Curtis, William

So back to the grind... this week was kinda wild. Tbh I only really wanna talk about 2 days this week. Saturday and Sunday. Saturday I woke up and was stoked for the day. We had about 6-7 lessons planned (absolutely unheard of for Canada, much less grande prairie)  annnnnd all of them canceled. So then we spent the whole rest of the day walking around getting Bible bashed downtown. Literally everyone we talked to seemed to be having a bad day/wanted to show these two missionaries that they were so so very wrong lol.  Sunday rolled around. We had 9 of our friends come and the Spanish family that we'd been teaching come as well. It was so miraculous. We also started the spanish 2nd hour! It was so lit. I kept thinking, how can these two days be so close together? Saturday was so awful, and Sunday was so good! Made me think of a classic, a scripture that's gotten me through some of the hardest times of my life: D&C 122:7 And if thou shouldst be cast into the pit, or into...

This is the weirdest email I've ever sent. So um anyways. This is the 52nd email haha. Real talk with Elder  Curtis  now, I've reflected a lot this week. One year as a missionary? How could it be? Time has flown. I can remember like it was yesterday, getting set apart. Now here I am, 52 weeks in.  To be completely honest this has been the hardest thing I've ever done. But I've been blessed a whole lot! I've learned the meaning of two things: Christlike courage, and Christlike love (spoiler alert: they go hand in hand). Courage means your willingness to go outside of your comfort zone. To do something that in a "normal" situation you would not do. Now this has been the #1 lesson on my mission this far. Why would anyone want to do something like that?  Well because of Christlike love. When you love someone and/or something as Christ does, you'll do exceptional things for them. You'll talk to them on the street. You'll knock on their car window. Y...

I'm starting with the least important thing: the Oilers are going to the Stanley cup waahoooo! Hockey is the best lol BTW hop on this thing: https://photos.app.goo. gl/5KEvxqXq2WYzZR9a9 Honestly just such a good week. Got blessed by the Lord this sunday. Had 8 investigators come to church which was most I've ever had up here in Grand Praire. Then what was so dope was a whole bunch of inactive members we've been working with came too! We had the highest number of people ever in the ward to come to sacrament, a big ol 134. I about cried it was so amazing to see. I've been praying really really hard to have people come and I felt the hand of the Lord in the work in a big way.  BTW me and my comp posted an invite to church video on all the grande prairie Facebook pages and ppl started an internet troll war in the comments section haha. But 2,700 people viewed it soooo idk. We've also started to get recognized around town which is a weird feeling haha, "hey are you ...
