Week 61: I Miss Spanish

Hello my beautiful people what's popping? It's elder curtis from the great white North coming at ya with another email. It's been a little while, ey.

So this week was transfers. Absolutely bonkers. Not cause I got moved but because we had to pick up new missionaries, conduct orientation, coordinate transfers for the rest of the mission, take new missionaries home, and work our area haha. From Monday to Thursday I was running on about 12 hours of sleep total. Kinda crazy. Weirdest part was taking my trainer elder Garibaldi home. He brought me into the mission and i got to take him out of it haha.

I think because we were so busy the Lord made up the difference for the work in our area. We had 6 friends at church, 3 of whom we didn't even invite! Angel came, she said she woke up early and knew that she had to come to church today. She stayed for both hours! Legend.

Then our friends rob and revenelle said they wanted to get married! So exciting. Thought that would never happen tbh. She should be getting a baptismal date soon! Whoop whoop

Talked to three ethiopian ladies on sunday. Now for those of you not from Ethiopia, or who don't know about Ethiopian culture, they are quite a religious people. They are all Ethiopian orthodox and don't like to hear our message. However the Spirit changed their hearts! We testified of the book of Mormon and gave them a copy in amharic to read. Pretty cool. I've  talked to 100s of Ethiopians and I've never had any quite that interested. Milagro!

This week was a grind tbh. However, I do know the Lord loves effort. So let's put forth some effort this week ok?

Dios les bendiga,

Elder Curtis
