Sister Curtis on the Rez + SHAE + Madness
Oh my word I have so much to say and so little time, as per usual but mostly you just need to know that my week included contacting on a First Nations reservation called Tsartlip, a branch member named Christl who is gonna be a best friend for all of ever literally researching and then making Cafe Rio for Sister Chandler and I as a surprise (there were tears), and SHAE GETTING BAPTIZED.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She has the greatest story ever. She's from Smithers, a little teeny tiny town way up Northern BC, where she worked for a member family and met the missionaries. She became really good friends with Elder Watts there, almost 2 years ago. Eventually he got transferred and she moved to Victoria on a whim, without him knowing. Lo and behold he eventually got transferred here and she ran into him in a Walmart on PDay! We started teaching her and she just is in love with the Gospel and had the greatest baptism everrrrr and just came out of the water in tears because she was so happy :) THE BEST EVER! Also she found Mormon Memes on Pinterest and thinks they are literally the funniest thing to ever happen to her. This is conversion everyone.
Yesterday at church was pure madness, because after Shae's confirmation DANI (AJ you would seriously adore her) who I want to be when I grow up showed up unannounced at church. She's been thinking about getting baptized but slightly MIA the last week so we were zero percent expecting her, but she walks in before 3rd hour and we found her chatting up a bunch of members right when ANOTHER members comes bursting in, saying that she just found Jenn (another recent convert) passed out and unresponsive in the car..... so then FULL PANIC MODE we all rush out there and Dani, WHO JUST SO HAPPENS TO BE A PARAMEDIC, takes over and literally saves Jenn who was seizing and then an ambulance showed up and then a bunch of other little things happened and then Dani watched Jenn get a priesthood blessing and then wanted one of her own to help her with her practicum today so basically it was undoubtedly one of the most memorable church days of my life. Ah. I did not at all do a good job of explaining that. So sorry.
Really all you need to take away from that is the fact that God is really really good at His job and puts us where we need to be, whether we notice it or not. Thank heavens.
Love you all SO MUCH OKAY???????? SO MUCH!!!!!

PS The meme I attached is from Shae too. Everyone here is, like, alarmed when I tell them I've been living in Surrey for the past 5 months. But I made it out. We're good everyone. Please appreciate.
