Happy 24th of July everyone, we had another baptism this week, Sister Vanessa. She is probably one of the strongest in faith, yet that I have been able to help in changing someones life. She has over come challenges but her family has supported her in her desire to follow Jesus Christ. Now we are working to get all 10 of her family members baptized so they too can receive greater blessing from their father in heaven. My companion is healthy, I got really sick Saturday and I wasn't able to go yesterday to church so dreadful I hate being sick, I missed being able to see my people and investigators. Things are getting better, today I am just super weak and have barely any strength I'm just relying on the strength I am getting from my father in heaven. This week has been humbling to me, just trying to become better every day little by little. So last Monday for p day we went and play basketball next to the court there was a very very nice turf soccer field so me and my companion went and played with a few of the Liberian national team and some other layers it was really nice to feel turf under my feet and to feel the flow of the soccer game so smooth. Something I wont forget, Liberians know how to play football they are really good we had so much fun though playing with such great players, I'll try and get pics on. next Monday we will go play again. Yeah Mom I think about the pioneers and their great sacrifices a lot, but really when they reached the salt lake valley they probably didn't even think of those sacrifices because of the great blessings they received. Well I know I have made sacrifices, but really I never think about it cause I am being blessed everyday getting to help bless other people. its the greatest feeling ever. Great things are happening here in Africa and all over the world, tons of 18 year olds and more sisters haha. They are doing a great work we all are and I'm grateful for our prophet who has called us to serve our God, with all our heart might mind and strength. It takes a lot out of me to do this but what I gain is more precious, The church is so true no doubt and Jesus Christ lives So does our Father in Heaven and they love all of us. Just like I love all of you I hope you all enjoy your 24th of July and family time, Love Elder Erickson,
