Week 84

Hey Everyone!

Sorry it's been so long. Today we got transfer calls and I am being
transferred from Pittsford to Gates /Chili. It's in Rochester but not
totally downtown, but pretty close to it. That should be good.

There hasn't been too much to report on our area, which is
probably why I don't get super motivated to write a weekly
email. We have been trying to find people to teach, so we go walking 
around the city of Pittsford talking to people or tracting, but we 
haven't had much luck.

There is a lady that has been coming to church with her member
husband for a year and a half now. She's been taught all the
lessons. She was waiting to get baptized until her husband was able to 
get the priesthood. Recently he received the priesthood and she came 
up to us and said she's ready to be baptized, so we will go over all the 
lessons with her again and she'll be baptized on May 9th. 

So that's pretty cool! Sort of random, because it's not like she's an 
investigator we meet with and teach because she's been
active for over a year and even had a calling. We are excited to
prepare her for her baptism. Well I'm leaving now so I can't
stick around for that, but its still cool!

In other news, its been getting really hot lately, and the other day
we were walking around and I went to feel my lower back, and I haven't
felt that much sweat on my back since I was riding bikes with a
backpack on in the middle of summer in downtown Buffalo last year. 
There was no winter to spring transition. It was just winter winter winter 
then HOT AS HECK!

The Eerie canal has been cool lately though, because a lot of people
will go chill by the canal and walk along the path they have, so its
fun to go try and talk to people there.

I hope everyone is doing well! This next week should be
interesting in the new area, so hopefully I have cool stuff to say
next week. bye!

Love Elder Holt

Week 82

March 23, 2015

Hey everyone!

Everything has been literally the same. We only have one less active to visit 
and besides that we spend all of our time finding. We haven't found anyone 
though so we might try to go down to the very bottom of our area to Honeoye 
Falls and try to work in that area.

Let's see....we got new iPads last week. It's the start of the new
internet proselyting roll-out, so we won't be on Facebook for one to
two months. We have a couple online ipad trainings to do that will
teach us to Internet proselyte effectively. So, that's about the
only new thing.

What else....it still snows every once in a while, but it melts pretty
quickly so that's cool.


My companion, Elder Garland and I get along pretty well so that
makes things nice.

On Saturday I was on exchanges with one of the AP's, and we decided to
drive out to the country and tract the really big houses where people
own lots of farm land...that was pretty fun. Mostly just pointing out the biggest 
houses we could see and figuring out how to get there. There was one big house 
we knocked at, of a guy that had 8 or 9 buffalo in his front yard. We didn't get any
answers from the really big houses but we might try to go back.

President Francis says we need kingdom builders, so we're going for it

Alright, well that's about it. Cya later!
Love Elder Holt
