I think im just gonna send my ipod back home and then you can just send it with macen (one of his friends report to the MTC Oct. 1) when he comes up here or mail me another package... ill probably be sending some stuff home before i leave too i just dont know what or if i will have to. but yeah other than that i need some sandals for showering, i figure some of those Old Navy ones that are like a dollar or whatever in a size 14. Antoher CD if you can find has bagpies and is called ''praise to the man'' its all about the Joseph Smith songs, other than that just cool music that you think i might like and as much as possible! and if you give it to macen to bring up see if he has any music to put on it to just make ABSOLUTELY sure NOT NOT NOT to sync my ipod cause then it will erease everyhting but it shouldnt on our computer, and yes some john bytheway would be cool and talk tapes for sure thats a good idea, what picture did you get on my cards?? (We ordered some missionary business cards to hand out with his home address on them) well other than that my favorite candy???? not sure the jerky was the first thing gone out of your other package so that was good! gum is orbit sweet mint, and yes im serious about the Red Bulls! and yes it is allowed kids get them all the time, other than that im doing good just learning spanish all the time and having a blast!! i love it here i cant imagin what its gonna be like down in Mexico!!! no word on VISA's yet so thats a bummer, but today at the temple we did sealings so we were proxies for sons and also whitnesses so that was way cool, me and another elder were in a room with 3 other older couples who had served at least 3 missions together as couples and they came to do the work for their neighbor so we helped them and the man of one of the couples was the Sealer so that was cool, they would take breakes every so often and teach us about the covenants we were making for them and the blessings that come from this and it was AWSOME! i learned so much i cant wait to do that for myself!, it was really cool to see it happening and the amazing spirit that was in the room with us as we were doing their work, well that was the excitement for today not much other than the senior district just older than us is packing this week, its kinda wierd seeing them get ready to leave, we've all gotten really close so its gonna be wierd without them, but im excited for them they are all going to Santiago, Chili so thats cool. but yeah how are you guys doing? how is everyone else doing? i haven't heard from anyone else in a few weeks.... did you get that book i sent??? (he sent the kids an illustrated Book of Mormon book) how did the kids like it? i thought it would help them understand and get more from your readings, well i better go we are heading to dinner now but next friday at 5:20 ish i think for you it will be 4:20 in the afternoon you should get on your email and we can talk back and forth like chats, it could be cool hahah okay well i love you guys so much thanks for everything.

hey hows it going?
im doing good, om learning tons every day and today like 10 minutes ago the district that lives in the 2 rooms next to us got their flight plans today!! so that was crazy! it was cool seeing that happen and to hope that our VISA's will go through, cause we are supposed to get our flight plans in 2 weeks!!! its gonna be wierd to see them go cause me and Elder Montalvo have gotten to be really good friends with all those guys so its gonna suck when they leave, but when they leave our district will be the senior district so we get all of the hand-me-down traditional stuff so that will be cool. other than that its been just a normal week, oh besides Dieter F. Ucktorf coming to talk to us on tuesday!!! haha we got really good seats and he gave a really good talk on missionary work and to never give up and to endure to the end. ok so other than that nothing has really happened just A LOT of class but time seems to go pretty fast around here so thats good. Ray e-mails me sometimes so its always awsome to see hows he's doing. oh and before i forget a few things that i want haha it some raquetballs to play with haha in our rooms it gets a little boring so we make up games and we even have a 2 square court in our room that us and the other district have some fierce tournaments on so yeah, and as many CD's as you can! music is the only thing that i like to listen to and im sick of what i have and and music is good but i really want the Lord of the Rings cd and other soundtracks that might be cool maybe some Beetles as long as there arent words on that kind of music they said we can listen to it! ther is a really coll church cd out with just bagpipes which is a really good one that i want and other than that just anything that doesnt have words, so like acoustic and orchestra stuff, i think there is a good Star Wars cd too, but ill write you a letter today so you dont forget! well i hope you guys are doing good and i love you all but my time is up so i will talk to you later!I LOVE YOU!!
p.s. try and e-mail me by thursday night cause we check them friday morning at like 7 so tell everyone else if they e-mail, FYI

Hey everyone,
How’s it going? Well I’m doing good, especially since today is P-Day AND we went to the Temple as usual AND it’s my halfway mark for the MTC!!!! It’s pretty crazy it doesn’t seem like I’ve been here that long. but ya other than that a few things that have been going on is so far we've had 2 members of the Twelve Apostles so far, Dallin H. Oaks AND Quinten L. Cook, it so cool and we got the closest seats to both of them we were front row! I love them. (I have been after him about his favorite scripture for his plaque at the church, he finally answered) Oh ok and I think my favorite scripture is going to be Helaman 5:12, or around there it talks about building your foundation on the rock of the lord and Satan wont have power over you. But yeah other than that we go to the RC (referral center) and answer phone calls and chat with people who are curious about the church its way cool. I was chatting with this girl from Caracas Venezuela and I have talked with her before and I challenged her to read some chapters in the book of Mormon, one was 3 Nephi 11 and I told her to pray and ask heavenly father if it was true and so on Wednesday when we were scheduled to chat again she said she did pray and she feels that the book of Mormon is true and that this church is the only true church!!!! so I was kinda giving her the whole first lesson and she was loving every minute of it, it felt so cool to see the change that takes place in someone, and I’m going back in on Saturday to see how she is doing on some other commitments I gave her and I can’t wait to talk to her she has been amazing to talk to and I told her to try and find the missionaries and talk to them if she can!! other than that nothing really, OOOHHH so we were sitting out on the grass last weekend I think it was and all the sudden I started to hear some cheering and stuff and it turns out the MTC is right next to the BYU stadium!!!!! and when the football game actually started it was crazy we could hear almost everything so we followed the score for a while, that was the first time I was kinda bummed out but I didn’t feel like I wanted to be anywhere other than on a mission cause football will still be there when I get back! Well ill talk to you later love you guys!!!
Adios, Elder Curtis
p.s. I get to print my emails out and read them before I respond to them, and I’d rather get them through dearelder cause I get them that same day and can write back to them throughout the week, so let everyone know that!!!!!!
