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

I'm soooooooooo tiiirrreeeeddd guuuyysssss oh my goodness. This week was super fast but WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO it was tiring. We had something to do like literally every day. I'll give you the run down.       Tuesday  - We painted this member's patio GREEN in like the whole entire morning. We also had painted his fence green the week anterior. We're planning on painting him green next week.       Wednesday  - I went to Paso Yobai on splits to do a baptismal interview for this guy who was actually baptized Saturday. I flippin DIIIEEEEDDDD. It was SOOOOOOO HAAAAWWWWWWWWWTTTTTTT and I have like NO leg strength to ride a bike up hills and it was really DUUSSTTYYY in the aiir and AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I NEVER WANNA GO BACK AGAIN.       Thursday  - ZOONNEEEE CONNFFERRRENNCCEE. We went to Coronel Oviedo and had a pretty good conference.        Friday  - My man Elder Smith woke up with a s...

So if you're reading that title right, you're noticing that NOBODY FLIPPING WENT TO CHURCH AGAIN!!!!!! What the heck man! Why is it so hard? Think about it...you get up just a little early and go to this place for just 2 short hours and keep all of the commandments and BAM, you're saved and go to the celestial kingdom. You'd think it would be more easy.      Anyways, WHAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTSSSS UUUPPP YAAA'LLLLLLL. This week was pretty swell. We found a lot of really cool people to teach. By that, I mean that we're teaching like 5 people, which is like 5 more than we've been teaching since my time here in Villarrica. So that's pretty cool.      Man, ya know I'm really trying to think of anything creative or exciting to put on this email, but ya know nothing is really coming to mind right now. I guess that means I had a pretty good week.      I guess I've been learning a lot about faith and patience. Like we've actually been working so hard ...

So I bet most of you were thinking, "Wow, I stopped getting emails from Elder Erichsen...FINALLY!" But hahahah jokes on you, I had to go to Asunción yesterday, so here I am writing on TUESDAY. Get ready for the worst email of your LIFE.      This week we trabajared sooooooooo muuuchhhhh. Like we definitely put our  shoulders  to the  wheel.  But you know what happened!? Nobody went to church! What the heck!! We had 4 people sign a COMMITMENT paper to go to church and they just didn't go man. I don't know que pasa. PERO, we did find an AWESOME family that accepted a baptismal date for the 30th of November. It's a mom and she has 2 kids who are 21 and 25 (most people here live with their parents until their parents die). They're all super cool. We visited them with a member and it was great.      I've just recently realized how IMPORTANT the Libro de Mormon is. Like there's almost no point in teaching anybody more of the lessons until ...

This week was soooooOOOOOOOOOOOO hoootttttTTTT. Oh my GOODNESS guys. I think it was over 100 like every single day. Pretty crazy. We had a pretty solid week though. We had this guy go to church who we found Saturday night and he seemed pretty cool. His name is Jorge. Besides that we just kinda talked to billions of people and found like nobody who wanted to get baptized which was kinda lame, but it was pretty great.      This week I broke my record for contacts. So we count every single person we talk to each day (like new people we don't know) and my previous record was 195 and we destroyed this week and hit 255, which was pretty wild. Probably talked to 255 more strangers in one day than I have in my whole life. We found 37 new people to teach, but that's now saying much because we probably won't find any of them again WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.      Anyways, last night we had a HUUUGGGEEE storm. Like I'm talking one of the biggest thunderstorms I've seen here....
