We got transfer calls this week! I requested in a letter to my mission president to go to Kansas and to serve with a particular Elder, and I'm going! This will be the fourth state that I have served in, so that's pretty cool. My companion will be Elder Franks, I served near him in Arkansas. The area that I am headed to is Parsons, KS. It's another branch, so I am looking forward to really getting to know the members there. It's been a really cool opportunity to get to know the members really well here in Poteau. As it's going to be very nice out, I really want to try riding bikes and walking to places within biking/walking range.
One of the members here is a convert of under 6 months, and he is now the branch mission leader, and he's doing a very good job. We have been finding some people to teach, and the Elders here are really going to focus on fellowship those people.
One of my least favorite part of being a missionary is packing up all of my stuff. It always seems that I can never get all of it packed, and I always find random things 5 seconds before we need to go to the transfer point! This transfer, however, is different. I thought I would work smarter and keep it simple, by having some vacuum bags and working a little bit every day. To any missionary out there I would really recommend that approach!
This is our last transfer with our mission president, President Loveland. It's been a good experience getting to know him, and I know that he has been foreordained to be the mission president in this specific mission at this specific time. I am also looking forward to working with President Strong, who will come in next transfer.
I hope that y'all have a marvelous week! Happy Mothers day!!!!!🌹💐🎉
Love,
Elder Eliason
