Morning O
The
week went well. Emmanuel was Confirmed and he was very excited about
it. The stake President came and split our ward, The spirit really was
super strong in that meeting. I Know that the
lord is in control of this work and I always get a reassuring feeling
from the still small voice. Our area is sweet we have been finding many
investigators, we found 13 new ones this week and are working with 32
investigators progressing towards Baptism, Hoping
for a great turnout these last 12 weeks, I freak my self out when i say
that... 12 WEEKS what that's to crazy, Also cant believe I will turn 21
this week, I feel 21 haha. We had a great Experience out of many this
week. Well let me share two. We met one guy
named Ike from Ivory Coast, Big Body builder, he is really cool never
herd about the Church. We talked with him with two of our Return
missionaries and taught the Restoration to him,I would have to say that
it was the Most powerful lesson I have had on mission,
The spirit was perfect and I could see in Ike's Eyes that he felt
something very good. He went to church at a different Ward building
while visiting his ill mother.. We Also contacted one man in an area I
have always felt prompted to go to since I came to
this area. But never made time, Finally we got bounced a few times and I
got the Prompting to go to this place. We walked up a hill and the
first compound on our left, we walked up to the gate like Robots, like I
was not in control, yet I was. We knocked on
the door and a Man named Koffi answered the door, he welcomed us in, We
taught him a profound and incredibly short lesson, with burst of the
spirit flowing through us. At the End of the lesson Koffi asked where we
Worship, we Told him that he said this is
what I have been searching for, he told about the woman of Samaria at
the well and how Christ told her that through him we can quench our
spiritual thirst. He said how he has been searching and how all the
pastors of churches have done him wrong. He said he
would come to Church and see. On Sunday he came, I didn't even get a
chance to invite him to church, he took the Initiative. This go to show
that when we put trust in God and his ways he can Guide us to be
Successful, In all things. I love this work and These
Next 12 weeks will blow by so fast and i dont want it to, so really
just going to keep doing what me and Elder Zulu are doing and Bring
souls unto Christ. How great is our Calling. Benton Good job in
wrestling, Remember Mat Time is key to success, and leave
everything on the mat this is your last year, you will want to remember
that you gave your best. Well sounds like all is well at Home. Soon Ill
be there to enjoy it with you, But also Pray that I will have the
strength to endure to the End. I can always use
help from the other Side. Thank you for the Birthday wishes. Yameshral-
means God Bless you. ALL. Have a great week, Love Elder Erickson
