OH MY GOSH I LOVE MY LIFE!!!!! haha so this week has been absolutely amazing, I got transferred to Muncie Indiana, and just in the past 4 days we've been getting sweet work done. My companion is on his last transfer, so he goes home in like 5 weeks, haha which makes me end up doing a lot of the work, which I'm perfectly fine with, working hard is what I want to do. He's a really sweet guy, super strong testimony, deep doctrinal insights, and really nice. His name is Elder Ewell and he's from Murray, Utah. Yeah, he's way excited to go home.
Another awesome thing about transfers is that we're with the zone leaders in the same apartment, and they are the funnest guys in the world. Elder Collimore is from American Fork and it's his last transfer as well. Haha but he's like the coolest guy in the world, and our zone is tied for the top zone in the mission. So we have sweet zone leaders haha. The other one is Elder Carter who is from Morgan, Utah (The same place as President Porter and 3 Senior Couples) and is related to the senior couple I was working with down in UC. So yeah, I'm so excited about this transfer. And our apartment is super nice and it's above an animal hospital owned by a member, which is pretty cool.
So on Saturday we had a sweet lesson with Chris, a single man in his 20's, and we went in planning on following up with the BoM, but I felt impressed to turn it into the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and so by the end he agreed to being baptized! So we've got him on date for February 8th, and he came to church yesterday and got some sweet fellowship from some members. Man we have an awesome ward here, that guy is totally going to get baptized. We've also got Amanda, a 15 year old who's mom is a member but inactive, and she was planning on getting baptized this Saturday, but didn't come to church yesterday, so we have to postpone it until she comes to church.
Another miracle we had on Saturday, we went to follow up on a potential's address, but it was a complete failure, but when we went to the house 2 doors down, we found this sweet lady who wants the Gospel in her life. We taught her lesson 1 right there and she agreed to get baptized on February 15. Woot woot!! Her name is Daisha, and she was in tune with the spirit during that lesson. We've got 3 people on date, and 2 of those we got yesterday out of nowhere. We've also found like 5-6 new investigators just in the past 3-4 days, and a whole lot of other potentials. It's been going great!!! And we're going to work just as hard this week and do awesome. Go Indiana!! Oh Yeah, and this girl Zeni that we met on the bus said in the middle of us talking to her that she felt the Holy Spirit from us, and we hadn't even talked about the Holy Ghost yet... Tons of potential there. She's getting baptized (prophecy) haha
Well, one amazing week over, and the rest of the mission still to come! I am so excited to work my butt off here.The Lord strengthens us to do His will, I have definitely felt strength beyond my own keeping me going. The Lord loves every single one of you, and I do too!!! Feel free to tell me about your lives, and shoot any questions you have. There is nothing like the peace that comes from the Savior. Good luck with all of your personal endeavors and you're all amazing!!!! And I mean it, every single one of you!!! I Love you all!!!! Have an amazing week!
-Love,
Elder Ellis
P.S. My new address is 1505 W Riggin Road, Muncie, Indiana 47303
