Queen of Surrey Spanish
hey team, this is coming to you from the happiest and also most exhausted/stressed hermana curtis yet. life is SO good, sister paxton and sister seiter and i have been at a dead sprint for the past week, covering both the spanish and english areas. which is especially challenging since the spanish area is beyond massive, and they're the stl's for the surrey zone so YEAH! but it's great :)) sister paxton can now pray in spanish and sister seiter is making leaps and bounds in adjusting to all the latinos kissing her on the cheek to say hello. my english is also making rapid progress.

the highlight of the week included the spanish ward's christmas party for sure for sure, never will i ever be satisfied with an english ward party back home ever again. i mean, they turn the gym into a dance floor after eating and absolutely everyone who can walk is up there at some point! also consisted of the surrey 1st ward christmas party, quick road trip to vancouver for a baptism, zone conference (see pics for the LPHS reunion <3), my bishop getting stung by a jellyfish, and all of surrey being thrown into a panic by the snow. WHICH I LOVE. poor kids don't know how to scrape off their cars, some nice little chinese man was trying to pour pitchers of water on his windshield to get the snow off, in the negative temperatures, and i was like "sos bless his heart."

CAROLYN is still so solid for her baptism date in february, which means that i am currently planning a weddinggggg. kind of. ah. seriously so happy for her. i love love. and baptism.
in other news, i was at the home of la familia moro this week, who started explaining to me how strange it is that americans like cold pizza, and i was like ???? i am american???? and they were entirely bewildered because somehow they've thought that i was from france SINCE AUGUST. so for those of you who were asking about my french to spanish transition, the accent is still apparently a thing hahah.
transfer calls come in on christmas eve, which is crazy. I can't believe this transfer is over. i can't believe i'll be back with all of you this time next year. missions are terribly hard and exhausting but worth it, especially around christmas time. God is so good, my friends. He sees us, He's got you. talk to Him, please. in the car, on the treadmill, en route to class.
merry christmas my sweet friends, thank you for everything!
