her! hahaha much too funny! We went on a huge bike ride that night with Bruno and man along side the Boise river, there is a bike/walking trail that is called the green belt! It is so beautiful! Something I want to ride completely when I come back to visit! </div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1431374188747_45691">
One thing I have learned on my mission is when it's not someone's time to accept the Gospel, it's just not their time...We have a very nice family that we see cuz they wanted some questions answered and at first, they were very nice, then it turned into a bash the Mormons and make the New Sister cry....it's really hard because his daughter was promised in a blessing that her dad would join the church...hopefully, one day his heart will be softened...but that time is not now. During times like these I have to remind myself that EVERYONE is a child son or daughter of God!</div>
<div>
Exchanges=Miracles! We switched companions for the day and I got to be with Sister Maness!!! She is stinken awesome! We have served in the same district before but never together! Well that morning Tre emails/texts us and says that he wants to meet! So we plan it for that morning at 11 am! Some scary stuff happened at his place last week so we took him to the institute building and talked about Faith, Repentance, Baptism, receiving the Gift of the Holy Ghost, and Sacrament! Then he brought up something that made me sooo happy! He said that as soon as he has completely stopped smoking he said he will pray about a date to be baptized!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wahoo!!!!! We also received a referral that is super interested! His boss is LDS and they were already planning on inviting missionaries over..hence the referral! haha </div>
<div>
We had Zone meeting this week and we talked about how to introduce the Book of Mormon to people better by actually emphasizing the fact that it is another estimate of Jesus Christ! Something that a lot of people leave out for some reason! Something super cool is that the first time the Book of Mormon mentions Christ by this name is in 2 Nephi chapter 10! just a fun fact :) I started the Book of Mormon over again about a month ago and have been marking every time it refers to Christ and says his name and all and man my eyes have been open to how much it talks about Christ! I always knew that it was about Christ and His teachings but I never realized that it is ALL about Him!</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1431374188747_45672">
I love when dogs escape out of their house and don't listen to their owners....we chased the dog down and finally caught her and I was all muddy, which was perfectly fine with me. I didn't care but the member did and instead of telling us to come back, which he was about to do before the dog darted out of the house, he had us come in and we were able to talk with his wife! She is a member and we have been trying to get her to read the Book of Mormon and she told us she hasn't started yet but her desire is there she just has to sit down and do it now! haha When we were talking about her desire that she has she started to tear up and said its all because of me! She said that for some reason I was sent here to help her come back to the church and she doesn't know what she is going to do when I leave! It was such a sweet tender mercy from the Lord showing me that I am doing what He has sent me here to do and that I am touching peoples lives! She wants me to come back next summer and go float down the river with her since she has never gone! I love being a missionary!!!! </div>
<div>
Speaking of people coming back to the church we got to see Mike and get to know her a bit more! I think she wants to set me up with her son too! At first it was flattering when people would say that but now...not so much! haha</div>
<div>
Mothers day was great! Loved the primary children's songs and yes, I teared up and I had the funniest conversation with the kids that were sitting behind me. They are super rambunctious and this is how it went when their mom had to take their youngest brother out:</div>
<div>
me: Do you think you can pretend that your bottom is glued to the seat? </div>
<div>
boys: no</div>
<div>
boys: Do you think you can pretend your eyes are glued to the speaker?</div>
<div>
me: can you?</div>
<div>
Boys: no</div>
<div>
me: then no and shh!</div>
<div>
Boys: you can't make me shush, no one can!</div>
<div>
me: you want to bet? I can just come sit next to you ;) </div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1431374188747_45687">
boys: never!!!!</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1431374188747_45686">
hahaha, This boy has attitude but he's a sweetheart! I love little kids!!!!</div>
<div>
</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1431374188747_45680">
I got some super cool news during my Skype time! Justin, my friend from high school got baptized and invited me to come!!!! It was the coolest news ever! As I was thinking about that this morning I was looking back at my life and realized that I have had many missionary opportunities in the past but have never done anything about them or really realized it! I love what the Gospel can do for peoples lives! I have seen it first had transform peoples lives in ways they never expected!!! I know that Jesus Christ is MY Savior and he died for MY sins! I know I can't ever do anything that will repay what He has done for me but I will do EVERYTHING and ANYTHING to let Him know that I fully appreciate, even though I still don't fully understand everything that He has done for me! I love you all and pray for you! Stay strong and Safe and carry on!</div>

