I hope you are all doing well ! Hopefully you're all doing well in school, work, and all your daily activities!
This past week has been crazy! So we thought that we were gonna be staying together, Elder Edwards and I, but the first batch of visa-waiters got there visas! They were ones that came out 6 weeks before me! And so yeah, that happened Tuesday and transfers were Wednesday and they transferred Elder Edwards out to another area in Pocatello to be a Zone Leader...and they kept me in the Pocatello Highland Stake and brought in my new companion Elder Asay (pronounced Acey) here to Highland. He is great! He is just as fresh as me! He has only been out in the field for 6 weeks! He entered the MTC in August! So we are some greenies running the Highland stake! haha We are pretty much follow-up training each other! Its been awesome so far! Both of us combined have been out about 6 months haha...so its crazy but we love it ! Things are going well! We are finding more people and the same baptismal dates we have are still progressing so that's good! We're looking to set more baptismal dates this next week!
But yeah that's the big news ! We've been tracting a lot more just to try and find people to teach, whether they be members, non members, less actives! And ALSO I GOT A COAT! We were tracting and we met this russian guy named Frank, and his son. They're both in the army and they loved us and they were giving us stuff they didn't need and they had a winter coat...trench coat-ish style! Ha so Franks son gave it to me! It was a Huge blessing for sure! Its blue and its goes well over my blue suit! So yeah, no more worries on the coat mom and dad! haha it was perfect timing to because yesterday was like 40's and today is 30's and 20's with the wind chill! We're supposed to get snow tomorrow! Pretty crazy! haha and all the ward Trunk or Treats are this week...so we'll see if investigators and less-actives come out for that!
But yeah, Elder Asay and I spoke in church yesterday! I spoke about the Book of Mormon and the importance of it! I thought it went well! And then Elder Asay talked about how we can recognize the Spirit! So it went well!
No more golfing this year haha its gotten cold! But today were headed for a zone activiity to play volleyball...ha. But yeah as far as visa's, they're coming along. It's moving alot more smoothly now from what we here. It'll be crazy going from this weather, to Mexico weather! That'll be crazy...but yeah things are well! All is well! The gospel is true! My testimony of it grows every single day! Every time I testify to an investigator or whoever, my witness is strengthened and solidified! I would encourage that we all continue on reading the scriptures daily, praying daily, and attending ALL our church meetings! Doing these things will keep us close to the Iron Rod and will protect us from temptation and evil! When you get a chance, read Helaman 5:12. I think its a scripture mastery, but its a great verse! It talks about building our foundation on the Rock of our Redeemer! If we do that, we will be blessed! I know this to be true! I love you all and wish you a Happy Halloween! Be safe and have fun!
I miss you all and I love you again! Choose the right always!
p.s. There's a picture attached of me golfing on last Monday.
Love, Elder Eliason
