God does answer Prayers!

September 2, 2013

NAPHWEADEA Every one!
This Week has been super good, we had 2 baptisms Saturday YAY and we had some very important people come to church, God Played a big role in our week, well every week he does I just noticed a lot more miracles this week. I am Enjoying my new area and already know it very well, me and my companion are working together very well, and I Love this guy to death, we have fun and enjoy each other, going to be a great Eternal Friendship :)  
Glad to hear that you got a letter, I Got two Packages and a Dear Elder, thanks for the Scarf , and snacks.   I Enjoyed them Greatly so did everyone else. Last I hear Randalf has typhoid :/ he is doing great other than that and is strong in faith now :) Benton, Dad  Let this be a lesson to both of you when you get a deer Tag you are supposed to kill the Deer, not to try and hit the tree on the other side of it.  So get some meat on the ground and Send me some Jerky :) thanks! I miss the Temple Like Crazy! President Kirkham came to our Branch  on Sunday for a conference, During Sunday school he asked who wanted to go to the temple in Dec when they go I Raised My hand, and my Request got Denied it was worth a try :) haha Good fun, its Nice to have a Mission President Presence in the mission, and in the areas, gives us hope and a greater desire to become better missionaries and individuals.  
Mom Don't worry about Ethan and Kenzey and their travel, they will be Fine and watched over and Protected I promise. Honestly I received revelation that they had a job opportunity in Oklahoma before I even knew from you guys.   I came to me after I prayed for them,  I sat there for maybe 10 mins in my room and Oklahoma came to my mind, and Ethan and Kenzey then came into my mind.   When I received the email that said they got a job in Oklahoma I knew that my prayers and many others had been answered.   Tells you that God does Answer our prayers. This week we worked super hard to find people to teach almost all of our lessons got bounced and it was rough, and discouraging.   Me and my companion turned to the lord and knelt in prayer and then we knew we needed to go to another location that someone was searching for us there.  As we went we ran in to a Girl named Winifred, she was so excited to see us, she said that she has been praying day and night that she would run into the black man and white man from the LDS church.  We talked with her and shared a message with her, Sunday she came to church, after her we ran into a Muslim man, we really didn't want to teach him cause they conflict all the time here but we took time and listened to him.   He says that he knows that Jesus Christ is the son of God, he had a dream about it, in his dream he saw two missionaries and they came and talked with him and shared a message with him called the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  When we meet him he said that everything has happened the Exact same way in his dream and then he was waiting at that spot for us to come and meet him.   What great faith he has to wait at that spot for us, I know that if we didnt pray and seek guidance we never would of ran into both of these great People, I'm excited to help them to know their Savior and Redeemer and to grow in testimony. I love you all and miss you, Love Elder Erickson !!HAVE A GREAT WEEK!!
