Sept 22 Letter and Photos

Buenas tardes!
 I love you! I hope all is well. :) I don't have much time today, but
 I'll try to cover everything quickly.

 Our investigators are doing well. A came to church again finally!
 We actually went ourselves to her house in the morning, and she gave
 US a ride to church. She had slept in a little and said that if we
 hadn't come, she would have decided to stay home and try again next
 week. I'm so glad we came! She is doing well and excited for her
 baptism on October 4th. :)
 
 C is also doing very well, and came to church. She is preparing to
 be baptized on October 11th. One thing is, she drinks coffee. But we
 talked about the Word of Wisdom and she is willing to obey it. She's
 great.

 S & J came to church as well. They are such a sweet couple.
 I loved seeing them there, and they seemed to enjoy it as well, and
 feel the spirit. They are preparing to be baptized on October 18th.
 
Sometimes it's hard being a missionary and things don't the way we
 plan. Sometimes we have struggles and challenges, but I know it's an
 important part of God's plan and this life. Recently I read a scrpture
 in the Book of Mormon, about the stripling warriors who said, "Our God
 is with us, and he will not suffer that we should fall;" Alma 56:46. I
 love that and I know that it is so true. Life is full of challenges,
 but this plan of happiness was made so that we can live with God and
 Jesus Christ again, and I know we have meet that goal if we just trust
 in God and remember that He is with us.
 
 I love you lots! Thanks for all your love and support. I wish I had
 more time to respond to everyone personally, but I don't. :( Please
 remember that I love you and I pray for you!
 
 I'll try to send pictures. :)
 Come what may and love it!
 
 Love, Hermana Loveland
 

Clouds - it didn't rain, it was just cloudy for a couple days.

My companion and I bought stuffed animals

Noche Mexicana - Huge stake activity that had lots of non-members and
less-actives attend. It was fun and fairly successful :)

Last week we dressed in the colors of the Mexican flag 
and went"downtown" for a little bit. (Above) With my companion.
