New Mission...... New Car......

Tim has been wanting one for a long time and has spent a lot of time figuring out what he wanted.  The day after receiving our mission call we decided we would take the plunge and go look for one.  This one had everything Tim had wanted EXCEPT for a little price tag.  He said he has never spent this much on any one thing except for our house.  It took a lot of courage for him to part with his money but we are going to love it!!!

We have a new mission call.....

We got a call from our post office at 5:55 a.m. on February 15, 2013 telling us that they had "something" at the post office for Elder and Sister Holdstock.  Tim jumped into his clothes and picked it up.  We, however, waited until 6:30 that evening to open it.  After going to McKenzie's soccer game, we went to Josh and Steff''s home along with Amber and her family to open the letter.  Jeremy and Foster and Brian's family joined us via a picture on Steff's and Everett's IPAD.



We had requested the Charleston, West Virginia mission so we could serve in the office with President Bruce and Linda Pitt, our former stake president so we weren't entirely surprised when the call read that we were to serve as office specialists in the West Virginia Charleston Mission and that we would be skipping the MTC and report to our mission president on June 10, 3 days after Janet retires from the Davis School District as a secretary.
