Dearest Family,

How are you? How is Nick? I have not heard from Elder Sahagun since Mother's Day and I just miss him! Will you please forward me his emails?

This last week was a bit of a struggle. We were not able to get in touch with of our investigator May all week! And we didn't see her last week either..AH! She has a date to be baptized this Saturday but she ha
sn't finished learning all the lessons and she's not really progressing like she was 3 weeks ago. We finally saw her yesterday after church, but she is so busy with school we can't see her til Thursday. I'm sad about that. 

There is a lot of work to be done in our little branch to strengthen the members. Yesterday the Young Women's President asked to be released from her calling because she can't get Sundays off. Mutual hasn't been the huge success that I had hoped for either. The hardest part is that the leaders are not able to come and don't really do much to help get the word out. The missionaries don't mind planning activities and contacting people, but everything we've tried hasn't been really effective. I think we just need to get the youth excited about living the gospel. Our focus this week is on lessons with recent converts and less actives. We're going to find all the lost people on our ward list! (Okay not really, that is not a realistic goal, but yes we are going on an intense adventure this week.)

Saturday we were able to help at the district primary program! The kids were so cute and had an amazing variety of talents of really cool traditional dances, hula hooping, singing, and just being cute. There was a group of four little girls that recited all 13 articles of faith! I was so impressed. Maybe that will be my next memorization goal for Thai.

Thanks for sharing your small victories mom, keep up the good work! It looks like you had a lot of fun with the Taiwanese students! Thanks for sharing pictures! I'm so happy you all got to go to the temple together! I miss the temple! I miss you! Have a wonderful week! 

Love, Love,

Sister Sahagun
