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.
This week we taught Ernestina and Rubin, Ernestina has been reading the Book of Mormon and she LOVES it. She knows exactly what is happening and has been highlighting. I shared one of my favorite scriptures with her and she highlighted it.
Saturday we were at a baptism, and we got a call from President Ware. He said that as a mission we are trying to strengthen the base, and that each transfer there will be 2 STLs and 2 ZLs taken out of their assignments. Yeup, I am the first to go 🙂 I’m now being transferred to Umatilla to serve with Hermana Jackson. Hermana X will be leaving. IF you don’t remember who that is, she is the one who served in Warden before I got there. If you still don’t remember who that is, well, good for you.
My Zone Leader Elder Y (my favorite zone leader to date) also got taken out and will be serving with a missionary who at one point still had two personal cell phones. The way he told me was by busting me during the baptism. It is a weird feeling. We won’t be able to see anyone really anymore. I have Hermana Larson’s word that she will keep me updated on all the whale stories at MLC. 🙂 and now I don’t have to deal with anyone’s drama but my companions.
We have seen miracles. I know I’m supposed to be in Umatilla, even though I’m way bummed to leave this phenomenal place and branch. I’ll be serving in a spanish group, and translating for whatever hispanics we can get there. I know there is a lot of work to be done, so I’ll roll up my sleeves and be exhausted. Pray for us 🙂
I love you! I’m glad Rachel found a job. I’m glad she wont get married until I’m home. I’m also glad that everyone is doing well. Bek is still partying in India.
love,
Hermana Holladay

What does your companion like to eat most? Does she have a favorite treat? (maybe we could send you both some favorite treats for valentine’s day)
well ask me next week when I’ve met her. Hermana Larson is trying not to eat treats right now.. so I eat extra treats 🙂
Are the members referring for you? Are they working to befriend investigators?
The members in Moses Lake are AMAZING. they do it all.
Zach Porter gets home tomorrow. Doesn’t it seem like time is just flying?
Eh.. yeah.. You could say that again.
Also Brittany will be back on the 19th of February. She is getting released almost a month early. Do they have s set schedule for your mission?
I go home in July that’s all I know.. UNLESS, I extend 😀 that would be good.
Demoted- and it feels so good–
