This is my 7th week in Poteau, and it's going great!!
I got a new companion, Elder Swanson, who has been out for 9 months. He's stoked to be in a branch! He was in his last area for 6 months, that seems so weird to me, as I've only had 3 months in each area. I bet it's bittersweet, but I'm glad he's here!
We had a wonderful week, we were able to contact a lot of people who we have had trouble with in the past, and we're ready to dig in and get to work.
One of the many great things that happened this week - Elder Hurst and I tracted into a man near a less-active's house, and he said we could come back on thursday, which is transfer day. We barely made it in time, and when we knocked on the door, a lady answered and said that they were busy making dinner. We talked with her for a little bit, then she let us in for "a minute". After talking for "a minute" we asked if we could sit down and have a short discussion. 20 minutes later, we committed them to read and pray about the Book of Mormon, and set up a return appointment. The Lord really does open the hearts of men (and the doors of men!) as we work diligently and obediently!!
I hope y'all have a week as warm as Poteau's week is going to be! ;)
Love,
Elder Eliason
