Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy. WHY?! Ughh... I miss my older brother so much! I know Matthew, a.k.a. Elder Ashby, is serving the Lord doing what he is supposed to do, but I just miss him! I don't know if I can wait over 600 more days to see him again. :( I know this isn't my 'spiritual blog,' but on my brother's last email he included his testimony, and I wanted to share it here.
"This church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is not just an organized group of people following Christ in the way they feel is correct, nor is it just a church that is led by inspired men that encourage everyone to do good and to follow Christ. This Church literally is the Church that is led by Jesus Christ and it is His. He established it and continues to lead it today. That is one thing that I love saying to people we talk to on the street when they say that they´re Catholic or Evangelical or Jehovah´s Witnesses, because then we can say 'Somos de la Iglesia de Jesucristo' or 'We´re from the Church of Jesus Christ' or 'We´re from Jesus Christ´s Church.' Its just like, how can anyone say anything to counter that? Its like we acknowledge their church, but say (just by saying the name of the Church) 'Yeah your church may be good, but ours is the Church of Jesus Christ... So which do you think is the right church?' Its just super perfect."
I love Matt so much! He was my favorite brother, and he is the one member of my family that I really connected to. With him gone I feel somewhat alone. I feel like there is no reason for me to be home, and I don't like being at home. I'd rather be alone then with my family, which didn't used to be. I email him every week, and I'm so glad that he is bringing the gospel to the people of Mendoza, Argentina, but I still miss him a whole bunch.
