Hey family and Friends

I am eating Dog in one of them called Ishew or EESHEW

Green Mamba

Today is great, I am Tired hahaha...... but all is well and I think we will go home and get some great sleep.   We had a super busy week, getting missionaries moved around in our zone and to different apartments.   It took almost the whole day, we were blessed with two hours to go teaching on that day... We had an awesome baptism, Brother Paye, great guy, he has been doing really well and is converted to this gospel.  I might say that he is more centered to the Rock than I am!!!  I don't mean than in a bad way but he really truly is converted to Christ and is willing to do anything he can to see the Kingdom be Built and be made stronger.   We had a zone meeting as well this last week  it was really great, and  I learned much.   Also those who don't listen to their Zone Leaders Got a lil fire from President.  It  helps people realize how Sober we have to be in this Great Work, we are not here to be on Vacation.   We are here to work our butts off and than take a vacation when we get home.  That has helped us out so much.   I heard that my first Son on mission. who was sent home, is now waiting for a call again to get back in the mission field.   I thought that was sweet, cause most who get sent home hate the church or slide back or dont want to go back on mission,   I love this kid and his desire to serve.  

The Lord said all worthy young men, YEP I love the word ALL worthy MEN, 18 to 26 to go on mission. yeah tantrum sorry.... We have a marriage on Saturday for a couple we are working with, the Marpley's, so they and their two children can be  baptized on the 7th, its great the Branch is a great support and are helping so much..We also are working with two other great individuals, a Guy named Benadict, and also Mama, they are both progressing greatly and are planning on them being baptized on the 7th.   We had a great week teaching them, Benadict has now gained a huge testimony of the Book of Mormon, we had him pray in the middle of our lesson, to ask God if it were true, he was reluctant, so we promised him he would get an answer, so he did. 

We ask after how do you feel, he said I feel the Holy Spirit,  It was a great experience.   I remember when he ask Heavenly Father, a big powerful sensation went through my body to Benadict and I knew he had indeed received his answer... This week was busy but we get to always see the miracles and blessings in our life here teaching others. It is the same at home, we can get busy, really busy sometimes, but we are and never should be to busy to see the hand of God in our lives and in others. Listen to the Still small Voice and take time for Heavenly Father and his Children, we are all sinners so we are all bad, so that means no one is better than  anyone, some are just progressing and some treading water or moving back.  Well family sounds like Ivy had a sweet B day, that's so sweet I will be there for her next one, and every one is enjoying the Utah sun, I cant wait for the Dry air :)  the humidity is super hot here ha ha I am always wet with sweat, well I love you all have a great week.  I know as we always take time for others God will take time for us, Love Elder Erickson.  some photos of the Bush in Kakata
