Elder Ellis and others

Dearest Family, (and Friends)
I know that I say it often, but this week was awesome.
Firstly, we had an awesome P-day with the zone and played a number of Soccer based games (but not actually soccer, because soccer isn´t allowed). One game we played was the Brazilian version of Dodge Ball called Queimado.
Because of chasing down baptisms last week, we had spent very little time trying to find new investigators, so this week we had a determination to find some elect. Our efforts are focused in the areas closest to the church.
Wednesday we woke up super early to get our van to Uberlândia for our conference with Elder Ellis of the Seventy. The Bishop´s wife served in the São Paulo north mission when Elder Ellis was President there. Elder Ellis and his wife were amazing. They´re from Texas and have nine children and what appeared to be about thirty grandchildren. Sister Ellis first spoke about developing our faith and afterwards Elder Ellis spoke about how God know everything from the beginning to the end and the end is eternal life. The lesson that he applied was that we need to think of our investigators and less actives in terms of where they are in the gospel plan and what the next step they need to take is.
Thursday was the ward family home evening, and I was honored to play the part of the frog in a primary puppet show.
Saturday we were praying really hard to find a golden family to baptize. We were trying to contact less actives when we came across a family where the mother and grandmother had gotten baptized about 13 years ago, but had fallen away. Before starting our message we asked if there was anyone else who would like listen, so they invited the rest of the family. We soon found out that 15 people live in that house and the 10 can get baptized! The Lord answers prayers!
On Sunday 8 of the family of 15 came to church (the others were working.)
I hit a all time personal record of 13 investigators at church, so to say the least, I´m a little happy.
That´s all for now.
Awake from the dust and write me a letter.
Love,
Elder David Short
