Well again this week was not
super exciting. we've had our struggles. My patience has been tried.... But
don't worry about me, its the work of salvation and there's nothing bad about,
it :0 I"m still having a blast, but just been a long week and many times i
just was frustrated about little things. But today is good. I had a great fast
yesterday and it really boosted me up today. The work is just slow, were really
struggling to get those new investigators and so Hopefully It will pick up this
week. thats what i said last week, but at least we have appointments and lists
of people we can visit now. I Think the problem now is making sure they will be
in the house. So yeah, were going on exchanges tommorow. So im excited and it
will be good :) i love exchanges, not becasue i want to get away from my comp,
but just to get to know other missionaries. Anyways. Here are some fun
storries for this week.
Last night, We get home at like
9:10 were putting our stuff down and then i sit in my chair and elder Delgado
sits in his and about that same time, I feel a big jolt and Vibration, but only
lasted for like 2 seconds. Now since i've felt 2 earthquakes before i knew
exactly what that was, And so i told elder Delgado that it was an earthquake.
He didnt believe me so we walked out side and then our neighbor also walked out
and we came to the conclusion that it was an earthquake, but a really small
one. So maybe in a couple of weeks we will have another bigger one. that's what
happened last year.
Story #2. so we had dinner at a
returning member family. They are super cool. and we get out there and their
house is kind of small and there was no man so we just sat outside and had the
carne asada, under the tree and porch. And after we were done eating, we were
just talking and then we hear this rustling in the tree above us and so we kind
of stopped and looked up so we could avoid being hit. we thought it was a
branch or something that was stuck in the tree. I was looking up and i saw this
brown thing that looked like a branch, come down and it was about 8 inches away
from my head. then it hit the chair that i had been sitting in, and rolled to
the ground. so i went to look down to see what it was and IT RAN!!!!! Needless
to say, a rat fell from the tree and almost hit my head. it was about 6 inches
long with out the tail.... The sister freaked out! because it landed right in
between me and her.
Story #3. So this is not so
much funny, but just a little awkward on what we both did. so we contacted this
lady on the street, she was probably mid 20s she told us we could stop by on
Saturday, we contacted her on Thursday. So we came by on Saturday, and she was
like "im busy" so we just tried to see if we could get in for like 15
min. then she is like well its that i just had my baby on Friday..... Awkward.
it didnt seem like she was pregnant, but apparently she was, and on Thursday
went to the hospital the next day and had her baby.... And we had no idea and
when she told us that, at first i didn't think she was telling the truth, but
then i put it all together and believed her, but we both just looked at each
other and didn't know what to say to her..... It was super awkward.... But we
will be seeing her later this week.
But yeah, That has been my
week! I'm so thankful for your prayers and Support! Stay Strong, and I hope you
all continue to get things out of conference and keep learning From living day
Prophets. I listened to a few talks this morning, and i learned even more
things! its great, i love inspired people! its like God is talking straight to
me!
Love you all!
Elder Hollingshead
Ok thanks so much mom. Oh and Elder Anderson is from Mesa???
i had no idea. Ill have to read that talk again, I remembered it being a great
one that really spoke to me! Thanks for your love and support, ill always be
grateful for it. My companion is the only member in his family, and i really
see a good desire, but he still learning a lot. He was baptized end of may
2013, and so he really doesn't have much time as a member, but he really has a
great testimony. I love you all.
