Hello, lovely family!
I am so sublimely happy. I love being a missionary! It truly is such a huge blessing to be focusing all my time and effort on the Lord´s service. Another transfer came out. I´m staying in Verdão with Sister Sena. Sister Barboza went home and Sister dos Santos is going to another area. Plus...I´ll be training another sister, Sister Rosa. So, we´ll be in trio. (smile) I don´t know how much more time I have. So, I´m going to send this and then write more if time permits.
Thanks, Spencer, for the letter! I finally got it. :) Our old zone leader took all our letters with him last transfer and finally returned them this last zone conference.
Thanks, Mom, Dad, and Em for the letters and pictures. President Milder´s email is: pmissaocuiaba at terra dot com.br. Love you!
--Sister Ellis

P.S. Please note: if my friends want me to write back, I can´t send an email. It has to be by snail mail. So, email me your mailing address adn I´ll write back asap. Thanks! :)

P.S. i´m starting a ward choir! Que coisa boa! I´m so excited for teh work in this ward adn so grateful to be a part of this marvelous work and a wonder. I have some experiences to share, but I´ll haev to write them to mom and dad and they can read them to yáll at aspen grove.
