I'm hoping that Elder Eliason will soon be settled enough to start sending updates for the blog! Right now I am just sharing parts of my letters and emails, and there are just some things that are between a missionary and his mom! :)
Kooper flew out Tuesday morning at 11:30. I was able to talk to him at about 2:30 that afternoon. He called from the mission home. He sounded great! He said he still hasn't felt 100% but he was okay! He had to keep his call short because they were already being sent out to knock on doors! He didn't know where he was going to be placed yet. Like I said, there was not a lot of time to talk so I didn't get too many details.
A few hours later I got this sweet text and picture!
First day out for Elder Eliason! As a mom of 2 missionaries, I knew his mom would need a photo!
When I found out it was his first day I told him we had to send a photo to mom! He was excited!

The next morning I got a quick email!
Yea it was great being able to talk to you! So everything you send, it has to go through the mission office. And the address you have to use is Elder Kooper Eliason 1008 W. Sanetta Nampa, Idaho 83651! And if you send packages, you have to send it through the post office priority mail! I would like something soon because it would be nice:) But I'm only allowed a certain amount of time on the computers to let everyone know I'm okay. My trainer and new companion is Elder Knighton from Clinton, Utah. He has been out for nine months. It's kind of different actually doing the work, it was kinda scary proselyting haha! But oh well it will only get better, just have to work harder! Oh and my first area is the Nampa South 10th and 22nd wards! Stuck in the city:( But all of the new elders are so let's hope I get to go out in the sticks:) I think we do transfers every 6 weeks though, but who knows what will happen? Well I made it and look forward to hearing from you! Love ya!
And finally today, 2 weeks after he left, I got an email with words that a mom loves to read! Check out the first line. Makes me happy! :)
Ha I'm actually having a lot of fun now!
But I live in an apartment right now, the people we were supposed to live with, their house flooded! But I'm in a walking area... been walking at least more than 5 miles a day! But Monday is my pday so I will email you more then! Im just on the computer because we got a new missionary last night so we are at the family history center! Bye!
I Love My Missionary!!
