Hey Family-
This is a picture of my ward mission Leader’s daughter the one who said the quote above (she also comes out with us faithfully), me, Brother Lougee (WML), and Jorge.:) We were eating root-beer floats after our lesson last night, so an obvious highlight to my world.
This week has been a very typical missionary week. Although we are sad because Luis is going out of town most of the week, and he is just the sweetest darn thing in the world. We taught him the word of wisdom, and he just drinks coffee and when I asked him if he would live it, he was like “yes! I’m sorry I didn’t know this was a rule before. I’ll start trying now.” Then he told us about how much he loves his grandchildren and how he can be around them without getting annoyed since he started learning about the gospel. He’s just such a funny man.
We found these hilarious new investigators for the Elders. Their names are Balinda and Hati. They’re so cute and have these little Southern accents like you wouldn’t believe. Hati is already telling us about how it will be if she goes to church.
So this week wasn’t super eventful, so I am going to do a list of ten things I have learned from my mission that have little to no eternal significance:
So this week wasn’t super eventful, so I am going to do a list of ten things I have learned from my mission that have little to no eternal significance:
- I’ve learned how to racial profile a house, to make tracting more effective.
- I’ve learned if you aren’t coughing from the fumes than it is not spicy!
- I’ve learned all about what not to do in a marriage. (that may have some eternal significance, it’s just funny how freely people give advice).
- If you wear a sweater and a belt, your skirts don’t have to zip up all the way.
- The Seahawks are the greatest football team in the world. If you don’t route for them you are brain dead.
- Laughing is a much more effective pass time than tears.
- Every time a door is slammed in your face, someone in heaven is getting baptized.
- To be a real mexican you must 1. Speak spanish 2. eat spicy foods 3. be generally accepted as a mexican.
- Holladay is just not a word that can be pronounced correctly.
- If you fall asleep during study your comp has free reign to throw whatever they want at you. 🙂
That’s all,
Love you.
Love you.
Hermana Holladay
Did Estela make it to church?
Nope 🙁 maybe she isn’t my Estela after all… maybe she is….

Did you ever get your valentine’s package?
Yes I got it! thank you!! BTW. sorry I’m ungrateful, and forgot to say thank you. The post here is crazy so I definitely didn’t get it on Valentine’s day.. Basically everything takes a week or more.
Is there a better way to send mail than to the mission home?
PO box 90
Umatilla, OR 97882
Do you expect to be in the area you are now in for a while?
Well I expect to die here… but, I wasn’t expecting to leave my last area after just one transfer either. I assume I will be here for a while though.
Fill us in a bit more on your new companion.
She’s super spaztic and it’s super entertaining. She wears hipster glasses, and has cute clothes, and we are the same size. (that’s super awesome). She wants to be an accountant, and is going to marry this massive giant named Eli. She’s fun! We have a blast together. We are hoping to buy some footies on sale at walmart today, if you know I mean. she’s cool.
