Semana 37: ¡Tenemos La Solución!

Bueeeeeenas que más mis parceritos 


Well this week got some wack news: my friend Jahir up in Lago Lindo is getting baptized this Saturday! And he asked me to perform the ordinance. Goin back to my roots. I will keep you all posted with pics. Crazy to think how far Jahir has come. We've been teaching him since october and he's finally come around.


In other news, all of our friends here in Río Vista are just goin through the ringer. Whether it's marriage, money, or work problems Satan is trying his hardest to make it difficult for them to accept the gospel. Buuuuuut like the title of the email says, we have a little secret: the solución! We have the answer to every problem, concern, issue, and inconvenience that these people have in their lives. If your wondering what it is, there's a little talk by a living prophet on the earth today titled: The Answer is Always Jesus Christ. Highly recommend, top tier, absolutely fire.


Our friends Ronald and Santiago are progressing, they will be good for their date of March 16th. Hooray! I'm very excited, they are some of my best friends up here in Canada (plus they're from Colombia so automatically >>>>> mejor) 


I love missionary life! It's the best! Every night me and my companion go to bed and this how it goes:


E. Ospina: ok elder, buenas noches, descansen.
E. Curtis: igualmente mi perrito, dulces sueños de .....(and then something that happened during the day)
E. Ospina: si, dulces sueños de.... (this elder always be sayin something crazy in his)


Shout out elder cook you're my inspiration


But naw, I love life. Keep being awesome! Don't be a stranger shoot this elder an email!.


Elder Curtis

Week 11: My Mission=On Fire (Literally And Figuratively), My New Sensei, And Canadian Food

Image
One of the most beautiful analogies I've ever heard in my life is this: Canada is like if aliens studied America for 30 years, and then tried recreating it. Everything is roughly the same, except for some very important differences. Primarily Food. Once again, mostly the same, except for one crucial Food genre: chips. For some reason, these people (who I have an immense love for) love.... ketchup chips. On everything. Like ketchup flavored lays, cheetos, and a whole bunch of ones I've never even heard of. I have yet to try one, because I'm scared I'll like it. Also, for the first time, I tried Canadian syrup. Now hear me out: I know and believe America is the greatest country on earth. We have the best everything- except syrup. I don't know how people settle for anything else after trying this literal liquid gold. I'm going to find a way to smuggle some home. In other news, me and Elder Girabaldi did some service at a soup kitchen on Wednesday, and we met a man ...

Week 29: FREEZING

Image
One of the more crazy weeks of the Mission Quick meteorology lesson: way way up north, there is something called the polar votex (basically a big ol cold air mass) When it is being nice it stays in a nice neat circle and keeps all the cold air together. But sometimes it gets weird and wonky, and the air leaks down to where normal people live....... I woke up on Thursday morning and I crack open the balcony to feel the temperature. No joke I could not breathe. I go and check my phone: -29°C. Cold. Very very cold. Over the next couple of days, the whole province of Alberta slowly shut down. On Saturday, we reached a high of -36 and a low of -42. There was talk that we would have to stay inside, but thankfully we didn't have too. Did that stop us? No. We still workin, found 8 new friends to teach, and put Jahir and the Martinez family back on date. The Lord loves effort! Honestly kinda crazy. We haven't been able to meet with them since before Christmas. I didn't know if they ...

Week 4: One Month Down

Image
Hola everyone. It has now been officially a month and a day since I've been set apart as a missionary. It has also probably been the quickest month of my life. Time has absolutely flown by, and I'm completely ok with that. Every day is filled with gospel and language study, bonding with my district, and the occasional fun random activity. Like last P-day when we went to the Provo temple, which was absolutely incredible. I love the temple, and I was grateful for the opportunity to get outside the MTC boundaries and get out into the real world.  Me and my two comps actually got the opportunity to talk to a guy outside of the temple who was writing a talk about the Holy Ghost. We were able to give him some advice and direct him to some conference talks and also 3rd Nephi 18. It was awesome to be able to see what missionary work is going to be like. Except we'll be speaking a different language, and it'll be -40 degrees outside. Oh Canada, I can't wait! If...
