Good times are to be had in Centerton!!
This week we were able to find lots of new people to teach, which is good because we weren't able to teach a lot of lessons.
One person is named Jurika. She's so awesome!! We met her on thursday, had a lesson on friday, and she went to church on sunday!! It was such a blessing to meet her, and teaching people is such a blessing as well!!
Throughout the week we have had experiences that have strengthened my faith, not big lightning bolts, but small and simple things (Alma 37:6).
I challenge all of you to Light the World this Christmas season, and with such there are some scriptures that fit really well with the initiative!! The first one is 3 Nephi 11:10-11, where Jesus Christ first comes to the Americas and establishes that He is the light of the world. Then, in 3 Nephi 12:14-16 Jesus Christ is giving a sermon comparable to the Sermon on the Mount, and He says that WE can be the light of the world!! I think it is so cool that we can share the same light that Jesus Christ has, and I believe it is through loving, and serving, and forgiving like He does. The Light the World campaign is really special this year. Our stake president here promised us, in the Bentonville stake, that we can see miracles in our lives, that our love for the Savior will grow, we will see peace in our homes and joy in our lives, and, greatest of all, our lives will be changed. It is going to be a great holiday season, as we all look unto Christ in every thought!!

What a wonderful time to be alive, even though there is great tragedy all around us, there is the foundation of Christ that we can all have!! I love serving God's children, and I hope all of you will serve alongside me!!
Love,
Elder Eliason
