Elder Josh Holtry's Mission Blog: Ahora Soy un Elder!

Hey! So to explain the title (It says in English "Now I'm an Elder!"), it has a bit to do with something my old Companin Elder Tito told me once when he completed 18 months in the mission. He said that all the missionaries are sisters until they complete the 18 months, and then they really become Elders! :D What a guy!! (A little reference to my grandpa).

Fun fact: We had our ward Christmas Activity this last week, and it was rad. We got to interact and build trust in alot of members and investigators!

Another Fun Fact: A while ago one day, I made a nice banana smoothie, as I so often did, and I took a shower, so I left it in the freezer for a little while, I came back and poured myself a bit. I drank a glass, and when I went to pour some more, I noticed a curious black lump in the blender. I thought to myself that it would be a frozen piece of banana or something like that, but when I was pouring my second glass, I then saw clearly that it was... A cockroach. I definitely took a few probiotic pills after that.

Anywho, it´s been a normal week of work, perhaps a harder one, but a good one nonetheless. basically, I don´t have much time right now, but I´ll just throw in here that I love doing splits. Elder Jared(A new guy) came this last week, and we were able to see a ton of miracles (Referalls, new investigators, member-taught lessons, etc.) It makes me think of how we need to always be changing and switching things up, so that we don´t get too comfortable. I´m not saying that you should go insane and rob a bank or anything like that, but set powerful, short-term goals that you´ll complete, and keep adapting! It´s something really important in life! (especially in the mission).

Sooooo, as always, les amo a todos ustedes! FELIZ NAVIDAD!!!! Que la disfruten!!!! Hurrah Por Israel!!!!
