Dourados 2

Hello, lovely family! This´ll have to be quick. I don´t think I´ve ever received so many emails yet on the mission!! That coke question really got y´all riled up! HAHAHA! I think I´ll have to write some other questions like that to get more correspondence. It was just a question...I know Coke is not against the word of wisdom, just so y´all know. I am striving hard to teach everyone here who teaches this apostacy--incl. other missionaries. :)
We baptized a beautiful family this week-end. My pictures are still on my camera, but I´ll try to get them saved to my pen drive to email y´all some next week, k? Sorry I´m being such a slacker in that department. Well...I don´t know my address here in Dourados...at least the CEP...I´ll find out and mail it to you, Mom in my letter this week. Love you all!
I´m so happy for John and Laura and the twins. Thanks for the pics. And I loved the pics of Nat and the kids too. Kit--cute hair. I love it! I´m excited to see Em´s hair too.
Love, Sister Ellis

Hi family!
Well...the biggest news is taht I´ve been transferred. After a year in cuiabá, Mato grosso, I am now serving in dourados, mato grosso do sul!! Wohoo!! It is paradise here—the weather is absolutely heavenly. No more 100+ degree weather! Heavenly father is very kind.  sorry for all the typos, this keyboard is very frustrating and many keys are sticking.
WE have been greatly blessed here in dourados so far. WE arrived safely, sister rosa and i, after a 19+ hour bus ride. We have 3 investigators already with baptismal dates—2 are a family for this coming Saturday! Que coisa boa. Truly it is wonderful to see how god prepares people´[s hearts to hear the gospel. Well...that´s it for now. I´ll try to send pics next week.
Love you all!
