Elder Michael Eliason: Week 46: "my life in 4 paragraphs" episode ? of 104

This week was purty good.

I got food poisoning!!☠️☠️ At a zone conference (missionary meeting with about 30-40 missionaries) we had lunch, and I guess something was really bad in something I ate. That was Wednesday at around noon, and about 24 hours later I started feeling really sick. This is where one of the most obvious miracles I've ever seen comes in!! I knew that we had lots going on that day, and I knew that I couldn't function in lessons feeling the way I did, so as I was laying on the floor trying to get comfortable, I said a little prayer promising that I would give 100% if the Lord would ease the pain. He eased it, and I gave it. I had one of the most spiritual, productive evenings of my mission!!! We committed a lady to baptism that I didn't have that much faith in, we were able to set up a return appointment with a lady who has been extremely prepared for the Plan of Salvation, and we were able to feel an increase of the Spirit wherever we went. Not even 3 minutes after our last appointment of the night, I was driving us home when I felt suuuuuper sick to my stomach. My companion thought I was just trying to fake it, but I pulled over and exited the vehicle while making much haste, and was able to get to the grass on the side of the road before I let loose the contents of my stomach. We made it home safely, but that was definitely not the last time I vomited that night. To be honest, it was probably the most painful sickness I've ever had.

0/10 I would not recommend.

There are a lot of people progressing towards baptism here, it's super cool to see the commitment that these people have! It is always such a good feeling to be a missionary! There are so many different ways to do missionary work, and you're always helping someone new with their individual concerns and challenges, so it's never boring.

I bought a little study journal for when I have questions or spiritual impressions. It's been awesome to see how if I remember the question I asked 5 minutes ago, I get answers!! But seriously, I would encourage all of you to get a study journal. It has helped me deepen my spiritual learning, and I have definitely received more revelation because of it.
Elder Richard G. Scott taught, “Knowledge carefully recorded is knowledge available in time of need. Spiritually sensitive information should be kept in a sacred place that communicates to the Lord how you treasure it. This practice enhances the likelihood of your receiving further light” (“Acquiring Spiritual Knowledge,” Ensign, Nov. 1993, 86)

Sorry if I droned on, only the true homeboys look at more than the pictures tho
