Joyful Sleep Walking

Man, I've always heard of this, but never thought it would apply to me. IM TIRED! Haha. I feel like I could sleep for a full 12 hours. Really cool thing though I discovered: While Im proselyting my legs feel fine. I know Im walking really fast and I should be dead, but I feel absolutely no pain or fatigue in my legs while we're walking in the streets between appointments or contacts. Haha I feel it though every time I sit down. Every time. Doctrine and Covenants promises that if we open our mouths everywhere, day and night, we will receive a strength that is unknown to man. I can feel it. It's really cool. I feel like I'll be running on God's power until the end of my mission;D 

Pretty Chill Right:D

WE HAD AN INVESTIGATOR IN CHURCH THIS WEEK!

Her name is Meloni. She has seen the coolest change in her life. We found her a week ago sitting on a bench SUPER Depressed and not knowing where to turn, if God was listening to her, how to make things better. Well. upon arriving at our third visit, she came up to us and happily stated "I READ IT ALL! AND I PRAYED, AND I FELT EXACTLY HOW YOU GUYS SAID I WOULD FEEL!" That was really cool. We, that charla taught her repentance, and the alieve that comes through it. When we passed by Friday she saw us and exclaimed, I read it all again, and am excited for my baptism!" Well That's been really cool. We passed by Sunday morning with some members to walk with her to church for the first time.:D

On top of that, as we were walking in the street the other night we stopped two adolescent girls (19 years old), and began talking. upon asking If they had ever talked to missionaries before, one of them responded "yah, I read the Liahona and Doctrine and Covenants all the time." ......WHAT!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! "Are you a member?" "No" "Can we pass by your house tomorrow?" "Yah no problem." 

Well in this charla with Dina (the 19 year old) and her less active mom, we discovered that missionaries had come for a short time when Dina was 14, then again when she was 16. During both of those times she had expressed her uncertainty towards the church and baptism. However, towards the beginning of the Charla she straight up told us that us coming to talk to her in the street was, in a way, an answer to her prayers, and that now she wants to take this step of baptism. Well Let's just say that she has a baptismal date for he 24th of next month. Please pray for her.

Loreley is doing really well too. She's been out of town, but came back yesterday. We have a charla with her tonight. She's gonna get baptised soon;D

I love this gospel and know it's true. I have seen light's enter the eyes of individuals and change overcome their darker attributes. The spirit is sweeter and more powerful than any worldly possession. As stated in Alma 31:5 in the Book of Mormon:  And now, as the preaching of the word had a great tendency to lead the people to do that which was just—yea, it had had more powerful effect upon the minds of the people than the sword, or anything else, which had happened unto them—therefore Alma thought it was expedient that they should try the virtue of the word of God.

I Know this is true. It is my testimony and my joy.

I love you all so much and hope you have a great week!

Love, Elder Eliason
