So, surprise!! I’m with another Gringa!! What the–Hna Ellis?? I am now in an area called Modelo, with my gringa companion from Miami, Florida. I thought maybe they were kicking me out of Candelaria so that I would be with a Latina and speak Spanish, but I guess not. She has 10 months in the mission, so I’m still the Jr Companion, and I had my 9 month mark yesterday, so that was cool.

Trying not to get upset about the pressures of writing…
Well that was a long time answering questions today. I don’t really understand Dad’s question… yeah… I’m not really writing in my journal either… I really need to start figuring out what I’m doing I guess. I guess I’m losing my interest in writing because I’m getting old in the mission now… I’m finally learning how to pay better attention and learning things and people faster…

Week 5
Well, it seems that every time I get on here my mind goes blank. There must have been some things that happened that would be interesting to know about, but they sure hide from me when I get on here. Um, someone read my palms and asked me if I was really nervous, if I liked to swim, and if I have really fragile health.
April Birthdays, and Service
So the picture is of celebrating Abril birthdays at home, and though you can’t read it, it says, “Hermano Holladay” on there (I think it’s because the Elder didn’t want to try and write out Matthew). Continue reading “April Birthdays, and Service”
Palm Reading
Well, I’m gonna try and send a couple pictures and write fast, because I keep accidentally… taking way too long to do email. We only do forty-five minutes supposedly, but all the missionaries do it longer, and so… that makes it harder to have self-control when other people are taking too long.

I hope they call me on a mission…
I’m sorry my letters have been boring lately. I get tired of writing
week after week and not being able to tell about someone getting
baptized… I took the Christ Attributes test in Preach my Gospel,
and I scored everything up. The only area I got an F in was
Patience… and I got like a D in hope… So, I guess that tells me
where I need to improve in my Christlike qualities… Don’t really
want to admit to anything else about that test, but I only got like an
A in Humility (how does that even work?).

Sensunapan… Adios.
Zuleyma didn’t get baptized. She changed her mind at the last minute again. And Paty told Stephanie (a girl in our ward who has visited her with us sometimes) that she wanted to get baptized after all. I’m really not sure what to believe about Paty. I think she is partially motivated to go to church for the right reasons, but she is also asking people things and I think her main interest in the church is to go to Girl’s Camp. Sadly her Mom and Grandma, who wanted us to teach her, have all the sudden become angry enemies of the church… So hopefully some day in the future Paty can get baptized…

funny story…
So, you know that inspiring story I told you all last week about Paty? Yeah… she dropped us. Investigators are kind of like revelation. Really confusing. And you pretty much never know who’s going to be positive and who isn’t the first visit or two, and then the persons you think are positive throw you for a loop when they decide to reject something for some reason randomly.

what we wish would reveal what is in the letter…
Dear Fam,
Really have to be pretty brief because we went to acujutla today to eat at a seafood place (yeah, you can imagine how excited I was about that) by the beach… It was fun, but I have at last gotten my first sunburn. Wahoo!!! I gave my sunscreen to a lady in the ward who super needed it, and now I just have a lotion that’s probably spf 5 which works for most of the time since I’ve been out in the sun every day for 6 mths… it’s like your skin gets an immunity.
