Week 27 - Hello everyone!!

May 26, 2014
    Well, this week was pretty fantastic. Aaron and Shannon came to church!! It was awesome to have them there. There were a few other investigators there as well, but they're our big focus right now. Trying to get some awesome fellowship for them, and so far it's going pretty good. High hopes for those two, just gotta get them to live the word of wisdom!! And some other stuff. Me and Price are just super excited for them.

    The weather here changed from like super cool to super hot in a month, and it's just jumping all over the place. Indiana weather.... can't do much about it. GO BAPTIZE SOME PEOPLE, THAT'S WHAT WE'LL DO ABOUT IT!!!! We met with Mike this week, and he said he was THIS CLOSE to calling us and saying the 26th of April was going to work, all the way back then. But apparently Satan got in the way or something... But he's still doing good, he should make it in June. 

    Don't know what else to talk about, fell in a river earlier today. Oh yeah! I got in another bike accident on Thursday, that was like my 4th or 5th since I've been in Muncie. I'm glad I got in so many long boarding accidents back home, these bike things don't even phase me. God's gonna hospitalize me just for saying that..... Knock on wood. It has also healed really fast. Luckily, we have lots of doctors doing residency in our ward. By the way, does anyone know a Jordan Wagstaff? Apparently he's from Sandy and graduated from Jordan High School in 2011 or 2012 or something. He used to serve up here. Chocolate taste so good, but granola bars are so much better. Life is wonderful.

    We had a bunch of Memorial Day activities with the 2 wards today, those were fun. We had a 5k run, which was pretty sweet. Anyways, have a great week everyone!!! Love ya!! :D

"All I know is that someone needs cinnamon rolls. Out of the way!" - Brad LaTour's caption to this photo that he snapped and posted on Facebook.

I ran up the curb and hit the side walk. It's healed a lot since Thursday & looks a lot better.

Week 26 - Another week in Muncie!!

May 19, 2014
    Woot!! Another great week in Muncie!!! So happy I didn't get transferred, And our new Zone leader, Elder Chamberlain, is sweet!!!! I love him so much. I love him so much, I dumped a gallon of cold water when he was taking a shower! Haha he's got a great plan to get back though, and he won't tell me what it is... And he did dump water on me first a week ago, so... yeah. Haha we're really good friends, he was in our zone over in Marion before he moved here, so it's sweet that he's living with us now. LOVE HIM!!!!

    WE met a sweet couple, Aaron and Shannon!!! They're coming to church next week, love them too!!! WOOT LIFE ROCKS!!! Sorry, gotta go, ran out of time. :D Love you all!

-Elder Ellis :D

      They made a birthday cake for a member, Kimberlie Hall. Awesome Elders!

Week 25 - Transfers!!!

May 12, 2014

     So it turns out I'm staying here! and so is Elder Price. So I guess its same old, same old. I really thought I was leaving, and I really wasn't gonna mind it. I like change, and a new start would've been nice. Another 6 weeks in Muncie!!!!! Woot!! I really do love Muncie, so it'll be a blast. Elder Carter's staying too. It'll be a party! :D

     Brittany finally came to church, so did Zimmack, Ty and Ryan!! Man, we gotta get all these people baptized, they need Jesus more. Samantha needs to come to church and get baptized, too. WHATever. It'll be weird if I ever leave this place. It's a blast though!! :D

     It's getting SOOOO HOT. Its either way too cold, or too hot. Indiana weather is not the greatest. But it's not as bad as it could be, and there's a lot of work to get done, so woot. Anyways, Love you all!!!! Have a fantastic week!! :D

-Love Elder Ellis

                                    Doing Service in Muncie, Indiana May 2014

Week 24 - Stake Conference!!!

So it was Stake Conference this past weekend, and it was AWESOME!!!! Best stake conference I have ever been to, I received so much guidance from Heavenly Father. It was so cool!! Our Stake President is SO amazing!! He is completely missionary minded, he devotes everything he can to the work. He is truly "Hastening the work" as we've been commanded to do. LOVE HIM!!! And our mission president and his wife spoke as well! It was great!!! Loved it so much.

     WE met a cool couple, Amy and George, and they had a great spiritual experience with us teaching the first lesson. Having a member in lessons helps a lot!!! Everyone at home, go teaching with the missionaries and fellowship them non-members!!! It makes a big difference in the converting process for the investigator to have a friend. It was one of my favorite lessons ever, and I have high hopes for them.

    We're teaching a lot of people right now, and it gets kinda crazy sometimes, but being busy is good. Really good. There's a good chance Noah, Melissa's son, is gonna get baptized this weekend, and we hope he'll make it there. Some one that the sisters are teaching wants me to baptize her, which is a great honor, and then Kizzy, Noah's 8 year old cousin, wants Elder Price to baptize her!! So we'll both get to baptize someone in the same day!! :D it's gonna be a really cool experience.

     Elder Price is awesome by the way, I don't say enough about him. He's literally the funniest kid I've ever met, and its been great serving with him for the past 3 months. I'll miss him when we get split up, which is going to be next week because it's transfers May 13th, and we all know we won't stay together. If I leave, I think I'm going to Northern Kentucky, which would be sweet!!!! But its like 50-50 if I leave or if Price leaves. He's a fantastic missionary. Best of luck to him! Love that guy!!!!

   Well, another great week ahead. Thanks for all the prayers and everything else you all do!!! I feel strength beyond my own everyday, and I know that every prayer you guys say makes a big difference, in everyone's lives. I Love you all so much!!! Have a fantastic week!!

P.S. They're letting us Skype now! For Mother's Day!! It's gonna be great!! :D
