Hello again. I think last Monday it got up to like 89 degrees, but today it’s all rainy and cloudy. It finally started to get a bit cooler at night in November and now we are consistently running the little heaters in our apartment. I had a pretty good week I guess.
We are now teaching Michelle three times a week so it’s been good progress. The only problem is that she wasn’t able to come to church again yesterday. I guess she was in a lot of pain and she couldn’t really walk. She felt super bad about it though because she really wanted to come. I guess it will take a lot of prayers and faith to get her there this Sunday.
We taught a couple new people this week. We found them tracting. Two of them are Muslim families and one is an agnostic. I don’t know if they will work out, but one of the Muslim families is really interested. The father is named Oscar and he said he would come to church, but he didn’t make it. We are going to have to get him interviewed by a member of the mission presidency in order to teach him.
On Friday we ate dinner with the Jimenez family and taught the lesson and talked all in Spanish. It was pretty fun. After district meeting on Thursday we fed our district tacos for helping out with Michelle’s move. Elder Keeler really likes to cook—especially Mexican food, so he cooked up some great tacos for us.
We are really trying to get two baptisms this transfer so we can have a “white Christmas” as a mission. We will need lots of prayers and miracles to find the ones that are ready. The goal is for the mission to get 500 baptisms this year.
We also had a great lesson with Sister Weig on Saturday. Brother Weig is working full time about half a day’s drive north of here, so things are going tough for them right now. We took Brother Clark with us to the lesson. It was really good and she came to church yesterday so hopefully her resolve to stay strong is improved.
We also had some great lessons yesterday with the Emrichs (about temples and family) and the Doanes (about the Gospel of Jesus Christ).
I hope everyone has a good holiday season. Keep up the good work. Put your trust in God and do your part, then let him take over the rest and take you the last stretch. He sure does love each one of you. And I do too. I wouldn’t be here without all your love and support—before and during my mission. Keep praying for me a bunch, because I need it over here, and I’ll keep praying for all of you.
Guess I’ll talk to you all next week and on Christmas too. I knew it would come up fast, but no one believed me. Pretty soon it will be 2010! I love you as much as all the people in California,
Elder Curtis
