Dear Family,

This week we are really beginning to see progression in our area!  We are teaching more than ever! R is doing really well! He came to church, and he is doing better with his smoking every day. He is thinking baptism for the 15th of September. Which is after transfers so we are praying we all stay for it. I really have grown to care for that man. I always tell him he's my Home Boy in Christ. ha. No but really he's been through so much and is so sick, and the gospel truly is changing him. Its neat to see the change. He still has more things to learn but I know he'll be well prepared by then. He is beginning to see the changes in himself too, which is awesome!

We had a county Fair for our ward, and that was a big success. We had one of our investigators there, A. She seemed to enjoy herself. There was food and lots of games and the members were very welcoming to her. A member in our ward who was baptized not too long ago he has a dancing horse, and so we had some great entertainment too! ha

School started back up today here in Midland. Probably the fastest "summer" of my life. ha ha. We are having our game day this Wednesday as a zone. I can't wait to see President Augustin play baseball. ha ha.

I love this work so much. However there are some days where I honestly don't know how I make it. I remember though that the Lord is always there for me, and thank goodness I don't have to get through the tough times on my own. May we apply that to all our trials in life. I know this gospel is true, and what an opportunity it is for me to help others come to that truth for themselves. Love and miss each and every one of you!

Love,
