Family of mine-
So this is going to be short and sweet because I have to write that dumb scholarship thing, even though everybody knows I can’t write right now.
This week was SOOOO good.

“Be the Avon Lady on steroids.” President Ware
Influenza
The Beautiful world-
So, I have never had a sick day on my mission…. until now! Tuesday AKA my last day in Moses Lake, Hermana Larson scratched her cornea because she freaked out about dropping an eyelash in her eye. She also can’t just sit with one eye closed, she has to close both of them. So I was leading her around like a blind person, until it wasn’t bearable and we went home. Then I got her to Umatilla and my new comp Hermana Jackson has the flu.
It’s been crazy and I’ll tell you right now there is not a whole lot you can do to entertain yourself as a missionary. So I have gotten to know my companion really well. The bright side is she is LEGIT. We are havin’ a blast. Continue reading “Influenza”
Courage not just willingness to die manfully but determination to live decently
Everybody I love-
So we had an incredibly tough week. A lot of rejection, and break downs, and chaos. The bright side is amidst it all we had a lot of tender mercies. I know how incredibly the Lord is involved in all that we do, and where we go, and what we say.
Guns, coyotes, and wildabeasts
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. Continue reading “Guns, coyotes, and wildabeasts”
Many are Called
Greetings Everybody,
Well another week come and gone. It was another lengthy one to say the least.
Every week things just seem to be blurrier and blurrier.
President Ware came to do interviews, I guess we can start there. He came and started out with “you have all felt my love at one time or another…” anyways it wasn’t very pretty. He sort of just destroyed us all with his words. Then each interview took AT LEAST 15 minutes. My companion and I had to do our interviews at the end, so we were there ALL DAY. Honestly I don’t think we left until six. Then when it came time for our interviews hna Larson got pulled in and then he said, “you know what Hermana Holladay, Elder Lee, Elder Cantrell come in here too.” So we went in and had a meeting that lasted about an hr in place of having an actual interview with him. Dang! I wanted an interview.

“I feel beautiful inside”
Family, Friends, others-
Well it’s another one of those weeks where I have nothing much to say. We were teaching our branch president’s daughter the Restoration (you do what priesthood asks) and when we asked her how it made her feel that Joseph Smith saw God and Jesus, she said, “I feel happy, and it makes me feel confident. I feel beautiful inside.” I thought it was one of the best ways to describe feeling the spirit. I’m serious if my investigators were half as spiritual as that eight year old girl, we would be having a lot more baptisms. Haha

Seasons Greetings-
Well, This week was unbelievably slow. I think everyone fled from Warden for the week/ there was a text going around not to answer their doors no matter what! haha we had a nice struggle trying not to die of boredom. On the bright side it wasn’t nearly as cold this week. 🙂
