This week has been a week full of "No NO NO! I don’t
want to hear your message, and No one is home!!" This week has been a hard
week to visit people. Days seem way long when no one is home or no one wants to
hear your message! It’s only a message of your Salvation, no problem! We have
had a lot of noooos this week, but a few really cool yesses!:)
We had a really cool experience this week with our
Investigator Ruy. Ruy right now is really concerned about his work and about
being able to support himself right now. For the past few weeks he hasn’t been
able to come to church with us because he works on Sunday. We had an impression
this past week that we needed to teach him about Keeping The Sabbath Day Holy.
The lesson went really well and the spirit was so strong. We made it very clear
to him the importance of dedicating the Sabbath to the Lord and not working. I
shared a scripture, Mosiah 2:41 where King Benjamin is talking to the people
about keeping the commandments. This verse talks about if we keep the
commandments we will be blessed both in spiritual matters and in material
matters. I felt prompted that I needed to share this scripture for him to
understand that if we keep the commandments God will help us. We left him with
the invitation to keep the Sabbath day holy. The next day we returned to visit
him and he told us he canceled his work on Sunday to go to church! S. Cordeiro
and I were beyond happy. He truly understands the doctrine and principle of
keeping the Sabbath day holy.
Another great experience this week! Wilkens passed the
sacrament for the first time!!!!! Let me tell you S. Cordeiro and I were almost
in tears. It looked like he had been passing the sacrament for years. Wilkens
looks so happy and he smiles every time he sees us. What a blessing the gospel
is in our lives.
Last night S. Cordeiro and I were walking home at about 9:30
laughing really loud in the streets. When all of a sudden we saw a drunken man
sleeping on the sidewalk. I almost screamed it scared me so bad. After we saw
him we tried to walk super quiet and really fast to not wake him up. We were
afraid he was going to wake up and maybe rob us. Don’t worry he didn’t wake
up!! haahahha Just a little funny story!
Thanks for all of your letters and for all your support I
hope you all have a really great week!!
All my love,
Sister Erickson
