Well, my life has changed quite a bit since last transfer. As I mentioned last week, I am now riding a bike instead of sitting in a car. I am also working an area with a companion who knows nothing more than I do about it. It's been an adventure, but with the help of my GPS, it hasn't been unbearable. We don't have anyone that is progressing super well, but we have a couple people with potential. We've been working on the area book quite a bit and trying to get organized so we know in what general area everyone lives in. Our apartment has like 25 members in it and is even managed by some people in the ward so that is fun. The owner isn't though, I'm pretty sure. Some people call it Mormon Manor :)
Tuesday and Friday we had lessons with a family that was less-active for some time and is coming back--mostly on account of their children. The autistic daughter got baptized two days before we arrived, and the younger son was baptized a while before that. The parents have been less-active, but are coming to church now to support their children, so I think that is wonderful. I'm sure they will be temple ready eventually with all that strengthening. The father even baptized K. Oh, and they are the J family.
We are being fed well in this area, even with two sets of missionaries working here. The members we've met so far have been really nice and I really like the people here so far. We have some great ward missionaries and our high council seems pretty good too. We met with Bishop H and our WML Bro. M this week, and they kind of helped us get going and gave a few names to us to try.
Thursday night we taught a recent convert that is a little less-active named G L. It was a good lesson and we had brother B come with us, who is a ward missionary and teaches Gospel Principles. Sunday night we taught N T , a black lady who converted a while ago but usually has to work during church. She said she has next week off though, so that's good. Brother B came to that lesson too, and we went over the lesson she had missed from Gospel Principles. We also gave a blessing to a non-member boy who broke his arm. He's a grandson of the S family in the ward, so hopefully we can start teaching him. We also have the C family and P/H that we want to start teaching.
Things are going well and Elder C is fun to work with--even if he's a little crazy sometimes :). Hope everyone is doing great.
Anyway, thanks for your prayers and support. Love you as much as my excitement for this new area,
Elder Curtis
