Miracles...

Well, the biggest miracle I can think of right now is that my email is at 31% thanks to Ze Great DalMuti! :) THANK YOU SO MUCH ROB!
Another miracle is that I finally received emails from my family: Kit, Rob, Emily, Mom, and Dad. I had begun to think my family had forgotten about me. (I haven´t been receiving any letter as of late and very few emails as well). I know it´s silly, but I was beginning to plan to write a depressing email to yáll to get yáll to write me again. It seemed you all emailed me more in the beginning when I was having trouble adjusting to mission life, but now that things are fine, I don´t hear from basically anyone. But life is good and I´m grateful for all the blessings Heavenly Father gives me everyday.
We´re starting to teach with the members more effectively now. We plan with them beforehand and talk about what compromissos we´re going to do, what part we want them to teach, what scriptures they can use, etc. It´s great to see the members in action! They really make all the difference. It´s just a matter of training. :)
Today we finally were able to contact a referal we already tried to contact several times. It truly was a miracle because we weren´t even planning on contacting him. We were looking for an internet place and happened to walk past the lanchonete where he lives and we walked in to find Julio Cesar! Que coisa boa!!
So, President is going strong on the rule to not email anyone but family so I would really appreciate it if someone could PLEASE provide me with the following mailing addresses: Abby Hogan, Dan McIntosh, Matt Coffin, Jared Smith, etc. You can find them probably through facebook or something like that. Also, I heard that TJ, Paul, Chris Ricker, and I´m sure others are getting married. I´d like to see the invitations if someone could scan them and email them or copy and mail them. thanks.
Love, Sister Ellis
P.S. Many of the people I found and prepared in Ala Cuiabá are getting baptized! One of which is Eunice (mother of Mara who I baptized with sister bulhões). She´s getting married this saturday and I´m going to have a joint baptism with the elders who are baptizing her on Sunday. So, I´ll get to see her wedding (in my area) and her baptism!! I´m so excited! Heavenly Father is so good. What a tender mercy.
