I don’t feel like writing an email this week. I’m trying to talk Hna Noble into forwarding part of her email to me to send. I have been sickish for a while, but today it’s a lot worse. I think it’s because Hna Noble and I were trying to clean the house today and there’s so much dust. We live with members so, usually we just stick with our bedroom and bathroom, but they’re out of town for a funeral so we decided to try and clean up for them while they’re gone. Progress is slow so far, and I coughed up some black stuff afterwards. I’m assuming it’s dust. Continue reading “doorbell ditching”
Never suppress a generous thought
Because I’m in the VC and I have the crummy schedule where almost all of my Pdays are Tuesdays instead of Monday.
The other day I was working in the VC and Hna Falcon came and asked me to start a movie for them and their investigator Carlos. She told me that they were going to watch this Mormon Message Continue reading “Never suppress a generous thought”
Wedding With a Bounce House
DULCE AND PASCUAL GOT MARRIED!
I feel like this is the first step in taking this area back from Satan. A little melodramatic… maybe, but this is my life. Continue reading “Wedding With a Bounce House”
Missionary equals no shame
So, last week, I forgot to tell you that Elder Bednar came and I got to shake his hand. He said, “Good morning, Sister Holladay.” At first I was geeking out that he knew my name but then I remembered we always where name tags. Continue reading “Missionary equals no shame”
Emancipated Minor
I’ll just start by answering your questions.
Remind us again what your monthly budget is. Does rent come out of that amount, or is that taken care of by the mission?
125.00 roughly 4 dollars a day. Currently I’m down to 10 for the rest of the month. We’ll see how it goes. Rent gets paid by the mission office, and we have a separate card we use for gas.
Science Museum
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”

Halo!
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!”
It cooled down just to heat up again
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. Continue reading “It cooled down just to heat up again”
Hello, I love you, Send me things
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.
