Well today we have temple Pday which is why you are just now getting my email. Let’s just say we really needed to have a temple trip. It was just the refreshing boost you need.
To go over the last week I had exchanges with my good old MTC companion Hermana Williams. It was a blast! We got to reminisce about the MTC and what all we have done so far on our missions. We talked to some really interesting people. We found this house that had a dead coyote. As we walked up to the door we found that there was a lovely sign that said “we don’t dial 911” with a pistol. Lovely, we can see that. So of course the person who answers the door is a girl who probably weighs 110 lbs and has a fake tan and acrylic nails. Not really what I was expecting.
Hermana Larson and I have been finding new investigators like crazy, and then we have been dropping our new investigators like crazy. It’s a vicious cycle really. We are working our fannys off, and it has been wildly unsuccessful in the ways of outward success. Anyone we have really found who is ready for the gospel we end up giving to another set of missionaries.
We have two investigators thought who I am really excited about. One is named Rubin and the other Ernestina. Rubin has SO many questions, and I think he just really wants someone to prove him wrong. They are so funny to talk to, and I can just feel something really amazing with them every time I’m around them.
Love you all,
Hermana Holladay
How is the work going there in the shiny metropolis of Moses Lake?
Mainly I’m just glad you call it a shiny metropolis Dad. It’s alright, we give other missionaries great referrals like crazy.
What’s the funniest thing anyone has said to you while tracting?
I couldn’t really say the funniest thing ever… but this week a guy told us about how one time his room mates called after one of the Mormon commercials to have the missionaries come see him and help him out of a dark place. He thought it was so hilarious…
Also people love to yell at you how they are christian quickly followed by and expletive. 🙂
What does your companion like to do for fun?
She’s from San Diego.. SO pretty much the world is in her hands. She has the beach… But she goes to BYU Idaho.. Hmmm.
