The Book of Elder Eliason

(my letter this week is scripture!!!!!!!:D)
chapter 3 (change 3)
58. and it came to pass that in the middle of the first year of the reign of President Cook, the time of Elder Eliason in Maldonado drew to a close.
59. The final day of this age was spent packing and singing the song of redeeming love with the saints of zion. I FREAKIN LOVE THOSE GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! for if thou lookest in the pictures that will follow, the story of a glad Noche De Hogar (family home evening) will be brought forth among the readers of this letter. 
60. And he who looketh upon these photos with there might, the same layeth up in store, and is disappointed not, but will learn of the wonderful night spent with the some of the coolest people in the world.
61. But first, I would exhort you to try a test. Try to balance 11 nails on top of one other. Like all of our lives, it is difficult to do, but if you balance it all between going to church, reading the scriptures, and praying (OLA) it all falls into place:D (yes, parenthesis and smiley faces are now scriptural terms. Im pretty sure I can find an emoji somewhere in the book of mormon;D)
62. As the night drew to a close, the children of Israel watched the mission call opening of Elder Eliason on you tube, ate great food (EMPANADAS AND TORTAS FRITAS!!!!!!!!), sang, read scriptures, and bid farewell. 
63. And so ended change three in the land of our inheritance

chapter 4
1. I FREAKIN LOVE MY NEW AMAZING COMP ELDER SIMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D 
for he has proven to be a doppelganger in personality (they are a lot alike) of Elder Eliason. However, he has ADHD. 
2.Great joy has been found in teaching, preaching, spreading the gospel of Christ, telling stories of glad times, and quoting all movies from strange brew to Elf. From the Three musketeers (the one with charlie sheen) to Mobsters and Mormons. From the Avengers to Baptists at our Barbeque.
3. It has come forth that he finds great joy in the fabelhaven series, nerf sword fights, telling stories, and spreading the word of God.
4. Also, he is overly hyperactive, positive and amazing, but can be incredibly spiritual and personal when the occasion demands.
5. For behold In the second day upon entering the land of Varela, many cows were seen. The country spreading far and wide about the small pueblo brought great peace to the minds of the servants of our lord.
6. And it came to pass that in that day (literal day) many people were visited, Chicita being one of them.
7. This soft voiced, kind, 91 year old lady brought forth the brightest smile that Elder Eliason had ever seen. Her love and kindness set forth an example of what I really want to show forth to all here in this beautiful land. Helping us to teach one of her great friends in the old folks home brought joy to the soul of this young missionary. 
8. It has also been interesting to see the blessings and hand of the lord. Just before Elder Eliason arrived in Varela, some things fell right into place, in preparation of the Companionship of Elder Sims (THE COOLEST MOST AMAZINGEST PERSON EVER!!!!!!!!!) One of which being a sudden spiritual high in two menos activos to the point of asking to accompany the missionaries on visits.
9. There have been many great lessons and experiences this week, but the time given to Elder Eliason to write draws nigh.
10. to close, he would just like to express gratitude to the lord for helping him deliver his first spanish sacrament talk to a branch of 18 people this past sunday
11. Through slightly broken spanish (Its a ton better than it was, but Im still working on it), the spirit helped others to understand his message.

I love you all so much,
La Iglesia es verdadero,
Elder Eliason

If you have seen the studio c on photo bombing, you will understand
