Hello from LAV!

Hello beloved family! It´s been great to see the pictures and read the news from the blogs - fabulous! I´ll be happy to see the nieces I have yet to meet, when the time comes. (And man oh man is time flying by!!) Thanks Mom and Dad for the letters (notes on the visit from Pres. Eyring & Company and the quote from Pres. Uchtdorf) I just got them today! And Happy Birthday (early wishes) to Dad, the great Papa Stan! Happy belateds to Sam and Caity, and if anyone could say Happy Birthday to Sterling Mann, I´d appreciate it.

Well life is great. Elder McFarren and I had a boost this past week and have gotten on the ball with teaching lessons, working with investigators, and finding new ready people! And there´s this kid named Cadu -- Em, someone you should write, hint hint -- who turns 17 (the same day as Dad!) who is really coming along great. He´s a great kid with a desire to learn and do! Yay! And it´s always fun to find new people - talking to people on the street, or them talking to us, less active members´ friends - always a treat!

Well transfers are this week, and so far we´ve heard nothing and I think we´re both staying, but that´ll be confirmed in next week´s email. I hope everyone has a great week! Thanks again everyone for the news and well wishes! I love all of you and wish you the best - especially Dad on his special day! Have a great one! Much love,
--Elder Ellis
