Adventures of the Holladay family…
The latest on Rachel’s mission.
Well my dears, it’s been a pretty fun day but unfortunately that’s left me without much time to write. I’m afraid I’m not going to get around to letters again. Which makes me feel really bad. I really do want to write people back when they write me but there’s never enough time. Continue reading “Science Museum”
OK, well my birthday was a success. I got three different kinds of cake, and I got pizza with my favorite senior couple! Your package did get here on time so THANKS! I also got a little something something from Angie, and Aunt Rosie. The day after I wore the skirt mom sent and earrings from Angie, and I was going to take a photo, but then… I didn’t. My birthday really was great, and it was really sweet because Hna Noble was really worried about it being awesome. All week I got away with just about everything, because it was my birthday. All week. She’s also the one who set up the dinner with the Livingstons. We also had a miracle that day and we’re able to get two new investigators… actually, it was a miracle week because we found 10. Yesss. There’s soo many Spanish speakers in this area it’s crazy. I could go tracting and it would be effective. I’m not even kidding right now. Continue reading “Halo!”
I’m not sure what to say about my first couple of days in Liahona 1st I haven’t been able to spend as much time out working as I would like. Between the VC and weekly planning I really haven’t gotten to do much. I have been working on my street contacting skills, because Sis Noble isn’t quite confident enough in her Spanish yet to be very bold with talking to everyone, and like I said before EVERYONE is Hispanic in this area.

So, this week I will hit the one year mark. Crazy, isn’t it? Yeah, my personal grooming standards, that weren’t very high to begin with, have lowered even further while being on a mission. My hair hasn’t been cut in over 4 transfers, but I’m going to try to get it done today… we’ll see. It also means it’s been a year since I… did lots of things.
Today I am really cranky, because someone made a comment on my Spanish and it hurt my feelings. So, this is probably going to be short. There were some miracles this week. My favorite one is that Luis bore his testimony in Sacrament meeting yesterday. He’s getting baptized this Saturday and I’m pretty stoked. I haven’t had very many baptisms on my mission, but I feel like the people I have been able to help teach have really great testimonies, and it’s a huge blessing. I worry about Ana I still don’t really know what happened to her. Last I heard she was in Venezuela, but I don’t even know why she ended up being deported. 🙁 I wish I had more time to figure it out.
I am going to try really hard to remember the things that happened this week.
*We were praying that Luis would be willing to move his baptismal date up so, he pushed it back. 🙁 Continue reading “Hello Family”
Sorry again about last weeks email. Not sure what happened. This week has been pretty good. Lots of little struggles still. We’ve been sent out full field so, we decided to try and get to know all the apartment complexes and streets in the area a little better. So, we walked from one end of our area to the other during the least productive part of the day 12-3 oh wait, also the hottest part of the day. Also because we were going to be walking a lot I decided to wear my ugly sister missionary shoes. Bad idea. I ended up with roughly 10-12 blisters. I am NEVER going to wear those shoes again.