3. Oh, I totally forgot! This sister got home in July from her mission and is up for the weekend and ran into the AP's and asked if there were any sisters in the area and they gave her our number so she drove us around and we had a blast seeing people and talking and she took us to Sonic before we went home! I want to be like her! She called us up and said that she was bored so why not go out with the sisters! hahaha</div>

<em>Brother and Sister Clawson,</em><br />
<em>We are so grateful for your daughter serving here in Boise, Idaho. We wish she was still in the Summerset Ward, She is a beautiful girl with a bright testimony and an enthusiasm for life. She touched many lives while serving here and we are thankful to have felt of her light and love for the Savior. I have heard her testimony many times and especially was touched as she spoke on the Gift of the Holy Ghost at a baptism. I appreciated having Sister Clawson over to eat dinner and share lessons with my family in our home. She is so patient and would figure out a way to gear the lessons to my kids' level even when they are being very rambunctious. :) She is going to be such a good wife and mother someday. I also admire Sister Clawson's ability to reach the youth. She's always willing to love and invite and smile. We made a video for the your of all of us leaders and we wanted to involve the missionaries. I wasn't quite sure how to coordinate with all of the missionaries in our stake, so I called Sister Clawson and she set everything up and had the missionaries come in different groups to be filmed. She's someone you know you can rely on and will get a job done. The video turned out to be a lot of fun. Maybe I can get you a cop somehow. </em><br />

<em>We hope you have a wonderful Mother's Day! Thanks for sharing our daughter with us!</em><br />

<em>Dear Bro. and Sis Clawson,</em><br />
<em></em><br />
<em>We enjoyed having your daughter serve in our ward very much. She was always enthusiastic and cheerful. She loved her work and made things happen! She was attentive to the needs of our less active members and was vocal in making sure those needs were met. As a result, several families and individuals have become more involved and committed in the gospel.</em><br />
<em></em><br />
<em>We love having the missionaries to dinner, especially because our children are grown and we love interacting with younger people! She was always appreciative of our efforts and interested in our lives. Such a great talent! We did take her and her companion to an Ethiopian restaurant one night for dinner. Since we didn't feel well the next day, we are afraid that they didn't either. But they wouldn't admit it. Which just shows how lovely Sis Clawson (and her companion) are.</em><br />
<em></em><br />
<em>We missed her when she transferred, but we are sure thta she will do great work wherever she is sent on her mission - and in the future, as well.</em><br />
<em></em><br />
<em>Thanks for sharing her with us.</em><br />

<em>Dear Brother and Sister Clawson,</em><br />
<em>My name is Sherry Hatcher aka: crazy lady at Walmart, If she didn't tell you about me then she didn't do what she promised she would do. When my son was on his mission and even now, I would go up to all of the missionaries that I would see at Walmart and tell them that no missionary was safe since my son was on a mission. Then I would encourage them to write a detailed letter to their parents and to make sure they sent a picture of their cute little face. If their letter didn't include the crazy lady at Walmart it wasn't detailed enough. She loved to ask me how many missionaries I got that Monday.</em><br />
<em>We LOVED having Sister Clawson in our ward! She was a wonderful missionary. She loved to do service and there were several times she would rope me into it. We worked together in packing up a house that had a fire 4 days before Christmas. She loved to have me come with her and her companion when they taught discussions especially the chastity one and there were several discussions where she would love to harass me or embarrass me. If every you needed something done all you would have to do is ask and if it was too big of a job she would round up some Elders. I loved to have them over for dinner because she would rave about how good my cooking was even if it wasn't top notch that day. She especially loved coming over to my house when my newly returned missionary was home. (I think she had a crush on him, but was disappointed when he found a girlfriend right away!). Thanks for sharing her with us.</em><br />

