Week One Hundred: September 17th,2012

Dear Family,
Well what a crazy week we've had. The really awesome good news is that I have a companion. His name is Elder Barrett and he is the cousin of the other Elder Barrett that was with me a few weeks ago. He is awesome. He's from Logan Utah and has about 20 months in the mission. He is super tall. You'll get to see in the pictures. This week we've been working really hard. Looking for new people to teach. We have seen a few miracles this past week.  We've been teaching a teenager and we gave him the Book of Mormon Promise. So he did it and one night before he went to bed a voice came to him and basically started to chew him out. That he needs to start to live a better life. That God has a purpose for him but only if he does what is right. It was really cool. Well this next week we are going to have Zone Conference where we will hear from Elder Resek of the Area. I will also have to give my last testimony which is kinda sad. Well This week is also that 18th of September the Independence day of Chile. So it is going to be a very different week also. We'll take pictures of everything. 

Love,
Elder Holton

Week Ninety-Nine: September 10th, 2012

Dear Family,
Well I'm sorry but there isn't much to tell about this week. I've been mostly leaving with members when I can and when I can't I go with missionaries from the other sector. It's been fun getting to know their members better. This past week we did have interviews with President where he basically told me that almost half my zone is going to have to changes which I already guessed. This next week is going to be a crazy one. Well I hope you all have a great week. 

Love,
Elder Holton

Week Ninety-Eight: September 3rd, 2012

Dear Family,
Wow this was a crazy week. Well Elder Barrett left last week and I've been flying solo. I spent almost no time in my own sector. I went and visited another sector one night (and slept on the floor hahaha). Plus this past week we had concilio which took 2 days. The assistents had to come pick me up to get there. It was really fun. Basically President took Our idea (Elder Smith and I) of taking converts to the temple and put it mission wide. He now wants all the stakes to do it also. So that was pretty cool. Really there isn't much happening over here. We have interviews with President tomorrow. It is starting to warm up a bit. This past winter was like nothing compared to the first two.Well I hope you all have a great week and We'll talk to you soon.

Love,
Elder Holton
