This is Just the best!

 

A lot has happened this week, but at the same time, mot to much.

We are comin up on my companions last week! Hes not too excited to finish, so we have been working our butts off makin every second count!

This whole mission thing is truly something very special. Ive learned a lot and ive still got a long ways to go, this week we had interviews with our mission president! A lot of people are scared of him but everytime I talk to him he seems really excited and happy! The other day he used my first name because my companion and I have the same last name so he just called me Eric... which kinda freaked me out he quickly corrected himself and saif Elder Erberg. It was silly.

On sunday we had a great lesson with the sweetest family, Alberto and Katherine. We started by reading verses from Alma 32, (I invite you all to read that chapter) we explained what exactly is faith, which brought us to Jesus Christ. We then explained his ministry and his infinite atonement through which makes it possible that we are forgiven of our sins and all that may be unfair in life can be made right through the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ. we explained the restoration of the Gospel through the Profet Joseph Smith. As we recited the First vision, it was as if the Holy ghost descended over us and bore testimony of that experience. That moment when Joseph saw God the father is one of the most crucial points in history, if that moment truly happened... then nothing else matters more. I know it happened, i know that Joseph knew it and I too, know that God knew it. Joseph's words are so precious, he said  "I saw a pillar of light exactly over my head, above the brightness of the sun, which descended gradually until it fell upon me. When the light rested upon me I saw two Personages, whose brightness and glory defy all description, standing above me in the air. One of them spake unto me, calling me by name and said, pointing to the other—This is My Beloved Son. Hear Him!

I love this work, im beggining to understand its importance! Im so very grateful for all the mistakes, and dumb stuff ive done, because they have made me who I am. "Adam fell that men might be and men are that they might have Joy!". 2 nefi 2:25

I no perfect! No where close but im getting better! Im still Goofy, im getting faster at running! Ive been doing cartwheels in the streets! I love making people laugh! I love to see people have Joy, because thats the whole point of life! 

We also had exchanges with Elder Sigman ( he speaks korean!) So rad!!!

Also every year theres a big christmas concert for all the missionaries, and Sister Bacon (the Director) asked me to play drums for it, so thats gonna be exciting! I let ya know how it goes!!!

Anywayss i love you all keep up the smiles, and Dont give up when it gets hard cuz thats when we lose blessings! 

We are also the only spanish Elders in all of Santa Monica so we have given 7ish Priesthood blessings in the past 2 weeks so that has been a humbling and amazing experience !

Saludos!
