Wow. What a week it has been!
Last weekend was B-R-U-T-A-L. There were three days worth of
goodbyes to my Tallahassee family, and that was not fun! I'm surprised
our apartment didn't flood with tears! But, we'll be together again
soon. :)
For my last P-day in Tally we went biking with Lloyd through the
most BEAUTIFUL trail. It was breathtaking! I was bummed that I had been
there a year and just BARELY found it! It was such an adventure and
definitely needed! We even got to witness an alligator jump into the
water from an island! it was ginormous! SO MUCH FUN!!!!!!

I also came to the terrible realization that I have accumulated SO
MUCH CRAP over the last year. haha packing was a joke. But I did pretty
good at squeezing it all into my three suitcases :)
Transfers were crazy, but I finally got with Sister Carter and made
the few hour drive to Milton! It is so pretty here! Dad, you would like
it. It's definitely country!!
Sister Carter is from California and is Polynesian! She is a total
sweet heart and full of happiness. I'm excited for this transfer with
her!
My first couple days here in Milton I got to pet a duck, a chicken,
watched two elderly women in wheelchairs have a cat fight (terrifying
and hilarious haha), had a vegetable dinner at a members home (HELP),
been to some pretty country, redneck places, have had a couple little
four year old boys flirt with me, and experienced a very interesting
sunday school. Needless to say, there hasn't been a dull moment since I
got here!
I am SO grateful to be serving a mission. Nothing has filled my
heart with more light. I can never and will never deny the truthfulness
of the restored gospel. Jesus Christ lives, the priesthood is on the
earth today, and a great and marvelous work is in full force! I LOVE
BEING A MISSIONARY!!!
And, of course, I love you all!!!
Love, Sister Holmes :)
