This week was crazy. We were in Joplin, Lamar, Springfield, Branson, Bentonville, and Springdale this week. It was very tiring. We had 3 different missionary meetings. A district meeting, a meeting with a family services guy, and Lynn G Robbins came to our mission!!
It was wonderful to hear from Elder Robbins. He is a very cool fellow.
He talked a lot about how mission life will help us as parents and spouses to deal with problems and move past imperfections to love and support and nourish.
He shared with us a chart, about 4 types of leadership/parenting;
High Love, High Expectations: What Christ taught. Lead by example. Teach.
High Love, Low Expectations: Buddy Mentality, Complacency, Comfort.
Low Love, High Expectations: Enforcer Mentality, Policing, Hiding.
Low Love, Low Expectations: Lazy, Counterproductive.
We should all strive to have high love and high expectations for those around us! It makes the world a better place.
I love sharing the Gospel!! It's so great to be able to see myself coming closer to Christ. What a wild ride :)
Also we had church this week. It was awesome
Love,
Elder Eliason!
