Dang it!! I'm getting transferred out of Richmond. I'll be honest, I am not happy to leave. I've been here for 7 months and it's become my home. These people have become my family... It's kinda like leaving home all over again. So I'm not very happy about it, but I know it's what God wants me to do, so I'm going to go wherever he sends me and work my face off. And it's going to be good! I have to have a good attitude about it. And it really will be good, there are wonderful people everywhere. :D Life's great.
Church got cancelled yesterday because of the weather, that was really crazy. There was only 6-7'' but in Indiana, that's a lot. So we went out and shoveled a bunch of people's driveway's, haha that was fun. Todd & Melissa are doing absolutely fantastic. They've been reading the Book of Mormon and have been loving it. They're very open and in tune with the spirit, and it's been teaching them a lot. We had them over at the Shaws yesterday to watch General Conference with them since church was cancelled, and they handled the 2 hours very well. They are preparing to be baptized March 28, they accepted a date this past week. The ward has done an amazing job at fellowshipping them, and they have progressed really well. That's one of the biggest reasons why I'm upset about leaving is that I won't be able to see them progress all the way to baptism! And those services are some of the coolest ever. I'm going to see if the mission President will let me visit that day so I can be there. I've gotten really close to their family. Going to miss them. Going to miss a whole lot of other people too... But life goes on.
Well, I'll e-mail once I find out what my new address and area is and all that good jazz!! I have honestly no idea what's going to happen or where I'm going. It'll be an exciting transfer meeting tomorrow!! :D I hope you all have an absolutely wonderful week!! I love you all!! :D
-Love, Elder Ellis
P.S. some cool pics :D
