Hello Family and Friends
this week was really eventful, we had a lot of ups and downs with our investigators, no baptisms this week possibly one nxt week just got to help George figure some things out, so one of our investigators, Brother Steven Quayeson who is my favorite investigator since I have been here in Africa he has been battling and Pushing to Repent of his sins, it has not been easy for him, my last to companions and I have been really working with him to achieve his goal of Baptism, last thursday we went for an interview with President Kirkham and he didnt pass so on saturday we were talking on his feeling about the future, I know it was hard for him to hear that he cant be Baptize yet, when were talking with him he said he is going to push harder now, cause Jesus Christ is his savior and redeemer and he said that The lord with help him even more than ever he just has to show more faith, Brother Steven knows that this church is true the past 12 weeks he has come to church and is trying to do all he can to help the branch as a non member, I love the faith of this Man. I. know I am going to cry when he gets baptizes. I don't think I have given up or sacrificed so much for one person in my life to recieve the fullness of this gospel and the happiness that come from living the Principles found inside, I don't think I have ever prayed for one person as long as I have for Steven, we are hoping that on the 30th of nov he will be part of an amazing miracle, that no matter how screwed up our lives are and whatever we have done we can find Forgiveness and insurmountable joy and happiness I cant wait till the 30th of NOV still got a lot of hard work but i know the Lord will Provide. Its good to hear that doug got and Elk I am a little jealous of that one, especially the horse riding part, the weather is getting dryer, no snow so far ;) but sounds like its coming down at home, The training is going great its not easy learning humility and patience from this Experience, all of our investigators are doing Awesome, sister Beatrice came to church on Sunday, Also we got to watch conference not the whole thing just a lil bit cant wait till I can watch all the Conference when I get home since we dont get to here. Wow Ivy is getting Older and yeah Pretty speechless to tell you the truth, she has changed so much and grown up fast wow I wonder what she is going to look like when I get home. I thought of this if Benton goes on a mission when I get home I'll only get about 2 or 3 months with him crazy. Wow also I do get to call home here really soon its coming fast hope your ready for it cause I'm not :)
I love you guys so much have a Super Duper Day, also Remember to keep it Classy San Diego, Love Elder Erickson ;)
