I have acne! can you believe it? I mean I´ve had acne before, but not very bad acne, and never around my nose. I´ve got crazy acne on and around my nose. It´s kind of wierd, and this started about a day and a half ago so I´m not used to it yet. So I arrived in Chile last week on Tuesday morning. There were 12 new missionaries total that day. It was fun. Continue reading “Week 1 in Chile”
Mission President’s Welcome
Dear Family of Sister Holladay,
Sister May and I are delighted to inform you that we have welcomed Sister Holladay to the Chile Concepcion South Mission. We went to the Mission office for almuerzo (lunch) after welcoming her to Concepcion. Enclosed is a photograph taken on that occasion in the Mission office. Later we had an orientation meeting in which your daughter met Sister Clark, her first companion and trainer. Sister Clark is an excellent missionary and was prayerfully chosen for this calling. They are assigned to work in the San Pedro Zone, in the La Marina sector of our mission. Continue reading “Mission President’s Welcome”
Week 3 (the end is nigh)
Hola,
so I leave for the mission on Monday. My flight leaves at 7 pm and it´s 8 hours long, then when we arrive we wait 4 hours and have another 1 and a half hour flight to get us down to our mission. So we´ll arrive early in the morning on Tuesday. Hopefully we can sleep, but I don´t know if that will happen, because my sweet companion doesn´t sleep well on planes and I don´t want to leave her awake and lonesome.

My flight here was kind of lonesome. I was the only sister missionary and I sat next to a sweet old guy who I said like 1 word to in the whole flight. Afterwards I got some help from some mormon sisters who were visiting one of their parents who are serving here in Mexico. I got through the airport pretty easily, til the end where I didn´t find the MTC driver right away. Continue reading “CCM de Mexico”
Arrival at the CCM
I am alive and well. I don´t know how to use a spanish keyboard so this is very difficult. I definitely don´t know enough spanish, I can´t understand half of what everybody is saying, but I will figure it out. I didn´t get here until 6:00 so I don´t have any news yet. All the people here are really nice, but I think the sweet brothers and sisters from the dominican republic think I don´t speak a lick of spanish, because my brain is fried and I don´t understand them today. I´m surprisingly not too upset though with all the confusion and inability to comunicate. I´m mostly excited for the challenge. By the way I don´t know how to spell Rachels email address so please forward this to her and then send me her address in another email.
