Easter Testimony

April 21, 2014

Hey family
Had a real busy week, well more busy than most, I'm always busy!, and
that's a good thing. Sunday was great, had 15 investigators in church.
We have dropped a lot of people, and we are just trying to continue
the work of the lord. We love those who we have dropped but we teach
those who are willing to repent of their sins having faith in Jesus
Christ, working towards receiving a remission of Sins and Enduring to
the End. I love teaching people, I hate lies and Excuses, but I love
those who Keep the Lords Commitments. On Friday I went on Exchange
with Elder Elliott, my Trainer when I came on my mission, never thought
that would happen, it was great. I went on his side of Kakata for the
First Time. He has great Investigators, also it was good to see how
much my father has Changed in his Teaching. We had 6 investigators Get
interviewed on Saturday, saw only a few people that day and spent the
rest getting our investigators Interviewed. Interviews with President
didn't work out this past week, but this week he will come.  Our normal
Interviews with president were Great it was good to talk with
President Kirkham also to see what I can learn, and to have Questions
Answered, President didn't know how long I would be here in Kakata. My
companion Elder Marondera goes home July 19th so he will most likely
die in Kakata. Transfers are on Monday and we should get news on
Saturday or Sunday, I'm not sure what will happen. I want to stay, only
two transfers in Kakata is not enough for me, but its not my will.  I am
here to learn to bring my will with the Lords.  So what ever happens
its Divine Revelation From God and I have been called by the Lord to
be his Witness in the World. Where ever I go I will do my best to be
that Witness for others. I Really love these People and I am Not ready
to go, I really gain more love for others as I continue in this
mission, and it gets harder and harder every time I go! It was good to
see the Berretts, Love that Couple so much, they are a great strength
to us all and they are some very powerful teachers! This week was
wonderful though, Sunday evening we spent time at President Harmons
House, he had a Open house, they just moved into their new home, its
beautiful and they are truly blessed.  I enjoyed looking up into the
clouds that day as the sun went down and just had the most precious
Feeling come over me, started to thing of all the Beautiful things
that Jesus Christ has Created with His hands, and than the realization
that this man or shall I say God laid his life down for us so that we
may also have the opportunity to become a joint heir with him and to
gain Exaltaion and to live in happiness for ever and ever. 
I want to bear my testimony as a witness of the lord Jesus Christ, That He
Lives, he is the Chief Cornerstone of his kingdom on the Earth, He has
Conquered Death by Resurrection. I know that He is the Son of God the
Only Begotten of the Father, I know He loves each of us Very much, I
know that he Communes with his Living Prophets, he Directs His Church
with Imperfect men, who are Witnesses of the Risen Lord throughout all
the World. I know that Jesus is the Christ, He is the only name under
the Heavens where by, men and women can be saved in the Kingdom of
GOD, to gain an inheritance in the Celestial Kingdom, I am a Disciple
of Jesus Christ, The Son of God, I have been given authority of him to
be a witness and to teach his Truth to all the Children of men. I am
pray that we will live our lives, by following the Example of the
Risen Lord in all our doings, and i promise if we do this we will
receive happiness beyond measure, in the Sacred name of Jesus Christ
Amen. Love you all, have a great Week, Love Elder Erickson
