Hey Family and my friends
I
am an Uncle, Wow that is something I really never thought about, It
feels great. I thank our Father which is in Heaven that we can all be
together as a Family in happiness for eternity...... what more can we
ask for, better to go through the hard times here, so we can enjoy the
Good times With God.... Happy Birthday Anna.... This week is fantastic.
we had 5 Conversions the Marplay Family who was married the 31st of
last month and baptized Saturday, also Mama was baptized. Great Week we were
busy, yes with Mission Counsel, which took the whole day almost we had
small time to
proselyte and were able to teach two people. Benedict
is coming along great, I have high hopes that on the 21st he will
baptized, he Knows the church is true and Loves the Book of Mormon. His
friends are really giving him a hard time though with the Law of
Chasity, but he is progressing and pushing onward.... I did go on
exchange with Elder Enuqwarie I think that's how you spell it... he is 3
transfers a head of me and only has 2 left, I learned much from him..
and how to be a patient teacher, to listen with exactness and to teach
with unity, also how to use our members better in our lessons with
investigators.... We had fun there was water every where in their area,
so we had to take our shoes and socks off and walk through the water to
get to some places. it was great, my feet got ate alive by fire ants,
but its all a part of the experience right :), I haven't seen Conference
yet woohoo probably never will :/ but no problem I gave the APs my memory
stick to put conference on it for me so I will get to listen to it here
soon... We have a great family we are working with and now they are very
sober in following Christ to receive a remission of sins, but the man
and his girlfriend need to get married and that's what the plan is till
they can purchase or make the sacrifice and the branch will help out
small too... So we will be working with them plenty, we have been
working with our less actives and bringing them back..... We saw some at
church it was great, just small encouragement and promised blessing and
they follow their heart, which is touched upon by the still small
voice... Well the week went by fast and I am sure they will continue to
go by fast, Crap I dont want that..... I am washing my net today, yay,
it looks nasty, I got a new pillow and yeah its great, the white one
that is now black will be washed and given to someone probably one of
mama's children.... much love, Love Elder Erickson
