Hey mom
Nothing crazy happened this week. But it was just an all around good week. We have a fecha for this Saturday and probably 2-3 in 3 weeks. Sorry fecha means date or a baptism date. So we've been working with this lady and her name is Sandra. We've been teaching her for a long time and I've really enjoyed watching the light come on. Its been a long process but we found out a few weeks ago that she wasn't married and that the husband didn't want to get married or have her get baptized. And maybe a week ago we had her talk to her husband about it and they set a date for sometime in August to have a big reception after the wedding. But yesterday we talked with the president of the branch here and talked with them about getting married a lot sooner to not live in sin anymore and to have the reception in august. And as of right now they're going to get married this Wednesday. We've come along ways with her and we still have a ways to go but she likes us and she likes what we say.
So we've been working a lot more with the members now and i think that's been helping out a lot. We try to teach with them a lot and try to get them involved with the positive investigators more. I can really see a difference when we think about what we want to do or see happen before we do it. What a concept right?
Elder Savage, the hot sun at times, the mosquitoes, the members of the branch, and I are having a great time down here. Elder Savage and I are trying to be more balanced in everything we do now. Not just balanced with contacting and teaching but in everything we do throughout the day whether it be with food, sleep, personal study, or exercise. I think that's one thing that if I learn how to do while out here then it'll be a success. I mean there's obviously more to learn but being balanced is a good thing to do as well.
All is well down here. I'm doing good. Looking forward to this upcoming week.

Hey dad
Sounds like you're living good. Golf, chili, ice cream. That sounds like fun. We have bread down here that's pretty good. There's sweet bread and that's pretty good sometimes too. It's pretty nice down here.
It's so nice when you teach people and the light comes on or you watch a person change their lives over a period of time. It's pretty cool. We had a pretty good week and I can't wait for this next one.

Erik's Favorite Scripture
Mosiah 4:11-12
11 And again I say unto you as I have said before, that as ye have come to the knowledge of the glory of God, or if ye have known of his goodness and have tasted of his love, and have received a remission of your sins, which causeth such exceedingly great joy in your souls, even so I would that ye should remember, and always retain in remembrance, the greatness of God, and your own nothingness, and his goodness and long-suffering towards you, unworthy creatures, and humble yourselves even in the depths of humility, calling on the name of the Lord daily, and standing steadfastly in the faith of that which is to come, which was spoken by the mouth of the angel.
12 And behold, I say unto you that if ye do this ye shall always rejoice, and be filled with the love of God, and always retain a remission of your sins; and ye shall grow in the knowledge of the glory of him that created you, or in the knowledge of that which is just and true.
