Hey everyone! Hope you guys are all having a great week! This week wasnt as crazy as the last one but im definitely not complaining about that lol!
Work:
This week we were finally able to work a little bit and we had some pretty good success! We found 9 new people that want to learn about the gospel! My comp and i Elder Elledge have been working really hard to help San Felipe 2 grow into an amazing area but we will no longer be in San Felipe 2 for very much longer. My old companion Elder Valencia is training a new missionary in the area of San Felipe 1 but the new guy is going home to help his family, thats not all of his story but i dont want to share much about his circumstances in respect to him. We arent sure when hes leaving but it will probably be this week. Elder Elledge and I will become a trio with Elder Valencia and will be working in San Felipe 1, so that means that San Felipe 2 will be put on hold and we will see what president wants to do with it next transfer. This past week i recieved a new phone finally haha! After i got robbed i recieved a replacement that didnt work all too well so i finally got my new one after a few months!
Exorcism??😅
This week we recieved a member reference to a man named Nicholas. We met with him and he basically told us his whole life story about he was drugged as a kid and ever since then hes been able to see and talk to spirits and ghosts, and they also physically attack him and write things on the walls of his house when hes gone. We taught him about jesus christ and the priesthood and he asked if we could come back a different day to bless him and also his house. We came back on thursday to give him a blessing and dedicate his house. When we walked in there was a dead tree in the middle of yhis one room shack with a huge pile of dirt around the tree. He told us the spirits told him to bury something there so we decided not to ask questions haha! We gave him the blessing and dedicated his house and honestly my comp and i both felt nothing but the holy ghost during the whole thing. We heard rats in his shack and weve talked to him a little more and are 90% sure hes schizophrenic but we will see what happens with him😅

Spiritual thought:
This past week the come follow me talked about Abraham and the sacrifice of his son Issac(which didnt end up happening) but i was thinking a lot about heavenly father and how much love he has for us to willingly give his only begotten as a sacrifice for us. That would be a pain that i could never imagine. I am so grateful for the sacrifice of our savior Jesus Christ and the opportunity that he has given me to return to live with my family and my heavenly father for eternity in the halls of the celestial kingdom. The love that our father in heaven has for us is incredible and my invitation for you guys this week is to love a little deeper. Also to focus on being just like him, who loves unconditionaly, and said in
Matthew 5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
Christlike attribute: Love
Love you all and hope you guys have a great week!
-Elder Ericson
