We have been praying to find Families

Hey Everyone

All is well.... this week was great, we did so much, an honestly it went by super fast, yeah mom we are Zone leaders but our biggest duty is to preach the Gospel.   Administering is great but I love teaching People how to come unto the Lord Jesus Christ..... yeah we take more time to teach than to administer but sometimes we feel like assistants to the president, no time to teach anyone.... we do our best and keep pushin our selves to do all we can.... So,  We had two investigators get married on Saturday, now they are ready to baptize on this coming Saturday, with their two children.   It was so sweet to see them happy, they are so excited to receive a Remission of sins and to be able to start preparing to go to the Temple.....  We also have a one wonderful woman, she is our Old ma, her name is Mama and she cannot read or write, but her understanding of the Gospel when she is taught, exceeds my own... She is  a special person and I am Glad we have brought her this far with the Teaching and understanding..... Benadict is progressing greatly, he prayed and asked God if he needed to baptize again, we met with him and he said he has a strong feeling to baptize again.   It was hard for him to make the decision, he has such a deep catholic back ground..  He is coming around great though, the 21st is the day set for him to baptize. we also have been praying to find families and part member families.   I was on exchange with one of the District leaders and we found a sweet family, it was so awesome they have heard so much about the Church, and they really have been searching for a long time.    They had the most happiest feeling when we came and talk to them.. Oh I think I forgot to say this but James Tinneh and Elijah Kollie from Kakata was baptized last week, I was able to help find them and teach them with Elder Marondera, this week was great and wow I think I grew so much spiritually this week, just felt like a big boost in my spirit and drive as a missionary.... We are going to go clean the apartment today and sleep.   I think thats the most I look forward to now on Prep Day, to go sleep, Oh I heard that there are packages at the office we will see on wednesday when I go to Mission council... well not a big email, I love you all keep trying everyday to become like the Savior, Love Elder Erickson
