Adventures of the Holladay family…
The latest on what is happening with our missionaries.
Hey Fam Bam
I got a letter from Hna Falcon the other day. She told me that Dad had contacted her about the trip and she wants me to reassure you that it wouldn’t be a problem for us to stay at their house. She also talked about tacos al pastor, and sprinting to the finish.
We’ve definitely seen an upturn this week. Continue reading “the secret to being skinny”
What’s the funniest thing that has happened lately?
Well last night our investigator Augustin (he’s the one who miraculously showed up to church last week) asked me and my ‘amiga’ out to dinner. It was pretty funny but I’m actually pretty stressed out about it. Augustin has meet with us about three times this week, and he’s always willing to go to whatever we invite him to. He doesn’t know how to read but he just started listening to the Book of Mormon on CD yesterday, and he loves it, or so we hope…. Hopefully it’s not that he just loves 20 something American girls.

I’m trying not to fall into the trap of reading my emails before I write my letter this week… Well, it’s been hard lately because I’ve kind of felt like my area is dying, and technically I think it must be my fault because I’ve been here FOREVER so it’s my responsibility to work the area the right way… and we haven’t had any investigators in church for two weeks, and everyone we’ve been teaching… keeps dropping us.

Well, I don’t know what to say about this week. I have a ton of pictures I need to load but some how I ended up here without my camera and cord. Seriously, I’ve had the bag with my camera and stuff out for like 2 days already, because I’ve been planning on taking care of picture stuff.
Well, a whole stinking lot has happened but I probably won’t tell you about most of it until tomorrow. Mostly Hna Watkins was transferred to the escondido branch and Hna Cottrell came to be my companion. We had to switch houses, because she’s pretty much allergic to everything, and couldn’t live with all the animals at the Pratt’s house. Hna Watkins and I took a bunch of silly photos/ did a bunch of silly things right before she left. I think the past three transfers where I was with Hna Noble and then Hna Watkins are probably the most fun I’ve ever had in my life. Transfers was a little hard on me, just because I hate moving and change is always hard. I’m excited for Christmas and I think I’m going to buy a pair of jeans today 😮 Continue reading “Merry Christmas II”
Allison finally got baptized!!! Yay!!! She’s been waiting about four months since we started teaching her to figure out all her crazy paper problems… Well, they weren’t that crazy it’s just kind of complicated because she was/is illegal and she needed to get her passport. (Now that she has her passport she just needs a stamp in it). She had to go to Belize city to order her passport from Honduras (she lost it a couple years ago when they moved or something like that) but she finally got her passport! (Really late, but that’s beside the point..)

Sorry about not writing last week. I feel like a ton of stuff has happened in the last couple weeks with my new comp, Hna Villatoro. She is finishing her mission the 15th of January (the day Hannah starts!!! Yay!!) And so my last companion will be the only one who will still be here in the mission when I go home.

How many transfers are left for both of you? I think Rachel said she was on her last transfer, but that would be almost 8 weeks. Is that right?
I’m going to start my last transfer on Wednesday. It will be 7 weeks long, and I’m getting a new companion. Hna Cottrell. She’s from Utah, and was also trained by Hna Fors. It’s interesting because she’s coming to my area but she’s already served here before.

Well way to stink it up family, and not even email me. This email is probably going to be a little short because the Elders are huddled around trying to talk to us. I am not going to miss Elders let me tell you what. Anyways, I know I’m the worst email writer ever, but I for reals have no idea what happened this week. Continue reading “13.5 hours”
