New Adventures Await! written May 13, 2013
Finally, the call came! I'm being transferred to a new area
tomorrow! It's a very bittersweet time in my life right now. On the one
hand, I'm really excited to go to a new area and meet new people and get
a change in scene. On the other hand, I'm going to really miss the
people here in the Far Rockaway branch.
Sister Phiri and daughter from Zambia. She once served me boiled caterpillers!
They are such sweet, loving
people. In sacrament meeting yesterday, the primary had a Mother's Day
program where all the little kids got to go up and say something about
their mom. It was the sweetest meeting ever. It's so hard to say goodbye
to these people who have been like my family for the last six and a
half months. I wish I had my camera cord so I could send you some of the
pictures I took yesterday. This branch will forever be my home away
from home. I don't know how my next area can compare with this one.
Primary Children in the Far Rockaway Branch
Yesterday was such a weird day because I got to talk with you guys,
then the rest of the day I was saying goodbye to everyone. Those are
two things I don't do very often, let alone on the same day.
Emilia Lima and her son.

and I just made a blitz to visit as many people as we could before the
day ended. And that's our plan for today too. It is fun to see everybody
one more time and I'll hopefully be able to come back someday and see
them all again.
The O'Reagan Family from the Far Rockaway Branch
But anyways, I'll find out tomorrow where I'm headed and who my new
companion will be. It will definitely be a new adventure; one that I'm
excited for. I'll have lots to tell you all next week!
Love,
Elder Erickson
