More from Ghana MTC

Thanks for all the quotes Mom. I am doing good, I'm am getting anxious for Liberia and I cant explain the things I feel for the people here in Ghana.  They are so awesome and loving.  Liberia will be a little stronger in receiving the Gospel and cant wait.  I'm going to be in Monrovia,  I think, I'm not sure.  There is a Liberia mission address on the blog or lds website so you can pouch mail quicker to me.   I am doing amazing and feel the spirit in my life every day,  he lets me know that God loves me and that I am doing great things.   I love you guys a lot and miss you,  but i don't ever get the chance to think about home.  My mind is too busy to think about it.   Me and  Master Zaugg  are excited to get in our mission and train our Trainers,  haha.   I'm super pumped, the MTC is great but it gets you down doing the same thing everyday seeing the same halls and places.  Its just like school but not quite.  The MTC is an awesome place to be and to feel the Spirit its here all over the place and I am always feeling it.  Its weird,  I ask to feel the spirit but I am becoming used to feeling it constantly until the spirit makes the feeling stronger.  I think its part of building us up.  I am learning new things about our savior and father in so many ways I cant even express how I feel or explain what is really happening but they happen all day everyday I have been here.  My testimony has sky rocketed and I know it will reach the stars before I know it.  I'm excited, just wanted to tell you guys while i had time to send me some pens and highlighters.  Maybe my old scriptures too? And oils for my body,  Zaugg has them and tells me to get them.   And go get another towel from Deseret book, it would be nice to have two, and food Im starving here lol.   Thank you Mom and Dad and Ivy and Benton, from all my heart I know this church is true I am called of God that I may bring his children the fullness of times that I may be an instrument in the hands of god.  That the work we as missionaries do here is true and is of God.  The things we Teach are of God, President Monsen is our Prophet in this day and age and tells us the things god wants us to know to make sure we get back to him he gives us hints through our test in life to make it back I know that I am a Child of god and cant wait till the day I meet my savior and father, these things are true which I tell you in the name of the only begotten Son Jesus Christ Amen, I will be learning 2 languages to get the message across Krio and cant remember the other I love you all so very much and know that if you put your trust and faith in god that all things are possible, love your son Elder Erickson

 I love you Dad and miss you, Happy  Birthday, since I wont be able to email you at that time.   Thanks for all the advice and encouragement the mission has changed me for the better and am so excited for the highs and lows of my mission. Its going to an amazing thing for me and for my investigators to have a chance to feel what I feel in this gospel, love you a lot and proud to claim you as my dad, love you.
