Week 20

Nothing to really mention.  I skyped you all yesterday. Oh. Yesterday was my 200 day on the mission at 1 o'clock. Wow. I have been out for 6.5 months. Crazy.

Love you all,

Elder Daniel Eliason

Week 19

Sorry for the short email this week. I spent most of my time writing to mom, telling her when we're going to talk next week on Christmas.  One brief question to whoever has the answer:

Is it true that all the Spanish branches in Arizona are closed?

Love,

Elder Daniel Eliason

Week 18

Apparently, there have been issues in the mission. Not only do we have to protect ourselves from false accusations from others, we now have to protect ourselves from false accusations from our companions as well. Recently, missionaries have been sent home for these types of issues. It is a new rule that we are to avoid any contact with people other than just a handshake.

I found out that neither I or my companion is moving this transfer. I will be with him for 6 more weeks.

I have a gift I will be sending home, but it will be late for Christmas. I am waiting for one more piece.

There are new rules on music as of today. One rule being no burned CD's.

Also, those lithium batters lasted 4 months and some 400 pictures. I finally replaced them last month.

Week 17

 So I don't have much to say this time.

I have been complimented a lot on my handshake. Firm, but not hard. 

That is actually everything I had to say.

I have some pictures though. One moment..........

These pictures are of an arrow head that a dinner appointment gave us. He made them himself. They are actually pretty sharp. I picked the one that looked see-through-ish. It is obsidian, sort of a naturally made glass.
