Week 31 - Transfers!!

June 23, 2014
So the calls came in this morning... I am officially leaving Muncie!!! After 6 months here, it is time for me to go. Sad day!!! I'll find out who my new companion is and where I'm going tomorrow at Transfers. I thought it would feel really weird, but its not... jk now I'm thinking about it and its starting to feel really weird... Oh well!! I'll find out what goes down tomorrow. I am going to miss this place SO MUCH!!!!!! I Love Muncie!!! This ward is like my family, I'm so close with all of them. It's going to be the weirdest thing ever!!! I really hope my next area is a good one, it's going to be rough leaving here. I have no idea what to expect. I'm guessing I'll go to Fort Wayne, or Kentucky... At least that's what I'm hoping for!!! That would be really cool if it happened. 

      WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN????? No one knows. Except God. And probably President at this point. Well, I'll give you all my new address as soon as I can! The Lord lives and he loves us! Have a wonderful week everyone!!

P.S. Douglas (who's been coming to basketball) came to church on Sunday!! And he's got a date for May 12. Go Douglas!! (even though I won't be here) :D go Elder Price! Get him there with your new companion!! :D

Week 30 - Father's Day

June 16, 2014
Hey, everyone! Hope you all had a great Father's Day!! It was good up here in Muncie, tons of people came to church for it. And church is always amazing. 

   Well, another week in Muncie, Weather is still just jumping all around the place. Life's amazing here, things just keep getting better and better. Lots of people in downtown don't know how to keep commitments, so we're trying to teach more in the rich area's, but the sad part about that is that they're less likely to listen to us. A lot. But Faith and Diligence go a long way!!!!!!! :D

    I never know what to write in the e-mails..... WE SAW A PANDA!!!!!!!! not really. But I wish, it'd be cool. I don't have very much time, we're jumping around getting a lot of stuff done for people. LOVE EVERYONE IN THIS MISSION!!!! Missionaries are so cool. I LOVE YOU ALL BACK HOME TOO!! EVERYONE HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEK!!!!!!! :D

Week 29 - YO!!

June 9, 2014

   I always forget like everything that happened during the week the moment P-day rolls around. BUT IT WAS A GREAT WEEK!!!!!!!!!! SO much fun, don't remember anything, but it was great. OH YEAH Sherry's on date for the 28th, so we'll see how that goes, probably going to have to push it back a week or two, but you know, we'll get her!!! GO MUNCIE!!! HAHA life's really good. I need to buy another SD card to take more pictures, so that's a work in progress, but we get paid next week, so I should be able to. EAT MORE SPINACH ITS GOOD FOR YOU!!!! And go talk to some non-members about the church, it does a lot for them! Love you all!! :D

-Love, Elder Ellis

Week 28 - What's up

June 2, 2014
So guess who got baptized this weekend! Nobody!!! Haha, bet I got you all with that one, didn't I? Don't worry, we'll get someone in the water before the end of the transfer. The Zowd's weren't able to make it to church, which was super disappointing, and most others failed too. Just Chrissy, Paul's girlfriend, was there. She had a great time though!! Maybe she'll be the one we'll get in the water, she's pretty teachable. We just need more Faith, Diligence and Obedience! Nah we're pretty good on all that, and we're pretty humble too. Probably like the most humble missionaries out there. They should give us an award. :D I really hope you all get that joke the right way. Pride's always something we always got to watch out for... So are coconuts, they kill more people than sharks every year. 

    So we're still teaching a lot of people, and still struggling to get a lot of them to progress. Things are going fantastic though, we're working hard and getting work done. and the Ward here loves us, so that's always nice.

   So ya!! Love all of you, wish you a wonderful week!!! :D

-Love Elder Ellis

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

        -Love Elder Ellis

"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
