This week was really tiring. We had 2 exchanges, one on Tuesday with Elder Haines and Elder Campbell, from the Monett area. The other one was with Elder Neilsen and Elder Parker, in the Aurora area. They are all some great missionaries!! They inspire me.
We also had zone conference. It taught me a lot, and I really enjoyed it. I got to see some friends I haven't seen in a long time. It makes me feel old!!
Elder Williams and I gave talks in church Sunday, we accounted for 1 youth speaker, what happened was there were 2 youth speakers and a young lady who got her mission call who announced it in church and bore a short testimony. We both frantically went over our talks to see what we could omit but still keep the flow haha. I feel like we both did well. I have done bullet point talks in the past, but for this one I wrote most of it out. I feel like that helped me convey the feelings I have without getting stage fright.
I have had some troubles this week, some hard days and some long days. I know that they are there to help me become something more. We have things we can be, and things we can do. Doing helps us become, and who we are is our nature. Our nature helps us do. I know things will get harder, but I will be stronger as I put off the natural man and become who God knows I can become!
I love my Savior!
Have a great week :)
Love,
Elder Eliason
