Hey y'all!
This week was pretty short, as our last preparation day was on Wednesday. The biggest highlight was General Conference, which was great!
We are setting some more baptismal goals with people, so that people really know our purpose in being here on missions and coming to their homes. When people know our purpose, I feel like they are more likely to keep commitment and to progress in the gospel.
Addresses are so hard out here!! It is so annoying to try and find a house number on a street where there's hardly any mailboxes! We spent about 2 hours trying to find an address, in an old part of a small town. The street was sparse and did not have that many houses, but we started knocking on doors and we found that most of the people there are family. But none of them knew the house nor the person we were looking for! We didn't find the house, but we had some great experiences sharing our message and our testimony about the restoration and inviting people to come closer to Christ. One thing that I've learned recently is that even if you don't end up doing what you set out to do, if you are listening to the Holy Spirit the Lord will guide you to where he needs you to be and where you can do what he wants you to do.
What was your favorite talk from conference? Mine was Elder Bednar's on meekness, but they were all amazing! A scripture to go along with meekness is, Alma 13:27-28.
It's rainy here, hopefully it's nice where you are! Have a great week!
Love,
Elder Eliason
I found the BEST rocking chair(and matching footstool😉) to watch conference in :)
Elder Swanson masterfully positions the ball into a very sticky spot
I thought my family would appreciate this sign, as it's coming into "that season" yet again!
