Yes..... this has been an interesting week. It has been both incredible, worrysome, and interesting.
First the good news =
The other day we were heading over to a recent convert's house to try and visit her, when a car past by, stopped, backed up, and shouted ELDERES!!!!! we turned around, came back and began talking with this member from Pan De Azucar (a little city about 10 km from Piriápolis). He gave us this referance of a lady named Gloria. About an hour later, we found ourselves at the house of this 50 year old lady talking with her. SHE IS AMAZING!!!!! So she doesn't know if there is a God or not, but is willing to search for answers to find comfort for the recent death of her mother. We scheduled a time for later (she was busy) and came back Friday (kind of against doctors orders............. but we both thoght it was worth it) The charla was very spiritual and we were able to answer a lot of questions. during the charla, she was writing down all of the scriptures we were using so that she could review them later. There were multiple times during the lesson where she said "I am very interested in this."It was a really good experiance and Im excited to visit them again.
We also found two really cool new investigators by feeling prompted to go back to a house and contact it. That was a special moment for me too.
I consider both of these experiences miracles
In all, now we have 10 investigators!!!!!:D I have never had this many in my mission. Of course some are more prepared than others, but Im just excited to help out people:)
Okay now for the bad news= the knee of my comp is a bit swollen and hurts to use. WE had to do divisions Saturday. haha yesterday, we actually had to spend the day traveling to Montevideo and back so my comp could sign a paper excusing him from voting (it's mandatory to vote in Argentina and if you dont, you have to pay $1000 and a year in jail). I kept telling him that if we just stayed in Piriápolis it could lead to fun exciting stories that he could tell for generations, but he decided to go the calm tranquile route.
Anyways, we're praying he can heal up quickly,
I love yall so much and pray that yall can have an amazing week,
Elder Eliason
I just got this from my Mission president:
Did you wear out Elder Vega's knees? I was chuckling with sister Cook about our walk of a block and a half to get money from the ATM. Later that day and for the next three days my knees were pretty sore. Your pace is rápido. I got your message about an office assignment for him. Will consider. Presidente Cook
#I love service!!!:D we helped build another house
