Week 23 - He is on top of the Mission!!

What Up!!!

April 28, 2014

Hola como estosas to all humans of America!! and everywhere else. Mike has gotten really busy lately which is a bummer, but hopefully we'll meet with him soon and figure out whats going on. LIFE'S GREAT BY THE WAY!!!! :D   Not much to report, tons of fun stuff happened at the animal house this week, and its been good. 

    Our district won a mission competition and got dinner with our mission president!!! It was sweet. Our zone, and then district, is literally the best in the mission. And our mission is the best out of the 23 missions in whatever region we're in. GO AWESOME MISSION PRESIDENT!!! woot woot!! :D Yeah, go Spirit. Spirit converts people.

     I can never tell what to write in these e-mails, maybe I'll make a sticky note and remember next week. WELL, I love you all!!!  Have a fantastic week!! :D

P.S. If any of you know Fakusafee?? last name. I met his grandma who lives in Cottonwood Heights. She came and visited this week. Super cool lady!!!! :D

Week 22 - YSA Austin!!

April 21, 2014
So, I don't remember if I told you guys that the YSA sisters had passed off Austin to us a month or two ago, but they did, and we've been teaching him since. And guess what? He got baptized this weekend!!! Woohoo!! :D Along with this sweet girl Mecca. They both got baptized and it was the best service I've been to on my mission. So spiritual, it was just amazing. Chantelle (Austin's friend in the YSA)  and Austin's families were both there, and they're all non-members, and their hearts were definitely softened. Hopefully we'll be able to start teaching them soon. We're planning on going by Chantelle's parents this week. GO SPIRIT!!!!!!! Spirit converts people really well. Sorry I forgot my camera (AGAIN) so it might be another week before I can get a picture sent out. But he's a sweet guy! So much energy on Saturday, he was bouncing off the walls. Haha love life!!
I get so scatterbrained sometimes. Here's a picture of me with 2 guinea pigs!! :D  
I Love you all!! Go share the gospel!! Woot!
Oh yeah, Mike's going to get baptized in the next 2 weeks!  :D

Week 21 HOLA!!!

Whats up world!!!! How ya'll doing?? Life is great. Life is good!!! :D
So Austin's getting baptized on Saturday, well planned at least, he was turned over to us from the YSA sisters because of some drama, and he's doing great. He's very spiritually in tune, but kinda emotionally unbalanced, so we hope everything works out. He is a really cool guy though, we're excited!!
   Mike is still doing good, he's excited for next Saturday, and he's going to make a great member. More of the ward needs to get to know him though, he works ALOT. Love that guy to death, we're like best friends. GO MIKE!!! :D
    Not too much to say, weather's getting better, finally can take our suits off! WOOT!!  Let me know if there's anything I can do for any of you! Thanks for everything!!! :D Love you!!
-Elder Ellis

                            This is Christopher!!! He's a sweet guy in our ward. Love him! :D

Week 20 Birthday boy

April 7, 2014
Weird, I totally forgot, but it was my birthday on Thursday!! :D thanks mom, that package was a great reminder!! Thanks to everyone who wished me a happy birthday!! especially Heidi and family, God must have told you that Reese's were my favorite. :D You're the best!!! And mom and dad of course.
     Conference was super sweet!!! This was by far my favorite conference ever, no joke. Elder Holland's talk was by far my favorite, him preparing all of us for the dark times ahead. Since the Lord is hastening his work, Satan is also pushing everything he has to stop this work. It's kind of pointless for him, cause God's going to win no matter what, so Satan's a dummy. Its the beginning of the end... Woohoo!!! Life's great! :D
     Don't know if I talked about Mike yet, but he's super sweet, love all of our lessons with him. He's on date for the 26th, and we're pretty excited for him. He's pretty solid, and he knows the Book of Mormon is true, and ya he a great guy. Love him!! Haha go Mike.
     So don't really know what else to say, life is great, weather's getting better. Haha what's new with you? :D
     Well I love you all, have a fantastic week!! I feel like I forget to write a lot of people back sometimes, and I really hope I don't... But I love you all!!! Rally, a lot! I'm going to go play some sports and get all this energy out. GO MUNCIE!!!!!! :D

-Love Elder Ellis :D

p.s. ohhhhh yeah, there was a huge flood on one of the streets, it was like 3 feet deep, it was super crazy. The water had been pumped out of 2 feet when I took this picture, so it's not as cool as it was... but still crazy.

Week 19 Transfers!!! AHHH

March 31, 2014
Oh my gosh!!!!!! I'm getting transferred!!!! BWahaha just kidding, I'm not. I totally thought I was though, I am really surprised to still be here. I am so happy to still be here though!!!!! :D I LOVE MUNCIE!!!! And me and Elder price have like a ton of people that we need to baptize this transfer, so that's good that we're both still here. I LOVE MUNCIE!! I know I already said that, but repetition is used in the scriptures to emphasize stuff, SO I LOVE MUNCE!!! Haha it rocks.
      SO the baptism with Melissa this weekend went BEAUTIFULLY! Ever since she's stepped out of the water, there's been this glow around her, and it so cool to see the spirit with her so strong. GO MELISSA!!! Now we just need to get her son Noah there, and he's been coming around, so that's good.
     Man, half the time I don't know what to say in e-mails. Weather's good.... It's actually been getting pretty warm, so woo-hoo! Life's great, and I like totally forgot that it was my birthday this Thursday, so that's kinda weird. OOOO General Conference is this weekend!!!! woot!!! LOVE general conference, it's so  sweet. I might send a picture or two later, if I took some... I'll find out. WELL I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH!!!! you rock! :D Have a fantastic week!! :D
This is our awesome district! Sisters Holm, Ellis, and Floyd and Elder McMichael are leaving... sad day, they're all awesome.
