A Difficult Week, Things are Progressing in Liberia

September 29, 2014

FUFU,  He says it tastes Great!

Good morning

This week was a lil difficult, we had a hard time finding people to sit down and listen to our message, Even though it will be the most important message that they will ever here. Elder Zulu is having his birthday today, we had pancakes for breakfast and for dinner we will think of something. The work is good though it is work and its hard, as my companion is figuring out :), I am sure its small humbling, I know it was for me. President Kirkham sent a letter about the Saints in Liberia and how they are doing> I want to thank all those who have sacrifice one way or another for those saints in Sierra Leone and Liberia, my heart goes out unto thee. Things sound great, the branches and leaders are stepping up and be more mature and doing what is required, Kakata Branch I heard is doing great and wondrous things with over 300 people at church on Sunday. The branch missionaries that alll of us have been taking out with us and training are now doing the missionary work and the work is progressing people are still being baptized and the church is still prospering, from this I Know God watches over his own......... We met a great woman this week, he name is sister winifred she has been prepared by the lord for our message, never has heard of the church and knows small about Christ, so we were so happy to testify of Christ and of his Gospel, We will be teaching her much this week, we pray that more will happen with her, sister Dianna is also progressing and making her way towards baptism on the 19 of this month. All is going good, we are doing what we have been called to do and its FUN!!! I LOVE it with all my heart, the sweat and the heat and whatever there is to try and persuade us not to do these things I love it, it makes the learning all so much more sweeter and finding those who are prepared by God, I'm like a child at a Ice cream shop. I love you all, Glad that all is going great at home, I try not to think too much of home, but it comes a little more now, but I am here to serve a 24 month mission so I will :) Love Elder Erickson.
