So I just wanted to say that I love you all, and I hope no one's getting tired of hearing that ;). Another amazing week, Lots of lesson taught, and many new investigators found. The Bartleys are making awesome progress, and the 2 Millers kids are on date for the 22nd, and they're totally going to get baptized. We just hopefully won't have to push it back another week. Amanda finally got confirmed yesterday, our recent convert Chris went and picked them up. He's such a fantastic guy. He'll make a great missionary! Bobby and Patty and their kids would be coming to church, but they don't have a car right now, and a family of 4 isn't the easiest to transport. But we're trying.
We met this sweet guy who just came up and talked to us in the bus station asking us if we were Mormons, and we got into a sweet discussion about God and the Book of Mormon, and we're meeting with him again tomorrow, pretty excited for this guy. He's from like Jamaica or something and he has sweet dreads. haha His name is Steven.
We also met some really nice guy who invited us into his home, then went off about how he's pretty sure the second coming is going to happen this summer, and he thinks he's a prophet, and I don't think we'll ever see him again... But he's a really nice guy. Nothing like some of these people in the Bible Belt ;). Lots of Pentecostals around here.
WOW we had a lot of snow, and we're just supposed to have more this week. :D Its crazy up here, its usually in the teens or less with the wind chill, but Friday and Saturday weren't too bad. All we have to do is dress warmly, and Jesus makes it warmer for us missionaries anyways, I haven't had any problems with being too cold. Preparation + Faith = Blessings!! Spiritual geometry, that's a book someone should write one day.
Well life is amazing, thank you everyone who sends emails, I really appreciate it. I hope that you guys are uplifted by these ones, and if there is anything in particular you want to know, feel free to ask! The Lord is progressing his work, and we see it everywhere around here. The Lord does this work, and the Spirit is truly amazing. Gratitude is the gateway to all blessings!!! Said by Thomas S. Monson. So lets be grateful for all that we have, cause every single one of us has been given so much in life. If we have the Gospel, we have more blessings than we can count. And Earth is just beautiful. So are pandas, I'm going to raise one when I get back. Love you all!!!!
Love
-Elder Ellis :D
