Moving

Today has been absolutely crazy. We have been busy moving all day long. We started around 8:00 this morning, we are finally into the new apartment, but it is still a mess. We had all 4 other elders in our ward helping us, and two of the senior couples, it was a lot of work. We are finally out and doing email and shopping and stuff, just a little late.

This week has been really good. We had the baptism of Brother Luna on Saturday. It was really neat. There have been so many obstacles in the way of him getting baptized, and finally it came to pass. I will send pictures from the baptism and stuff next week, with the move, I completely forgot to bring my camera to email to send pictures. Yesterday he got confirmed, it was really amazing. He was so happy after his baptism, as was his wife. He asked me to baptism, it is the second time on my mission I've been in the water as well. The spirit was so strong at the baptismal service.

Also this week we set another baptismal date. Javier, one of our investigators from Ecuador is progressing really well. The way we found him was one day he just walked into church on Sunday. Apparently his girlfriend ion Ecuador is a member, and told him he should go. He is so prepared for the gospel. We have gone over to teach him 3 times, he said he feels really good at church and reading the Book of Mormon. We set him with a date for the 28th of March.

In other good news we finally got Manny to church. We've been working with Manny for a few months now. He is a less active young man from the Dominican Republic. We have been working for a while with him, trying to get him to come to church, and yesterday he finally came.

Things are going well in the area. Sorry that this weeks email is a little short, we have a lot to do still, and not a lot of time. I love you all so much.
Oh, by the way, the new address is:
501 56th street #4
West New York NJ
07093
I love you all, and miss you a lot. I hope things are going well for you.
Love,
Elder Isaac Ellsworth
