Hey familia,
Well it’s memorial day! so nobody emails. However, we asked the ZLs if we could just email anyways since we do it at the church and they said sure. Now I’m regretting this decision, because none of my mission buddies emailed me yet. Dang. Not to mention you guys. So eh.. I checked my mula in the banco, to make sure if I randomly use personal funds I’m not using money I don’t have. Looks like I’m good. Only thing that was really depressing to me was my savings. I don’t think this kid is going back to school.. ever…
So new comp this week! Her name is Hermana Robison. The one mom met before my mission who I didn’t meet. Go figure! I like her a ton. She is super passionate about a lot of things, and she is funny, and she is really good at teaching the gospel. I’m a big fan we talk a lot and it makes days that aren’t super chalked full go by much quicker. Rachel you would like her a lot, she reminds me of you, except she’s nicer;). Probably because we are still in the little honey moon phase or whatever.
Maria and Samuel came to this baptism yesterday, however they showed up about 30 seconds too late and missed the actual baptism. So that was disappointing. BUUT we are about to go teach them, so that’ll be awesome.
Carmen (afraid of water) we had quite an experience with. We came and started talking with her to find out that her husband had been choking her the day before and that she had called the police and he should be out of her life for good. It’s a really terrible thing that happened, but I can’t help but thinking that it is for the best in her life. She needs to be an agent unto herself. I hope her husband figures things out someday, but right now I think somebody just really needs to release some righteous anger on that man.
The work is good. I’m doing good! Thank you Papa-dawg for saving my life with that GPS. I actually get around better than I thought, but it’s really useful when we have dinner with members I’ve never heard of before who live in the middle of nowhere (even more so than the regular middle of nowhere) So it has come in handy! it came right in time. Thank you thank you.
Well I love you all to bits. I’ll be expecting my weekly letter! I always appreciate it. Maybe try to get the munchkins to put something in, that would be good!
Hermana Holladay
