Dear Family And Friends,
Today is Tuesday...yes i know Monday is the normal day to get on the computer and type a letter to all...but yesterday was president's day...which means that all the local libraries would be closed. This last week has been quite eventful. Earlier in the week, we went into Charlottesville because my companion had a cold. That was a bummer for him. Because we didn't have an appointment it took us beyond hours to get in to see someone. This week was also transfer calls week. I just found out that I'm gonna be going to a new area called Harrisonburg. it's even farther west than my last area. really close to west Virginia. Anyways I have been going and trying to get some last minute work into Louisa and you'll be amazed to hear that Granny...The one who is refusing to be "Dunked" as she called it...COMMITTED TO BE BAPTIZED! What a trooper. 92 and still anxious to learn the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I'm so Happy For Her!!!!!!!
Elder Matthews Is sticking around in Louisa, So I'll have to keep in touch with him and make sure that Peggy and now Granny are Baptized so they can enjoy the Spirit Even More so now :)
Yesterday, On Preparation day, we had some of the Elders from the Rivannah area come down and spend the day with us. We played a game of Football and in one particular play, Elder LeSueur, One of the Rivannah elders, made a full body dive to 2 hand touch one Elder Thompson, The Other elder in that area. He ate the dirt, and the Horse Manueur and when he got up we were laughing pretty hard...that is until he said dude i think there's something wrong with my Shoulder.
The Rest of the P-Day was spent driving to Charlottesville and going to the emergency room, where we found out that he had separated his shoulder. All they could do for it though was give it a sling and give him some pain meds. It has been pretty good week though and the work has been more than amazing out here in little Louisa County. The Lord has plans for me in the area of Harrisonburg and i plan on doing all i can to prepare to carry out His plan. I am so grateful for all your support and your love and if there's possibly anything That i can do to be of assistance, Let me know. I Love each of you and would love to hear from you
Love,
Elder Curtis Ross Hickman
