Haha so I realized after we left last week that I forgot to send this letter out... Haha so funny. Oh no, my companion got hit by a car! jk, that didn't happen.
It's been a good past 2 weeks in the land of Montgomery!! My new companion is Elder Hampton, and he has been out on his mission 1 transfer less than I have. For the first time in my whole mission, I am the 'oldest' missionary in the zone!! I've been out about 20 months now, it's crazy. It's really easy to not think about all the stuff I have to do when I get home because of all the things that we have to do. Haha we are always busy, 24 hours a day. Also, our zone is the youngest zone in the mission, every single companionship has brand-new missionaries except for us and the STL's. And a huge group is coming in next transfer too!!! It's like 2 years ago, large influx's of new missionaries coming in. It's been great!! I love all of them so much. Life is wonderful, we're seeing so many miracles. :D Remember to put God first in your life, and He'll remember to put you first in His. Don't make excuses. Wake up early. Sing when its raining. These are just some inspirational thoughts. Don't stay up late. Eat your vegetables. Move to Alaska. Go on roller coasters. Be obnoxious. Make people laugh. Fulfill your destiny.
Some of those got a little not-so inspired, but that's ok. I love you all! Thanks you for your prayers and your support, they truly make a difference. I have felt strength beyond my own my whole mission, and I know part of that is from the prayers of loved ones. So thank you. Have a wonderful week!!!
-Love, Elder Ellis
Haha look at this goofy Elder with a fish in his pocket. Love him.
