Zone Conference

Had a GREAT week,  got a little boy, Joseph Baptized Saturday and confirmed Sunday.  It was great he will grow so much,  I'm excited for him and what he will become.  My new companion Elder Osayi is a Nigerian and we get along very well.   He really knows his Scriptures well probably just as well as Dad.   I am grateful for him and the blessing he is in my life now.  I have grown  so much from this last week and have been teaching a lot of people.   I don't know why but people have been coming to us like wildfire in high winds.  We have a lot of progressing investigators they are growing in a huge way.   I know that they know that this church is the only true Church on the earth and want to be better.   June 15 we are planning on a big baptismal day :) :) Transitioning to my new Companion has been easy,  it was hard to say goodbye to Elder Elliott but its just a part of growing on mission.   Things have been going so well, the joy that I feel, I don't know how to Explain it.  I feel like I don't have enough time to teach people.   Three months is here and time is going by too  fast for me!!!  Looks like Benton found some wicked elk sheds that sweet. glad things are going well.   I am sorry to here that about Wayne he was truly a great example to all of us, send my condolences to them and their family,   I will pray for them. Mom,  its alright to tell me things I have alot of things going on and am too busy to let things really get in my way! :) I am deeply saddened though to hear of Zac's Death, wow,  but lets us remember that god has given us a Plan and we need fear not for what happens after death.  We know where we are going and that things are always going to be okay,    even in times of struggle.   God gives us  these challenges  to see if we will be faithful to him.   Every one is always in my prayers.  Something I was studying, on how we will be judged when judgment comes, watch what we say cause we will be judged by our words, our thoughts and even  our works.  Let us always keep christ in our hearts, I promise that if we do that we will not need to worry about the things we do say or think. Dad,  Testimony is Powerful Beyond Discription I have seen first hand the Power Behind a Pure and Simple Testimony,

I want to finish with my Testimony, that this church, the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is true that The Covenants and Promises that are made with in this gospel are true and Ever lasting, I Know that the Temple Is where We can Make sacred covenants with our Father in Heaven, the Book of Mormon is the WORD of God, that Our Father in Heaven knows all things Even What We can Become, I Know that Thomas S Monson is our Prophet Called of God to Guide his children in these Last Days, I Know that  Joseph Smith Translated the Book Of Mormon  and helped Erect the True Church Back on the Earth today with the help of God, I know testimonies can Change Peoples Lives in the Blink of an Eye, I know that With Faith All things are Possible, I love you all have a great week,  Follow the Prophet and Choose the Right!   Love Elder Erickson