<em>Sister Clawson,</em><br />
<em>We want to let you know how much we've come to love your daughter Ashley (Sis Clawson) as she has served in our ward as a missionary.</em><br />
<em>She has such a wonderful spirit and testimony which she has shared with us as she and her companion have visited in our home. We've felt as if she could be one of our granddaughters.</em><br />
<em>We will miss her as she has moved on to a new assignment.</em><br />
<em>Thank you for sending her into the mission field.</em><br />
<em>Her spirit reflects the love of good parents and especially her mother.</em><br />
<em>May the Lord bless you!</em><br />

<em>Dear Brother and Sister Clawson:</em><br />
<em>It was a delight to have your daughter serve in our ward. We had her in our home on a few occasions for dinner. Her bright personality lit up a room. I saw her help out a neighbor on our street to trim her overgrown willow tree. A very BIG project! She enlisted the help of the elders to get the job completed. It actually became a catalyst for that neighbor to take a little more interest in her yard.</em><br />
<em></em><br />
<em>Your lovely daughter also played the flute in our sacrament meeting at Christmas time! It was wonderful to have that sparkly touch at the holidays. She played well and nobody would know that there have even been a gap in time since she had played. She was also able to play flute in our ward conference in January., an obbligato for He Sent His Son! It was lovely and the stake presidency remarked on how well it all sounded... but I think the flute added a brilliant touch that enhanced the singing.</em><br />
<em></em><br />
<em>I'm sure you have missed her very much. We are appreciative of your faith in sharing your daughter with us up here in Boise, Idaho Summerset Ward. She's delightful and possesses a confident testimony that will continue to build up the Lord's kingdom throughout her life!</em><br />

<em>Dear Bro and Sis Clawson,</em><br />
<em>We love our sweet and amazing Sister Missionary (even though she was transferred) Sis. Clawson. We loved when she came into our home...She always brought the sunshine with her. And when she would teach us a gospel principle it was taught with humility and power. We have felt her testimony, her love, her joy for life, and her desire to share the gospel through love. She is a delight to be with and we do miss her.</em><br />
<em></em><br />
<em>We have watched her junior companion grow because of the example that Sis, Clawson set. She taught with love an kindness. She taught as the Savior taught.</em><br />
<em></em><br />
<em>Thank you for having enough faith and courage to send her on a mission. I know that she has touched man, many lives and has made our little area of the world a much better place.</em><br />
<em></em><br />
<em>We love and pray for her.</em><br />
<em>Happy Mother's Day.</em><br />

<em>For Sister Clawson's Mother:</em><br />
<em>One Sunday, a few months ago, one of the Sister missionaries spoke, just before she was to be transferred. She had been in our ward for quite a wile, so we had gotten accustomed to her spirit, and were sad to see her o, but happy for others who would get to know her.</em><br />
<em></em><br />
<em>I her talk, she shared part of a letter her mother had sent to encourage her on her mission. As a writer, I was impressed not only with her mother's skill, using parallel sturchture to make teachings memorable, bus also with the care and compassion with which she taught er missionary daughter of human nature, divine expectations, and choosing wisely.</em><br />
<em></em><br />
<em>Mothers have influence in the lives of their children in all stages of their lives and in every circumstance. The wisdom of her mother, and the care she felt for her daughter, were evident in the shared letter, as well as in the sister's work as a missionary in our area. I was pleased to discover that this sister missionary was recognized a stake and a city away from where she served. Other missionaries serving here knew her spirit and her work. I'm sure that if the 2000 strppling warriors had been young women, this sister missionary would have been one of them</em><br />

