Well sorry I'm not making my letters in more detail, NOTHING HAS BEEN GOING ON MAN! The branch is only 25 active, if that, Elder Ellsworth and I either bless or pass, there is 1 young men, he's 17 and his older brother is 30, when they come they bless and we pass. Elder Ellsworth is from Arizona, he likes chicken and he always jumps on top of me, he weights about 330 and is 6'1! He's been out for about 15 months, he has crones disease.... it sucks sometimes, if he's not feeling good we just have to sit in the apartment all day, or until he's good to go. Every little town we go tracting in is the same... the people we actually talk to, hate us and don't want to talk to us, we tract all week and teach maybe 1 lesson to someone and that's about it. we haven't been able to teach anyone for about 3 weeks now, its pretty depressing....
The members we do have are pretty cool, Elder Sorensen served here about a year ago so most remember him, he was one of the few missionaries that actually worked in the area, so that's nice to say he was my trainer. The whites feed us a really good lunch each Friday, pretty much grandma Holmes's cooking :).
Sister White is 86, her food is amazing, he daughter is 58 I think, she works at the DA's office. She always has stories of the parole agents, its really exciting to talk to her, I've always been interested in that kind of stuff, she says its a really good, secure job, something I might think of going into when I get back.... and her son is about 63, he's a funny guy. That's pretty much the meal we get for the week, And every other week the Waters feed us, they're a cool family, They have the 17 and 30 year old, its fun going over there. I'm giving another talk the last week of March.
For packages.... double stuff Oreo's, sour patch kids, Winterfresh gum, and pictures = ideal package! NO MORE CHAP STICK, I have like 8 now... I don't know why mom thinks I need that much hahah, I came out with 3 and I'm still using the first one.... I think I'm good for the next 10 years hahaha. Cant wait for the package though!
Thanks for the love,
Elder Holmes
Got it, no more chap stick....just gum and cookies! I had sent an email to Devin L. asking for more details about the area and his companion. Of course what do you expect from the man of a few words. At least he gave some details.
