So this week was an ADVENTURE!!! On Monday we received a
call that Sister Herrera would join our companionship and we made it a whole
week together and it was awesome! We arranged Antonio's baptism! While we were
waiting for the baptism to start Sister dos Santos taught me and Sister Herrera
how to tie ties. We tied them all by ourselves!! Heehee
Look at Antonio... He's so happy!! Haha. I've never seen
someone make such a huge change in such a short amount of time. After a
lifetime of smoking and being involved with other less-good things. Antonio
grabbed his last box of cigarettes and chucked them out the window, stopping
stone cold. He grabbed the beer in his fridge and poured it down the toilet,
laughing and smiling. When he was
baptized he sat there a moment, smiled and said "It's good."
This week we are also having another transfer! Heavenly
Father thought I should spend my last 20 days on my mission in another area so
I'll be transferred to Mem Martins tomorrow.
I'm just so grateful to be here. I don't pay attention to
the days... (honestly I'm hoping that if i stop looking then the time will
start going backwards). I love being a missionary. I love being a
representative of Christ. It's the best thing you could ever do. Every
sacrifice is worth it. Every tear, sore muscle,
sigh of disappointment, everything is worth coming to know my Savior.
And I wouldn't trade it for anything.
Sister Ellsworth
