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

Woooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhaaa aaaaattt is up y'all. How was your week? Good? Good. Me and Elder Prado are just out here in Paraguay baptizing the WORLD so I guess you could say we're doing pretty good as well.      This week awesome. We talked to billions of people and baptized all of them. Legit we had to go to the ocean to fit them all! It was crazy. Not but on the reals this week was pretty good. We talked to a lot of people and really found a lot of awesome people to teach. We've been visiting a bunch of members lately and getting a lot of references and we're super excited to work with them.      I got a new companion, so I've been guiding the area to Elder Prado and it's been pretty rough, not gonna lie  . We low key got like super lost a couple of days, but we eventually found all of our appointments and didn't die, so I guess you could say we were successful. Elder Prado is a baller. He's from Argentina and he's the man. He only has a m...

Whatttt iisss uppppppppp. This transfer is finally comin to an end and I'm a little sad. Me and Elder Santana had some good times. As the title said, we're going to the gym this transfer! A new missionary Elder Prado is coming to Paso de Oro and he's finishing his training, so I'm finishing his training woot woot. He's from Argentina, so I'm getting pretty close to having a companion from every country in South America. We got Boliva, Brazil, Peru, and now Argentina. So go me.      Week 6 of the transfer is always really hard because we're always thinking about who are next comp is gonna be or where we're going, but we had a really good last week. We talked to a ton of people and found a lot of awesome people to teach. We also found a few really awesome less active families that wanna come back to the church, so we're planning on working with them a lot this next transfer.      My birthday was on Friday, so that was pretty cool. It feels sup...

BAUUUUUUTTTTTIIIIIIIZZZZZZLLLL AAANNNNNDDDIAAAAA!!! woot woot.      Monserrath got baptized!!! The baptism really was a miracle. Me and Elder Santana prayed so much to get that permission. He had the oportunidad to baptize her Saturday and I had the oportunidad to confirm her yesterday. We went into church yesterday and the branch president asked if one of us could do the confirmation and Elder Santana looks at me and sayd "haga" (do it) and it was awesome.       Besides the baptism, I'm gonna be completely honest and tell ya'll that this week was ROUUUGGHHH. We got rejected by people left and right and we were just super busy all week. Usually we have a Weekly Planning every Thursday, but we had to postpone it to Sunday because we were so busy with stuff. Almost every day we got back home at 9:30 and went to bed at 9:45 because we were so tired. BUT, we had a baptism so I really can't complain.      I'm just gonna share a few o...

Hey I just met you, and this is crazzyyy, I'm in Paraguuaayy, get baptized maybe. This week was pretty crazy but not so crazy....AT THE SAME TIME. So it was Elder Santana's birthday (the 29th) and that was fun. He got to talk to his family and we bought pizza and Coke (I know, pretty DARN exciting for a birthday) so that was fun. It's pretty crazy that I can say I'm 18 for only like 2 more weeks. I've spent almost all of my 18 year life in Paraguay, so that's pretty cool. Everyone here still thinks I'm 25.... We talked to BILLIONS of people this week. Pretty much like all of our plans fell through, and our backup plan is always trying to find new people to teach. We have a mission goal to talk to 154 new people every week, and we talked to not 154, but 155. Yeah. So I guess you could say we're the best missionaries in the mission  . We also found a lot of people to teach. So it's more than likely that my man Elder Santana is gonna dip ou...
