HELLO FRIENDS, VERY BIG NEWS
Hey soooooooooooooooooooooo my time here in this lovely Okanagan has come to a close! I'm moving to VANCOUVER YSA tomorrow bright and early and as broken hearted as I am so say bye to all the people I adore here I AM ACTUALLY SO EXCITED VANCOUVER IS THE PRETTIEST COOLEST VERY RAD VERY NICE VERY MULTICULTURAL CITY!!!!!!!!! And, hold your breath my friends, but my new companion (the other STL) is Sister Kim from Korea, who is one of my dear friends from serving on the island! And......... we're going to have ANOTHER SISTER with us who is ALSO FROM KOREA and ALSO NAMED SISTER KIM!
True story. I am dying hahahha. I am dead. I'm so thrilled about this.
BUT my last week in Kelowna was so happy. Lots of runaround. The sky turned a really freaky color (the fires around us are getting out of control, our cars are covered with ash in the mornings), andddddd we taught the most adorable family anddddd ummm I can't even think right now. I have a lot of packing to do. So I'll just share one experience and abuot a million photos and then carry on.
We were sitting on the porch with two friends we started teaching, and the daughter is blind but plays the harp beautifully. She started playing, of all things, "If You Could Hie to Kolob" but singing entirely different words. And I had the strangest, most spirit-filled experience. I started thinking about the Restoratin and all the pieces of light and knowledge and understanding of things so much grander than us that that brought. I was watching her play the right notes, without having a clue what that song is actually about. It was almost disconcerting, but lovely at the same time. I am ridiculously grateful for the knowledge that I have of how real God is, and His Son Jesus Christ, and how terribly important it is to "make these things known" to every soul I walk by here in British Columbia.
Okay I love you loads,
Sister Reagan Curtis
Pics include everything from our freaky wildfire sky to Sister Gallagher eating pupusas with a FORK AND KNIFE (ugh, Brits), to some of my favourite people to the West Side district.
