| Letter from Elder Holmes! |
It's been a great yet extremely tiring week! We have been so busy that I'm pretty sure I have lost all but one of my marbles.
We had MLC this week, and as always, I loved every second of it.
The training's were prime. Sister Evans and I lucked out and didn't have
to train this time around! So we got to sit back and soak it all in,
which I was really grateful for. We had the privilege of watching the
new Easter initiative, and you guys. It is SO good. I am so excited for
ya'll to see it!!

| MLC |
The Milton Sisters (Sister Brown, Sister Willis and Sister Carter)
came down to Tallahassee after MLC for an exchange, and it was SO much
fun! It was so good being comps with Sister Brown for a little bit. I
have missed her, and it was so fun to reminisce on good ole MTC days.
We saw SO many miracles on our exchange. We met some super prepared
people, and derek has such an incredible missionary. He is doing SO
well, and I couldn't be happier. AH! HE IS PERFECT!!!
We are teaching a guy named Melvin, who is from India, and he is
HILARIOUS. He has the coolest story in the world and is sincerely
seeking for the truth. He stayed with a Mormon host family in Utah, and
went to church and Temple Square, talked with missionaries there, then
came here and found us! He has an incredible story and we are praying
that he receives and answer to his prayers that THIS church is true!! He
leaves for India in two weeks and we are really bummed about it.
Also, as we were teaching Melvin, we were sitting outside of a
grocery store on some tables, and this homeless man with a shopping cart
walks up and starts staring at us. So we stop talking and ask if we can
help him. He goes on to tell us a TON of false doctrine and really out
there stuff while yelling, and proceeds to tell us that we are preaching
lies to a world that doesn't even care. It was quite the experience!
After he walked away, Melvin says "What was he talking about?! He has
lost his mind!" hahaha we all just laughed and talked about how
important it is to pray to know the truth. Oh, the joys of a mission!
OH! and I GOT MY FIRST LETTER STRAIGHT FROM ARGENTINA! Day= MADE. Love you Cade!
I'll end with this experience. Last night was really hard, harder
than usual. As I was saying my prayers I asked Heavenly Father for an
extra portion of strength to overcome how I was feeling. I was
overwhelmed by the spirit of Elijah and I know with everything that I am
that Grandma Dixie was kneeling right beside me giving me a hug. The
power of the other side of the veil is real. Heavenly Father is so
aware of us and knows exactly what we need. He loves us. He loves us so
much!
I love this gospel. I am so grateful to be serving a mission.
Hope ya'll have a wonderful week!
Sister Holmes
