Found some Golden Investigators

July 14, 2014

Hey guys, this week was great we had some great things happen, first of all Transfer news: and I am staying with Elder Pearmain for 7 weeks until the next transfer than for sure I think I will be leaving or he will. But till than we have got some new awesome GOLDEN investigators, God has trusted us still and we have got two couples working towards a marriage certificate and ultimately baptism. They want to receive a Remission of sins so bad, that they are changing many things, so they can show the lord that they are Repenting and changing for Progression. If we want to Improve in life we also have to change, no change no Improvement. Also another woman came to church with our Invitation, of course she didn't need one, but she came, and the Spirit touched her heart enough that she really wants to become a member of the Lords Church. One couple the Martins, I love them like crazy!!!!! b\Brother Martin has 4 sons and his girlfriend, they only need to get a marriage certificate.   They have done the traditional marriage but no proof, so they need the certificate to show its legal.  I hope with in these 7 weeks things will get done for them to be baptized, our fist lesson we took Benedict  our recent Convert with us, and really He blew my mind, he teaches better than most missionaries, and he hasn't gone to the MTC.. he is great.   The spirit resides so strongly in him. He is an absolute Spiritual giant. I know now why my companion and I have been called to serve in this area, it has been trampled over with many missionaries, but we are just finding people left and right and they are all prepared to receive and to live the Gospel. In missionary terms we have found a Gold deposit, Golden Investigators. the other Couple, Benedict and Ester  came to church for the first time and they loved it.   They have been to many churches, but the Church of Jesus Christ is the only one they feel a sincere love from God in, and also they learned more about Christ on Sunday than they have ever thought possible. They are learning to trust each other, but they are showing this through their obedience to the Gospel and Commitments we extend to them, True and Faithful is what they can and will become if they have faith in our Lord and savior Jesus Christ.  We also had a sweet service project cutting grass at a recent converts house, tallest grass I have ever set eyes on in my life, like a jungle, it was fun though.  We had Zone meeting on Tuesday, we were able to train and to help our Zone see where we need improvement and determination. It was great and I have learned so much being a Zone leader, and to help be a influence for good and Righteousness.  Well the rain has been off and on, lots of mud, I need to get a photo of our road its so messy and destroyed.  Best way to fix a dirt Road in liberia, well put more dirt on it :) haha its great. No baptisms, we don't have any planned for this month but many in August. Sounds like the week was slow at home, poor Benton I'm sorry, pipe will build muscle though so at least you are working. Yeah I don't know why but I feel like I have changed so much these last 4 weeks.   I am looking at things in a newer way and picking things out even more. I have been reading the Old Testament, this look over cannon of Scripture is great, I am in love and eating the Word of Christ and the Prophets of OLD. I am Gaining a new understanding Of Jesus Christ and who he really was. Well today we are going to go play Futball, should be fun. Love you all have a great week and remember who side you are on, the lords or the opposition against GOD. love Elder Erickson
