the world's largest carrot cake
first and foremost i would just like you all to know that today
we came across the world's largest carrot cake in the mall. this is a real live
thing. they're like, breaking a world record as we witnessed it. go Canada!
speaking of Canada Friday is remembrance day and so
literally everyone has red poppies pinned to their shirts, ah i love it. even
all the sweet old indian men who cannot even say "canada" in english.
ALSO i saw miracles upon miracles this week. we are now teaching
the most hermosa family from colombia, everytime we teach them (which has been
twice so far lol) another family member joins us on the couch and starts asking
questions and then we leave and they're all wondering about God and where we
came from and what happens after and I JUST LOVE IT! we're teaching them again tonightsend
prayers please :)))
my second favorite miracle was the fact that hermana
kartchner had a dream that we had to go try and find this potential we've never
actually met, so we went with it, didn't find her, and then as we were walking
out of the complex jeremy gomez appears out of nowhere.
he got baptized last
year, and then has essentially disappeared. he's 13. and has one of the best
hearts i've ever seen. and as we started teaching him right there in the street
about how God literally just has blessings upon blessings to hand to us, but He
can only give to us according to our obedience, it starts drizzling. just
barely. and hermana kartchner says, "see, like this jeremy. this is your
life right now. you're catching a few blessings, but they're only
drizzling right now." and then i start praying "please please please
make it pour" and in that exact second when we tell him that God just
wants to rain down all the other blessings into his 13 year old life is starts DUMPING.
and then we finish our sentence and the rain is 100% gone. it was magnificent.
and we walked away knowing that God was standing there with us in that moment,
to show jeremy how aware of him he is. how much He's holding back, until he
starts being obedient again. doing the little things. reading his scriptures.
showing up to church. and jeremy looked me in the eye and told me that he knew
God sent us to him right then as a sign. and i was like "si."
ah, the best things.
but my favorite of all miracles is still president burt.
interviews with him this week was literally a mini general conference. i was
prepared for all kinds of questions and answers and discussion but really i
just sat there and cried a bit as he went on and on for 45 minutes about all
things good and lovely and true and hard things too but everything i needed to
hear.
also, everyone please know that on saturday i will be
shaking elder jeffrey r holland's hand. (hi jake). this is true. an apostle of
Jesus Christ is coming to speak to our mission.
MY HEART!!!
okay that's all i love you all dearly, be good <3
xoxo hermana reagan Curtis
