We have been teaching this little girl Lara. Technically she isn't an investigator because her mom is a member but I guess the bishop wanted us to teach her because her dad isn't a member. So we have been and she is the cutest girl ever. She got baptized this Saturday by her older brother Valentino.

| Evelin and Lara |
The other little girl is named Evelin. She is one of our new investigators. She is 11 and her dad has already had all of the lessons and believes that what we teach is true, but his wife left him with 8 kids and he has to work on Sundays. We are still working with him but for now, we walk to their house to pick up Evelin for church Sunday mornings!
I ams so happy to hear about Megan! She will never ever regret this decision. Being a missionary is the weirdest thing ever sometimes. I am so tired, and not having any success is so discouraging. Sometimes I don't even know what I am doing here. I miss my family, and my friends, and living a normal life. But I am so happy. The feeling of knowing that I am doing what Heavenly Father wants me to be doing is so rewarding. Its been really hard form to trust in Him sometimes. I don't understand why no one that we have taught has made it past the 3rd lesson, and I don't understand what the point is of planning every single night is when that day that we spent an hour planning for almost never works out. Its hard for me to not feel like I am doing something wrong. But I have learned a lot about trust. I trust that Heavenly Father knows more than I do, and he can see the things that I can't. Dad it is so hard sometimes. But I still get so sad and so scared when I think about returning to a normal life. I love putting on my name tag everyday, with my ugly clothes and frizzy hair. Its great. It's how I can be happy every day. Tell Megan that she is going to love being a missionary! There really isn't anything like it.
I am glad to hear that Brent is still hanging in there okay. He's a tough guy.
