Hello family!
Sorry Emailing is always on different days. Libraries were closed yesterday, and now I have to be super fast because we have a full day. I'm on exchanges with the Elders from Dayton, Elder Evans came here with me so we are just going to be short today!
First off the baptism for Josefina is next week. Everything is on track and going well. We are meeting with her tonight to go over the baptism interview questions.
We had another miracle that I thought you might like to hear. Each week the Lord shows me a new subject of the gospel. This week was prayer. We had zone conference on Thursday and after we were going straight to our hour of power lesson. We didn't know who we were doing it with but we wanted to do it with a less-active in the southern part of our area, we hardly make it down there. After zone conference we decided to pray in the parking lot to know who we should go see. Elder Smith said the prayer, While he was praying the letter "S" came to my mind. So right after the prayer we opened up to the names that started with S. We hurried through a couple of them and then came to one named Sauceda. Neither of us knew that name but it felt right so that's what we decided.
When we got there and talked with her for a little, it looked like a bust. She has been going to a baptist church for the last 1 or so. She got offended when they told her she had to move churches. She invited us in and told us to wait because she had to make the salsa real quick, but instead we hurry and asked her if she could show us how she makes salsa. So we got taught something and while she was showing us we were teaching her about the restoration and the reason it makes a difference what church she went to. She still had a testimony of Jose Smith but didn't understand what that belief really meant. Her husband came home and we made a quick relationship with him and he invited us back for dinner this Weds. Hna. Sauceda said she is going to come back to church next week as well! When we ended we explained hour of power and invited them to pray. after the hour we called her back to tell her how it went. She thanked us for having her pray. She said how her house felt so much better after she prayed and how she has been having marriage problems as well but now she felt calm and good and said she was excited to have us back!...Mission life is almost unreal how much God helps! and I'm glad he does because without it we would be nothing!!
I hope you all had a great Valentines day! I miss you so much!
Con amor y Respeto
Elder Erickson
