Well Family,
It was great to talk to you! I loved hearing every one's voice, even if some of you barley talked! but I don't really know what to say in the letter now!....When we went back to dinner it just felt like I got to talk to you all the time and that it wasn't even a "twice a year" event to talk on the phone. I really enjoyed it though!
Today is zone p-day again...these are the worst part of being a zone leader, so we're jetting pretty quick!
I Love you all! Think about ya everyday!!!!
Con amor y respeto!
Elder Erickson
Elder Erickson gave his email for this week personally in his phone call. He called from the Webb's house. He was very grateful that they had invited the missionaries over to call their families and have dinner with them. He said what a "sweet family" the Webb's are. He said that it is pretty crazy to think of all the "cool" people he has met.
He told of a tender mercy the Lord gave him earlier that day -
He and his companion went to the church for Correlation and Ward Council meeting. They had not thought it through that the meetings were canceled because of Mother's Day. They were at the church at 11:00. The ward from Elder Erickson's first area meets in the same building and gets to see people from his first area each week. Their Sacrament meeting starts at 11:00 and the Ortega Family was speaking and since his meetings were canceled he was able to go to the sacrament meeting and hear the Ortega family speak. He said that they gave really good talks. Hno. Ortega said that his wife said everything that he was supposed to say but he went on and gave a really good talk, just going with what the spirit prompted him to say.
Elder Erickson has really been blessed to find, teach and watch the Ortega family grow in the gospel. The Ortega's will be able to go to the temple in a month and Elder Erickson will be able to go with them.
Elder Erickson loves being a missionary. There are many people that he as grown to love!
It was great to put the phone on speaker and sit in a circle around the phone and have a family chat with Elder Erickson. He says "ya'll" a lot but is fighting to not pick up the word " fixn' ".
