Elder Jason Elquist, August 17th, 2015

So this last week and a half has been pretty eventful. I was riding my bike and all of the sudden I lost my balance because I was riding my bike with no hands and I went to grab my handle bars to gain my balance and over shot with my right arm and I went flying off my bike.  All of the sudden I heard this loud snap when my right arm/wrist hit the ground. I tried to bike home but my bike was broken and I couldn't feel my right arm.  We walked to hospital and they took some xrays and I found out that I broke my arm and wrist and I saw the xray of where it was broken.  3 days later I went into get some more xrays and a hard cast and the new xrays didn't show any fractures or anything. I did some soft tissues damage to my arm and my wrist is so fragile that if I was to crash or land on my arm it would break. I know that God healed my arm up good so I can work hard but he let it hurt so I learn my lesson to be safe on my bike while on a mission. I know that God can heal anyone regardless of who you are. I know that we can also we healed from the effects of sin.

Elder Jason Elquist, June 1st, 2015

So last week was a good one, we may not have taught that many lessons but by us going out and working as hard as we can we showed the Lord that we are willing to do anything for him.   So this Thursday I get to go and baptize Michelle. She was my investigator that I was teaching in my last area. I am way excited about that.  I have learned that there are tender mercies happening all the time for us. Just the fact that we wake up every morning is a tender mercy. We just need to retrain the way we think and see to be able to understand that no matter what Jesus Christ is helping us along the way.  He wants us to achieve anything and everything. 

I know that no matter who you are and what you have done the Savior Jesus Christ has his arms wide open and is just waiting for you to run to Him. Sin is so evil that you have to run, just like how Jesus taught that principle upon principle. Satan is trying to get you to keep stacking your sin so high that you feel like you can not repent. But we are stupid to think that Christ died on the wooden cross for all the sins and that we cannot repent.  Who are we to say that Christ will not let us repent?  How dare we speak for the perfect speaker, How dare we limit what Christ can do? I challenge all you guys to take Christ atonement and use it in your lives. Christ did not just die for us to repent, He suffered all matter of pain and affliction so He can know how to help us. In the name of Jesus Christ our savior and redeemer, Amen

Catching up with Elder Jason Elquist, May 26th, 2015



Dear Family and Friends,
Today I have almost been out for 8 months and I want to bare my testimony to yall. 
I know that the Church Of Jesus Christ is the lords kingdom once again restored to the Earth(Book of Mormon Introduction last two sentence) and that the Book Of Mormon is the word of god to his prophets here in Americas. I know that Jesus Christ is the Savior and Redeemer of The word and that he is are brother. I know that the Plan of Salvation is true and that we will all be able to live with are family's again and that we will live with Heavenly Farther and his son and our brother Jesus Christ. I know that we are able to repent and become clean from the saving blood of Jesus Christ. It took me along time to do for my self that these things are true. I say these things in the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

So this week is going to be great because Deloris is getting Baptize this Thursday at 6 and she ask me to perform the baptism!

Satan will always try to tear you down after a spiritual experience like he did with all of the prophets. The thing we did to do to make it so that satan and his angles do not have that strong of effect on us is the simple things: Pray, scrpiture study, and going to church(CPR for are spirits)  D&C 10:5. Love you guys

This week has been way good. We taught are investigator Bob Oye this last Tuesday and we just went guns out to find out why he will not get baptize. all he told us was a bunch of excuse but all his excuse have to do with some in his past that he doesn't want to forget.

other then that we talk to all of people, we talk to 100 people this week on the street and we did a lot of biking.

Are mission president decide that the only elders and sister who will have cars will be the YSA, Zone Leaders and sister training leaders. so I am once again in a full time bike area but Hey atleast I love riding my bike.
