This week I'm writing to you from Fayetteville, Arkansas. This is only the second time I've served in Arkansas. I'm serving with Elder Broadhead. He's been out for about 8 months. He has been here for a couple of transfers, and knows the area well. It's a great place!!
We are doing lots of missionary work here. I'm ready to get into gear and gooooooooo!!!!!
Not much out of the ordinary. Knocking doors, teaching people, eating, studying, etc.
One family we are working with hasn't been to church much since they were baptized. We taught them about faith, and how sometimes you have to take a step before the next step appears on the path. We also talked about how some people just hold onto the rod of iron in the scriptures, but don't walk forward. It was very cool to see that they recognized where they were spiritually. The wife figuratively put her foot down and said "we are GOING to get sealed in the temple!" I have faith that they will. One night we were sleeping and all of a sudden we heard a "BOOMM!!!!" that woke me up. Our whole apartment shook for a couple of seconds. It was a lightning strike somewhere really really close. Then we went back to bed :)
I can really see the hand of the Lord in this area!! It's great to be here :)
Thanks for all of the support and love that you give me!!
Thanks :)
Love,
Elder Eliason
I trained Elder Johnson in Parsons a little bit ago, and this is me with Elder Johnson and the Elder that he's training!!! It was super cool to see them on the transfer loop.
