Well, this week showed some definite improvement. Thank you all for your effort! I loved seeing all the pictures of my cute neices and nephews and hearing all the great news. I´m so happy for Mark in his school work, Rob and Christa being pregnant, Cameron´s bike riding success, Nat´s baby girl being so healthy, Mom and Dad´s new kitchen, Spencer´s success with the Brazilian elect in Portugal, etc.
Thank you so much for the emails. I had to add extra time to my internet hour to read everything, send my report to Pres, reply to yáll, and check the referal site! Opa! What happiness!
The special recognition today goes to Joy Marguerite who wrote 2 emails--the 2nd arriving as my first hour of internet was coming to an end. What a land slide finish!! Safe! It got to my inbox just as I was to write to y´all. Thanks, Joy, for you dedication. Way to endure to the end! You must eat challenges for breakfast! ;)
Thank you for all your prayers, fastings, etc. I am feeling the effect of all your love. Mom and Dad, I haven´t received anything yet because the transfer hasn´t come out yet. Hopefully it´ll come out today soon.
We are going to have a goodbye party for our trio with some great home made food in our apartment---beans, rice, churrasco, cake, cookies, etc. I´m excited! I am truly grateful for this experience I have had with these wonderful sisters. Yet, all good things must come to an end...(sigh). But, I know that God is in charge and always has our best interest in mind.
Life is good. We had some crazy experiences with a crazy woman coming after us b/c she didn´t want her husband to get baptized, but all´s well that ends well. Delson won´t be baptized unfortunately b/c his wife is jealous of me (thinking that he has a crush on me) and is ridiculously fanatic in Congregação Cristã. But, hopefully down the road, her heart will be softened. Sorry, there is no time to share details, it´ll have to wait for after the mission.
Thanks, Nat for Abby´s address. I love hearing about the boys funny sayings. I´ll be sure to pray hard for you and for the baby to move on South. ;)
Spencer--I really hadn´t gotten your email last week b/c I get on the internet earlier than you. Thanks for your update though. I love hearing of your successes!!
In other news, we are working with reactivating a woman and baptizing her husband. They are such a cute couple and have adorable girls wtih bouncing curls. I am very grateful to be part of this process in helping families become eternal.
Love you all!
til next Monday...
Love, Rae (aka Sister Ellis)
P.S. Does anyone know why my email to Becky came back this last week? Did she change her email?
