Happy October 10th!
This week has been a crazy one!
We've been staying super busy, and I feel like we've been running around
like chickens with our heads cut off, but that's okay, we're still
alive and kickin!
On Monday we went to Wakulla
Springs with the sisters in our district, and it was SO much fun!! It
was GORGEOUS. I didn't want to leave! It's a very historic place, and I
fell in love. We took a boat tour and got to see some manatee's and
alligators!!! say what!! First of all, manatees are GINORMOUS. Second of
all, gators are freaky. Talk about dinosaurs! I wouldn't want to be
chased by one of them, that's all I'm sayin. It was way fun though, and
it was super nice to be able to do something fun on P-day! 
This week also had a lot of funny moments :)
-I was asked about my dating life, and then given advice.
-We were asked if we were high on marijuana... um... NO. The gospel is just that good!
-I
spent the night in Perry, FL... in a TRAILER... in the middle of the
woods... Those sisters are troopers. While there I got eaten alive by
sand gnats... What even are sand gnats?! I also opened the door to
realize there was a snake, on TOP of the door, preparing to pounce on
two baby frogs. Terrifying. I'm very grateful I live in the city.
aannddd...
-I butt called 911.. yeah.. oops! I'm cursed with butt calling people. It's really bad. haha
We
also had some pretty awesome miracle moments. We found the most
genuinely prepared kid on campus this week. We sat and taught him on the
spot, and he felt the spirit SO strong. He asked so many incredible
questions, and agreed with everything! His name is Derek and we are so
grateful that Heavenly Father led us right to him!
It's
been a really crazy week, and I know more happened, but I am SO brain
dead today!!! But I'm super sad because Sister Wood leaves this week. :(
We've been trying to get that all ready, and stuff. but all in all it
was an awesome week, and I still love being a missionary :)
To
end, I want to bear testimony that this gospel is so true, and that as
we continually seek the spirit, we will be led to where we need to be. I
know that He is VERY aware of our heartaches, pains, frustrations and
joys. He loves us and wants us to be happy, and all we need to do is
allow Him to bless us.
I'm so grateful. So so grateful.
Love all ya'll!!!
Sister Holmes
and ELDER HOLMES! Welcome to the mission field!!! Happy Birthday Buddy!!!
