Well let’s just go through the week.
Monday- We taught such a good lesson. It was with Maria who I have ish taught here and there. The first time I met her she said, “I have been talking to missionaries for 30 yrs there is nothing you can tell me that I don’t already know.” So anyways she was telling us on Monday that her son is making bad decision, and he knows better. Well Hmmmm Maria, that sounds a little bit familiar, kind of like how our heavenly father feels about you every day! And then we pounded her with the spirit and said, “Maria, you know. Your Heavenly Father knows that you know, and what are you doing about it?” Then in her prayer she committed to ask for time off so she can come to church and to read the book of Mormon. It was awesome.
Well truth be told I don’t actually know what happened through the rest of the week in the right order because I’m too lazy to go get my planner.
Luiz and Lucy- They are both strongly addicted to like every kind of drug known to man. Then one day they hit rock bottom and called our zone leaders. We have been teaching them and then one day we went to a member Sister Roylance and she gave us tons of delicious left overs that we were so pumped to eat. We then had a lesson with Luiz and Lucy, they literally had no food in their house. So we went back and doorbell ditched the food with them. They came to church yesterday, and they haven’t had drugs in about a week and a half. Luiz almost left yesterday, but President Cole (our branch President) stopped him and helped them out. They’re awesome.
So Rosi is the one who her sister is a member and a return missionary. We taught her on Wednesday and she said the following, “We have a lot, we have our family, our home, jobs, our health, but there is something missing. That’s why I called you.” Then throughout the lesson she said, “this just feels good.” In her prayer she cried. I think she already knows that this is the true church, the challenge will be getting the rest of her family to come along with her. I am SOOO excited about her though. It’s a miracle in the making.
Today we have MLC so Hermana Larson and I will be driving down into Kennewick to spend the night and then sit in our fun meeting all day. Hopefully it is more like the second MLC and less like the first one.
I love you all, I enjoyed your letters. Also shout out to aunt Rosie for the Package, I didn’t even open the presents. Even though Christmas is way far away 🙂 I am guessing that’s because your son is in Mexico.
Thanks mom for the news.
Mom and Dad your Halloween costumes were awesome. You should always dress up.
James you’re the man, just wait for like 10 months and then a whole slew of women will come home.
Matt- Do your homework and write me.
Elly- Thanks for the three sentence letter.
Beks- You’re hilarious and always make me laugh.
Rachel- I’m praying that you find a job.
The three older ones, get married. Everyone is always shocked when I say that I’m the fourth kid and that I don’t have any siblings married. 🙂
Love you all a ton-
Hermana Holladay
