Wahoo!! Had such an amazing weekend, we got to go to Muncie 3 days in a row!!!!! Talk about blessings!! :D Had an amazing Zone Conference and Fireside Friday with President and Elder Wilford W. Anderson, it was awesome. Got to see so many old friends, with 2 stakes there it was 1/3 of the mission. 3 of my previous companions were there! All of my companions were there except for 1 who's in Ohio, and the other who finished his mission at the end of our companionship. Haha that was pretty cool. I've had really good companions, all except 1, but I'm pretty sure he's better by now. I hope so at least. :D He's a wonderful child of God. So yeah, off that rant. It was stake conference the next 2 nights, and I saw so many members from Muncie!!!! It was absolutely wonderful to see their smiling faces again. It was very spiritually enlightening as well. Our investigator that drove us, Bob, got to meet the mission president as well!!! It was his favorite part of the whole 3 days. He said he's never met someone with so much love and outpouring of the spirit. The mission president told me afterward that he wants to come to Bob's baptism, which is really cool. It was a great step in Bob's spiritual progress. I want to be here for his baptism so bad!!! 3 more weeks till next transfer, and all he has to do is give up coffee. He can do it. Haha I love that man. And President Porter, he has so much faith and is so inspiring. I've learned so much from him!! Every time I talk to him I feel the spirit so strongly. I love him a lot and consider him as a true friend. :D He's going to be like the next prophet or something. I can't even describe what it's like being around him.
So yeah!! It was an absolutely wonderful weekend. Trying to take more vitamins since the mission president's wife said that it would help boost my energy levels. I've been super duper exhausted all the time. But it's a good thing!! Always more work to do. If everything goes to plan, with a lot of God's grace, Destiny and Chandler are gonna get baptized this week, but it's still up in the air. You guys should pray for their parents, cause they need a lot of it. So do they themselves, they've got a rough house life. 10 kids from at least 3 different fathers, unmarried parents and not enough to provide for all of them. The kids themselves are great, these 2 at least. And their brother, who got baptized little less than 2 years ago. We'll see what happens!! Thanks again for all the support and love! I love you all and wish you all a wonderful week!
-Love, Elder Ellis
P.S. IT IS SO COLD OVER HERE, the windchill makes it drop a ton. It snowed really badly last night and today, first real snow of the year. Which bodes really bad for Indiana, its used to mild winters, almost no snow. Now it's already got snow in the middle of November... Haha which is nothing to everyone back in Utah. Well, I'm glad we've got a house to live in! Think how terrible it'd be to be out in that cold with no house...Holy cow that'd be horrendous. :D Thanks for giving me a house God!! :D
