Let's start with my birthday...
I got 4 packages to open on my birthday! It was so great, you all are so great :D
We went to Chipotle for lunch and Elder Catmull and Sister Catmull, our senior missionary couple paid for the entire zone! I love Chipotle, Chipotle is my liiiife. (look that up, it's a hilarious vine)
We went to a recent convert/less active family for dinner and they love me. Paetyn is the 10 year old daughter and she was my 2nd baptism here. It was her family. They made us steak and potatoes and got me a mini birthday/party hat and flowers and a card that had a pickle on it, haha, and a $15 giftcard to DQ. They are so wonderful and I love them so much!
Then we checked the mail and I had 5 letters from family and friends!
Then, when we were home and settled for the evening, we had a knock at the door. Evan, my cousin Zacs brother in law was standing at our door with brownies and a bag of cuties! They are seriously so sweet, I couldn't even believe what I was seeing. Honestly, it was such a fun surprise!
THEN at 9:30 there was another knock on the door and it was Stacie and Bree from BYU-Idaho! They had Kinsie on the phone and so I got to talk to her for a minute. I keep forgetting that they live in Mesa. So weird, but such a blessing!
I almost forgot! Transfers were last week and I got to see Sister Schmauch the day after my birthday and she gave me a birthday package as well! We also got to see all the missionaries in our mission, so that was amazing. I love this mission so much!
It was all in all the most amazing day and I feel so blessed by everything that happened.
Saturday evening we got to go to the temple and spend the entire evening there! Apparently people dress up like missionaries and do stupid things, so our mission president wanted us all to be in a safe place. What place is more safe than the temple! I love the temple so much. We got to do a TON of family work, so that was beyond awesome.
A TON OF MIRACLES also happened this week! We got a call last Monday about a sister that wanted to get baptized. We met with her and put her on date for November 28th! Then a former investigator ended up at church on Sunday and we met with her this week and she wants to get baptized! So in one week we put 2 people on date to be baptized, both on November 28th, so that's gonna be a crazy day!
Mostly my life is amazing and I am so blessed. I hope you all have a wonderful week and recognize the many miracles that we are all blessed with on a daily basis!
Love, Sister Holbrook
