Four Months Out! Only 19 more Fast Sundays left!

July 8, 2013

Naphwadea Family and Friends this week was great just like all the rest, it was a challenging week, trying to prepare people for baptism it was good to see that one of our investigators George David prepared him self personally and I was able to baptize him Saturday, transfer news is here I will be staying in Logan Town with Elder Osayi still but he is becoming district leader now. Our big area is now split into another zone everyone in our big apartment complex and the sisters apartment are one zone, great things are going on here in Liberia and the work is moving forward more and more.   I am Glad that you all enjoyed the 4th of July I my self enjoyed it small small.   We had chilli fry's and some brownies and redbull,  it was great occasion so I indulged a little bit and bought a thing of chocolate crackers!!! 
 The fish pictures are great Benton is getting some muscle tone not lookin like a tooth pick anymore ;) just kidding.  I do remember our first encounter with Piute county on the 4th of July lol, yeah dry ice bombs.   I miss almost blowing my self up in the month of July :) Tell everyone hi for me at the Reunion I will miss being there.  Yeah today is 4 month mark for me I got a ways to go but its going by too fast. Wow mom you will love that calling, yesterday at a devotional for President Kirkham the little Primary children sang songs, the first time in along time that I have heard that, made me love these People here more.  President Kirkham is a Great man, I Enjoy him already and we are great friends,   Its so sweet.  I wont worry about buying stuff  till the last 4 month of my
mission, Obedience is the key to everything in life if we are obedient we are blessed if we are disobedient We are blessed with consequences :) I love being obedient cause it just makes my weeks easier and a lot more spiritual. Well this Sunday was a great fast Sunday and i know it was one of the most powerful ones I have been to, the testimonies of our branch was amazing, then George our newest convert bore his testimony on the Book of Mormon wow that was very impressive.  Well mom not going to lie I missed you a lot this week, and I missed the family as well and even Benton I missed. Dont worry I'm not going to let it bug me.  I have been managing my emotions quite well :) I haven received any packages or letters yet but i know that they will be here soon, Dont worry about them they will come. 

  MOM you are definitely getting older almost as old as dad but still your my mom and that wont change, just the age, and that matters cause through 19 years of that time you have given me love and hope and charity, even in my disobedient times MOM I LOVE you HAPPY HAPPY BIRTH Day! I will enjoy it with you even here in Africa, Well I love you all, and like always Choose The Right it makes life better. Love Elder Erickson
