Hey family and Friends
We
have had a very tedious week, None the less we were able to get some
great things done in the Lords Vineyard. Elder Zulu is having a great
time on his mission. He knows its not easy but even though its not easy
we are having fun and are happy, plus we get along with each other so
well. So when we do something that offends each other we are quick to
let each other know and than since we have a loving companionship we
swallow our pride and humble our selves and improve the quality of our
companionship. Well Emmanuel wasn't able to be baptized, reason being, we
had Stake conference and the whole week all of our leaders were busy. But
we set next week as a good time for Him, he agreed with it, also there
will be another Baptism from another companionship in the Ward the same
day so much support will be there. Wow my first Stake Conf on my mission
it was different than what I thought it would be, but still the same
principles of organization. It was sweet to see a special broadcast for
the African countries, they talked about EBOLA and that they are now
asking for everyone to fast on the 7th for those who are affected by
this virus. So that made me happy to see that we our now seeking an
unstoppable force, the priesthood power of GOD. We met one woman this
week her name is Doris, she is so sweet, We were talking about knowing
Jesus Christ church, She told us that when we passed her she had a
distinct feeling that we are from Christs Church and that she should
trust all that we say, She really felt the spirit when we greeted her
and introduced our selves. We extended a Baptismal date and she excepted
gratefully. Sister Winifred is doing awesome, she wanted to come to
Stake conference but she is part of the police force here in Kumasi and
they had a meeting almost the whole day. Nice shot Benton, sweet man. I
will be obliged to partake of your steaks when I get home!!! I received a
Christmas letter From The Kirkhams, that was very nice made me very
happy. I will be sending a letter home to you all here soon, in hopes
that it will get home before Christmas. Well this week is a thankful
week. I have much to be thankful for: a Loving Mother and Father, without the
spiritual guidance and direction I received, if not for them and the
Examples that were placed in my life, I wouldn't be here serving as a
Missionary for the Lord Church. I am thankful for Clean water!!!!! I am
very thankful for my Heavenly Father who loves me, and His Son Jesus
Christ, I have much more and the list can go on. But look in your own
life and at your own Miracles that have happened in your lives and Pray
to Heavenly Father and thank him for His Love, Also help some one else
to be thankful in their lives. Help and serve those around you, Magnify
your callings, and maybe speak a little nicer to some people in our
lives. I love you all have great week.
Love Elder Erickson