<em>Happy Mother's Day!</em><br />

<em>One evening Sister Clawson and her companion came by my home. I had my grandchildren, Brisa and Mitchell there on that Friday night.</em><br />
<em></em><br />
<em>Those sweet sister missionaries were so tender and good to us. They were fun and we taught a new card game that neither of them had played before.</em><br />
<em></em><br />
<em>Then they taught us great truths of Christ and shared scriptures and their testimonies. Brisa and Mitchell had an aunt on a mission and I know it was so good for them to see what their Aunt Deruse might have been doing on her mission.</em><br />

<em>I am thankful for the sacrifice and devotion of your dear daughter and my testimony was strengthened by her great service!</em><br />

<em>For Sister Clawson's mother,</em><br />
<em>I imagine that you are everything that a mother should be because the example of your daughter. I am sure that you are a big part of her becoming the beautiful young woman and missionary she is today. We have loved her in our ward. Unrelenting in her missionary work, service and compassion. She is a reflection of goodness!</em><br />
<em>We so enjoyed having her in our home for dinner and conversation. I am occasionally involved in feeding the missionaries during zone conference so I am able to observe most of the missionaries. She was the one sister that came to my aid. Without asking she was at my side cleaning up and helping in the kitchen when most of the others left. I love that she is so conscious about acts of service.</em><br />
<em>We enjoyed listening to her play her flute during our sacrament meetings. You can feel her testimony as she plays with great emotion and love for the instrument. This brought much joy to all of us during Christmas. Her music brought the spirit into the meeting with her gift and there was a feeling of reverence that permeated the room.</em><br />
<em>As I watched her, I can only hope that my girls and granddaughters will have the same kind of love and devotion of the Savior. Thank you for sharing her with us. I don't even know you but I love you because of your daughter.</em><br />

<em>Dear Sister Clawson,</em><br />
<em>Your daughter Ashley lived in y home for six months where I learned a lot from her. She is friendly and bold and her smile can melt the coldest hearts. I have lived in the Summerset ward over 30 years and in a few months she knew every inch and member of the ward much better that I did. She spoke often of how much she loved her mom and your chose relationship/ I'm sure you're proud of her as many more in the Boise, Idaho mission do and we love her too.</em><br />

<em>Sister Clawson's mother:</em><br />
<em>Happy Mother's Day! My name is Skye Root and I am currently the Bishop of he Summerset Ward where your daughter served for six months as an outstanding and committed missionary. You and your family should be very proud not only of her qualities as a missionary but her qualities as a person, a daughter of God who knows who she is. While she planted plenty of her own seeds her in the Summerset ward, she was also able to do substantial harvesting. We appreciate her efforts to effectively harvest, for it became our harvest. You no doubt raised her to be an effective teacher, communicator and "inviter" and those skills greatly blessed our ward. Her testimony is strong and her faith great. However, I think what makes her most effective is her genuine love for the people she teaches and serves. This outspoken love allows her to be bold without offending, a rare combo. You've raised a wonderful daughter who blessed my ward, my community, my family and me as she served here. We were sad to see her go. I would be very happy if she was one of my daughters and treated her as such while she was here. Thank you for loaning her to the Boise Mission, and specifically the Summerset war, for a season. She';; be home before you know it!</em><br />

Hi Sister Clawson & Sister Wellesley,</div>

I just had dinner (Thai food) with your fabulous missionaries. Got them all caught up on the latest gospel-gossip ;) and they both tried duck for the first time. I'm a vegetarian, but the sisters said it was delicious. Thanks for being willing to miss them for a while so that Boise could be blessed with them!</div>

You are so welcome! Our ward has been dying to get sister missionaries and we finally did/ The ladies said they can't wait to call y'all on Sunday. Wish you both a happy Mothers Day!</div>
