Semana 46: Chapter 9 And Talk To Everyone

Hola buenas a todos


Man I think i'm gonna say it every week but I miss spanish so much haha speaking english is so bland...but we got a solution to that don't Worry


Anyway this week was lit! I was super bummed out last week cause our church attendance has been just awful  as of late, I mean in terms of friends and also just plain members attending... we've got 500 on the books and about 60 in sacrament meeting. That's a problem haha. So p day rolls around and I'm feeling bummy. Then I pray and after think "hey wait a second. If you want people to come to church you just gotta Invite them!"


So I made my resolution there. Every person I saw this week I invited to church. And I mean everyone. Let me just tell you it was a crazy week. I found myself running across parking lots, flagging down cars, and talking to homeless people hahahaha. It was insane. It says in preach my gospel you gotta talk to everyone and that's what we did.


Then Sunday rolls around and sacrament meeting was better attended. We still only had 5 friends there but there were some less active families that showed up. So that felt good.


Dang it was a miracle filled week. We started english classes on Wednesdays (for my español herman@s) and our basketball night is picking up steam. Pray for us that we can help some of our friends progress and put someone on date soon!


Love you all! If you're a missionary, talk to everyone! See what happens!


Con mucho cariño,
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...
