I Already Love Them

Hello :D The church recently updated the email services so now my email address is different. Now it’s shane.curtis@myldsmail.net It’s really cool because the church teamed up with Google to do it, so now my email looks just like gmail, except it says myldsmail, instead of gmail, and it doesn’t have chat etc. I don’t have much time because I was setting up my new account, but I did have a good week.

We now have four missionaries in the Harbor Hills ward. Elder Shaw and Elder Bean now cover the west side of the area. It’ll be interesting to only work in half the ward, but it’ll be really fun to work with the new elders. I already love them. Elder Bean got to California this week so he’s brand new. Elder Shaw has only been out 7 months or something so they are both new and on fire. Our district now consists of us four and the CDM elders. It’s only six and Elder Keeler is the new district leader. I’m going to enjoy this transfer for sure.

We taught Michelle three times this week and she is progressing well. The only problem is that she was sick on Sunday so she didn’t get baptized as planned. She has to come to church another time so we are going to wait another two weeks or a week and a half. I’m glad our church meets at eleven o’clock now--it’s a lot nicer. The crazy part is that she isn’t even our investigator now. She is in the West side’s area. In fact we live in their area too lol.

We found a new family while tracting on New Year’s Eve. They are Indian (from India) and it is a single mother with two kids ages 13 and 10. Her name is Ekta so pray for her and her family because we taught them the first lesson on Saturday and it was picture perfect. We had a member there and the spirit was strong. She told us she’s a lost cause, but they committed to read and pray so hopefully at least the kids will progress.

Anyway, life is crazy as usual, but very good at the same time. I’m really happy BYU won their bowl game and thanks for your cards and letters. Christmas was great, New Years was fun and I can’t believe it’s 2010! Guess I’d better go. Love you guys as much as all the sunbeams here in California (it was almost 80 during our Ultimate Frisbee game this morning, I think I got a little burned).

Love,
Elder Curtis
