6/28 Paris, ID

Honestly not much has changed in the past week. We are still consistently trying to find more teaching opportunities. Me and my companion, Elder Felton, are getting along really well and work really well together. I really started to notice this when we were teaching this less active and he had a ton of questions for us and he didn't really like the answers that we were giving him but lesson really well and me and my companion were really good at noticing when the other was getting a little frustrated and we would transition really well and give the other a break and time to cool down. I hope that everyone had an opportunity to watch the worldwide leadership training broadcast from the general authorities. It was amazing and is a really eye opener on how the church feels about missionary work. I feel like the church is pushing for a dramatic increase in missionary work and bringing others to restored gospel of Jesus Christ. If you did not watch it I recommend all to watch the video because the training was great for all members of the church. Oh and in the video when they were talking about missionaries getting the internet they were talking about how each missionary will be getting an iPad and each companionship will get an iPhone. These devices will be used to replace area books and daily planners and to teach people over the internet. This month alone in the Ogden mission there has been around 30 lessons over Facebook and face time. This is already being tested in a zone in both the Salt Lake and Ogden missions and once it passes it will move on to the whole missions (Salt Lake and Ogden) and once it passes that trial it will be spred out throughout many other missions including the Idaho Pocatello Mission :) So now that I am moving missions I will have to wait a little bit longer to get those but I should have the opportunity to use them by the end of my mission. I will be creating an Elder Curtis facebook page because there has already been a couple auxiliaries in the Paris Stake that have asked to add me and my companion so everyone should add me :) I will post a link below.

Just look up this email: james.curtis@myldsmail.net in the facebook search box to find me I haven't put up a picture yet but that will find me
