We were under attack

Buenas Tardes a todos!

Hello! How is everyone? We’re already on the last week of transfers again so remember to send letters to the mission office. I think there’s about a 60% chance of being moved this next transfer. President said we’ll usually stay in an area 6-8 months so I could definitely still stay, but we’ll see. Elder Zelnick is going home two weeks after transfers so if I stay I’ll probably be in a threesome at least two weeks.

Monday we had a great FHE @ the Pantojas and lots of investigators were there so it was really good. We had a short lesson and played a game. We had an investigator we are hoping to baptize at the end of this week named Silvia. Her daughter Monserrat is also preparing. That would be a really great end to this transfer, but we’ll see.

We knocked a lot more this week and even had some really good success with it so that makes the effort worth it for me.

Thursday I got to go on exchanges with Elder Gillespie and Elder Diaz. I slept at their place Wednesday night and spent all of Thursday with them and their investigators. It was a fun day and I enjoyed the new company for a day.

The fourth of July was a bit weird because we just did normal stuff. We have a new ward mission leader Hermano Muñoz who was the guy who got baptized my first week here in January. He’s a good man and takes his calling seriously so I think the Lord will help him do a good job. Anyway, we started meeting with him Saturday mornings for correlation. Then we stayed after and taught him a new member lesson lol.

We started our fast Saturday night for Rigoberto who has court today. Michelle and Rigo both fasted with us and came to church as well. I hope all goes well today. Guess we’ll find out what happened some time. We went to a member’s house in a different ward for dinner with the Pantojas and it was good. That night it felt like we were under attack with fireworks going off at the high school and all the streets around us.

Sunday I really enjoyed sacrament meeting. I looked at the people there and thought about how many people have changed their lives and are coming to church/striving to keep the commandments/change etc. It was really great. Stacy and Kimberly’s mom even bore a really nice testimony. Elder Fraga and I bore ours too since there was a little extra time left. We also had the confirmation of Hermano Erasmo.

Today we played soccer again and I really enjoyed getting some exercise and being with the whole district. I guess that’s about it. Everything’s going well. We should have a good week. Thanks for the letter Rachelle. Just got a call from Hermana Sonia, Michelle’s mom, and it sounds like everything went well at court. Thanks so much for all of your prayers!

Love,
Elder Curtis
