end of February...

I can´t believe it´s already the end of February!!! CRAZY!! I have been on the mission already 6 months! I want to cry when I think of how fast this is going by. I still have so much to improve!
So...this week was a very interesting week. I had to face a lot of big, ugly monsters of my character. Unfortunately, I had been going through life letting these faults grow, without even realizing. Thankfully, the mission brings all those ugly, terrible characteristics to the surface very quickly. So...I´m working really hard to change. I´m really sorry for all the pain and grief I have caused all of you just being so proud, selfish, adn insensitive. Thank heavens I came on a mission!!! No promises I´m going to be perfect when I come home. Com certeza this is going to be a life long battle for me. But, I do promise I´m going to be a little better than I was before. Thank you for your continual support and prayers. I am so grateful.
Sorry this is going to be so short. I spent most of the time reading all the emails, blogs, etc. Thank you! I love hearing and seeing all the latest of my cute neices and nephews. Aup--I hope Tearisa starts eating better. I loved Mark´s commentaries. You are so funny, Mark. Business in the front and party in the back! ;) Nat--I hope you´re feeling better now and the boys too. I´m glad to hear you adn Matt had fun in Brazil. Is Abby home from the mission yet? I´m sure it´s getting close, huh?
I was wondering if there was any way someone could send me things for my converts--CDs of hymns, CTR rings, hymnals, things like that. There isn´t any thing here in Cuiabá. Also, my companion and I were thinking how great it would be to have access to those seminary videos (like the one of the man who walked outside the fence in Africa and got eaten by the crocodile). You know how people learn different ways...some visually, auditorally, etc. Well, I was wondering if anyone had access to those and could burn them on to a DVD for me. I was thinking Joy or Matt might have an idea o n how to get them since y´all have served as seminary teachers...;)
Well... that´s my time for now! HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Kev and Cameron! I hope you both have a lot of fun and have many more years of health and happiness!
Love, Sister Ellis III
