Well this week was pretty good, I feel the support of everyone and that's always really nice,
The work is still going well. We had a baptism of a 9 year old girl last week and we have another scheduled for this Saturday, and we have some other people we are working with.
They are taking great care of me here and I'm taking good care of myself. I am happy, healthy and working hard. Things are good.
I was able to go on my first exchange as District Leader this week, with Elder Baumgartner, who ironically was also in the MTC with me. It was a cool experience and I think it helped him and it definitely helped me. He never puts gel or anything in his hair, and the last district leader tried to get him to, and I agreed that it would look good and more professional, and he had some in his hair on Sunday for the members at church to see. It looked good and he seemed more confident. It's a start and I think it's a miracle. Through small and simple things, will great things come to pass.
We had our quarterly interviews with President Cusick this past week, and it was good, but let me just start by saying, 3 months ago he told me,
-----------"you know, you wont always have Elder Barnett"
and then i was transferred the next transfer.
This time he said,
---------- "you won't be in Sarasota forever"
so I'm not sure, but I'm expecting another transfer at the end of this transfer cycle, we will see what happens.
I have more pictures of me and the weird Sarasota people on my iPad but it takes a bit for them to get to the computer to forward. Our mission doesn't use the iPad to email home, most others do, but we are elite. That's the way i like to look at it... it helps me not get down about unimportant things like that.
I love you all,
-Elder Ellsworth
