I know the Church is True!

October 13, 2014

Good afternoon everyone

Elder Zulu is growing fast, I let him take the lead in teaching, planning, and leading in the area.  I saw that he really understands well his purpose under the Heavens as a missionary. He did a great job and it helped him to learn more and become better as a missionary.  I have truly been blessed to have a choice companion such as Elder Zulu, I really have had it easy in training a pre- trained missionary. This week was great we had a lot of things pop up in our proselyting time but we were still able to get some work done. Diannah came to church on Sunday, she is progressing much, we are hoping for the 26th to be her bap date. Emmanuel was sick, so he didn't make it, though he was very sad that he was too sick to come. We met another Emmanuel, he has been through a big challenge, he had a big company, than out of nowhere it crashed.  He believes he hasn't been paying tithes, also he had no idea why he was in Nwamase, he lives so far away at the northern region of Ghana, but he doesn't know why he has come here, he is living with his sister, who has been here for 5 years. We told him he is here to receive the restored Gospel. He has been going through some mentally hard things, and he recognized the Holy ghost, he said every time we come and sit with him, he is at peace, and his mind isn't going everywhere, but that is is at peace and he understands all we say to him. He is very excited about our message, in particular he loves the Plan of Salvation, its the most unique, but also one of the most perfect plans that he has seen to gain Eternal life. He wants to go Celestial, he always says this when we pass by his small shop on the road. We had a zone Activity today, we grilled Chicken and played football, it was very enjoyable, Elder Verdonie is an Elder who was supposed to go to Liberia but came here, he is a great guy, and looks like he has adjusted well to Ghana. The week went well, keeping a good pace and trying to always push my self for the very small time that I have left, its too soon and I wish it would go a little slower, I know you dont want it to, but I love mission too much It wouldnt be bad to go at it for another year. I cant comprehend really, life with out the people I get to serve each and every day. Glad to hear that Ethan and Kenzey are coming back that will be good, goes to show that its important to follow gods plans for us, rather than our own understanding.  Circumstances are always better and happier when following the Still Small Voice.  I am happy for them. I still want to go to OK and see what its like. I am glad Benton was able to kill some meat, thats sweet :). Well the rest of the day I think we will be sleeping and yeah that sounds too good.  We have zone meeting tomorrow, should be good. I love you all have a great week and I know this Church is true, its the ONLY ONE, Ephesians 5:4 Love Elder Erickson
