Guess what!!!!! I got transferred to Richmond, Indiana! Woot! Back to Indiana I go! Haha, and its in the Muncie stake, so amazingly I got here right in time for the stake priesthood meeting, and I got to go back to my old building! And see all the amazing people from my wards up there! All the men at least. It was a really cool experience. And we have zone conference tomorrow, so I'll get to see all the missionaries again! Haha I am so blessed. (Gave Elder Price a HUGE Hug haha :D)
So Richmond, Indiana.... is amazing!! I love it here so much. I have a fantastic companion (Elder Horne) and he is just great, love him to death!! We have seen immense miracles every single day, finding prepared people, super spiritual lessons, and things are just amazing. Good job, Man upstairs! :D Cause its all Him thats doing it, and its just cool to see it happen. I do truly love it here. Oh yeah, my address is 117 1/2 N. 11th, Richmond, Indiana 47374. So yeah, its amazing.
Oh my goodness, so the biggest miracle this week is Steph and her family. She is a single mother of three boys that we started teaching my first day here. The boys are Braden(7), Chase(5), and Riley(2). She is having rough time with life, and she wants to raise her kids to know God. We've had super spiritual lessons, they came to church yesterday, and she's preparing to get baptized August 30. She's amazing. And her kids! haha they are so hilarious! We had dinner with the family at a member's home saturday, and Penelope is doing an amazing job of fellowshipping them, and she loves them all so much. I also understand why its so hard for parents to focus during sacrament meeting. Haha, they really are just a miracle.
We also found a few other families, which are planning on coming to church next week, which is gonna be sweet. Gave an amazingly spiritual church tour to Damon, single dad of 3 kids, and was gonna bring them Sunday, but his ex-girlfriend kept them for the weekend after a fight that they had... Which was very sad to hear, he's had a rough weekend. But he's another miracle.
So, all in all, its been an amazing week, and the work is progressing. God works miracles everyone!! he really does. There was no reason for any of this to happen with these people, but it did. So keep believing, and keep working hard! I love you all!
-Elder Ellis
p.s. Never be afraid to pray for these people, specifically Damon. He needs it. And Steph's family just cause their amazing and Satan's gonna start working on them really hard in the next few weeks. Thanks!
