Far and Wide His Love Proclaim: Elder Erichsen's Emails

Hey Mom! Hahaha I'm so happy my picture with the cat is popular. I thought it was super funny when we took it. We were teaching a menos activo member and he had these little cats jump up on us during the lesson. So we have 'interviews' with President every transfer to make sure everythings good, and we had ours this week and President told me that I'm almost for sure going somewhere this transfer. He didn't know where yet but just told me I was leaving. I personally think it would be super fun to go somewhere super far away like in Zone 9 or something. The farthest area away is called Campo Nueva and I kinda wanna go there haha. But I don't have a huge preference. Also MOM. On my last transfer I am FOR SURE gonna try to make everyone feel trunky!!! That's the funnest part of leaving!!  1. No she didn't. We had a really good lesson with her a few days ago with a few members and it was awesome. She's still trying to read and pray to...

Hola Mamá!! Este semana era super borete! This week was super good!  It went by super fast but super slow at the same time hahaha. It feels like P day was yesterday but a month ago at the same time. Elder Gutierrez just hit his 6 months so he burned his tie a few days ago and that was super fun haha. I hit 5 months a week from today so I'm just a little bit further away from that. Our district leader (Elder Walker) is super funny but he's suuuuuper lame haha. He just got his flight plans and he always talks about how excited he is to go home, and it makes me and Elder Gutierrez super trunky and sad hahaha. I really don't have a ton to write about  .  If you ever have any questions about anything you can always ask me because I lot of times I don't know what to write you haha. But this week was super good. We found a lot of good people to teach. Also, Graciela went to church yesterday and she really likes it. She still has her baptism date for the 2nd of...

Mom!!! That conversion story is so awesome!! It made me tear up a little bit hahaha. We actually had something very similar happen with a girl named Pamela like a month ago. We had 3 really good lessons and then she completely dropped us because her church didn't want her to talk to us. She has a Book of Mormon now though and I always hope that someday she realized it's true. But thanks so much for sending me that! That's awesome! Also thank you SO MUCH for photos. They all sent successfully. Elder Gutierrez's family always sends him a bunch of pictures every week so I felt like I was missing out hahahaha. I save them all on a flashdrive and we have a little DVD player at the house we can look at them on. Oh just a little about Elder Gutierrez, just because I feel like I haven't told you a ton.... He's AWESOME. We get along super well and he's awesome. He was baptized 2 years ago which I think is so crazy. He's out here in Paraguay right now!! Bu...

Whatsup my corbatas! Hope you all had a fanTASTIC New Years. We had party until 10 30 with some members. That's right. You heard me. We had permission to be up until TEN THIRTY. It was pretty nuts. It has literally rained EVERY SINGLE DAY this week. And not even like light rain. I mean like RAIN RAIN. When it rains, legit like no one wants to talk to us and no one wants to go to church. Church started like 20 minutes late yesterday and there was like 20 people there. But we have found some new people to teach this week so that's good. Right now we have an investigara (Graciela) and she's trying to receive an answer if she should get baptized or not by reading the Book of Mormon. We're following up on that tomorrow and I think she'll say yes and we can baptize her later this month. Having Elder Gutierrez as my companion is sooooo different for so many reasons. First of all, I basically have to plan all of our days because he obviously doesn't know the area...

Hey mmoooommmm, Alright. So Elder Guerrero is going to some area in Zone 8(I don't know how to pronounce or spell it so don't ask me) and I'm staying here in Republicano. Normally we have cambios on Tuesday, but it's being delayed to Wednesday because of New Years. My new companion is Elder Gutierrez and he's from Utah!! WOoot! I get a companion that speaks English! I'm so happy  . I don't know too much about him. I only talked on the phone with him for like 3 mintues haha. He has one more transfer than me so he's also very new. I also know that Elder Sapp is going somewhere in Zone 3 so I'm a little bummed about that. Also! One of the guys from my CCM group (Elder Campbell) is going back to Utah. I guess he had bad depression problems and he can't handle to mission. So that made me a little sad as well. But that's about all I have for cambios. Right now I think Graciela can definitely be baptized next month and also this dude named J...
